37 Electrical System problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/13/2026

When driving the vehicle down the highway it just randomly hard shifted out of know where almost causing us to be rear-ended. The dash then said service transmission continue in drive do not shift or turn engine off until you reach a desired location. You may not be able to shift again until services. It then limited power to the vehicle. It was show codes u1003, u0101, and u0402 multiple times. The vehicle was taking to a dealer where it was "parked" only it wouldn't go into park. We had to put the e-brake up holding it in place at the dealer so it wouldn't roll. Then when attempting to shut the vehicle off it only stopped the engine from running. It stayed in acc mode all night until the dealer could mess with it the next day. The dealer is now saying it's just a dead battery. This is unsafe and could have ended very badly just for a dead battery that showed no signs of issues before hand. For a vehicle that on has approximately 57k miles and is 4 years old this is horrible.

38 Electrical System problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/12/2026

After 68c recall completed, there is a noticeable reduced power and sudden engine (ice) starts when it shouldn't be needed. It takes seconds for the vehicle to pickup speed when needed such as when merging lanes which causes a high risk for an accident due to this delay in response. This vehicle is not running as intended, it seems the threshold has been reduced on purpose which is not why I purchased this vehicle to begin with. I need this vehicle to operate as it once used to. Since there has not been a code produced dealer is not able to help. This is not a one off I know other consumers are running into the same situation something needs to be done to resolve the root cause of the problem and not mask it while changing the vehicles original specifications in terms of performance.

39 Electrical System problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/12/2026

I purchased my Jeep Wrangler 4xe on sept. 27, 2025 thinking all battery issues were addressed by the manufacturer. Then a month later the 68c hybrid battery recall is issued. My hybrid battery passed the 68c recall on Dec. 22 at the dealership. Ensuing 78c and 21d recalls meant I couldn't park in my garage and charge my vehicle for weeks at a time. My electric motor would not start on Aug. 11. Check engine light on, electric mode unavailable and ac not working. Then the vehicle forced itself into park while reversing to be towed to the dealer and died in the street. These vehicles are dangerous because there is no warning when they stop working. They just stop - sometimes in traffic or the middle of the street. With 68c, we were led to believe that only some batteries would have issues and that the installed software would monitor battery health. What we began to see was the batteries were structurally deficient and all batteries would fail at some point. The software was designed to shut the vehicle down if it detected a fault. Post 68c recall, many owners experienced a decrease in the performance of their Jeeps as the internal computer sought to balance battery load. This meant we weren't getting the mpg advertised and promised. We also received a warranty extension of unlimited miles and unlimited years. But, the fine print says the battery will be replaced only if the value of the vehicle is more than the cost to replace the battery. My Jeep has lost $14,000 in value in less than a year while I put less than 10,000 miles on it. The dealer has had my vehicle for a month and confirmed the hybrid battery is the problem. They have ordered a new one, but the new ones have the same defect. Owners are also seeing additional electrical faults after a hybrid battery replacement.

40 Electrical System problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/11/2026

I took my 2022 Jeep Wrangler to my local Jeep dealership for a 21d fire risk campaign recall inspection and powertrain software update. Car had to be towed to dealership a few days after services were completed, and was diagnosed at dealership, with an offline tcm, throwing a u0101 code. Car was in good working, driving order prior to the recall and software update and is now completely inoperable.

41 Electrical System problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/11/2026

The dashboard is completely out. I cannot see my speed,know if my lights are working, cannot not know if there is an issue with the car, cannot see gas. Completely unsafe. Year, make, and model are under the recall # 30b but because my VIN is not bringing it up it is not covered despite matching everything else and it is a safety issue.

42 Electrical System problem of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/11/2026

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, the instrument cluster display malfunctioned, and a solid black screen was displayed. During the failure, the speedometer and warning lights were not available. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 24v652000 (electrical system). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 100,000.

