Equipment Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 1

Hello, I am writing to escalate an urgent issue involving my vehicle recall and my scheduled shipment. I have paid over three thousand dollars to montway as my broker, and at this point all involved parties have failed to provide a clear solution. I cannot move forward without immediate support. My Jeep is experiencing a recurring battery recall for the seventh time. This is a product defect that is outside of my control. My vehicle is scheduled to ship through pasha in the coming days, and the recall must be resolved before drop off. Pasha has informed me that I cannot keep the vehicle at the port before the appointment window, and montway has not provided any realistic guidance on where the vehicle can be safely held. I hired montway to help coordinate this process. I paid for professional support. Being told to find a holding location myself while coordinating a safety recall is not acceptable. I need all parties to provide real solutions and support. I need the following: written confirmation from Jeep that the recall service will be completed at no cost to me and that my VIN is being handled as a priority case. Written confirmation from montway that my shipment schedule remains active and that I will not be charged additional fees caused by this recall. Clear guidance on the correct next steps for temporary holding or drop off timing so I can comply with pasha requirements without further disruption. I am not responsible for additional fee that has been involved due to the recall alert from 2 days ago, just a few days before my vessel departs. I have now been informed that I may need to pay additional costs due to delays and complications caused by this recall. I need to make it very clear that I am not responsible for any extra fees related to this situation. This recurring defect is a Jeep product issue and has nothing to do with my actions or maintenance. I should not be financially penalized for a repeated safety failure that is fully docume.

The instrument cluster has stop functioning and you can't see milage, gas or any of the warning lights within the cluster panel. I was not in an accident but wanted to report the problem of the cluster since my Jeep was not included in the recall. I have an estimate of 1,600. For a repair from Jeep mechanic. I feel that it should have been included in the recall.

On Saturday morning, when we started the Jeep, the whole entire dash was black nothing works on it. You can’t tell how fast you’re going how much gas you have or if there are any lights on it is the same issue as recall 24v – 652.

I was driving and all the lights on the cluster came on, with an instruction to slowly pull over place the vehicle in park and restart the vehicle. Apparently the vehicle dead while I was driving it. At the same time I received a message from the vehicle app saying unable to charge vehicle. Strange because I was driving the vehicle at that time and not attempting to charge it.

I have been dissecting and putting off the update of the uconnect software that has recently been known to brick vehicles for about five days now when I was stopped at a light, the car push through the update andand auto updated without my selecting to do so. This caused the car to turn to a message saying to put it in park and press start in order to drive and turned on the check engine light. Luckily this is a long light, but I had to restart the vehicle in order to get it moving dirt before the traffic started to flow.

Software update caused my Jeep to go into automatic engine shutdown while driving on a busy street. The d started to flash and screen said to put in park then Jeep glitched and jerked and I had to stop. This happened multiple times while I attempted to safely get home. Check engine light came on. I made it home. Waited a few hours. Turned Jeep off and on. Waited another half hour. Tried again multiple times throughout night then light happened to go off.

10/14/2025 approximately 0745 cst I had just exited off a 70mph state hwy on my normal route to work. My 2022 Wrangler 4xe seemed to “glitch” and loose power, no systems available and then kicked back on but in lower gear. I am current on all recalls and service. Currently mileage is just under 30,000.

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

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.

Car shakes like crazy ( death wobble) expecially on highway from hitting a little bump or transition on road.

My Wrangler 4xe underwent a software update on 10/11 and since then has been stalling. It has been throwing error codes for a “stability control” issue. The car shuts off regardless of your speed, which is extremely dangerous. It left us stranded in the middle of the road several times in our 15 minute drive.

As I was driving I lost all power to the vehicle as well as the steering wheel locked. I was able to pull to the side of the road but the back end of my car was hanging out into traffic. The car flashed a message reading to shift into park which once I did I was able to turn the car off and back on again but the check engine light as well as a symbol of a tool remained up. Upon further investigation I now understood this was all due to an update on the uconnect screen system that was pushed out a day prior and many others had the same effect of their Jeeps completely turning off mid driving. This was extremely dangerous and terrifying as I had zero control over the car. Keeping lucky I am still alive! I do not feel comfortable continuing to drive this vehicle. Furthermore, the dealership nor the 1800 number for Jeep are willing or able to get my a loaner car nor assist with reimbursements for a rental car. They have no answer as to a repair for this faulty update. I am very disappointed in this entire scenario.

I was driving on the freeway when the vehicle randomly shut off and jolted me and my passengers. After turning the car off then back on the vehicle would drive fonafew miles and then repeat jolt and shut off. This seems to be linked to a software update that I did last night.

Received over ota update on Friday October 10th and Saturday the car was not drivable. . The car would start but shut off and lose power and the message was to shift into park and restart car. . This happened several times till I was able to drive the less than a mile to get home. . Thankfully this happened very close to my as there was no warning. . . And because the car just shut off if I was on a highway this would have caused an accident. .

The latest uconnect 5 update was performed by the Jeep dealership on my 2024 Wrangler 4xe on October 11th, 2024. After leaving the dealership, the vehicle shut off while driving and displayed a message instructing me to “shift to park. ” I lost propulsion and power steering, creating an immediate safety hazard. The dealership had just completed the update and told me it was safe to drive. Based on reports circulating among other 2024 Wrangler 4xe owners, this appears to be a widespread issue linked to the most recent uconnect 5 update (released around October 10, 2025). Please investigate this issue as a potential safety defect related to the software update.

