general problems of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler - part 1

Vehicle gas/brake pedal to close causing the other to be applied by mistake causing accidents.

Still no remedy for the engine recall. Vehicle gives me issues. Currently will not start, can not move the vehicle away from my driveway. Has bunch of electrical errors.

* see list below for specifics - yes vehicle is available at mechanics location * 6 lane intersection - vehicle and myself were in center lane blocking traffic - made 911 call requesting officer since I was blocking traffic * see below for detailed description * no at this particular time, it is at the mechanic's shop for further investigation - shop was closed by the time the tow truck carried the Jeep to the drop off location * see below for detailed description within the last week the Jeep turned off on its own while sitting with the engine running in a parking spot, it also automatically slowed down to less than 25 mph unable to give it gas and then a warning came on about the sway bar being disconnected, the check engine light came on for a few days then turned off by it self, the last incident some of the following warning lights came on before the Jeep came to a stop on it's own while traveling approx 45 mph on a 6 lane street - serv 4wd, auto emergency braking unavailable, sway bar!, service electronic stability control, sway bar disconnect unavailable, forward collision warning off, adaptive cruise control fault, and as the Jeep cut off the warning light for the plug status fault warning came on. The vehicle has been towed to a mechanic and they will let me know the status of the Jeep once they have checked it out.

I have had several instances of the infotainment system freezing up after starting the Jeep and putting it into reverse. When this happens, the radio sound is replaced with a buzzing noise and the rear camera image becomes frozen. None of the radio controls work and putting the vehicle into park doesn't have any impact. The only resolution is to push and hold the power button until the system resets. This defeats the purpose of having a rear camera while reversing and puts the failure at the worst possible time (while backing up).

With the recent completion of recalls 68&78c , and a new hv battery, appears to me, thatjeep has changed the software for the throttle response when in electric mode. The result creates a safety hazard as you lose pedal response and power when the battery reaches below 35% or about 9 miles remaining. On the highway the Jeep loses all power and will not accelerate over 62 mph. And the same around town when you need that extra umph, the pedal becomes dead. More scary when you’re on the highway!! the result? since the electric power output is unavailable, you have to mash the pedal to the flow to kick it out of electric mode. But this is also unsafe as now you start the engine (often cold as I was running electric mode) and you smash the rpm’s over 6k to launch the gas engine (that can’t be good for the engine long term) . Before battery replacement and recall software updates, this process was very smooth and occurred with 5% or less battery life. This had occurred a few times and could probably reproduce it when this scenario is present.

I am reporting a recurring structural failure of the sky one-touch power top assembly on my 2024 Jeep Wrangler. Since August 28, 2024, the vehicle has been out of service for a cumulative total of 62 business days across seven separate repair attempts. Safety risk: the failure involves the tensioning system and internal springs of the power top. The defect has progressed to the point that visible daylight is present through the gaps between the roof assembly and the vehicle body while the top is fully closed. At highway speeds (55–70 mph), this gap causes the roof to lift and oscillate significantly. This creates a severe driver distraction and poses an unreasonable risk of the assembly further destabilizing or detaching from the vehicle while in motion, endangering occupants and trailing traffic. Dealer misconduct & repair history: during the third repair attempt, a service associate confirmed the loss of tension in the straps and springs. However, the technician subsequently refused to document these findings. The dealership omitted from their report to stellantis that they performed unauthorized 'readjustments' and 'screwed the assembly back in' to temporarily mask the defect. This deceptive reporting prevents an accurate warranty history and deliberately avoids lemon law accountability. Despite these 'fixes,' the structural seal remains compromised. The vehicle is currently unsafe for highway operation. ".