43 Electrical System problem of the 2023 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/10/2026

I own a 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4-door sahara 4xe (VIN [xxx], plug-in hybrid). Since new, this vehicle has had repeated electrical and high-voltage (hv) hybrid battery system failures. About eight months after purchase, at approximately 6,590 miles, the vehicle lost power and would not restart in a parking lot ("service charging system" warning) and had to be towed to the dealer (repair order #[xxx], 10/18/2023–10/20/2023); a 12v battery failure was diagnosed. On February 9–10, 2026, the dealer performed recall campaign 68c (jl/wl phev hv battery) on this vehicle — a software/module update to the bpcm, hcp, ahcp, pcm, tcm, and idcm, plus an hv battery diagnostic analysis (repair order #[xxx]). On [xxx], at approximately 22,692 miles, the check engine light illuminated and the dealer diagnosed a hybrid (hv) battery failure. The manufacturer (stellantis/fca us llc) subsequently opened a warranty case (#[xxx]) and a lemon-law repurchase case (#[xxx]), confirming the vehicle could not be repaired and offering repurchase or $15,000 cash compensation. As of this filing, the vehicle remains at the dealership, out of service, well past the dealer's own promised repair completion date. Across its ownership, this vehicle has been out of service for hv-battery- and electrical-system-related repairs for a documented cumulative total of approximately 50 days. I am filing this report because a vehicle losing propulsion/electrical power unexpectedly, and a manufacturer needing to run an hv battery software recall campaign on this same vehicle only six months before a full hv battery failure, both raise safety concerns beyond an ordinary warranty repair, and I want this pattern on record in case other owners of this model are experiencing the same failures.

Failure Date: 08/10/2026

On Monday, xxx, my 2018 Jeep Wrangler jku had several errors displayed on the dashboard: abs, brake, and traction control failures. I took my vehicle to an auto repair shop and they diagnosed it as a faulty abs module. This part is on back-order as per discussion with local Jeep dealers in [xxx]. Stellantis confirms that this part is not available as it has been deemed a systematic failure. There is currently no solution from stellantis which is causing safety concerns and increased risk of operating my Jeep Wrangler. The error code is c2200: anti-lock brake module internal - stored.

50 Electrical System problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/04/2026

2022 Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. The hybrid high-voltage system failed the first time it was used, in April 2026 at about 35,000 miles. I had not charged or used hybrid mode before that because of the manufacturer's high-voltage battery fire-risk recall guidance (recalls 23v-787, 24v-720, 25v-741) not to charge and to park away from structures. The check engine light came on at first use and has not stayed off except when cleared by the dealer. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Jeep dealer for the same hybrid high-voltage system concern on 4/19/2026, 6/17/2026 and 7/5/2026 without a fix. On 8/4/2026 the vehicle would not start at all and had to be towed. It stayed at the dealer 29 days (8/6 to 9/4/2026). The dealer replaced the main battery and found dtc p0e15-00 (electric coolant heater performance) with the high-voltage coolant heater in a 'locked permanent' unrecoverable state, and replaced the hv heater. The three earlier visits never identified this high-voltage thermal-management failure. Safety risk: a sudden no-start / loss of propulsion, and a failed cooling component in the high-voltage system of a vehicle population already under repeated battery thermal-runaway / fire recalls, where the manufacturer has acknowledged fires in vehicles that had received earlier remedies. The failures were confirmed and documented by the dealer on repair orders. The manufacturer (stellantis) has been notified in writing and has declined to repurchase the vehicle. Repair orders are available on request.

