It almost sounds like your clutch is starting to slip.

 

Could be the clutch slipping, or it could be a random misfire when the engine is under load.

 

This ^^^

Mine (2015 JKUR w/ 30k miles) does this. Had the clutch replaced under warranty about 7k miles ago, so highly doubt the clutch.

Mine does this especially when cold...

 

I'm not sure that it's the clutch. I had a clutch go out on my car and it doesn't feel anything the same. Engine misfire seems more suspect, does anyone know if this is a problem that i should get checked out or isn't it a big deal?

 

Apparently there were head issues on some 2012s. I don't know exactly what the issues were, but a bad head could cause loss of compression on some cylinders, which will cause a misfire.

I'd pull the plugs and inspect them before jumping to any conclusions.

If one of the plugs is fowled, maybe do a compression test on that cylinder.

Have you ever replaced the plugs and wires?

I'd pull the plugs and take a look. Hopefully, it's something as simple as a bad plug.

Are you getting any lights on the dash? ABS or traction control, coming on or flashing?

 

I do on my jeep what does it mean?

 

No, no check engine light or others illuminated.

 

damn!

 

Well, finally was able to get the Jeep to the shop to have them check the plugs. I didn't feel like dealing with changing them so I'll let them do it. They said they are badly worn and need replacing. So thanks for the help and the advice guys!

 

Just following up as I am having similar issues. Did the plug replacements solve the issue?

Hello. I’m having this same problem. What did you do to fix this? Thank you

 

This sounds like the infamous crank sensor issue. Easy and cheap to change. Sensor intermittently goes bad and the computer loses the crank position and hiccups until it comes back.