Car would not start and would not charge. When Jeep shut off it would show the red plug symbol. Once it finally started, I noticed the engine light was on. It felt like it was going to stall so I couldn't come to a complete stop for very long if at all. If I did come to a complete stop and I was on a hill, it would start to roll backwards. When I would accelorate, it felt like it was stuck in 2nd gear, when I would take my foot off of the pedal it would continue to accelorate a few mph and then would finally slow down. At times it would not want to accelorate, even if you did have your foot all the way down. Did not want to reverse at times. Didnt feel like it wanted to go. The Jeep would not allow me to drive in e-save, or electric, even though the battery was 100% charged and had a half tank of gas. The Jeep would only drive in hybrid mode. We had the Jeep at the dealership for one of three recalls this Jeep was apart of. Ironically my Jeep did not start having issues until that specific recall was "fixed". If I were to continue to drive this Jeep, not only would I cause harm to other drivers around me, but my children and myself that drive in this vehicle on a daily basis. It has been at the dealership since Friday the 13th with no resolution.

Summary of risk: 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe thermal runaway/fire hazard: per NHTSA recalls 25v741000 and 25v766000, the high-voltage battery contains damaged separators, causing internal short circuits that lead to fires even when the vehicle is parked and turned off. Non-stop "turnover" failure: the vehicle’s current state (constantly attempting to start/turn over without stopping) is a documented electrical/hybrid system malfunction. This indicates the high-voltage system is in a state of failure, significantly increasing the risk of a "thermal event" (fire). Proximity danger: per manufacturer guidelines, this vehicle is currently a life-safety risk as it is immobilized within 50 feet of a residential structure housing a toddler and pets, violating the "park outside and away from structures" safety directive. Absence of remedy: the dealership has admitted there is no current fix or available parts to resolve this hazard, rendering the vehicle "permanently impaired" under maine law. Summary of dealership response failure to secure safety: despite the vehicle being a non-drivable fire hazard, the dealership has not provided an emergency tow or a no-cost loaner vehicle to remove the threat from the residence. Predatory pricing: the dealership is attempting to leverage a safety crisis to increase the lease payment by over 60% (from $500 to $800+). Misuse of incentives: the dealership is failing to apply the $8,000 stellantis "recall relief" rebate to lower the monthly payment. Instead, they are using it to absorb "negative equity" on a defective vehicle that should legally be subject to a full manufacturer buyback. Unreasonable terms: the dealership is effectively demanding a $10,000+ total cost increase over the life of a new lease to replace a vehicle they admit is unfixable and dangerous.

I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler rubicon 4xe (VIN [xxx]) that is subject to a federally mandated safety recall involving the high-voltage battery system. I attempted to have the recall performed by an authorized Jeep/stellantis dealership, carson Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram in carson city, nevada. During communications with the dealership’s service manager, I was informed that the dealership would not perform the recall unless I signed dealership-specific authorization documents and agreed to their internal policies. The dealership further stated that if their evaluation determined the hybrid battery required replacement, they would retain (“quarantine”) the vehicle for an extended period and would not provide alternative transportation beyond a limited initial period, requiring me to pay for a rental thereafter. I objected to being required to pay transportation costs caused by a manufacturer safety recall and to signing waivers as a condition of recall service. I made clear that I was requesting that the recall be performed. The dealership then refused further service and removed me as a customer, stating that because I would not agree to their conditions they would not perform the recall and recommending I find another dealer. I subsequently sent written notice to stellantis / Jeep corporate headquarters explaining the situation and requesting assistance to complete the recall. Stellantis did not respond to either of my written notices. As a result, my vehicle remains subject to an unresolved safety recall despite my good-faith efforts to have the recall performed by an authorized dealer. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Unknown exactly but started Jeep & backed out of parking spot & placed in drive and only got a few feet & vehicle slowed & stopped placed in park & turned car off then waited a few seconds & turned back in and showed it was in run but not able to place into gear turned off again & waited longer & was able ti get started & into gear then towed to dealership this also happened in October but I was driving on the road & lost power was able to pull to side & then return home & get to dealership a couple days later when open & was told it was power train related.

