New 2020 JLUR diesel. Now we are on the way to Moab and 1400 miles from home. Electric throttle problem and turbo problem. Dealers in Idaho, then two dealers in Utah. Currently in Brigham city Jeep awaiting another diagnosis. Third night camped in a Jeep dealers parking lot. Fun.

I only hope that, if they need to replace the turbo, they aren’t back ordered for 6 months! I hope to find out something tomorrow, Saturday. And of course Sunday is a day of rest.
May luck be's with you! Tough way to break in a new Jeep :( We're in Beaver, UT right down the interstate heading to Colorado Springs in morning.

Oh man, I’m so sorry to read this.

It makes me cringe to read all these posts by owners of brand-new JLs having major problems with their Jeep.

Hope you get things resolved soon and get to enjoy Moab!

I wanted a more powerful engine then the pentastar in my 2020, but I just couldn't bring myself to trust the newer engine options

Hopefully it's just a bump that they can sort out quickly and get you back on the road.

Sorry to hear about the crap your going through, hope it is resolved soon. If your not familiar with Moab I’ll be here till the end of October and be happy to give you a guided tour of a few great trails most people don’t go on so there isn’t tons of traffic. We are running jlu 3.0 no lift, one wife, no dogs, no kids!

I feel for you and sorry to hear you're having to deal with this. This is the exact reason I would sell the new hybrid version if it was given to me. It was bad enough buying the new model year back in 2018 but I knew the 3.6L was tried and true. The diesel and electric are new creations and I hope what you're experiencing isn't the norm.
Nice trailer btw :)

Thanks for sharing your optimism. I will wait and see what they find in what they call level 2 diagnostics. I may need to rent a house here if they need to replace the turbo!!