51 Electrical System problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/04/2026

I am writing to express my concern regarding the handling of the urgent safety recall affecting my Jeep Wrangler. This recall has been classified as an urgent fire and safety risk, yet no remedy is currently available. The recall notice stated that owners would receive notification regarding the remedy by July 9. As of today, August 4, I have not received any follow-up communication, and the NHTSA website continues to list the recall as unresolved with no available repair. I find it deeply concerning that a recall deemed urgent due to the potential risk of fire has remained without a remedy for approximately two months. Owners are expected to continue operating vehicles that have been identified as posing a serious safety hazard while having no meaningful way to mitigate that risk. This places consumers in an unreasonable position, especially those who rely on their vehicles for work and daily transportation. I respectfully request that NHTSA review whether the manufacturer is complying with its obligations under federal motor vehicle safety recall requirements. Given the severity of the identified risk, I also ask that NHTSA determine whether additional oversight or enforcement is warranted to ensure affected owners receive a timely remedy. Additionally, I ask NHTSA to consider whether the manufacturer should provide interim accommodations, such as loaner vehicles or rental reimbursement, while a permanent remedy remains unavailable. I respectfully request that this matter be escalated and that I receive an explanation for the continued delay, an estimated timeline for when a remedy will be available, and guidance for owners who are left with no practical way to address this known safety hazard. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response.

52 Electrical System problem of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/01/2026

Abs module failed forcing Jeep into limp mode. The Jeep dealership said the part is on indefinite back order. C2200.

53 Electrical System problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/01/2026

My 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe has an intermittent loss of acceleration when operating in electric mode. As the battery charge decreases, electric propulsion power can become significantly reduced. Pressing the accelerator sometimes produces inadequate acceleration until the gasoline engine engages. This creates a safety concern when entering traffic, crossing intersections, merging, or climbing hills because the vehicle may provide substantially less acceleration than expected. There is no warning message or warning light before or during the loss of acceleration. On a separate occasion, the vehicle displayed “electric mode unavailable” with approximately 50% battery charge and switched to hybrid mode. Electric mode became available again several minutes later. The vehicle has been inspected by two authorized Jeep dealers. No diagnostic codes were found, and the most recent dealer stated the vehicle was operating normally. The problem remains intermittent and has not been reproduced by the dealer. The vehicle and its components are available for inspection upon request. The vehicle previously operated normally in electric mode. My primary safety concern is the unpredictable loss of expected acceleration without warning, particularly when acceleration is necessary to safely enter or merge with traffic.

54 Electrical System problem of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/31/2026

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked with her son inside the vehicle, the instrument panel went blank. No warning light was illuminated. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure had occurred several times. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 24v652000 (electrical system); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.

55 Electrical System problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/31/2026

After dealer recall 21d inspection on 7/30/2026 I have experienced 2 electrical failures in the recall system, and/or systems associated with recall. The first incident on 7/31/2026 at approximately 9:00 pm my wife, 2 kids, and a neighbors kid were at a stop light for a 4 lane road when the Jeep unexpectedly made a popping sound and shut down. When I arrived I pushed the vehicle into a parking lot and attempted to restart. I was able to restart the vehicle but instantly started seeing multiple warnings including service power steering (code associated with the recall), throttle body warning, and warning that the vehicle would shutdown for safety. After the vehicle shutdown the electrical system went crazy (gauge cluster lights flashing, windshield wipers turned off and on, relays clicking). I had the vehicle taken to my mechanic on 8/6/2026 where they determined that the aux battery was bad (previously replaced in 05/2026) and the main fuse array fuse n3 was blown. The mechanic replaced both components, tested the vehicle, and rechecked for any new error codes. On 8/11/2026 my wife and 2 kids attempted to leave soccer practice and the Jeep would not start. I brought them home and returned to the Jeep. As it was near closing time for most auto parts retailers I decided to start by having the main battery tested. When I opened the hood to remove the battery I noticed that the engine compartment seemed abnormally hot. I removed the battery and had it tested by autozone (failed-only 6 cca). I purchased a new battery and when I installed I still noticed an abnormally high temperature in the engine compartment. After installing the new battery the Jeep started & instantly displayed a power steering warning. I shut the vehicle down and let it rest approximately 30min. When restarted a low voltage warning displayed immediately. I returned the next day to a dead Jeep. I returned the Jeep to the dealership that inspected for 21d. (aux batt. Bad & main fuse array blown again).

