I have a 2012 2door jk. When I first start my jeep after sitting for a day or all night and then start to drive it lugs for a mile or two until it warms up. Does anyone else experience this? I know years ago a car needed a few minutes to warm up before you could drive but new car I haven't needed to warm it up. I really didn't notice this until they replaced my cylinder head.any help would be great.... Thankyou.:confused::thumbup::D

I don't have any problems with mine. Even if I let it sit for a week and don't drive it, it still goes just fine.

I'm starting to be really glad I didn't trade in my 2010, haven't experienced any of the odd things the 11-13's I read on here

I wondering if they screwed something up when they did the heads. Seem like this jk has a lot of issues, even when I press down on brake pedal it makes clicking sound but not all the time just here and there. Frustrated.:banghead:

if you're still under warranty I'd take it in and get it repaired. I've read a few posts where there are cylinder issues (starts with clicking noise) and heating issues under load - heads not done right to allow proper coolant flow

Most of these odd things are people just being paranoid and the 3.6L shits on the 3.8


I don't always wheel , but when I do I keep it tight......... Stay dirty my friends.

Also, I have to remember from a year age my jeep was resurrected from the dead. I know some remember my jeep after my big rig tire took out everything from my windshield forward. Hard to say why its being stubborn but I never notice this last issue until after the head replacement. Hmm. See what the deal says....:)
But I still love the jeep and power it has wouldn't change that.:D

Mine acts jerky when it is cold. The throttle seems overly sensitive. It goes away as soon as it warms up. Fly by wire electronics are most likely the cause. It is most likely running as lean as they can get away with. Carbarated engines just gave it more fuel when adjusted properly.

Agreed, I don't miss my 07 slug.... but I do miss not having to worry about reliability. I'm just worried about issues that arise once the warranty is up :grayno:
