New 2.0L Turbo Issues?

[2024JLdead]

Just purchased a new 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sport with the 2.0L Turbo and automatic transmission. I have 2,000 miles on it at this point and have noticed several things which I am not sure are issues or not.
1. after turning the vehicle off there are loud “pings” coming from underneath, often lasting 5 minutes or more.
2. when starting the vehicle, even a second or third time while running errands and it is warm, there is quite a bit of white smoke coming from the exhaust.

Took the Jeep in for first oil change at 2k miles and mentioned both things to the dealership. They said the pinging is natural sound of a turbo engine as it cools and that the white smoke is natural as the vehicle starts/warms.

My last Jeep was a 6 paired with a manual and I have no experience with this engine. Normal when new or an issue?

All this said, the 2.0 has a ton of pep and love driving it other than concerns listed about.

My 2024 Jeep engine is done @ 9ak miles.... Jeep says it's my fault.
All kinds of leaks killed the engine

So they're not warranting it? That's not right.

That guy is click bait. He has two posts and both say his Jeep is crap with no other details. Just ignore him.

Yeah that's what I was going to say, white smoke as far as I know, has always meant oil in the cylinders.

The 2.0 Turbo Engine isn't even offered on the Jeep Build & Price website anymore

The build and price site is garbage. The order guide is what can actually be built - currently your only options are:

O.K., If I understand what you are saying. The engine has all kinds of oil leaks. So you didn't cause the oil leaks. But you as the Owner, are responsible to get the oil leaks fixed, before it may cause additional damage. So now we have progressive damage from the lack of oil, therefore the Dealer is saying, you are responsible for it, because you ran it low on engine oil. Is this correct?

2018, first run of the 2.0 here and 137,587 miles and it’s still running!

Ya, I guess.
I'm supposed to be on the lookout for any strange issues....amd when in doubt pull over and tow to nearest dealership
...... I'm still not sure what happens if you are to pull over and spend a couple nights somewhere and then find out it was just some minor issue.
Seems like it's risky to own a new vehicle nowadays

Also, to add to the story.

I dropped the Jeep to dealership July 29th so they could look into why it was leaking oil all over my driveway

After 2.5 days of it being there,I text advisor to ask if it will be ready soon as I'm taking the Jeep on a 20 hour road trip in the next 48 hours....

Apparently during that 20 hour drive TWO new leaks occured.

Why would I think about oil leaks would happen in an almost new 2024 Jeep?

Thank you for the encouragement. I am hoping you don’t have a unicorn and that the vast majority of 2.0 motors will likewise go the distance. These treads make me think otherwise.

Actually, it's the other way around. If you have an oil leak but don't notice it and the engine locks up it's still covered under warranty. The engine lock is considered consequential damage. Only a shitty dealer would try to fight it. We've replaced plenty of 2.4Ls over their chronic oil burning issue causing engine failure.

Same thing goes for overheating. The owner is not responsible for the failure, as not everyone is able to recognize the warning signs properly (even if they should)

Oh Boy...Thank your Sir, for waking me up to the current World of thinking! I grew up in the World of accountability for ones actions, or lack of. Yes, I am a old coot, soon to be 81.. And the thinking of the younger generation has change so much, what is wrong with me.. I need to start living in the current world of thinking, and not in the past. One is never to old to learn. So when I drive my Wrangler, and keep driving it when it gets low on oil from a oil leak, even though current vehicle have warning systems, to alert me the driver, and BAM...the engine locks up, then I am not accountable for any part of this failure. Same for overheating, If my thermostat sticks closed, the warning systems turn on, but I ignore them, or don't understand them, and BAM..the engine locks up, then once again I am not accountable. O.K., I got it!!!!!! This is great to know, because I have the extended MOPAR warranty insurance policy. I really do like not being held accountable, and can join in the crowd of saying it is somebody else's fault.

Thank you so much for the update!!!

It's more like by the time the warning system indicates a problem engine damage could have already occurred. Your temperature gauge doesn't even start moving until ~240. By 250 the heat indicators on the back of the heads trigger, and by 260 it's without a doubt toast. Very little warning is given before damage occurs. It isn't like the old days where our gauges were accurate. You also aren't expected to be able to safely pull over the vehicle during an overheating condition.

Another example is if your engine is burning oil and it's ~3-4 quarts low the gauge will read completely fine until you take a turn or some other action that causes the pickup to suck in air.

Trying to blame the owner because half the 2.0s in existence left the factory with loose water outlet bolts is just a shitty thing to do. You can't fault the owner for shit build quality. Imagine if a rear differential was leaking slowly, they'd have no idea until it started making noise, and by that time the rear is toast.