56 Electrical System problem of the 2023 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/28/2026

After recall 68c was performed, the vehicle lost meaningful electric-only operation. This is not form. The gasoline engine now intervenes during routine electric-mode driving with adequate charge. The dealer/manufacturer has not restored the vehicle’s advertised phev functionality. Visited dealer to document, and dealer did not charge vehicle and test to see. They instead scanned for codes and said no codes returned.

57 Electrical System problem of the 2025 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/27/2026

As I was driving a service electronic stability control came up on my dash and I lost control of the vehicle. The brakes did not work and it was hard to steer. I almost hit a vehicle and the Jeep kept rolling until it stopped. Then I received an alert that the brakes did system, anti lock brake system, and electronic stability system failure. This is very scary my vehicle is a lease and they say they are fixing it but I’m very scared I will lose control of my Jeep while I’m driving.

58 Electrical System problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/25/2026

In June 2026 the 2024 Jeep Wrangler sahara 4xe power shut down along with service engine light in two seperate instances while my son was driving at highway speed. I made the dealership aware and had the vehichle checked out. They said nothing wrong with vehichle. On July 25 2026 I was driving vehichle on highway and cruise control came on by itself along with service engine light. I had no power to accelerate. I had to pull over and shut car down before proceeding. I brought the vehichle to paul bailey dealership and they grounded the car on 8/7/2026 when stellantis agreed to pay for a rental car.

59 Electrical System problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/25/2026

On 7/25/2026, the vehicle set dtc p1128 (closed loop fueling not achieved, bank 1) with a steady check engine light and no drivability symptoms. I cleared the code with an obd2 scanner. My wife had driven the vehicle to a local store and back earlier with no issues. Shortly afterward, with the vehicle loaded for a trip, she applied the brakes at the end of our driveway and the vehicle did not come to a complete stop. She described the pedal response as delayed. She proceeded onto our residential street at low speed and applied the brakes again. The brakes did not function properly. The pedal traveled to the floor with minimal braking effect and the vehicle came to a rolling stop rather than a controlled stop. She pulled to the side of the street and cycled the ignition off and on. She then drove approximately 10 to 20 feet and applied the brakes again with the same result: pedal to the floor, rolling stop only. Steering effort was normal throughout. We judged the vehicle unsafe to drive and cancelled the trip. It has not been driven since. Within 10 hours of the braking failure, the vehicle experienced a complete electrical failure. The key fob would not unlock the doors and I had to use the physical key. With the brake pedal depressed and the start button pressed, the instrument cluster illuminated for less than one second and then shut off, repeating. The vehicle would not start and remains disabled. No crash, no fire, no injury. The vehicle has open safety recall 21d (NHTSA 26v-363) listed as incomplete. All other recalls were completed at dealer service in may 2026. Current mileage is ~62,000.

60 Electrical System problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/21/2026

When using electric mode, repeatedly and consistently, when I try to accelerate (for example to get onto a highway) despite having the acceleration fully depressed, the car does not accelerate. After some time, the gas powered engine will rev, the rpm will shoot up and then the car will start to accelerate. If I slow down the electric engine will take back over, but then if I try to accelerate again the same thing will occur. I have videos of the dashboard confirming electric mode, delay to accelerate and eventual activation of the gas motor and rpms. This same issue was noted by Jeep technicians after the fix for a previous recall on the battery. This is dangerous, if I am not able to accelerate I can not safely drive change lanes, go onto highways, or avoid danger. It has been occurring, but my first video is from Feb 2026, and most recently July 2026.

