Surge on steady throttle

[KThornton]

Has anyone had an issue with what feels like a surge/ buck while keeping the gas pedal steady around 1900-2000rpms going between 40-50 mph?? Feels like you’re taking your foot off the gas pedal for one second then pushing it back down, and it surged every few seconds. I got on the gas up to 65mph and it stopped. No warning lights flashed or came on. This is the first time it happened, wondering if I need to bring it in to be looked at.

* this is my first Jeep. Bought it used (2020 sahara) back in January

This engine hiccup happens occasionally on many of the 3.6 Jeeps, including mine. You will find other threads about it, from I can tell this is 'normal' behavior.
