Equipment Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

My 2013 rhd Jeep Wrangler is showing codes b1b02 and b1b06. I took it to jason lewis automotive in sparta TN yesterday. The airbag light is on and the horn does not work. These are the exact same failures identified in safety recall s40. The previous owner of my car got this done in 2021 but the remedy has failed and the safety risk is back. They confirmed that the clockspring is bad and needs replacing. The confirmed the codes and it matches the s40 recall.

The one touch power roof has rails from side to side. Several of these have broken at their attachment to the track system. This has created several issues: 1) the roof is no longer leak proof, 2) it creates excessive noise at high way speed. I have not used this system much, so it is unclear why this failed. When I presented the car to the Jeep dealer service area, I was told the only solution is to replace the entire roof - several thousand dollars. There is no other fix. This is out of warranty, but it clearly is a manufacturing issue common with this roof. I believe Jeep should replace this roof system at their cost , not mine. They have not shown me why this happened nor have they claimed it is my fault.

The car which is barely driven, suddenly caught on fire while parked in my home driveway after sitting there for close to 8 hours. So the car wasn't in use at the time. It's completely gone.

The digital screen on my Jeep 2018 Wrangler went out and I took my car to the dealership to have them look at it they said that they cluster needs to be replaced I looked up the cluster and noticed that there is a recall on it for some 2018 Jeep Wranglers but mine was not part of the recall. I am trying to figure out why my is not part of the recall if they are now have to replace my cluster. There recall number that my Jeep is not a part of is NHTSA recall number 24v652. Can someone please explain why my VIN number is not included as I am having the same issue now.

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. ".

A recall repair was completed in 2023 related to an overheating warning. Recently, the same issue has returned. The engine cooling fan runs at a very high speed for several minutes and then shuts off, even when the vehicle is cold or operating under normal conditions. An overheating warning message appeared briefly while driving, but the temperature gauge remained within the normal range. This suggests the engine may not actually be overheating and that the issue may be related to a faulty sensor, electrical system, or control module. The problem has not yet been fully diagnosed by a dealer due to diagnostic costs, but the symptoms are consistent with the original issue that led to the recall repair. This condition could pose a safety risk because the driver may receive inaccurate overheating warnings or may not be alerted if a real overheating condition occurs. The issue is intermittent and has occurred both while driving and when the vehicle is stationary. Attempts were made to contact the manufacturer to report this as a repeat issue after a recall repair, but no resolution was provided and a formal case was not successfully established.

I own a 2023 Jeep Wrangler rubicon 4xe (VIN: 1c4jjxr66pw627097). The instrument cluster/dashboard intermittently shuts off while driving, resulting in complete loss of speedometer, warning indicators, and critical driver information. This creates a significant safety hazard, as I am unable to monitor vehicle speed or receive warnings while the vehicle is in motion. In January 2026, I took the vehicle to the dealership for this same issue. The instrument cluster was repaired under warranty/customer satisfaction repair. However, the exact same problem has now returned. My vehicle is not currently included in recall 30b, but the symptoms are consistent with that recall involving instrument cluster failure. I am concerned that this defect may affect additional vehicles not currently covered. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and consider expanding recall 30b to include vehicles like mine. I have video evidence showing the dashboard shutting off while driving and will provide it as part of this complaint. Https://drive. Google. Com/drive/folders/1ab3nkolhpv66es_vrzsifkln83ezv5lc.

I was driving my truck on Saturday March 21,2026 and all of a sudden black smoke started pouring thru my heater vents. I could no longer steer the vehicle and I put into park shut it off and left the vehicle. After we got out we could see a fire under my Jeep. By the time the fire department got there my Jeep was a total loss.

I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler and I was trying to get it fixed but the dealership said it was the abs module and that they could not get one in because they are on back order because they warehouse that provides the chips for them burned down. I was then told that it is not promised to when they will be available and then they tried to turn around and ask me did I want to trade it in. So now I am stuck still paying for the Jeep and I can not drive it because of the abs module. I understand life happens but the manufacture should have called a recall or something because people are not going to be able to drive their vehicles but still have to pay for them and I am sure no one wants to start over on a new vehicle when they have paid so much on their current one.

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.

