I'm posting this for entertainment purposes.
2018 JL Rubicon, 3.6L. It's a lease. I've ordered it in late February 2018 and took delivery in mid April of same year. Currently 28,xxx miles. Serviced at the dealer according to OLM. Wife driven. Vehicle spent it's life in northern Virginia.
On those occasions that I've driven it, it saw multiple WOTs. I drove briskly and aggressively, as if a modern family sedan: mostly gunning it.
A week ago, after staying at 80-95mph for an hour+, it started misfiring and vibrating and check engine light came on. Still drivable and I could still reach 95mph, but acceleration wasn't the same. No issues with coolant/oil temperatures and oil pressure. Had to drive it in this condition for another 300 something miles. Gunned it all the way.
Vehicle is currently at the dealer. Misfire in cylinder #6. Dealer already replaced 2 rocker arms and will replace VVT solenoid. After that, supposedly, I can pick it up.
28,xxx miles!!! Engine that's been out for what, like 8 years? How on freaking Earth? I don't really care since it's a lease, but pretty bewildered in general that this is possible on a modern car...
