Electrical System Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 1

In 2020 I bought this Jeep, within the first 3 months I had to replace the tipm, at $950. 00, now 5 years later the same problem, the tipm is having issues again. Causing the engine to overheat. Jeep is telling me this happens, not at $950 every 5 years, I was told there was a recall initially when they were new. There has to be some sort of recourse, you just can’t sell faulty parts and say it just happens! thank you [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the instrument cluster went black. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 24v652000 (electrical system); however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.

I lease a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN [xxx] ). On 10/23/2025, while traveling about 50 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost propulsion and the dash displayed “put in park to drive. ” I had to coast through traffic, stop, shift to park, and fully restart to regain drive. Within minutes it recurred. This defect is unpredictable and dangerous. I regularly commute on the ohio turnpike at highway speeds and I cannot risk driving this vehicle because it can cut power without warning, leaving me unable to accelerate while surrounding traffic closes in. I am avoiding highway use entirely and limiting all driving due to the high risk of rear-end collision during a power loss. The vehicle is unsafe to operate until a permanent remedy exists. Background: the vehicle has previously exhibited powertrain/electrical issues (including overheating) and spent ~2. 5 weeks at the dealer over the summer. Early incidents occurred under 18,000 miles. Recall context: mopar and NHTSA show an open safety recall a7c / 25v-710 on my VIN for loss of motive power; status “remedy not yet available. ” the vehicle is available for inspection by NHTSA or the manufacturer. I can provide screenshots/video of the “put in park to drive” message and repair records upon request. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The fuel pump relay that is embedded within the totally integrated power module (tipm) failed on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler jk unlimited after only 47391 miles, causing intermittent engine stalls and problems starting. When taken to the sisbarro deming, nm cdjr dealership for repair, there were no replacement tipms in the stock system available to fix my vehicle, despite my vehicle being only 7 years old. This suggests an abnormally high rate of failure if the manufacturer is unable to maintain an adequate stock to support their vehicles. Given this has been an issue with Jeeps of previous model years (1), it is evident the problem has not been addressed yet. . Read more...

I was driving the Jeep on route 35 in NJ when all of a sudden, the car lost power, jerked forward thrusting be towards the windshield. The "d" on the gear shift started blinking and the check engine light went on. The dashboard message indicated something along the lines that I had to put the car in parking "p". The car behind me beeped and almost rear ended me as it's a fast road and my car slowed dramatically and unexpectedly. Ultimately, I was able to glide into a parking lot on the side street and called the tow truck. The dealership said that a faulty ota was sent out which caused the issue and that it has happened to many people. There were no symptoms or warning lights prior to the event. The dealership updated the vehicle and said it was safe to drive but I am not convinced based on the experience of others, which I have read in forums, who have had the same thing happen multiple times even after having the dealership update installed. Apparently, this ota issue was widespread.

My instrument cluster panel display has suddenly gone black/blank. This looks to be a known recall issue under recall 24v-652 which includes select 2018–2024 Jeep Wrangler and gladiator vehicles. Mine is a 2020 Jeep Wrangler. Can my vehicle be added to the recall list? I am at safety risk as I cannot see my gas mileage, warning light indicators, electronic throttle control, battery charge warning, engine coolant temperature, airbag warning, brake system alerts, transmission fault lights, etc. I have scheduled a service appointment to have this looked at the dealership where I purchased my Jeep. I would appreciate any financial assistance as it will be an extreme struggle to pay out of pocket for this to be repaired. My safety and my family's safety is at risk. Please help!.

I was driving as normal in a 40mph zone when my car stalled, steering locked up, and it flashed to put it in park in the middle of traffic. I was able to move over to a safe space after putting it in park but it kept shutting off as I inched my way off the road with hazards on. There was an update that went out that was causing this to vehicles and I was declining the update as suggested by manufactuerer by pressing the red x but it somehow forced installed itself while I was driving. Then while I was pulled over it would run for a few seconds then it would all of a sudden shut off again saying e-drive mode temporairly unavailable. Ive attached some photos but have a video of it running and shutting off if you would like me to send that.

My vehicle shut off as I was accelerating.

Jeep 4xe complete loss of power while driving almost caused a huge accident. No power, no power steering totally dangerous and they knew damn well this would happen but didn't alert customers!!!.

The car installed an upgrade over the air, in the background, and while driving it shut down. It flashes the screens and shut down while in drive on a busy road. Steering wheel locked and had to turn on and off aeveral times just to move slowly to the side away from oncoming vehicles. After looking online, found article about this issue across the country in the models, and tried the reset instructions. Eventually was able to keep it on and drive slowly to the dealer about 25miles away. They've had it since yesterday saying they reaching out to engineering unable to figure out how to fix.