Airbag/sos system failure - stated resistance on airbag was “above 8 ohms” this happened - and [xxx] emailed me three times in the first 30 days of ownership. Replaced steering column control module - but this may not resolve the issue. Am looking to have this lemon replaced - been having trouble with any real contact from Jeep/stellantis/fca information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

On approximately 95% of my driving trips, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe suddenly and unpredictably loses acceleration or drive power. When I press the accelerator, the vehicle does not respond or accelerate normally. A warning then appears stating that electric mode is unavailable. After several seconds, the vehicle begins operating normally again. There is no apparent pattern, and this has occurred while traveling approximately 50 to 70 mph. The malfunction appears to involve the hybrid propulsion or power-control system. The vehicle is available for inspection. It is included in fca recall a7ululo:\/\/a nawe7cl7c (NHTSA campaign 25v-710), which concerns loss of drive power associated with an over-the-air software update. No remedy is currently available. This condition putssafety because I cannot rely on the Jeep to accelerate or maintain power when needed. At highway speeds, it could prevent me from responding to traffic, merging safely, or avoiding a hazard. I have stopped driving the Jeep on highways whenever possible and use back roads instead. The dealership has not yet reproduced or diagnosed this specific problem, although the symptoms are consistent with recall a7c. The vehicle has received service for other recalls and is awaiting an engine replacement under a separate recall. It has not been inspected by police, insurance representatives, or an independent repair facility for this issue. There is generally no warning before the loss of acceleration. The “electric mode unavailable” message appears after the malfunction begins, and normal performance returns several seconds later.

While driving on the highway, my Jeep completely shut off and I lost control of everything the staring and I have no clue why it just shut off. I’m worried if I drive it I could do this while I’m on the highway and the third lane and I may end up in a collision.

Vehicle communication failures. One point unable to start the vehicle. Then the wipers and all warning lights came on without being able to turn the vehile off. Had to disconnect both batteries while the wipers destroyed themselves on a dry windshield. This is also causing a service shifter warning light then total loss of power steering while driving down the road at any speed. This includes highway speeds. Dealer replaced power steering system with no resolution. Thousands of dollars in repair. Dealer stated they repaired wiring. Did not fix the issue. Now it is more intermittent. When the communication between modules is not functioning properly it disables the power steering even while driving. This is extremely dangerous and I can no longer trust my vehicle. There are thousands of reports and or reviews about this issue. Someone has to be held accountable. I have spent thousands and my dealer spent weeks trying to resolve the issue. Jeep has roughly 37000 miles. This is an on going issue since October of 2025.

My vehicle is experiencing ev system failures, stalling, and system shutdown warnings that make the vehicle unsafe to operate. These symptoms began after a recall repair that was performed by the dealership. The dealership initially stated the recall was repaired, but the same symptoms have continued and have now worsened. The vehicle will display ev system warnings and will stall or shut down systems while driving. The air conditioning and other systems also shut down as the vehicle attempts to protect the electrical system. I have brought the vehicle back to the dealership multiple times regarding this issue. Despite the vehicle showing the same symptoms associated with the recall, I am now being told I may have to pay for additional teardown work unrelated to the ev system. This vehicle has become unsafe to drive, and I have requested assistance and escalation from dealership management but have not received a resolution. I am filing this complaint due to the safety risk posed by the vehicle stalling and shutting down systems while in operation.

I purchased a used 2015 Jeep Wrangler from a dealership in new york. At the time of sale, the vehicle had an open urgent safety recall (19v-018) for a defective takata passenger airbag inflator. This recall was never disclosed to me by the dealership prior to or at the time of purchase. The recall advisory was noted on the nys inspection report conducted the same morning the vehicle was sold to me, but was not communicated to me in any way. I discovered the open recall after experiencing repeated mechanical failures following purchase. Four days after purchase the vehicle overheated and had to be towed — the coolant system was found to be completely empty. An independent licensed mechanic subsequently inspected the vehicle and stated on record that the mechanical defects appeared to be pre-existing conditions that existed prior to the sale. The vehicle currently has an unrepaired takata airbag inflator which the manufacturer has identified as capable of exploding and sending metal fragments into the vehicle interior at high speed, risking serious injury or death to occupants. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The recall remains unrepaired. The dealership was contacted and a manager verbally acknowledged they did not disclose the known defect prior to sale.

