I have a 2025 Jeep Wrangler (2 dr Willys) with the 3.6 Pentastar engine. Since I bought it back in January, with less than 7000 miles on it, it has had an intermittant skip or miss. Over time I determined that when the problem happens it is at about 1600 rpm and is most noticable when accelerating in 3rd or 4th gear (6 sp manual). So far it is just a single miss. I'd like to get some idea of what might be the cause before taking it into a dealer for correction under warranty. No check engine light shows and my code reader shows no code. I am afraid the dealer will see nothing on their diagnostic equipment and say there is nothing to correct.

Ask the dealer if you can take a mechanic for a test drive? If they can hold the tool and watch it they may have an idea

I think O'Rileys can put a diagnosis tester on it that will tell you

Google it.

A bunch of different causes came up for the Pentastar engine misfiring. Seems to be a bit known for that engine family unfortunately.

Been there , done that.

Then they had the gall to try and charge me for diagnosis time on a warranty covered component.
Nope. Not having that. I had to threaten to contact corporate and the DMV.
They waved the diagnostic fee after I said that.

So you bought the car brand with pretty much the worst reliability out there? (Stellantis) See I pinpointed the problem and I'm not even a mechanic. A little sarcasm there so don't get upset.

It seems all newer cars have a lot of issues especially anything made in the last few years.
Seriously good luck with the repair I hope they figure it out.