Jeep pushed out an update on Friday 10/10 that we were advised to decline as it was causing mechanical failures. Despite declining the update ever since, and being assured that this remedy would work until the update expired in 30 days, apparently it still managed to push through on its own last night. I was less than two miles from my house this morning on my way to an appointment when the dashboard lit up and the Jeep completely lost power. I shut it off, turned it back on and was able to get back home, but the cel is still on. I was lucky enough to be on a side road, as I was about to enter a busy intersection. I've talked to Jeep and they do not have a fix, but it is unsafe to drive at this point. I am waiting on a towing company at the moment to bring it to a Jeep dealership.

It updated the software then after that while I was driving the car suddenly died. Lost power. Almost got hit from behind but I was lucky to be able to get on the shoulder.

Jeep wanted to do an ota update through the connect service. I continued to select 'update later' for several days then it all of a sudden my uconnect service told me it was updating. Immediately after it was updated, while on the road, the screened flashed off then back on just like it does at start up wanting me to start the vehicle. At this point we were at a stoplight and wasn't actively moving at this time. It was already running, and when the button was pressed, it turned, off, then pressed again and turned back on and restarted with on with cel. I was only a mile from my local dealership, so I proceeded to go there.

After installing an ota update . The vehicle kept stalling while I was driving it . It stalled 3 times in less than half a mile . Completely stops midway all lights on dashboard start flashing asking to be put on park then start . This is extremely dangerous while driving especially on freeways. I almost got rearended at least 3 times when this happened. My safety and the safety of everyone on the road that day was risked.

2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe , power loss twice after recall was completed in 2022. Incident after recall completed. 1st - power loss, turtle sign. Got stuck in hope bc, canada. Ecu flash fixed it, chilliwack, bc. 57000 miles roughly. Hv battery voltage sensor ckt performance issue. 2nd time- 62000 miles roughly, abrupt power loss on a highway, driving in passing lane 75mph, engine check lights on, after few secs full power loss, all lights on. After 30 mins of park mode, all lights went away. Towed it to dealership. They ordered a part, and is still stuck at dealership, since 15 days. Used my judgement & managed to safely coast and avoided risk of any incident. Turtle sign, and I think and something with battery verbiage popped up. Couldn't take an image as was in reactive mode. Parked and turned off the engine, called tow truck. After coming back from home waiting on a tow truck, turned on the car. All lights gone. Dealership found dtc's , crown Jeep dublin perimeter drive, but couldn't recreate as per my knowledge, at this time. I am hoping dealership might fix my car soon. I am reaching out to let you know the recall countermeasure didnt fix the issue. Please push Jeep for a permanent hard countermeasure, not a band aid. It's not just a severe inconvenience, but major risk for accidents on road. Dealership told me other cars came in for similar issue, due to ota update for 24my and 25my 4xe's, and it was not applied on my car 21my. Thanks.

Car flashed “shift to park”, stalled in an intersection and now check engine light is on. This is related to Jeep’s ridiculous and unacceptable software issue. Despite a “fix” being allegedly issued by Jeep, this issue still happened today November 14th despite me never accepting their flawed software update. This is an alarming safety issue.

Driving normally then loss of power and forced us to pull over. Check engine light on. Super, super dangerous. This is after an ota update. Many other Jeep Wrangler owners reporting the same issue: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

After a uconnect software update was performed the vehicle shutdown. Upon starting the vehicle the check engine light came on with several other dashboard lights and after driving the car for a few seconds the engine would shut down and would say to park and turn off vehicle. After a couple restarts and experiencing the same shutdown two more times I was able to drive in e-save but felt the vehicle was in limp mode and the engine light still remained illuminated. Called the Jeep dealership and explained the problem and the first thing they asked was did you just do a software update. I said yes and he said that’s the problem that they just had 35 Jeep Wrangler 4xe’s towed to their dealership yesterday. He said that Jeep does not have a fix for the issue as of yet. It throws a fault code p1e1d. So seems that the recent uconnect software update is rendering all Jeep Wrangler 4xe’s useless.

Vehicle shutdown. Loss of motive power after updated software from uconnect. Check engine light pop up and unable to drive.