61 Electrical System problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/21/2026

The engine/dash wiring harness connector xy230a suffered severe thermal degradation, resulting in a melted pin and causing a complete loss of communication with the transmission control module (tcm, code u0101-00) and continuous dashboard warning lights (service connection error). This vehicle has a chronic history of unresolved electrical failures, having been brought to stellantis puerto rico dealerships three times for the exact same issue, most recently in June 2026. This condition is directly related to the thermal and fire hazard characteristics described under safety recall campaign 26v363 (mopar recall 21d) for 2022 Wranglers. However, the stellantis regional warranty manager formally denied recall and powertrain warranty coverage based on routine oil change loyalty metrics and second-owner status. The dealership forced an upfront payment of $2,311. 38 under a partial diagnosis to replace the harness. The vehicle was rendered inoperable and held for 30 days and actually held in service. In addition, they don't bring loaner. The manufacturer's regional warranty manager from stellantis initially confirmed that I would incur zero costs for this repair but later retracted the decision formally denying recall and powertrain warranty coverage due the reason mentioned above. Regional management flatly denies any relationship between this melted harness failure, the active safety recall or the vehicle's electrical repair history I formally demand a full reimbursement of all repairs and rental expenses, and that my powertrain warranty and safety recall rights be fully honored as originally promised.

62 Electrical System problem of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/20/2026

I have a c2200 diagnostic code for an internal fault on my abs module. This is on a national backorder, and the Jeep dealership told me there in no current eta. Therefore, I have been driving around with no abs. Sometimes the transmission will surge or bog down causing erratic behaviors on the road which nearly led to me rear ending someone. I worry what will happen if I am ever forced to slam on the brakes in an emergency, but unfortunately, I have no choice but to continue driving it.

63 Electrical System problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/18/2026

Vehicle has recurring failure of the uconnect infotainment system and underlying telematics box module (tbm). Diagnostic code b1560-13 (cellular antenna 1: circuit open or short to battery) has been documented on two separate dealer visits. On the most recent occurrence, the head unit displayed an android recovery boot loop screen preventing normal system operation. The vehicle is subject to open safety recall a7c / NHTSA 25v-710, which the manufacturer has classified as a loss-of-drive-power defect caused by incomplete communication between the tbm and hybrid control processor (hcp). Safety risk: per the manufacturer's own recall description, the hcp may reset while driving, causing loss of motive power without warning. This creates a crash risk for the driver, passengers, and surrounding vehicles. The uconnect failures appear to be a symptom of the same tbm communication defect. First reported to dealer may 2025 at approximately 8,687 miles (ro docs917129). Dealer performed tbm2 reset per star bulletin s228a000005 and cleared codes. Same defect returned. Reported again June 2026 at approximately 24,969 miles (ro docs935140). Dealer documented the exact same code b1560-13, referenced the same star bulletin, and stated in writing: "the remedy for this condition is not currently available. " dealer reseated a connector as an interim measure. Failure has since recurred with the android recovery boot loop. Warning symptoms prior to failure: intermittent "uconnect box see dealer" service messages on the dashboard display, followed by system reboots. Component is available for inspection. Vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Jeep/Chrysler dealer on two occasions. No independent inspection has been performed. No police or insurance involvement — no crash has occurred yet.

64 Electrical System problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/16/2026

I was driving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe on a public road when the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of propulsion. Before driving, the check engine light was illuminated, and the air conditioner was blowing hot air instead of cold. Shortly after pulling onto the roadway and while approaching a stoplight, the vehicle lost power while it was still in motion and became inoperable, requiring it to be towed to the dealership. The dashboard displayed “service hybrid electric vehicle system. ” the vehicle has fewer than 20,000 miles. I believe this is a serious safety concern because the loss of propulsion occurred while driving, leaving me stranded in traffic. I no longer feel confident in the safety and reliability of this vehicle.

65 Electrical System problem of the 2019 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/15/2026

Instrument panel cluster has malfunctioned. Spedometer, tachometer, odometer, fuel guage, oil temperature, tire pressuer, and several other dashboard displays both analog and digital are not functional. The instruments on the dashboard have gone blank and do not provide a reading when the car is powered on. As a consequence of the instrument panel cluster failure, I am unable to see my exact speed, potential vehicle warning indications, and fuel levels while operating the vehicle putting the safety of myself and others at risk. The vehichle has a history of dealership and mechanic inspections. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms were evident prior to the failure of the instrument panel cluster.

