Am having my first issue with my 2015 2 door JK. My starter seems to be sticking when I attempt to start it. I have to turn it off then try again to get it to start.. Wife said its getting worse..

Anyone else having this issue? Or know how to fix it?

Dealership here in Covington, Louisiana, treated my wife real bad when she attempted to drop in an get it looked at.... They wanted her to drop it off, to make an appointment to get it looked at.. Lol really?

Starter needs replaced. I had the same issue, eventually it'll get bad enough to where you need to tap it to get it to stop. It'll look something like this inside. It's the solenoid sticking.

I would be calling the dealer and telling them I'm on way to get warranty work done.
