I've just under 8K on mine. And it does this every once in a while.
Funny how we all have this problem, but the dealership says the problem doesn't exist unless they witness it!

Yup...me to...started at around 6000k. Not a huge issue so I don't think the dealer will ever be able to reproduce because they're idiots!

I have this too... I thought it may have been because of the Airaid, even if it isn't, the dealer will say it is.

Mine ran rough one time and I stopped buying gas from that station. I only buy from "Sam's" I have never had a issue since. I only run 87 octane and I have 14,000 miles now.

I think thats the only thing my JeeP DOESNT do!.. it idles extremely smooth all the time... so much i dont even feel it running... now of course the service engine light is eternally on and if i let it idle for very long the temp gauge will go way up... but by gosh it idles smooth!
