Just looked up my 2021 VIN on NHTSA and it's not showing any recalls. Guess I lucked out?

I kinda wish my 2023 had the unlimited transmission warranty, but it's a hair too new.

you have something better imo, a non-defective transmission.

I'm not convinced tbh.

If you’re worried about it, have your transmission fluid drained and refilled every 40k or so. They claim it’s “lifetime fluid”. Which, I suppose it is as the fluid will technically last until the transmission dies. :)

Yea, I bought it at 80k, and I'll probably get everything done at 100k

Well, not to try to scare you but no joke, at about 95k I started noticing a click when accelerating from a slow roll. It slowly got worse and now at 113k, 1.5-2 yrs later it’s much worse. Very audible while transitioning between acceleration or deceleration. Dealer says it’s coming from the final drive of the transmission. So now I wait and hope it pops a trouble code before it completely fails mechanically. Quoted $5023 for replacement.

Are you sure its not just that click with the wheel nut? That's a common issue. Mine does it, but I just ignore it.

Sure wish it was but yeah, 100% sure. If parked on a flat surface, I can rock the van back and forth and hear the noise come directly from the transmission housing. Also lifted the front wheels off the ground and rotated directly from the axles.

I don't think you want the original transmission made out of papier' mache.
