My husband and I went camping this past weekend, towing our small camper behind our 2020 JLU Ecodiesel. Our destination was only an hour away from home and during our drive, the Jeep went into limp mode twice while flashing the service electronic stability control message on the dash. We've had this issue before on some of our road trips, longer distances at higher speeds, not towing anything at all. It's beginning to get very frustrating.
We're aware that this is not a new problem and has been an issue for JLs for several years now. I've tried doing some research on various forums to find out if there was ever a fix for this, but most of the posts are from before 2022.
I hope that at some point @JeepCares acknowledges that this is a common issue and begins working towards some kind of recall. It's scary and extremely unsafe to have your vehicle drop into limp mode while driving in the fast lane on a busy highway! For now, they keep releasing new models of wranglers that all have the same problems of going into limp mode and flashing messages like service electronic stability control, service the auto start/stop, etc.
We've tried to address this at several dealerships and the response is always "We won't know what the issue is until this message pops up again" and then we leave without any resolutions.
I know our diesel engine can handle more than what we put it through and when off-road it performs like a champ. We love it!! But whatever is tripping a sensor and causing the system to resort to limp mode is ruining part of the driving experience for us.
So I have to ask, in 2023, has anyone found a solution to avoid their Jeep going into limp mode??? It would be great if there was a way to bypass or "hack" the system to completely eliminate the system from resorting to limp mode.
