Known issues on Jeep
Jeep P0300 on 3.6L Pentastar V6 is most often caused by coil-on-plug seal degradation—when the coil boots crack, rain and car wash water intrudes into the plug well and shorts the coil. Inspect plug wells for moisture. On 5.7L Hemi Grand Cherokee, the MDS (Multi-Displacement System) solenoids can stick or fail, leaving a cylinder deactivated when it should be firing—this shows as P0300 with a subtle tick at idle. On Wrangler 4.0L inline-six, individual coil pack cassette failure is the common cause.
