‘Did I Mention the Motor Blew Up On It?:' Woman Buys Brand-New Jeep Wagoneer. Then It Makes This Sound in the Target Parking Lot
It only takes a few seconds of the viral TikTok clip from creator Tasha Hill (@tashagodfrey295) to clearly hear that something is wrong with her Jeep Wagoneer. As it circles and maneuvers around a Target parking lot near Canton, Georgia, all manner of scraping and grinding emanates from the vehicle, which the owner said has been a constant source of frustration. In her TikTok caption, Tasha claims her Jeep Wagoneer has been plagued with persistent and varied mechanical issues since she purchased it new two years ago. Most recently, a loud grinding or clattering sound has resurfaced, a problem she says has occurred sporadically since the early days of ownership. However, according to Hill, technicians were unable to replicate the issue, and because she had no video documentation at the time, no repair action was taken. That grinding sound is just one in a string of frustrations. Tasha alleges that the SUV experienced a complete engine failure, which she claims was attributed to an issue with the coolant reservoir, a point she disputes. She also references a claim from a dealership that wiring damage was caused by rodents, but says no physical evidence was ever provided to support that diagnosis. Rodent damage is a documented and relatively common issue , especially in vehicles with soy-based wire coatings. In another incident, she says the vehicle's electrical system failed, draining the battery and leaving the Wagoneer immobilized. Throughout this period, Tasha claims she has received little to no support from her selling dealership, Shottenkirk Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. She says communications with Stellantis corporate support have stalled, despite multiple assurances that a case manager would return her calls. As of her last update, she and her husband have initiated legal proceedings, although she notes that they've yet to speak with anyone who can provide case details. What Could Cause This Sound? The grinding and clattering captured in Hill's video appears to occur during low-speed maneuvering, suggesting the issue may be tied to drivetrain or suspension components . Transfer case or differential systems manage torque distribution to the wheels and are particularly complex in full-time 4WD setups, such as those found in the Jeep Wagoneer. A damaged planetary gear set , worn clutches, or a malfunctioning actuator can produce audible grinding noises, especially when the vehicle is in motion. Another candidate is failing CV joints or half shafts, particularly if the noise intensifies during steering input. Inadequate lubrication or worn boots can lead to joint binding or clatter , a failure mode not uncommon in heavier vehicles under stress. Similarly, damaged suspension components , such as bushings, sway bar links, or control arms, can cause metal-on-metal contact during body roll or wheel articulation. A less visible, but still plausible, explanation involves electronic drivetrain management. The Wagoneer's Selec-Terrain system and adaptive ride suspension rely on software to adjust traction and damping. If sensor data is corrupted or software is miscalibrated, it could create conflicting signals to the transfer case or air suspension, resulting in drivability symptoms without any diagnostic trouble code (DTC) being stored. A mechanic weighing in on the clip offered their assessment based on what sounds like a deep familiarity with Stellantis vehicles. 'That is either transfer case is locked in 4x4 or if rear differential has a limited slip or electronic locker that could also be locked in,' they wrote. 'Just a FYI Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler are some of the worst vehicles to diagnose and repair. Parts are crazy expensive and usually back-ordered months out. We have to pay a subscription fee to be able to hook a scan tool to them to simply read fault codes. I tell everyone to steer clear of any and all of their vehicles.' When Customer Service Goes Silent The silence Tasha said she's experiencing from the dealership and manufacturer underscores a deeper problem faced by many consumers when dealing with intermittent or undocumented mechanical failures: The burden of proof often falls squarely on the owner. When a vehicle exhibits sporadic symptoms without throwing fault codes , technicians may not be able to validate the problem under warranty terms. That's why consumer advocates recommend recording videos, tracking incidents in a detailed logbook, and ensuring all service visits are documented with written descriptions. Edmunds offers a detailed guide on how to do this effectively. If the issues persist, Lemon Law protections may apply, though these laws vary significantly by state. In general, a vehicle qualifies if a substantial defect remains unresolved after a reasonable number of attempts, typically within the first 12 to 24 months or 12,000 to 24,000 miles. Owners can consult resources like or contact a local Lemon Law attorney for guidance. It's also important to understand the limits of dealership service teams and case managers . Once a dispute enters legal territory, original equipment manufacturer representatives are often restricted from further communication without legal clearance. In the absence of formal resolution, social media has become a modern escalation tool, with TikTok and Facebook posts sometimes prompting faster corporate attention than formal support channels.

NFL Flag Championships: Jaguars Elite 14U wins title with shutout of Miami
Jacksonville has a football champion that wears teal and bears the name "Jaguars." The Jaguars Elite 14U team turned in a dominating defensive performance after averaging 29 points in their first six games and blanked Showtime of Miami (sponsored by the Atlanta Falcons) 13-0 on July 20 to win the NFL Flag Championships at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Village in Canton, Ohio. Brysen Wright of the Jaguars 14U Elite flag football team looks for running room against the Atlanta Falcons on July 20 during the NFL Flag Championships on July 20 in Canton, Ohio. Quarterback Dalton Motes threw a 25-yard TD pass to Jaiden Bennet in the first half and Jayden Timmon caught a TD pass off a trick play with 9:05 left in the game. In two games on July 20, Motes completed 18 of 23 passes for eight touchdowns. Advertisement For the first time in the tournament, Jaguars Elite wide receiver Brysen Wright, a rising sophomore at Mandarin High, was kept out of the end zone (he had seven receptions for 163 yards and three TDs in a 41-12 victory over Clifton Park, N.Y., in the semifinals) but he set up the first touchdown with a 25-yard reception and broke up two deep passes late in the game. Jaguars Elite 14U player Dayvon Jenkins (0) tries to elude two players from the Atlanta Falcons team in the NFL Flag Championships final on July 20 in Canton, Ohio. Dayvon Jenkins intercepted a pass on Atlanta's first possession and the Jaguars forced the Falcons to lose the ball on downs five times. Wright, a rising sophomore at Mandarin, scored 10 touchdowns and five extra points in seven games and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. He went viral on Saturday with a one-handed TD catch that was re-posted on social media by Patrick Mahomes, Chad Johnson and Bijan Robinson and viewed more than 1 million times. 'It's just a blessing to come out here and win with my guys and to bring it back to the city,' Wright told 'Getting noticed by [NFL players] at a super young age is already a blessing.'

They scored 26 or more points in four games and their semifinal victory broke the scoring record for their division in the NFL Flag Championships.

A Mill Town Lost Its Mill. What Is It Now?
The first thing the mill workers noticed on what they later deemed 'Black Monday' was the series of dark S.U.V.s pulling up near the paper mill, at the heart of Canton, N.C. The mill's hulking towers and plumes of smoke were visible for miles, rising above the Pigeon River and the trees that stretched like green ribbon across the mountains. Jody Mathis, who managed the mill's warehouse and coached the high school football team, was called to a meeting just after 5 p.m. When he arrived, men were streaming out of an earlier meeting, their faces twisted in pain. 'We're done,' Mr. Mathis, 52, recalled a friend saying. He replied, 'Done? What do you mean?' Then he noticed that all around him were burly men in their overalls weeping. Like a metronome, Canton's paper mill set the rhythm of life here for some 115 years. Residents in neighboring communities said they could smell the mill from as far away as Asheville, 20 miles east. It was putrid, like rotten eggs. People in Canton learned not to complain; to them, it was 'the smell of money.' Curious children, hearing their parents repeat this, buried their faces in dollar bills to check. If the odor kept visitors away, nobody minded. The locals were proud of the mill, which employed hundreds in town and allowed its residents to build homes and send their children to college. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