My 2024 Jeep Wrangler experiences violent front-end oscillation at highway speeds after hitting bumps, resulting in temporary loss of steering control. The dealer suspects the steering stabilizer but refuses warranty repair due to inability to replicate. This is a safety issue that I am gravely concerned about.

I am writing to demand the immediate buyback of my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe due to catastrophic safety defects, multiple recalls, and stellantis's own actions that have rendered this vehicle unsafe, unmarketable, and virtually worthless. The confluence of critical safety recalls, stop-sale orders, and the announced phase-out of this model line has created an untenable situation that warrants full repurchase of this defective vehicle. Critical safety defects and recalls my vehicle is subject to the high-voltage battery fire risk recall, which poses an imminent danger to my safety, my family's safety, and public safety. The risk of spontaneous battery fire—even when the vehicle is parked and turned off—is unconscionable and represents a fundamental failure in engineering and quality control. I purchased this vehicle with the reasonable expectation that it would not pose a fire hazard that could destroy my property or endanger lives. Additionally, this vehicle is affected by the engine casting contamination defect, which compromises the structural integrity and reliability of the engine itself. This is not a minor defect; it strikes at the core functionality of the vehicle and raises serious questions about long-term durability and safety. Stop-sale order and phase-out announcement stellantis has issued a stop-sale order on these vehicles, effectively acknowledging that they are unfit for sale to consumers. If this vehicle is too dangerous and defective to sell to new customers, it is equally unacceptable for me to continue owning and operating it. The stop-sale order is a public admission of the severity of these defects. Furthermore, stellantis has announced the phase-out of the Wrangler 4xe line, which has immediate and devastating consequences for vehicle value, parts availability, service support, and resale potential. This decision effectively orphans current owners and guarantees dramatic depreciation far beyond normal market conditions. Catastrophic financial imp.

Unknown I did not get a letter from the manufacturer alerting me to these recalls. I was told by the service center that there is currently no remedy available. I was told there was no restrictions. I then contacted the manufacturer and was told there are no remedies available and no timeline as to when they would be available. The recalls cite possible fire, and stopping while being driven. No one can guarantee my safety.

This compliant is based on the manufactures unwillingness to provide a rental car despite the fact the car is in the shop now for over a week. They have stated in writing that they will not provide a rental car or alternative transportation until the repair for NHTSA recall number 25v-766 or 78c is determined. This leads me without a usable vehicle for an unknown period of time and their refusal to provide a rental in the main time while the vehicle is under factory warranty is a dereliction of their responsibility to provide a working product to the customer. I have a call with the manufacturer fca which is #95240670.

I own a 2024 Jeep 4xe in alabama with approximately 9,000 miles. The vehicle was towed to a dealership due to safety concerns related to active recalls, including recall 68c involving the high-voltage battery, as well as a second engine-related recall for which no remedy has been issued. The vehicle was checked in and a repair order was opened. Dealer diagnostic notes indicate trouble codes related to the high-voltage system, coolant heater, and evap system, and state that certain components “need to be replaced. ” despite this, I later received a text message stating the vehicle was “ready for pickup,” even though active safety recalls remain and it was not clearly communicated that the listed components were replaced. Because these recalls involve potential fire risk and high-voltage system faults, I do not feel the vehicle is safe to operate, especially with children riding in it. The vehicle has remained at the dealership for almost 2 weeks with limited communication. I am currently paying for a rental vehicle out of pocket while awaiting reimbursement from stellantis, with no clear timeline for repayment or confirmation of continued coverage. Attempts to obtain updates from both the dealership and stellantis case management have often gone unanswered. I am submitting this complaint due to unresolved safety concerns, extended vehicle downtime, unclear repair status, and financial impact related to rental transportation.

I took this vehicle to the dealership for two recalls, but there is no remedy available. I keep having these issues, every time I drive my vehicle to keep cutting off sometime it wouldn’t start and the warning light for the battery pops up, I am really scared to drive this vehicle and also I’m really scared to charge this vehicle because it might catch fire .

