Jeep in limp mode. Found these codes.

Did you check where the intake attaches to the turbo?

Did you check your charge pipes? Specifically the post intercooler charge pipe?

I have had pins get loose on connections (where they had to be re-tensioned). This was causing an exhaust temp sensor to show as bad when it really wasn't.

Yeah I removed them for inspection, and sprayed sensor cleaner on the sensors.
Im not mechanically inclined, so not sure what im looking for, but nothing seems out of place or damaged.
I was no able to reach map sensor.

I was just thinking if you are hearing a lot more wind noise in the intake and loss of boost from the turbo, that maybe a rubber connecting boot was torn and leaking, or one of the plastic charge pipes is cracked somewhere.

Jeep finally called me.
It was the EGR.
Im out of warranty. Won't be cheap.

This kind of reminds me of my brother and I. We both bought our Cummins trucks around the same time. I deleted mine within 7k miles and he thought I was crazy since the engine had a 100k mile warranty. I told him that the only thing he will need warranty on is the emissions equipment.

Now we both have over 100k on our trucks. True enough, he had to take it back to the dealer several times over those 100k miles— all emissions related. The only thing I had to take mine back for was a water pump recall at around 60k. There was nothing wrong with my water pump, but I am not going to turn down a free new one.

Wish I could delete, i just can't find a way around the smog checks here in socal.

Back in the day, you could easily find a smog guy who will pass you. Those days are gone, or just harder to find. I've seen deleted trucks here, but just don't know anyone with one. Most of them are pre 1997 trucks.
Wife and I are desperately looking to move out of state, things are just messy here. Problem is, everyone hates us and just moving somewhere seems to be a hassle if youre wearing CA plates.

I cleared the codes, and it'll drive different once cleared, but engine light and warning lights come back on within minutes, turbo doesn't work when engine light is on.

Taking it to jeep tomorrow, I hope my 5 year warranty is still in place, got a 2020.

Being in California, it appears you have more than that. It states the EGR is covered for 7 years and 70k miles for California vehicles in the link below. You may want to print that and take it in with you.

Yeah they said that, but im at 96k miles.

Well crap. At least I tried. I hope it doesn't cost you too much.

He said 2k minimum.
Well, at least it was problem free for 95k miles. I feel like its all downhill from here, maybe sell it for something else, away from stellantis vehicles completely.

did you get any detail about the failure mode?
what exactly "failed"? was it a mechanical failure, like the EGR itself cracked?

i know there are multiple ways these things can die; it might be very interesting to ask to have the old parts returned to you so you could see what exactly the problem was. and maybe post pictures for your friends here on the forum,..?

I sent them a text. Hopefully he responds soon. He said it would only take a day or two to fix, and been almost a week.

 

[zouch]

i wouldn't expect any response from a text.
if you want to know something, talk to someone (unless you need it in print for some reason).
i'd suggest you give them a call and talk to them.

They usually respond though, maybe because its a weekend.