While driving the vehicle shut down unexpectedly. This occurred in the first minutes of driving after a software update the night before. I restarted the vehicle and vehicle and it shut down 4 more times in 1 mile of driving.

While driving in e save mode car made me put vehicle in park mid drive & shuts off.

On Saturday, October 11, 2025, I was driving down hill at a good speed, when all of a sudden my car completely turned off and almost threw me through the windshield. I found out that this was a result of an ota update that I was not informed of. After this occurred and I finally got my vehicle to start, all the electric started glitching and the rear view camera only operates sometimes. This car is very dangerous I will not get back in it ever again. My vehicle is at coastline Chrysler in san juan capistrano, California where it will remain as I do not intend on ever getting back in it again. I am requesting to get out of the last 11 months of my lease and a full refund for 25 lease payments as well as my $4500 cash deposit upon leasing. I am in a rental and I cannot afford it so I need immediate action.

The Jeep would shut off while driving. Lights in dash flash and beep and a message is displayed to put car in park to start while the vehicle is off but coasting.

The newest update caused the car to turn off while driving the vehicle. Check engine light is still turned on and I can’t drive the vehicle in any of the 3 modes it has.

After an automatic uconnect software update on Saturday 10/11/25, my vehicle stalled out multiple times while driving. Even though it's in drive, the vehicle automatically shifted into park, the dashboard lit up, and the vehicle dead stopped in the middle of traffic. I took it to a Jeep dealership near me where they said many drivers are having the same issue. Worst than that, is that I had to call Chrysler just to get a rental car approval, but since the incident happened on a Saturday of a holiday weekend, I have been 4 days without a car.

Was driving on highway at speed of 60mph then the vehicle loss motive and drifted with no power. Check engine light came on and was able to move to the shoulder. I was able to restart the vehicle but would move for a min then loose power again. Didn't matter whether on electric, hybrid,or gas.

Immediately following a uconnect software update performed around 11:00 am on October 11, 2025, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler rubicon 4xe stalled multiple times while driving on the highway. The vehicle lost power and became inoperable, creating an extremely dangerous situation. I was transporting my child at the time. Trouble code: p1e1d. Number of stalls: 3 total (1 on highway, 2 shortly after). The dealer confirmed they had received around 12 other Wrangler 4xe vehicles towed in the same day for the same issue, and another nearby dealer reported over 15. I have since learned through online owner forums that many other 2024 Wrangler 4xe owners are experiencing identical failures after the same software update within the last 48 hours. Jeep/stellantis has not issued any public statement or safety notice. This is a critical safety hazard affecting many vehicles and should be treated as a potential defect related to the most recent uconnect update.

Installed telematics box module update on 10/10/25. Now the Jeep is continuously saying to service the electronic assistance system and will lose complete power while driving and display the “shift to park” and service engine light is on (lost power 3 times in less than a 2 mile distance).

The uconnect system updated last night this morning the Jeep shuts off while driving about every . 5-1 mile.

Diving when alert came on that said service charging system and vehicle was going to be disabled. With in seconds vehicle powered off. I was barely able to pull off and part of my vehicle was still stuck sticking out on a busy road. Vehicles check engine light came, battery light and a message about the charging system. Has to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. I was told this was the 4th Jeep towed there today after yesterday’s update.

Used 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe on 10/11/25 and stalled 8 times in 2 miles. Had to come to complete stop put in park and restart . I circled back home and used my husbands car to run errand. I tried calling my dealer and they were closed. My husband tried the Jeep the next day and engine light was on but Jeep ran fine. I learned from a Jeep forum today that there was an update released on uconnect on Friday 10/10/25 and it affected lots of Jeep owners with the same symptoms . I did see the notification on Saturday and delayed it the 1st time and Jeep ran fine but the accepted it later and it happened after that. Thank god I was in my quiet neighborhood and returned the Jeep home safely that day. We will report this to our dealer on Monday when they open as this was scary and the engine light is still on.

Following last nights software update, this morning while driving car alert beeped and dash read “shift to p to start” and engine light came on. I restarted and engine light on. Car seemed to be in electric and gas mode at the same time.

Vehicle shut down without warning while driving 6 times within an hour time period trying to get to nearest repair facility. No throttle response and loss of power steering upon occurrence. After pulling over and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle functioned normally for 5 to 10 more minutes but a check engine light stayed illuminated. Vehicle was operating on battery power, not gas engine, each time. Dealership has possession of the vehicle currently.

Uconnect software update was pushed through and causing issues with drivability.

A serious safety issue that occurred earlier today. While driving with my family on the highway, my 2024 Wrangler 4xe suddenly shut down completely without warning. I was fortunate to pull over safely, but it could have resulted in a serious accident. A complete shutdown with no warning is extremely dangerous and there was no recall.

On 10/11/25 I was driving and the vehicle cut off. Most lights on the dash lit up and message in the screen by the odometer said stop vehicle and put it in park. I did, waited a few minutes and it started up, but the engine light remained on. Third time I got going and home which was a few miles. Next morning g engine light still on. Followed some advice from a Jeep forum and did a soft reset and then shut it off and turned it back on and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. The engine light went off when I restarted and remained off for the balance of Sunday 10/12/25. Not sure of any damage this might have done and am I fixed?.

After an over the air update, when driving the vehicle all of the sudden thought the car was parked and lost all power. After coming to an immediate uncontrolled stop, I was able to shift into park and then drive again however due to the issue and many others reporting I am not comfortable driving above 25 mph.
