Rough Idle?

[mgroeger]

Any updated on this issue ,, any one got it fixed?

Wow talk about timing! I literally got off the phone w/ the dealer 15 mins ago regarding this. There is a tech bulletin for a software update for and idle issue. It's regarding a rough or spiking idle when coming to a stop.
3 weeks ago we noticed the idle got a little rougher (negligible but noticeable to me). Then 2 weeks ago my wife told me that twice when she started the Jeep it idled really rough. For her to notice and say something means it was bad.

They are going to push the software update for me. The software came out on 10/16. I'll let you know what happens or ping me in a few days if I forget.

Updated the software yesterday. I haven't really had a chance to check it yet as it is my wife's but I'll check it over the weekend most likely.

Mine idles at around 1400 when started cold, normally around 800 after that. Seems like an ECM issue.

That was happening to my 2017 Wrangler with 59k miles. I cleaned the throttle body and it has improved a lot. But it still has a stutter now and again.