I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN: [xxx] ). A high-voltage battery safety recall for fire risk was issued on October 30, 2025 (NHTSA 25v-741 / stellantis 68c). From the date of the recall, I did not use the plug-in battery function as intended because of the fire-risk recall instructions. A remedy was not available until mid-December 2025. When I brought the vehicle in for the recall remedy, the battery failed the recall procedure/diagnostic and now requires a full high-voltage battery replacement. The vehicle will be out of service for approximately two weeks. This recall has prevented normal safe use of the phev battery function and has resulted in extended loss of use while awaiting battery replacement. My vehicle was previously subject to the earlier hv battery fire-risk recall(s), including NHTSA 24v-720 (fca 95b) (and earlier NHTSA 23v-787 (fca b9a)), before the newer battery recall campaign information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Subject: safety complaint – 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN: [xxx] ) – recall 68c high voltage battery fire risk dear NHTSA office of defects investigation, I am filing this safety complaint for my leased 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid (VIN: [xxx] ) regarding safety recall 68c (NHTSA campaign number 25v-741) – high voltage battery defect. The recall notice states that the hv battery may become damaged during normal vehicle operation, leading to internal short circuit, overheating, and potential vehicle fire – even when parked or not charging. This poses a serious life-threatening risk to occupants, family members, and bystanders. Current interim remedy is insufficient: owners advised to refrain from recharging and park away from structures/other vehicles. Permanent remedy (battery replacement) is still under development as of December 2025. Vehicle is effectively unusable for normal family use (cannot park in garage, constant fire fear). I operate in e-save mode only (no charging), but risk remains per manufacturer notice. Family details: wife and two children – safety severely impacted. I request NHTSA escalate investigation into this defect. Pressure stellantis/fca us llc for immediate permanent remedy by way of lease termination. Consider expanding recall scope if needed. Attached letter addressed to CO-signee. Thank you for your urgent attention to this life-threatening safety issue. Sincerely, [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] lease through Chrysler capital information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Vehicle has 3 recalls, 2 which there is no available remedy. Vehicle shut off while driving.

I own a Jeep Wrangler 4xe that has multiple active safety recalls involving risk of fire and sudden loss of power. The dealer refuses to provide an immediate remedy and stellantis has denied providing safe transportation while the recall is unresolved. Stellantis representatives told me to continue driving the vehicle despite the documented safety risk. I already opened a case with stellantis (case number: 94937890), but no solution has been provided. I rely on this vehicle for daily transportation and income, and I cannot safely operate it under these conditions. I am requesting NHTSA intervention to ensure that the manufacturer provides a safe remedy and transportation solution.

Subject: formal safety complaint – Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN ending xxx) to whom it may concern, my name is [xxx] , and I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, leased through stellantis financial services. The vehicle is currently under multiple active recalls, including a high?voltage battery fire-risk recall (68c) and recall 78c, with no available remedy. I have been instructed not to park the vehicle near homes or structures and not to use the ev/hybrid system, which indicates a known fire hazard. This renders the vehicle unsafe to operate or store and results in a full loss of normal use. Despite repeated attempts (9) through Jeep customer care, the recall center, and stellantis financial services, I have received no assistance, safe alternative, loaner, or resolution. I respectfully request NHTSA intervention to require stellantis to provide a remedy, a goodwill lease termination, a loaner vehicle, or a manufacturer-crafted safe alternative until repairs can be completed. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Jeep has issues two safety recalls 68c and 78c . 78c says that engine can be stopped anytime during driving on highway. But they are not fixing it. Battery issue 68c is going on last four years. Where is the accountability? how can they sell a new vehicle in 2024 when they already knew that it had a defective battery ?.

