Equipment Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

My wife and I were driving to the dealer to have a safety recall service performed on her Jeep Wrangler 4xe. We had just merged onto the highway, I was in my car, behind my wife in her Jeep. Less than a mile onto the highway, my wife suddenly slowed down and moved to the right lane. As she moved over to the right lane, I saw her front tire violently wobbling back and forth. We slowed down to 30mph on the highway and after approximately 30 seconds the problem seemed to resolve. We limped our way to the exit (about another mile) and to the dealer about 1/4 mile off the highway. When my wife got out of the car she was still shaking, rattled by what had just happened. When we described what happened to the service center they responded "OH, you had the death wobble. " after some research, I watched several videos about the death wobble, which confirmed what I had just seen. What if my wife had panicked and pulled over into another car in the right lane? what if she was on a small 2 lane highway and veered off the road and down an embankment? there were no warning lights or messages on the vehicle indicating any problem prior to this happening. This happened with zero warning and was terrifying to watch, let alone my poor wife experiencing first hand. The Jeep dealership has run diagnostics and report it is a bad steering damper. More than 3 weeks later the car remains at the dealership, awaiting repair of not only that, but also the safety recall fix for the hybrid battery. Communication from the dealership has been vague and suspicious in my opinion. They repeatedly have said they are waiting to hear from Jeep on what to do next. My research indicates a previous class action suit relating to this "death wobble" issue on previous models. How does something this dangerous still happen on a 2023 model car with 19000 miles in 2025. I'm shocked at how casually the dealer and manufacturer have addressed this issue.

Ev battery recall without resolution. After receiving the recall notice and scheduling service at the dealership, the Jeep was kept for 6 weeks and they replaced both the ev battery and the starting 12v battery. After driving the vehicle for less than a week, the ev battery started making gurgling and bubbling sounds after starting and continued for about 30 sec - 1 minute after turning off power. No message or warning lights have indicated any type of issue. The dealership said the car is not safe to drive and asked me to have it towed to the shop. I have had to pay almost $3,000 out of pocket for a rental because I use my car for work. My reimbursement is still processing and my vehicle is back in the shop. This was the 4th attempt to upgrade the software and the first time replacing the battery to my knowledge.

The recall notice states that the hv battery may become damaged during normal vehicle operation, leading to internal short circuit, overheating, and potential vehicle fire – even when parked or not charging. This poses a serious life-threatening risk to occupants, family members, and bystanders. Current interim remedy is insufficient: owners advised to refrain from recharging and park away from structures/other vehicles. Permanent remedy (battery replacement) is still under development as of December 2025. Vehicle is effectively unusable for normal family use (cannot park in garage, constant fire fear). I operate in e-save mode only (no charging), but risk remains per manufacturer notice. Family details: wife and two children – safety severely impacted. I request NHTSA escalate investigation into this defect. Pressure stellantis/fca us llc for immediate permanent remedy by way of lease termination. Consider expanding recall scope if needed.

The dealership refuses to perform the 68c recall for my 4xe Wrangler, [xxx] they said they are worried that there will be a glitch with the recall and they will have to hold on to my Jeep for 3-4 weeks until a battery replacement is available. They don’t want to do this because there are already 3 cars in the dealership awaiting the same battery replacement. Given the seriousness of the recall (battery fires), this seems like an unsafe response to the recall. They mentioned they’ve been turning multiple cars away with this recall and that they have other recalls for other models to also worry about.

The high-voltage battery system on my Jeep Wrangler 4xe malfunctioned and is subject to recall 25v-741 (68c). The vehicle has been under safety recall for battery fire risk for months, with instructions to park outside and avoid charging due to fire hazard. On December 29, the recall remedy failed and the vehicle was rendered completely undrivable (“bricked”) at the dealership. I was informed that hybrid battery components/repair parts are not available and there is currently no way to return the vehicle to a safe, operable condition. The vehicle cannot be moved or driven and remains stored outside. This defect creates a direct safety risk to me and others. I am unable to charge or operate the vehicle normally, and I have been advised by the dealer that the recall repair cannot be performed because there are no available batteries or parts. This leaves me without transportation and continues the safety risk identified by NHTSA, with no practical remedy or timeline. The problem has been confirmed by a Jeep dealer, and I have written documentation showing the vehicle is non-drivable due to the recall condition. I have also attempted resolution with stellantis/Chrysler capital without success. I request NHTSA investigate the lack of remedy availability and failures related to recall 25v-741/68c for affected owners whose vehicles are now immobilized.

