20k Km on my 3.6 2023, no issue just some complaint about the start / stop windows not giving much info about the status of the e-torq especially when it is cold outside.
The Start/Stop is programmed to not work below 5F (-15C). Other then that what status are you looking for?

More information on the status. From the manual there is 20 deferent reason for start/ stop to not engage. AS I pointed out, one is battery too cold, would it be hard to add the information in the start/stop page along with the not ready message ?

You wouldn’t think it to be that hard to add but to be honest I think the only time I ever looked on that start/stop page was when you mentioned in another thread.

I think I'm the first 2018 in this thread, with a 2.0 that I've owned back since "Tried & True" was considered a valid argument. No issues with eTorque, but I did notice that the 48V system can mask a failing 12V battery. Not really an issue, but sometimes eTorque and the torque converter lockup are not as seamless as I would like.

I've also been a little concerned with the DC-DC converters cooling capacity (or maybe it's the actual battery cooling circuit). On hot days it delivers less voltage to the 12V side (like 13.6V at its lowest). Still enough to function correctly, but a big enough change that I watch it. Cold days are up to 14.2V.
I noticed my eTorque stopped working. I think it was around 20° or lower? Came back when it warmed up. Figured it was something to do with temps lithium batteries will charge at.

I have a 2021 E torque V6 at 32k miles still have the original 12v battery and the volts are still where they should be.
The 48v E Torque battery has been great no problems, this Jeep has been very good to me so far.
I even have my original windshield, only oil changes and filters so far.
When I brought it to the dealer last service they said something about the diff needed to be changed but when I picked it up they said it either did not need to get done.
How's your E-Torques holding up?
your have your org windshield? Ive already cracked my second one and have just under 11,000 km on it. nothing crazy either second time was just driving down a normal road in the city.

They should at LEAST made a badge for the JEEP indicating what the engine was/is.

I'd rock a small 3.6L eTorque badge at the back, but just be thankful we didn't get these giant ugly suckers (forgivable for a Hemi, I suppose)..

In cold temps, the electronic start/stop system will often show "not ready" either due to the HVAC still working to get the cabin to your programmed temperature (turning HVAC off seems to avoid this) - or because the generator is still working to recharge the 48V Lithium battery (or the 48V is still recharging the 12V AGM) - or when stopped on an incline greater than ~4° up or down.

Don't believe the eTorque cooling system does anything to regulate the battery temp when parked overnight and Lithium batteries seem to lose charge a lot quicker in very cold temps.

21 3.6l etorque bought used in November and now have 41,000 miles on it, no issues with the system. I do have a weird and loud click/clunk going from park to reverse on the first shift after sitting for a while, but other then that it’s been a dream.

2021 3.6 e-Torque.....40K miles, no problems. Stop/Start is great. I am not too excited about the extra cooling system, weight of the e-Torque battery.

I drained the 12volt batteries a few times by leaving the vehicle in drive (too many years with a manual) and chose to change the 12v battery before a long solo backcountry trip.
