Engine Sluggish + Burning Rubber Smell

[Newbiehere]

I’ll reiterate… This. Had these exact symptoms on our 19 JLU until the brake line finally collapsed completely, clamping the brake on the rotor turning it red hot.

I was sure this was the issue but my guy had me convinced otherwise. Going to check everything out again tomorrow.

Update:

• I discovered an oil leak last night. Confirmed by mechanic to be coming from the valve covers. Hopefully remedied this with a bottle of BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak.
• Visible brake dust on the front left wheel. Mechanic drove it and tested the temp around all hubs - all were consistent and not out of the norm. He felt no pulling, although I have experienced some pulling on the highway when braking. Chocked it up to less than stellar brake pads.
• Scanned it and nothing came up that could be remotely related to what I’m experiencing.
• Stop/start warning light has been on and off today, typically coming on shortly after starting the engine, then clearing itself with restarting and staying off for 10-15 minute trips.
• Made a 1.5 hour trip home and the stop/start warning light came on in the middle of my drive + the check engine light. Did not experience any sluggishness or misfiring. I’m thinking the Aux battery may need to be replaced?

You have a CEL, what are the codes? I've seen low oil levels cause your symptoms as well.

Also using stop leak is hilariously stupid. I hope it doesn't cause any further issues.

Going to have it scanned again after work. The CEL wasn’t on when it was scanned yesterday. Oil level per the screen and physically checking is not low.

Ditto on the stop oil leak crap. Change your oil..
Im assuming your Jeep has the aux. battery, when was the last time you checked it. A cooking battery stinks. Could be the cause of your stop start light warning.

Stop/start light is off and working again. CEL is still on.

Had it scanned: P0303 - Cylinder 3 misfire // P0300 - Multiple cylinder misfire

Check the dipstick for water/coolant immediately after shutdown. You're just looking for water beads in the oil on the dipstick on the first withdrawl of the dipstick, or worse case, milky looking oil.