While driving on the road the vehicle suddenly loses power and shuts down. The check engine light illuminates and a message saying shift to park appears on the dashboard. You have no control of speed at this point. The vehicle stops and stalls in the middle of the road. Once you shift to park you have to completely shut off the vehicle while in the middle of the road and restart the engine. The vehicle will drive a few hundred feet and repeat the stall. It is completely scary and dangerous.

Driving down the road, Jeep suddenly says shift to park and loses all power stalling in the middle the road. This happened twice on October 14, 2025 and needed a tow truck to be brought to a dealership. When it loses power everything locks up including steering so you can even pull over safely to the side of the road. This is a very serious issue that can easily cause a deadly accident and needs to be addressed.

Put a brand new battery in my vehicle - 3 days later driving on the highway had full loss of power - if said to service the charging system, and to put the car in park, then to press the brake and start button to start the vehicle. Went from 75mph to 25mph - rolled off the highway.

After an ota update, while driving, the vehicle abruptly stopped working and I was forced to pull over. The check engine light went on and a message requesting service to the electric charging module was shown. After cycling power a few times the car worked again. This happened again on the way home. The manufacturer Jeepcares account advised that the car needs to be towed to a dealer immediately.

The Jeep die while I was driving on cr530. Check engine light came on and stuff flashed I quickly pulled over rto the shoulder. After ten minutes I was able to drive it into a dunkin donut shop but it turned off three times risking my life each time. I had my hazard lights on but people dont care. Called dealership and waited for the Jeep to be towed.

Vehicle lost acceleration and power while driving on my way to work. I was able to restart the Jeep and get it off the road. I was able to pull the obd codes from the Jeep; p1e1d. I then remembered the last time I drove the Jeep, it prompted for a uconnect update (ota). This morning was the first time driving it since that update.

In the middle of driving, with the new update alert of uconnect box (I wasn't updating the uconnect), the car suddenly stops in the middle of the road and told me to shift to p (parking) to start while I am on d (driving mode), then, lost power and stopped. After turned it all the way off and back on, the cel came on. The car would drive, proceeded on and within a few minutes, it did it again. Loss of power and it is telling me to shift to p and press power to start.

The Jeep turns off at random times that I have to coast to a stop, put it in park, and then try and restart it again. That’s dangerous going down a highway and the Jeep to completely lose power and shut off or going through an intersection and having the Jeep shut off.

On October 13, 2025, I experienced three separate incidents involving my Jeep Wrangler 4xe while driving in hybrid mode at approximately 35 mph. First incident: around 5:10 pm, the vehicle suddenly lost speed, stalled erratically, and displayed the message “shift to d to drive” on the screen while the “d” on the gear selector was flashing. The check engine light also came on. I was able to safely pull over and restart the vehicle. Second incident: around 5:13 pm, less than a mile later, the same issue occurred again while the check engine light remained on. I again pulled over and restarted the vehicle. Third incident: around 5:20 pm, the same problem repeated for a third time. After the third occurrence, I called the dealership where I purchased the vehicle to report the issue. The service department representative immediately recognized the problem and informed me that 13–14 vehicles had already come in that same day with the same issue. Because I was only about 3 miles away, I drove carefully at low speed with my hazard lights on and dropped off the vehicle at the dealership. At the service center, the staff member stated that it might be an electrical issue possibly related to a recent uconnect+ software update. However, I had not received any prior information, warnings, or recall alerts regarding this issue — neither through the Jeep app nor by email. I am especially concerned that the dealership was aware of multiple vehicles with the same issue yet provided no notification to affected owners. I later discovered that other Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners have reported the exact same issue — the dash blinking “d” while driving, sudden loss of motive power, and the message “shift to d to drive” appearing even though the vehicle was already in drive. These reports match my experience precisely, indicating that this is not an isolated problem. This is an extremely serious safety issue. The vehicle’s loss of motive power while driving unexpectedly puts drivers and.

After the update it did, it will only drive like 20 feet. We lost acceleration and power in the middle of a busy road numerous times. Had to restart the vehicle every time. Severe safety issue, we had to coast into an intersection through a red light because we couldn’t stop because the engine kept stalling.

Car stopped dead as I merged into a major highway and said hybrid battery issue and requested to be moved into park. I turned off the car and on and put it in esave mode to move it - very dangerous.

Wires going to the trailer hitch lights plug was too close to the muffler melting the insulation and shorting to ground for the left trailer turning light.

Jeep over the air update caused my car to shut off completely in the middle of an intersection. I had to come to a complete and violent stop and restart the car. This happened three more times trying to get home - with kids in the car - though thankfully subsequent times were kess precarious because I took side streets and was careful.