Two months ago the vehicle decided to not work at all. Couldn’t turn it on couldn’t move it. Had to have it towed where they kept it for 3 weeks and said it was main battery and replaced it. Fast forward to yesterday 12/29 and the engine light came on again. Waiting for dealership to contact when they’ll have loaner vehicle. But this is the second time in 2 months the engine light has come on. We bought the vehicle in September a month later in the shop. Now again going back to the shop. This vehicle has under 30k miles and I’m not a a very happy customer right now.

The abs module needs to be replaced and the part isn't being made anymore.

Car has been at the dealer to be fixed since Dec 21st 2025 with no repair estimate in site. No loaner car given, no communication from the dealer, Jeep corporate said the repair was completed but car is still there with no communication to us. When we call no one answers the phone.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a safety concern with my Jeep following the completion of recall 68c. Since the recall service was performed, the vehicle has experienced significant issues when operating in hybrid mode. While driving in hybrid mode, the vehicle repeatedly switches back and forth between hybrid and electric operation. When the vehicle enters electric mode, the rpms will suddenly spike and the vehicle will call for the gasoline engine. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the vehicle is unable to maintain electric power and immediately switches into gasoline mode. This behavior results in constant drivetrain shifting and erratic engine speed changes. The rpms frequently jump from 0 rpm (electric operation) to approximately 3,000 rpm when the gasoline engine abruptly engages. The repeated transitions between electric and gasoline power create noticeable hesitation, jerking, and inconsistent acceleration. This issue began only after the recall 68c service was completed and was not present beforehand. The repeated switching between propulsion modes appears abnormal and may pose a safety concern, particularly during acceleration or when merging into traffic where predictable vehicle response is critical. I am submitting this report so that this issue can be documented and investigated to determine whether the recall repair may have introduced or failed to correct a problem within the hybrid drivetrain system. 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe unlimited.

I own a 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe with ongoing warranty-covered hybrid system defects, including a hybrid coolant valve failure that could cause the vehicle to shut down while driving, creating a serious safety risk. The vehicle is also subject to an active high-voltage battery fire-risk recall, further affecting safety and reliability. The vehicle has been in the shop since Wednesday and Jeep has not provided a loaner or direct rental vehicle, leaving my family without transportation. Due to the combination of safety risks and loss of use, I am requesting: •immediate manufacturer action to repair the defects •direct rental coverage while the vehicle is in the shop •escalation of my formal buyback request for executive review I am submitting this complaint to ensure that these safety and warranty-related issues are addressed promptly.

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

Basically stated, death wobble, after looking up symptoms. At 65 mph on the highway, hit a bump and the entire Jeep shook uncontrollably. I just purchased it used not 10 minutes prior to the incident. The dealership failed to mention this and sold it as-is.

The dashboard screen just went blank. It doesn’t display any information at all.

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

I was pulling into a parking spot outside of a costco and suddenly the car began to accelerate uncontrollably, and I couldn't stop the car. It ended up hitting the car in front of me, pushing it out of the spot and then hit the car next to us. Fortunately, there was no one in any of the cars hit but the entire experience was completely terrifying, and someone could have been seriously injured. The police were called and there was a police report filed. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer or insurance company since it just occurred yesterday and the police said that the report wouldn't be ready for 3-5 business days. We also contacted the dealership where we purchased the vehicle, and they advised us to contact Jeep's customer service.

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

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

The automatic emergency breaking sensor has not been working ive taken it to the dealer twice. The dealer keeps saying the sensor is on back order and they have no time line or update on when the part will be available. Also I called regarding the hv battery recall and there is no solution to the recall.

The fenders front fenders become loss due to faulty plastic clips and flights off while driving once the wind catches under them. Very dangerous to other cars. Also the windshields crack around once a year and you have to really be-careful to stay back from any auto that might throw a rock, but you can’t avoid someone passing you.

I have several issues. 1. An independent auto shop noticed all 4 of my shocks were leaking when they did an oils change and tire rotation recently. I have had my other oil changes and rotations at the dealership prior to this and they never mentioned it. I’ve tried calling my dealership svc dept. About it 4 times now with no call backs. 2. The new tires that came with my Jeep from the factory only lasted about half their treadwear. I had to replace prematurely at 30,000 miles bc they were causing a “deathwobble” on my Jeep at speeds of 60-70mph and they were also messing with my alignment which I paid the dealer to try to fix but they’ll couldn’t bc it turns out it was the tires the whole time but they’ll couldn’t bc couldn’t figure this out. The independent tire shop figured it out. 3. This is the most worrisome they just sent me another recall about the high voltage battery pack being dangerous and poasibly catching fire. It says not to charge it or park it near structures. This is the 2nd or 3rd recall of this sort and it’s not allowing me to use the electric features on my vehicle which I paid extra for when I bought it and I pay yearly for with insurance and taxes. . I need compensation or a vehicle exchange or a buyback so that I can use my vehicle as it is intended to be used. This is a clear violation of that. Please help me!.