My 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is subject to multiple active safety recalls involving fire risk, including safety recall 78c which currently has no remedy and is under stop-sale status. The manufacturer has issued written advisories restricting normal use and parking. I requested a manufacturer buyback due to loss of use and safety impairment. Stellantis corporate acknowledged the issue but has not provided a written determination or resolution despite multiple follow-ups and compliance escalation. The vehicle remains unsafe for normal use with no repair timeline, and the manufacturer is refusing to address loss of use.

I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe with approximately 14,000 miles. The vehicle is subject to multiple safety recalls involving fire risk and potential catastrophic failure. Recall 1 involves the high-voltage battery. The manufacturer instructed owners not to charge the vehicle and not to park near structures due to risk of fire. The recall notice states that not charging may lower the risk of fire. Recall 2 indicates that manufacturing contamination (dust/debris) may cause fire or catastrophic engine failure. No remedy is currently available and no repair timeline has been provided. To perform the battery recall, the dealership advised that the vehicle must be charged. However, the dealer indicated limited charger availability and no loaner vehicles, requiring the vehicle to be left for multiple days. Recall 1 has been repaired, but it took multiple attempts because the dealership was not properly equipped to handle it. Recall 2 remains outstanding. Due to manufacturer safety instructions and unresolved recall conditions, the vehicle cannot be safely or normally operated as intended. There is now a pattern of recalls involving acknowledged safety risks with potential fire and catastrophic failure. I sought manufacturer-sponsored arbitration regarding these safety concerns. Relief was denied on the basis that risk of catastrophic loss does not constitute a defect unless a failure event occurs. . . I am submitting this complaint due to concerns regarding vehicle safety, operability, and the absence of a timely remedy.

I am filing a complaint regarding my 2024 Jeep Wrangler under an active safety recall involving the high-voltage battery. Jeep has stated that there is no repair available and advised owners not to charge the vehicle and not to park it in a garage or near structures due to a potential fire risk. This creates a major safety hazard, and I am unable to use the vehicle as intended. The recall has caused: • loss of use • safety concerns for my home and family • diminished value of the vehicle I am requesting NHTSA to investigate the delay and require Jeep/stellantis to provide an immediate remedy, repairs, loaner vehicle, or buyback.

My vehicle is unsafe to drive. Recall 1 the battery can go on fire/explode. Recall 2 the engine can just cut out - complete loss of power at any time resulting in a vehicle crash with no warning. Recall 3 engine fires I keep getting recalls and there are no estimated dates for repairs.

My 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe has two serious safety recalls: a7c and 68c. Recall a7c states the vehicle may lose propulsion while driving, which can cause a crash without warning. Recall 68c states the high-voltage battery may be damaged during normal use and may cause a vehicle fire. Jeep instructs owners to not charge the vehicle and to park away from structures. The manufacturer states that no remedy is available for either recall. This makes the vehicle unsafe to drive, unsafe to park at home, and unusable as designed. The manufacturer has provided no timeline for repair. This is an unresolved, dangerous safety hazard.

