I just got 2021 JLU on Dec 9 with 45 miles on it. Now Dec 27 I have about 2400. A few days ago i noticed when idle, the engine felt really jumpy and rough and would get a little better when I drove it and RPM around 3000. Then yesterday I was accelerating and it like wouldn’t go faster (?), felt like the gear was stuck and just couldn’t go and then i pushed more on the gas and my check engine light started flashing but then stopped. Has been on solid ever since then. But it’s just really rough and jumpy feeling and based on other threads i’ve read, people have had similar problems so i’m hoping they can fix it no problem. Idk exactly if it is the engine misfiring but I just dropped it off at jeep tonight for them to see it tomorrow. I need to drive my jeep 2000 miles to montana in about a week, so, i really need everything to be okay. I just traded my old 2016 JKU with 3.6 L (that never had any problems until cam shaft went bad and i replaced it but then traded it in) with 146k miles on it for this new one.
Just kind of disappointing spending 45k on a car and something is wrong already :/. Makes me nervous to drive it across the country especially if i’m gonna be in the middle of nowhere i don’t want my brand new engine to fail me.
EDIT: I have also noticed that my oil temp runs a little low (?). the gauge has never reached the halfway mark ever since i got it which i wondering if that was normal. It’s always around 188-190° which i feel like it should be around 240°. wonder if this is related to engine misfiring :/.
