- 2021 Unlimited Wrangler Rubicon (Sarge Green)
- Thread starter
- #1
Picked up a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with the 3.6L engine and 6 speed manual on 11/13/20. It's been great through the first 700 miles.
However, on 12/4/20 while driving home after a 50 mile trip I noticed the engine was shaking and running really rough in the last few miles from my house. The Check Engine Light started flashing and beeping at me and unfortunately I had to have it towed back to the dealer. I did check it with a code reader before I dropped it off and it showed CEL Code - P0302 #2 Engine Cylinder Misfire.
Traded in a '17 JKU Sport for it and never had any issues with that vehicle. I have looked around a bit on the forums and have seen the threads with similar issues, so we shall see if my dealer will take it of it properly.
Just wanted to give some transparency on any issues I come across with my new purchase. Really disappointed with the fact that this is $50k vehicle with 10 miles off the lot and I'm already having issues with the engine. But it is what it is and will do my best to keep this post updated to help with anyone who might also run into this issue.
***Update*** 12/10/20
Picked up the Jeep from the dealership, they told me that they changed the ignition coil on #2 Cylinder. I have only been able to put about a ~100 miles on it since then, but it sounds like it's running smooth again. Hopefully this will be the only issue that comes up.