Hi, I am writing regarding my leased 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN: [xxx] ), which is currently under both fire-risk safety recalls. I have been advised not to charge the vehicle and to keep it parked away from my home, buildings, and other cars due to the potential battery fire hazard. At this time, the dealership has confirmed that they are unable to perform the recall repair or provide a timeline for when the necessary parts and remedy will be available. As a result, the vehicle is not safe or practical to use and I am paying for a vehicle I cannot use for reasons intended. Given that the vehicle is unusable due to an unresolved safety defect, I am requesting an early lease termination or manufacturer-assisted replacement. I believe this falls under a reasonable expectation for relief when a vehicle cannot be safely operated and the manufacturer cannot complete the required recall repair within a reasonable timeframe. Please open a case for review and advise on the next steps. I am happy to provide any additional documentation you may need, including the recall notice and my communications with the dealer. I have called Jeep & stellantis multiple times and neither are willing to help me resolve this issue. I have also opened a case with the bbb. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this as soon as possible. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I leased a new 2024 Jeep Wrangler sahara from gengras cjdr in fairfield, CT. I received two catastrophic recall notices from Jeep on Nov. 24th, 2025 and was notified of a third catastrophic recall when speaking to Jeep customer care on Nov. 25th, 2025. The first recall notice, # 68c/nhtsa25v-741, pertains to the car's high voltage battery. The hv battery in my vehicle "may become damaged during normal vehicle operation, which could lead to a vehicle fire. A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle. Vehicle risk is reduced when the battery charge level is depleted. Accordingly, owners are advised to refrain from charging. Out of an abundance of caution, fca us is also advising owners of these vehicles to park away from structures or other vehicles until the remedy is obtained". Fca us has no remedy at this time. The second recall notice, #a7c/nhtsa25v-710, pertains to the vehicle's hcp randomly resetting, which causes a loss of engine power, regardless of vehicle speed. The vehicle has been updated with "firmware over-the-air" software which may cause incomplete communication between the telematics box module (tbm) and the hybrid control processor (hcp), this condition may cause the hcp to perform a reset. An hcp which resets while driving may cause a loss of drive power which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Fca us has no remedy at this time. I was advised of the third recall notice when I spoke to carl, of Jeep customer care, on November 25th, 2025. I was assigned case #xxx. I was told the third recall involves remnants of sand and finishing debris of the engine block was found to cause the engine cylinders to seize, causing a loss of drive power and possibly a crash as well. Fca us has no remedy for this recall either. My car is a death trap! how can Jeep continue to sell a car like this and not face a class action lawsuit? I refuse to drive the car. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia.

My 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe high altitude currently has two open recalls with no repair remedy available. One of the recalls includes fire risk with instructions to not park the vehicle indoors or near structures. I work in a hospital where I am required to park in a multi-story parking garage with hundreds of other vehicles, so I am unable to comply with Jeep/stellantis' safety instructions. This puts me, my coworkers, and the facility at risk. Stellantis opened two case numbers for me, one for a potential buyback and one for a rental care request. After multiple calls, I was told to continue to wait and drive the vehicle. Now I am forced to drive a recalled vehicle and park the recalled vehicle daily despite the fire warnings. Stellantis has provided no. Safe alternative transportation, no timeline, and no solution. I am being told to continue operating a vehicle that they have acknowledged presents a potential fire hazard, while giving me no ability to follow their own safety guidelines. I am requesting NHTSA assistance because this situation represents a serious safety issue, and stellantis has not ordered any remedy or safe option while the recall remains open.

No fix for the recalls fire hazard family safety concern.

Unknown.

1) engine failed in an intersection and a drive thru each time of failure the car could not be pushed to clear the road 2) three open recalls have been reported since 10/2025 and to date there is no remedy 3) safety recall due to fire hazard with no fix availablei have spoken to the dealer and the manufacturer. With no fix available.

2 major safety recalls on the vehicle. Manufacturer advised not to drive the vehicle. No solution provided. No loaner vehicle offered. This is my only vehicle, not driving it is not an option, I need transportation to and from work. I have a family. I am terrified to drive the vehicle, let alone put my kids in it. I have reached out to the dealership, stellantis and oem in regards to rectifying the situation with either a loaner vehicle or release me from the lease due to the vehicle not being safe to drive.

The vehicle is subject to three critical safety recalls with no available remedy: 25v-741 (high-voltage battery fire), 25v-766 (engine sand contamination/fire), and 25v-710 (software loss of power). Following manufacturer instructions, I have been forced to park the vehicle outdoors away from structures due to fire risk and refrain from charging. For recall 25v-766, a 'do not drive' advisory has been issued due to the risk of catastrophic engine failure or compartment fire. The vehicle is currently inoperable and unusable as a hybrid. I have presented the vehicle to an authorized dealer, who confirmed that no parts or repairs exist. I have suffered a total loss of use for 42 days. This is a severe fire and crash risk with no timeline for repair.
