Default Trouble with 2016 Cherokee

Purchase a new Cherokee latitude v6 a couple of weeks ago. It tends to idle very rough and the engine knocks occasionally. Will bring to dealer service dept this week. Does anyone have a similar problem? First Jeep ever purchased.

Hi All, I'm new to the forum. So if I be in the wrong place, toss my butt out where it belongs.
3000 miles on a 2016 Cherokee 3.2 Limited. I've had noisy brakes from the get go. So I called the hot line and got a case worker on it.
First time in the shop, 4 new brake pads. Same.
2d time in , 2 rotors and pads on the front. Same
Still making scraping sound.
Comes down to after all this crap, it's the semi metallic brake pads!! The corporation said I could put ceramic pads on at no cost,,BUT,, if something happened because of the brakes they would not cover it.
Another thing. The case worker said no one else has complained yet.
......I'm staring to get a little paranoid here......

Thanks in advanced.
Ron

I was told at the get go I would hear the brakes more than normal because of the pads and it was no big deal. They work well and I have seen no gouging of the disks so it aint no big thang to me.

It seems strange to me anyway, that the pads would have to be so loud.They said it's an off road suv. I also own a 3/4 ton diesel 4x4, and can't hear the brakes. 31,000 on the truck. Pulls a horse trailer, lives in hilly snow country, plus off road. And the brake are quiet and in good shape. So what gives, on a lighter jeep cherokee?
