There were a select few that had issues in 2020, not a lot, I’ve had 4 now with no issues at all. The engine design now is different than it was in 2015My 2020 gladiator needed a top end. It was a 3.6L it was rough running threw misfire codes when it sustained any high rpm and multiple dealers said it was normal. It didnt even make it to 40k miles before i had to trade it in after multiple dealers looking at it saying its normal.
My 2015 2 door wrangler 3.6l also had cylinder head/lifter issues and got the heads redone prior to 30k miles and then started ticking again right at the 35k mark before i traded it off.
My 2022 diesel has been perfect. It only has 10k miles but I doubt there will be any issues with a good maintenance schedule and knowledge on how the emissions systems operates. It idles so much smoother than the 3.6L and doesnt have that terrible throttle response or torque dip that plagues those engines. People with simple minds always say diesels are less reliable but if that were true then all heavy industry would be using gas engines. Not to mention the fuel economy, drastic power increase, and simplicity of the diesel motor itself over the gas. I wish i never purchased the 2020 3.6L. I would have saved thousands in fuel costs alone not to mention actually being able to accelerate up hills