The instrument cluster is is not working. I am unable to see how much gas is in the vehicle nor am I able to see any critical warnings for the vehicle.

I am reporting a safety-related electrical failure involving the heated steering wheel system in a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. While driving, the heated steering wheel malfunctioned and produced smoke from the steering wheel area. This created an immediate safety concern due to the presence of smoke and the potential for electrical overheating or fire in a critical driver control component. This was not an isolated incident. The same system required a prior repair under warranty in late 2023. Despite that repair, the failure recurred in late 2025 with more severe symptoms, including overheating and damage to electrical components. The vehicle was taken out of service for repair, and the total time out of service related to this issue was approximately 115 days due to parts delays and repair time. The problem was confirmed and repaired by authorized dealerships, including replacement of the steering wheel and related electrical components. There were no meaningful warning indicators prior to the failure. The issue occurred during normal operations. The repeated failure of the same system, combined with smoke and electrical malfunction in the steering wheel, raises concern about a potential defect that could pose a safety risk to drivers and passengers.

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

My battery recall was completed by my dealership (fca 68c) and then once I received my car back my mpg dramatically dropped from an average of 32 mpg combined to at best 28 mpg combined. The recall states that they will do a software update for the battery and that if it is not resolved then they will replace it. My concern is that now my mpg is so much lower, what software update was completed? did this reduce the capacity of my battery in order to prevent if from overheating/possibly igniting? is fca cutting corners in order to prevent having to replace the entire battery when they should be doing so? I also noticed that my car is not switching to electric motor when it should be. I drive the same route to work every day and my battery would get me to work and back, now it does not. Now, about two weeks after my recall was complete it is back in the shop due to an engine light illumination.

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

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

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

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

The bushing which attaches my shifter to the shifting cable keeps coming off/ breaking. 4 times in about 6-8 weeks. The first 3 times d n c auto repair in ash grove, mo fixed for me. Today im having my Jeep towed to corwin Dodge Jeep.

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

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

In the last twelve months, the vehicle has been serviced six times for ongoing issues related to the hybrid system, yet the problems persist. Despite multiple visits to the dealership, the defect remains unresolved. My 2023 Jeep Wrangler has an active hybrid battery recall (68c), which according to NHTSA is an extension of the earlier 95b recall involving risk of fire related to the hybrid battery. Recall 95b was marked “resolved” after my hybrid battery was replaced on 11/20/2025, yet I now have another recall for the same safety-related issue. This indicates that the original defect was not properly resolved and suggests ongoing hybrid system safety risks. The recall repair for 68c is still listed as “no parts available,” leaving me unable to have this safety defect corrected. During this period, the vehicle has stalled, lost power, and displayed repeated warning lights associated with hybrid system failure and recall-related issues. These events have occurred while driving and present a serious safety concern. I have opened a case with stellantis and have documentation of all service visits and all communication with the manufacturer. Stellantis denied my buyback request without providing written reasons and closed my case. They offered a small discount on a new vehicle that would require rolling over nearly $20,000 in negative equity, which does not resolve the underlying safety defect. They also offered two vague extended warranty options but refused to provide written details, and these do not correct the defect or address the safety risk. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle. I fear the possibility of injury due to the unresolved hybrid system defect, stalling incidents, and the ongoing fire-related recall with no available remedy. Stellantis has failed to correct the defect and has not provided an adequate or safe solution. Requesting assistance as this is an active safety issue involving repeated hybrid system failures and a recall with no remedy.

I was driving on a very busy road and the vehicle lost power. I consider that my life was in danger because of me the traffic piled up and other drivers were furious with me. No matter what I tried, the car simply would not stop. Aaa came and was unable to make the car start. It was towed to a dealership. Prior to this I already had two service visits related to the start stop warning light coming on in my dashboard. The first time, the service department claimed that they could not figure out what caused it, but they replaced the auxiliary battery that powers the start stop feature. Basically one day later, the start stop warning light came on again. I had to take it back to the dealership and they kept the vehicle for two days and I don't think anything was done. After the vehicle was returned to me, within days the warning light came on and then would go off and come back on sporadically. On the date of the complete power loss, the warning light came on in my dashboard about one hour before the power loss. So far, Jeep has said that they won't even be able to look at my vehicle for a week and it will probably take at least two weeks because they are short-staffed. I think I have a lemon.

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