2024 Ineos Grenadier Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“The rear differential cover is made from lightweight stamped metal. It hangs lower than the differential housing itself and includes a lip that can easily catch on obstacles. This design makes it particularly vulnerable to damage when driving on rough terrain, such as Class 4 state roads. A compromised differential cover may lead to fluid leaks, which can ultimately result in catastrophic failure of the rear axle assembly.”

“The contact owns a 2024 Ineos Grenadier. The contact stated that while taking his children to daycare and driving 35 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated.

“Excessive play with the transfer case shifter. Shifter was in locked position (4 High). Transmission was in Park. Hand brake was disengaged. Transfer case was actually not locked into gear and truck roll on it own. Had to move shifter around to get the transfer case back in gear. Other problem w/ the shifter (A) it would stuck in 4 High, not able to to change into 4 High Lock, 4 Low, or 4 Low Lock (B) it would not secure in other positions except 4 High.”

“At approximately 28k miles my dealer, during routine maintenance, noticed the front driveshaft boot had torn and was weeping grease. They replaced this driveshaft under warranty (5 year, 60k miles). Fast forward to 114k miles and after a throttle body failure and requesting an oil change the dealer noticed that the front driveshaft boot had torn and all the grease was out with some rust present. This time the manufacturer would not honor any warranty claim due to exceeding the mileage. …”
