Other Fuel System Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

We were exploring some remote mountain roads on Saturday 11/23/2024. The Jeep was running fine and nothing abnormal was observed. We stopped for lunch at an area with a nice view. We made sandwiches and took our time eating. After packing up, we jumped back into the Jeep to continue our journey. I started the Jeep and we immediately smelled fuel. I turned the Jeep off to investigate and found a large amount of fuel on the ground under the rear area of the engine. I had my wife start the Jeep again briefly to see where the gas was coming from. As soon as she started it, an alarming volume of fuel began to spray all over the exhaust and turbo. The high pressure fuel line from the gas tank to the high pressure fuel pump on the rear of the motor had ruptured and was dangerously spraying an enormous amount of fuel all over the rear driver side area of the engine bay. We were lucky in that we had stopped for lunch and the exhaust had cooled down and did not ignite the gas. We were unlucky because we were stranded in the backcountry with a vehicle that was inoperable. Fortunately, we were able to get the Jeep off of the mountain and back onto the trailer 5 hours after the incident and before dark. Had the timing of the failed fuel line been different, I could have been driving down the road or highway with a hot exhaust and the Jeep would have ignited and caught fire very quickly. What is even scarier to me is that I take my two toddlers to day care every day in this Jeep. Had a vehicle fire ignited with the amount of fuel that was spraying (and would have continued to spray if the Jeep was left on) would have engulfed the Jeep very quickly. Who knows if I would have been able to get both kids out of their car seats in time to save them. This is very dangerous! I know there have been many Jeep jls that have caught fire. I have an example of the failure that is likely causing these fires! the part is available for inspection.

The fuel filler neck has an issue. When I refuel, I have to stop the pump manually or the filler cap will overflow. This creates a significant risk for fire or explosion unless I very carefully monitor how much fuel I am putting in the vehicle. I see several other owners experiencing this issue from online information I'm reading. I feel that this is an issue which should be repaired by the manufacturer.

My 4e is currently under recall for a battery/fire issue so have been relying on gas to fill the vehicle. Recently, after pumping gas for 10-15 seconds it shuts itself off at the pump and often gas spills out from the fuel neck. Jeep has had this problem on many of their vehicles for years and it is not covered warranty. There needs to be a safety recall. Its horrible I cant charge the vehicle and now I cant put gas in it either.

I was driving on the 15 freeway in san diego going 75 mph and I received a number of alerts and flashing and audible sounds. When I looked at the dash it had an alert that said performance unstable pull over place vehicle in park. I immediately lost power to the accelerator and the car started to slow so I pulled over on the shoulder. Luckily, I was in the right hand side lane in the carpool section, and there was a shoulder. If there had been no shoulder, I would’ve been stuck in traffic in the lane. The car would not restart and I had to have it towed from the 15 freeway.

Second time we have had an issue with the battery. Unable to plug it is because of an unresolved battery recall, this time for over a month. We purchased the vehicle specifically for the battery and now we have to buy fuel.

The manufacturer has not been able to remedy the batteries for electrical propulsion, saying "no remedy available ". Makes me hesitant to drive or park near other vehicles or structures. I have also complained to the dealership, where I purchased my Jeep, about a wobble/shake in the front-end when driving over bumps. After two attempts they have not been able to find a reason for or repair my vehicle. When driving in rain, this condition makes control a dangerous issue in heavy traffic. The most recent occurance was on [xxx] where the posted speed limit is 80mp, accompanied by heavy 18 wheeler traffic! I have also experienced the wobble/shake when traveling [xxx] from texas to louisiana, in the rain, surrounded by heavy automobile & 18 wheel traffic once again. This is a very stressful and uncomfortable situation to be in. I have experienced the wobble/shake soon after the purchase of my Jeep, still exists after several mechanical inspections at the dealership where purchased. I have also written a letter to the manufacturer, dated August 22, 2024, for these issues & the devaluation that exists with this particular model, to date I have not received a response! there is no excuse for the inability to repair or respond to my concerns! I have a copy of my letter to customer care for stellantis & recall & repair documents; I am unable to upload at this time.

