2020 Rubicon JT misfires and auto start issues

[Illiana]

Hello all, recently purchased 2020 Rubicon gladiator. All was well first 800 miles, then p137 oxygen sensor code. Code cleared after day or two. Now around 1400 miles, owned less than two months and have blinking check engine light, p137 and p300 codes. exhaust smells terrible, vehicle barely runs, stutters doesn't shift right, etc. I want rid of this piece of trash ASAP. unbelievable to be having problems like this, apparently widespread on a new vehicle. I appreciate any tips, tricks, feedback on buyback.

Sorry to hear you have issues. Unfortunately no thing that we buy is 100%. have you had a dealer look at it yet?

Thanks for the replies. Not to the dealer yet. I have a case open with Jeep and am awaiting their instruction. I understand issues happen but the last 3 personal vehicles I’ve purchased brand new never had anything other than fluid changes and tire rotations until sold around 50k so I don’t think Jeep gets any kind of pass here. It’s not acceptable. I own 12 collector cars and would prefer that the dealer and their “certified technicians” never touch any of my vehicles. I understand that is likely where I’ll be headed next but I’m not going to fun to deal with and intend to escalate as far as I can as fast as I can. Again, thanks for replies and I appreciate any other feedback on buyback.

...but I’m not going to fun to deal with.

I can certainly see that.

Best of luck with the dealer.

How did you think FCA corporate was going to handle this and avoid the dealer?

This thread is clickbait.

There’s a know issue with All 2020 JL and JTs the current fix is to change the rocker arms and tibbets.

Apparently there’s they made a change to the engine. They basically added a timing system to the variable valve time system in the penstar

Thank you, I've seen the rocker fix being discussed and have a friend with jt that had rocker fix and cel was back on within two days. I will keep this updated as it progresses.

An update with no update. I opened a case with FCA late last week. Was told 2 business which at latest would have been Wednesday. Haven’t hear a word from Jeep. Jeep cares responded but nothing has been done through fca, not even a phone call.

Update: replacing ECM, oxygen sensor(s) and something else I will post my sheet from dealer when I get it back. should be in next couple of days