Acceleration lag: either bucking or temporary loss of motive power when attempting to pull into traffic has almost caused us to be hit several times. We had the problem almost immediately after purchase, but the lag was short and the Jeep would leap forward and back tires would squeal which caused the back tires to wear quickly compared to front. The bucking and loss of power while accelerating became dangerous after I took to the dealership in Feb 2026 when they also did recall 68c related to the battery. We stopped charging it completely and still had the issue. Took back to the dealership in March 2026 and they said they could not replicate issue. Tried to schedule an appt last week and they never got back to me. We have avoided several accidents so far but I am now afraid to drive it. Assuming these are unrelated but just in case: at 10k miles the check engine light came on, and I couldn’t add any fuel (automatic shut off happened immediately) and the fuel cap wouldn’t open. Foss motors wrote: "checked for codes in system. Vehicle had codes p2451 fuel tank isoation valve a stuck, po4ec evap system large leak detected and p04ee evap system small leak detected. Performed evap system small leak verification test. Test evap system and found isolation valve sticking. Completed replacement of isolation valve. Replaced fuel filler tube 68413327ad and 68412848ac fuel cap. " in sept 2025 (~45k miles) - check engine light came on again soon after with errors: po4ec evap system large leak detected and p04ee evap system small leak detected. They could not find leak or issue.

My 2018 Jeep Wrangler jl only now has 77,700 miles and got a blown head gasket!? this is so unacceptable! makes me regret ever purchasing! there is a ton more with same issue some with less miles and has been well maintained. Took to the dealer is who diagnosed and supposedly repaired due to a warranty that I am having to pay big money for! alos, uncalled for! took to dealer when aux light first appeared but then eventually the engine light came on and I took to dealer and that's when diagnosed this! very very upsetting as warranty should not have to cover not to mention, how do you stop from happening in another 70000 or less miles? Jeep needs to be responsible and step up big and do something regarding this problem that is there problem!.

While driving my vehicle on Monday, February 16, 2026 I heard a loud pop come from the front of the vehicle. Right after that smoke began to come through the hood vents. I stopped the vehicle to inspect and at that point the engine compartment was burning heavily. I could barely get out of the vehicle and away before the whole front end of the vehicle was engulfed with fire and heavy black smoke. It looked as if the fire started somewhere on the righthand side of the engine compartment because the right front tire was the first to blow out in the fire. The vehicle is with the insurance company to inspect, but it was in perfect running condition, all maintenance performed. There were no dash warning lights that came on, no odd sounds heard and the vehicle ran until I stopped and shut it office. There has to be something that was wrong with the manufacturing of this specific engine to make a loud pop and burn as hot as it did. I wanted to report this before the vehicle is sent away to be demolished due to it being a complete loss.

There is a class action lawsuit for 2021-2023 Jeeps where the power steering catches fire. That happened to us.

We were at a complete stop, with foot on break when my Jeep lunged forward twice , second lunge hit the vehicle in front of me, also that car was at a complete stop. It has lunged 2 other times while at a complete stop .

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).

Horn no longer works and the seatbelt light is on. My mechanic said there’s a recall… the clock spring apparently is contaminated… also, I see there’s a recall on the airbag.

On 2/2/26 I took my vehicle to thomson motor company to have the 68c recall repair completed. On 2/5/26 my car wouldn’t start and I was stranded. My vehicle was towed back to the same repair facility. On 2/6/26 they told me that my regular battery died and had to be replaced. After researching when the hybrid battery is re-coded/reprogrammed from the recall, it causes the regular battery to die due to and system overload to the regular battery. The dealer wouldn’t take responsibility or Jeep wouldn’t take responsibility. The dealer wanted to charge me $500 so I had the local auto zone replace the regular battery with a new battery for $238. 00. I sent in a copy of the slip from the dealership to show what they had recommended and submitted a copy of the credit card receipt to Jeep and they are refusing to cover the replacement. I would not have had to replace the regular battery if the 68c recall didn’t cause my regular battery to die due to the overload. From my understanding they should have been replaced at the same time to keep this from happening. I want to be reimbursed for replacing the battery, for the cost of the tow and for the diagnostic at thomson motor center.

The car does not ride properly. . . It stops suddenly, it jolts, it vibrates, the battery sounds like it is overworking or overheating. Our plug-in charger caught fire and when we found out there was a recall on the battery we brought it to Jeep and they told us it's fine. But, it's not fine. It completely stalled while driving this morning and feels like it's going to blow up. I no longer feel safe driving it as it keeps jolting, stopping and feeling like it's going to explode.

My dealership (Jeep bayside annapolis, MD) is refusing to fix the recall. They say they’ve had issues with some of the cars, and it’s taking too long. They said they’ve are capable of fixing the recall, but are refusing to do so.

