Hi All,
I have a new 2020 JLU with the 2.0L engine (no e-torque). Did our first trip to western Colorado. It drove great most of the trip but I noticed something a handful (5 or 6) of times that seemed off and I want to see if others have experienced it and what it might be. I have researched the forum here and saw threads on throttle lag and e-torque battery issues but I donāt think this is the same since I donāt have e-torque and throttle lag I is when you press the throttle and donāt get a quick response whereas this is a loss in power with no change in pedal pressure or grade of climb. Hereās my experience.
When climbing steep grades in lower gears going under 30mph Iāll have my foot on the gas and RPMs will be at around 2500 to 3000, then with no warning the RPMs/Power starts to drop to around 1000 and the car slows down. First time it happened I was on a paved road climbing out of a canyon and I thought the car was going to stall but pressing the pedal down more it starts to recover with RPMās climbing back to the prior 2500-3000 RPMās. This happened at a place where the grade wasnāt changing (going steeper) so why the RPMās would drop when the gas pedal hasnāt been let off didnāt make sense. It has happened in both 2H, 4H and 4L. It has never died or stalled so thatās good, but having it do that when the grade/steepness hasnāt changed at all seems odd.
Anybody know what it might be? There are no error messages when it happens so the car doesnāt seem to think thereās a problem.