66 Electrical System problem of the 2020 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/15/2026

While driving on the highway, the check engine light illuminated. Approximately 5 to 10 minutes later, the battery warning light came on. Upon exiting the highway and coming to a stop at an intersection, the automatic engine start/stop system engaged and shut down the engine. When attempting to safely proceed, the vehicle suffered a complete electrical failure due to the 48v mild-hybrid etorque system failing to restart the engine. The vehicle refused to crank, would not shift, and became entirely disabled and stranded in the middle of a live intersection, creating an extreme safety and collision hazard. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealership, where technicians officially confirmed the failure. The dealer diagnosed the root cause as an internal electrical failure of the motor generator unit (mgu / belt-driven hybrid starter generator assembly), which completely disabled the vehicle's charging and hybrid restart capabilities. The failed component is available for inspection.

67 Electrical System problem of the 2017 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/15/2026

My abs module is confirmed faulty resulting in an unsafe car to drive. The abs module is extremely hard to come by, on an indefinite backorder, and I cannot get the part anywhere. Maybe people waiting over a year for the part. This is resulting in aftermarket or refurbished parts, which are risky and unsafe. I am out of a vehicle because I cannot get the part and no one wants to buy a faulty car.

69 Electrical System problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/13/2026

While driving from [xxx] to [xxx], the vehicle experienced two sudden loss-of-propulsion events at highway speed. During the first incident in downtown [xxx], cruise control disengaged, the transmission abruptly downshifted, and the accelerator became largely unresponsive. The vehicle rapidly lost speed in traffic, and another vehicle nearly rear-ended me because I could not maintain speed or accelerate. The engine remained running, but the vehicle appeared to enter reduced-power or limp mode. I pulled over, shut the vehicle off, and restarted it. Normal throttle operation temporarily returned. The check-engine light and “stop/start not available” warning remained illuminated. After approximately three hours of otherwise normal driving, I activated cruise control again. The same condition immediately returned: cruise disengaged, the transmission downshifted, throttle response was lost, and the vehicle rapidly decelerated. Restarting again restored normal operation. This unexpected loss of propulsion created a serious collision risk because the vehicle abruptly slowed in moving highway traffic without allowing me to accelerate out of danger. The problem appears directly associated with cruise-control activation, although the exact mechanical or electronic cause is unknown. The vehicle has approximately 40,300 miles, was purchased as Jeep certified pre-owned, and had a new oem battery installed by an authorized Jeep dealership shortly after purchase. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate similar reports involving sudden throttle loss, abrupt downshifting, reduced-power operation, or loss of propulsion at highway speeds. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

70 Electrical System problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/13/2026

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request?multiple components across four separate manufacturer safety recalls: (1) the high-voltage battery (recall 68c), currently being replaced by the dealer; (2) the hybrid control processor / drive system (recall a7c); (3) the electric hydraulic power steering pump (recall 21d); and (4) the 2. 0l engine (recall 78c, status disputed — see below). The vehicle is currently at the authorized dealer and is available for inspection there. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk?recalls 68c and 21d are both manufacturer-designated fire risks; 21d specifically carries an "urgent: fire risk when parked" designation in NHTSA's own database. Recall a7c describes a loss of drive power without warning while driving, which the manufacturer states may cause a vehicle crash. I experienced a stalling event with the drive indicator blinking on 10/17/2025 (10,553 miles); unknown whether this was directly caused by the a7c defect, but the symptoms match the recall's description. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center?the 68c battery failure has been confirmed by the dealer, who is currently performing a full battery replacement. Unknown whether the 10/17/2025 stalling event was ever formally diagnosed as connected to recall a7c; the dealer's repair order for that visit does not reference a7c or a root cause. Unknown whether recall 78c's applicability to my vehicle has been confirmed or denied by the dealer — see discrepancy described below. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?the vehicle has been inspected and serviced multiple times by the manufacturer's authorized dealer. Unknown whether any fca/stellantis field engineer or investigator has separately inspected it. No police involvement; no c.
