Front End/ 4x4 issues
I have a 2015 Platinum 4x4 that is having front end/ 4x4 issues, truck has been to the dealership a couple of times to get it fixed. Dealership is having issues pin pointing the problem. Driving is 2wheel drive truck had a clunking sound, shift into 4 Auto and truck would make a terrible grinding sound. Gas mileage dropped as well. Dealership replaced both front end hubs which eliminated the grinding sound and some of the loose clunking....but am still having a loose feel in the foot pedals and gas mileage is still not where it should be....max mpg currently is at 17.3...was getting 19-20 mpg. To me it feels like this is an issue in the front end 4X4 system that engages the front wheels for the 4 wheel drive..??? Anyone else had any or similar issues?