Shortly after leaving my house I glanced at the digital readout for my speed and noticed that the instrument cluster was blank. I pulled over, stopped my Jeep, then restarted it to see if that would correct it, which it did not. I took it to a reputable auto/electrical garage who at first noticed a master fuse block blown and replaced the fuse block. That didn't correct the instrument cluster however but they did find a recall 30b for 2020 Jeep Wrangler. I called stellantis (1 800 334 9200) today, Feb 16th . I was told by 3 different people in 3 different departments that even though there is a safety recall on 2020 Jeeps my VIN# isn't included. I asked why not and was told that it depended where the Jeep was made. They also told me that the repair will be at my expense. This doesn't seem fair to me because the recall is a safety issue to replace the instrument panel cluster free of charge. Just because my Jeep VIN# wasn't included doesn't mean it wasn't going to fail like the others that were included!! I have no readouts on my dashboard and am sure it won't even pass inspection now because of that, let alone serious safety concerns without warning lights. I have to ask you, shouldn't my Jeep be included in this safety recall and be corrected by the manufacturer?!?! thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter! lauracampbell6958@gmail.

While driving higher speeds (45 mph+) I have had my vehicle start shaking very violently which results in me having to slam on my breaks to gain control of my vehicle. When this happens I have been traveling on the highway or interstate which puts other drivers at risk due to me unexpectedly having to come to a halt to gain control of my vehicle. I have taken my vehicle to the mechanic multiple times (dealership twice and local mechanic twice) and I have had everything replaced on the front end that could cause this and it is still happening. Steering dampener has been replaced twice in a year. Mechanic seems to believe that there is a design flaw in the vehicle that is causing it at this point. There is no warning message or anything that gives me any warning. I am scared to drive my vehicle on the highway or interstate.

The high-pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failed internally while I was driving at night, causing the vehicle to suddenly stall and shut off completely while my children were in the vehicle. This resulted in an immediate loss of power and created a dangerous situation in traffic. The failure caused metal debris to spread throughout the entire fuel system, and the dealership confirmed that the system requires full replacement. I was quoted approximately $15,000 for repairs. This vehicle previously had a manufacturer recall related to the fuel pump that was completed in 2022 and is now listed as closed. Despite the recall repair, the same failure occurred again. This demonstrates that the recall remedy did not correct the defect. The sudden engine shutdown without warning presents a serious safety hazard, especially at night and with passengers in the vehicle. Its been at the dealer ship for a month.

The uconnect radio is not functioning correctly at 55000 miles it refreshes and restarts intermittently and the rear camera is not operating properly after switching to drive from reverse. The image remains in the screen for an extended period of time causing a view of the rear of the vehicle as it is driving forward. This gives a skewed perception of what is going on around the vehicle. It’s is distracting and confusing until the rear view camera returns to the “drive” condition of the vehicles transmission and removes the view of the rear of the vehicle from the radio.

The ipc intermittently goes blank and I lose driver information like remaining fuel and speed limit and other safety information. The ipc also turns green and gets distortion.

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.

The steering and front suspension system malfunctioned. The vehicle experiences a severe “death wobble,” violent and uncontrolled shaking/oscillation of the steering wheel and front end after hitting bumps or uneven pavement, especially at higher speeds. The suspected affected components may include the steering linkage, track bar, steering damper/stabilizer, ball joints, tie rods, control arms, bushings, alignment/caster, or other front suspension/steering components. The defect causes violent steering wheel and front-end shaking while driving, creating a loss of stable steering control. When the wobble occurs, the vehicle becomes difficult to control and I have to slow down significantly to regain control. This creates a serious risk of a crash, especially at highway speeds, in traffic, on curves, or if another driver is nearby. The first time it happened I was on the highway near two tractor trailers who recognized the issue and slow down for me too. The condition puts me, my passengers, other motorists, pedestrians, and anyone near the roadway at risk because the vehicle can suddenly become unstable after normal road bumps or pavement irregularities. The problem has been brought to an local mechanic 3 times for repair or diagnosis, but the issue has not been resolved. The vehicle continues to experience the same severe steering/front-end wobble after those repair attempts. As of this complaint, the issue has not yet been formally diagnosed or resolved by an authorized Jeep dealer. I am filing this complaint because the condition remains unresolved and I believe it is a serious safety defect. The vehicle has been inspected and repaired by an local mechanic on 3 occasions related to this issue. The healy dealership fixed the last recall right before this. I called them on the way home from the dealership when it first happened. There were no warning lamps or dashboard message before the wobble occurred. Became more aggressive in Jan 2026.
