r/WranglerJL

I have a 2018 jeep wrangler JL that randomly throws all these dash lights while driving or not driving, sometimes they go away on their own other times I’ll shut it off and turn it back on again and they go away, I’m looking to sell this vehicle but don’t want to sell it with any known issues, just seeing if there’s a common check on these jeeps or if I should just start tearing into wiring harnesses.

Bought a 2024 JL with Firestone Destination tires on it. Current tire size is LT255/75R17.

I live in Ottawa and ski in Quebec a lot. I need good winter tires, and will likely get rims to go with them.

Anyone have a good recommendation for winter tires that will fit? I'm ok reducing tires size if it helps winter traction...

Drunk driver hit & ran me head on while I was parked
Front tire took most of the damage damaging my suspension / axel / alignment
Filed a claim with insurance and have an inspector coming
I just want to know what to expect

Hello all, I am fairly new to having a Jeep Wrangler. I picked up a 2025 Wrangler 2 Door with the 6 speed manual paired with the 3.6L V6 Pentastar about 3 weeks ago.

Now, I know that jeeps are not known for their reliability. However, I’m curious to know if any of y’all have experience with this specific year and specs, particularly in the reliability department. It’s been an absolute joy to drive, but I’d like to stay driving it for as long as possible.

Need help with covering this. Any suggestions for something I can do quickly?

Hello, all!
Please pardon the new, low Karma account. I made this account new to keep my Reddit interests separate. I’m the proud, but somewhat distraught owner of a 2024 JLU Sahara, soft top and turbo engine. I love this vehicle. I do very little interstate driving and it’s great for going all over with the top open. I get a great deal of enjoyment from driving my Jeep. My kids love it too. My wife’s not a big fan of it, and honestly at this point, I find myself wishing I would’ve never bought it.

Early on in ownership, less than 10,000 miles, the Jeep randomly dropped into limp mode on me. A message appeared on the dash: “performance limited, service fuel system”. I had just bought cheap 87 octane gas. So, I assumed it was bad gas. I filled it with 93 octane as soon as I could, and the issue didn’t come back. Out of sight, out of mind.

As the Jeep approached 30,000 miles, the problem made itself known more clearly. The Jeep started going into limp mode when climbing hills, or really under any low RPM-high load situation, but only when the engine was fully warmed up. Generally, if it hadn’t been running for at least half an hour, it was safe. Stop and go traffic, and idling, would bring it on sooner. Highway driving was often without issue. Eventually it happened two trips in a row and set the CEL. The diag code was P0003.

In September, I took the Jeep to the dealership under warranty. They kept it for about a month. While they had it, I contacted Jeep Cares, who created a case and agreed to reimburse my rental cars. The dealership diagnosed a bad high pressure fuel pump control solenoid, and replaced the HP pump assembly, of which the solenoid is a part. I picked up my Jeep, so excited to have it back, and took my daughter to tumbling. We didn’t even make it home from tumbling before the problem kicked back in. I brought it back to the dealership and left it with them. This was October.

Once again, Jeep Cares covered my rentals. The dealership had my Jeep until December, just before Christmas. This time, they diagnosed a bad alternator. They replaced the alternator and gave me my Jeep back.

Two months for an alternator…

I DID notice some things improve with the new alternator! My stop/start feature, which had become inexplicably unavailable most days, started working again. I noticed the running voltage changed from 13.8 to 14.4V. But then one afternoon, on a trip to rendezvous with family at Buc-ee’s, the Jeep went back into limp mode with the same error message. I thought maybe it was a fluke, but not long after, it happened again. So, after only just two weeks back with my Jeep, I took it back to the dealership.

Once again, the Jeep sat with them for multiple months. What did they diagnose? A battery. That’s it. They replaced the battery and handed it back to me.

I drove it to the airport for work that afternoon. As 5pm rolled around, I walked out and started the Jeep. It had rained unexpectedly, and water got in through the open roof. After letting the Jeep dry out, idling with the heat on, for an hour, I hopped in to drive home.

I didn’t even make it out of the parking spot…
PERFORMANCE LIMITED SERVICE FUEL SYSTEM

At this point, I’m so burned out, I just kinda drove it despite the problem. I tried to avoid low rpm-high torque situations, tried to avoid “hot-soaking” the PCM with idling, traffic, etc. But I couldn’t ever trust the Jeep to go more than 20 minutes, without a long cool down between, without limping. So, begrudgingly, I brought it back to the dealership I no longer had any faith in. I left them specific, easy to follow instructions to replicate the problem:

Start the engine, walk away. Let it idle for an hour. Then go drive it. It’ll happen within 5 minutes.

I told them I knew they’re overworked and understaffed, but asked them please not to act like a shop doesn’t have time to start a vehicle and let it idle for an hour before a diag drive.

They kept my vehicle for another 3 months. They missed my calls, ignored my messages, failed to respond to my texts, ignored Jeep Cares, even failed to respond to the STAR engineers with alarming consistency, per my case manager. Oh and this was their MO the entire time. Every time I brought it to them. Why did I bring it back to them? Laziness? Not wanting to drive an hour to the next dealership just to have them be just as borderline-criminally incompetent? Who knows.

I stop by in person when I can. I finally get an answer. The STAR engineer replicated the issue and they’re considering replacing the PCM. Good. I’ve known this was a PCM since October, because I can access data and follow a basic diagnostic tree. Seems like things are finally moving in a positive direction.

Another month passed. Finally, I get an email from my case manager. Jeep Cares considers my issue to be resolved and is closing my case. No more rental car reimbursement. I’m totally blindsided. I tell them to fix my vehicle or I’m contacting my attorney. Silence.

I call the dealership. The story has changed. They “can’t replicate” the problem and need me to pick it up. They immediately threaten to charge me storage fees if I don’t pick it up that day. Where the fuck did this come from?

I call my attorney, update them, and give them the go ahead to step in. I’m advised to pick up my vehicle, so I do. I’m told that it’s my right to bring my vehicle back for service if it does it again. I know it will do it again, so I’m planning for that. Hopefully this time I can get it to the dealership with the CEL on, the vehicle in limp mode, engine still running, and they can see the shit show for themselves. For sure, I’ll be getting good video of the problem as it occurs. However, at this point, it’s for the attorneys to sort out. And my hope is they exchange me into a replacement, equivalent vehicle.

And there it is, my eleven month-long odyssey. It sucks. It’s awful for so many reasons. It’s a prime example of what it looks like to be a consumer in the USA in 2026. But also, it could be worse.
