Hey guys got some good news on my end, shortly after I got my defender I started looking for tires  The tires I wanted that were backorder for about 3 months just showed up! I just got them mounted on my stock rims. Took it for a 4-5 mile ride around town and no more rattle!! Tomorrow I'll get some more miles in it & update you all. Has anyone else changed tires and still have the rattle..vibe?

Ends up..... it was a sticky caliper!!! And by the way...... I HAD TO BUY AND INSTALL IT!!! NO WARRANTY. WHAT A CROCK OF $H@TT!!!

Dam.,I could go on also but I'm to friggin lazy to type that much lol Sooner or later I'll have to fix it myself, I just don't want to bug an axel if I need a driveshaft...nor do I want to remove the skid plate to remove the driveshaft...

2021 can am defender limited hd 10 brand new with 150 miles.  driveline vibration at all speeds and in both 2 and 4 wheel drive.  I am to the point of removing the floor pans to inspect the driveline, but then it occurred to me.....I just dropped 30grand on this pos!!!!!  Why should I inspect or try and figure out what the hell is going on with the vibration!!!!!  answer-because I have limited faith that the dealer will do anything and is a 90 minute drive.  This is a known problem, can anyone help with this one?????  I know im not the first to ask for the warranty solution, cmon can am comrads, give a buddy some help before I rip this thing apart.....

I hear ya...mine has been back to the dealer...was told it was fixed..BS! I bought new so I wouldn't have to wrench for.....awhile. I'm thinking unbalanced driveshaft or axle...

My rattle is gone.... figured it had to do with my right front outer CV joint.... Since it grenaded and I replaced it with lifetime guaranteed Gorilla axles...... my GROWL IS GONE!! 

Right frt? Mine is more on the left 

Im still dealing with this also, we would have assumed someone had gotten to the fix. It's very annoying & surely gonna get worst over time...

Yeah...$215 for the lights is stiff, how much did you get them for? Any chance a link to the lights?

Very nice...I was wondering if you could buy an amber light for that reason. I can't open your pics on my ph? Was it hard to switch out the LEDs?

I've got the same problem on my 2020 XT1000

He said...he changed carrier bearings...

Well got mine back, dealer dropped it off at my house @ 1am in the morning! Not happy it still makes the noise!... I tried...

I had also read I think one guy said it was the pinion preload, bearing something about issues with the way the diffs were assembled.. incorrectly? I did gear changes on jeeps & trucks for years...so I do have a clue. Anything not right in the diff will bite you soon 

Not really...dealer still has it. He said he ordered carrier bearings for it which I'm assuming for the frt diff. Needless to say I'm not happy! I've also got an issue with the motor surging...which their trying to tell me is normal BS!

Stay tuned here....mine is back at the dealer now. I hope to hear from them by end of this week. 

Looks good! What type of use will it get? You could free up some space by putting that Mustang in my garage....

Sorry I haven't been active on this post but my wife's health got so bad I sold my 2020 XT-P she went down hill a LOT faster than I expected and lost her on July 12th. I'm wanting to buy another Defendef now maybe the XMR version but hesitant because of this noise problem. I can guarantee on mine it was not a harmonic issue. MI e had to be at normal operating temp before it would start and would take a mile or two. It was something to do with the differenials I believe and the oil had to get warm/hot before it would start.

 

 

Sorry for your loss, hope things get better for you.

This was also just posted, surly something to consider..

It maybe a few days on mine, I haven't discussed this issue with the dealer yet. I do have a few other issues also. He had said he would pick it up & drop it back off to me 2.5 hours each way.... With that said no clue when he can pick it up yet? Please keep us posted, I will also...Thanks!

Please let us know what they say. I just bought mine Saturday and have not been able to ask them about it yet since they are closed on Mondays.  

I'm assuming you have the same noise? Come to find out my dealer is closed on Mondays also..I'm in IL, dealer is across the river in Iowa... 

It was a 20 amp fuse...now that you mention it, does seem like a lean surge.. sometimes it will also pop...like a small back fire when getting off the throttle..which reminds me of a lean fuel condition? Stay tuned, when I find out I'll definitely post the dealers findings. Thanks again

The 3 mode switch doesn't have a huge response but when you click the guage you will see the mode scroll across your screen, the reason I suggested the work mode is because it tones down your foot pedal response to reduce jerkiness when going over uneven surfaces. If you feel that the work mode doesn't affect the surging it may be something that requires a trip to the dealer to see if you have an accelerator code, fuel pressure etc. or if a spring or clutch button has broken in the CVT secondary? It might even be a faulty spark plug, injector etc. which the dealer should be able to find. Good luck.🙂

Thanks...your response is appreciated! When I bought it, all I did was drive it across the parking lot over to my trailer. When I got it home after a few miles I noticed it would not shift into 4W & none of the rocker switch's were lite up. Come to find out it had blown fuse, replaced the fuse....but it has acted funny ever since I brought it home..not good. Also realized my dealer is closed today which is 2.5 hours away. Anyway is there away I can pull the codes? Thanks again!

My 2020 1000XT also has one.

It is at all speeds...it will kinda... smooth out at higher speeds. Sometimes I feel like a bobblehead just cruising down the road... For the most part RPMs stay fairly consistent, really hard to say for sure while trying to keep my foot steady along with h the surging going on. And apparently my 3 mode switch does not seem to work! When changing modes I feel nor hear any difference in power or performance...I'm well aware of the clutch engagement & shifting, I've had about 10 belt driven toys...No chance I have smoked the belt either...it's been all road use with easy going. Thanks for your concern! This is driving me nuts!

New 2020 1000XT this thing constantly surge's, at higher speeds it kinda smooths out but it's still there. Thing is I don't run at higher speeds so this is very annoying! Anyone else have this issue?

I've got a vibration- rattle coming out the frt on mine @ 12-15 mph. It's seems to be coming from the left side...I kinda think it maybe related the frt diff or driveshaft? I've only got about 20 hours on it...been doing it from the time I got it home. I plan to talk to my dealer today.