My fuel line keeps breaking and when this occurs my car reeks of gas. This is an expensive fix I’ve already done 3 times.

Driving in hybrid mode at approximately 50 mph in moderate traffic. Experienced sudden loss of power and decelerated immediately to <5 mph nearly resulting in rear end collision from following truck. Navigated traffic at <5 mph and pulled into parking lot. Warning lights included -service charging system -check engine -battery warning -plug status fault -torque limited warning shut down vehicle and towed to suburban Jeep ann arbor. This is the fourth occurrance in approximately 4 months/4,000 miles.

The safety of this vehicle is a ticking time bomb. We are instructed not to park in or near a structure, near other vehicles, or charge it. Even if I don’t not charge it how am I supposed to park at my own home? how am I supposed to park at work? you are putting several lives at risk not to mention others vehicles, houses, businesses. I do search and rescue and have my k9 with me pretty much at all times. I am told it can ignite at anytime but it’s ok to leave my dog in? where is the safety and concern over my highly trained k9 let alone family pet. I will never feel safe with this car again. I asked if they even replaced the battery if they could tell me it wouldn’t happen with the new battery and I could park back in my garage and they said no they couldn’t say it wouldn’t happen again.

Recall 95b. I have been given the runaround for months on the status of this recall from the fca recall center and Jeep. I purchased a hybrid Jeep 4xe with the main purpose of being able to run both electric and gas. However, Jeep is telling me not to charge the vehicle, do not park it in the garage, and to make sure that it’s not parked near any structures because of explosion/fire hazard! this is completely unacceptable to not have a resolution for such a major concern in a timely manner.

While driving down the highway at speed, vehicle lost power and the a check engine light. I had to immediately exit the highway, shift to park, and shut down the vehicle. Once restarted, vehicle operated normally, but with the check engine light on. Computer scan shows code u0293 "lost communication with power train control module".

Dealership diagnosed leaking fuel line to engine - exact same issue as y10 recall, but my VIN is not covered. I would like my VIN included in the recall.

This recall has no resolution which is absolutely unacceptable. There is a fire risk for my primary vehicle, and I am unable to charge it - the entire reason I purchased this vehicle at a premium.

Will pull out into intersection and Jeep Wrangler 4xe will loss motive power leaving vehicle incoming traffic. I have been waiting for new battery for two months but the dealer said it was safe to drive. It is a dealership for loss of motive power.

The vehicle has been under recall since September 2024. They have been unable to repair it. I requested a refund or replacement since it has been nearly a year now without repair. The company offered me $9,000 and $9,000 to the lawyer I had contact them. This is not acceptable since they cannot repair the vehicle they need to refund my money or give me a new car.

Fuel supply connect locking device failure. Attempted to start vehicle and fuel leaked beneath mid section of vehicle about a gallon. Engine was cold as well as exhaust and caticlic converter. Safety hazard to occupants fire/explosion. Vehicle towed to oak harbor, washington dealership for repair. Safety retaining clips missing which allowed fuel lines to open and leakage.

Vehicle lost power and shut down on the highway while driving in esave mode.

22’ Jeep 4xe loss of motive power vehicle wouldn’t start for approximately 15 minutes. Showed charging system error and a battery light was on. Once vehicle started it was driven 5 minutes, parked and turned off. Within 30 minutes it was started again, and driven down the street when it lost power and indicated the speed was limited. I attempted to turn around to get back and park it when it quit in the middle of an intersection. Vehicle had a message to put it in park. I did. It wouldn’t restart or go into neutral to even push it out of the road. After about 10 minutes it started and I drove it back. It kept losing throttle and rolled opposite direction down a hill while in gear and still running. The throttle intermittently would work and rev then move forward. I backed it uphill into my driveway with it continued to roll forward and then rev the engine and reverse. When it losses power to the pedal it doesn’t rev the engine and will roll. Instrument panel and lights/entertainment still work when it does this. Mine and my children’s safety were put at risk. We called the dealer where we purchased from ‘orangeville Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram - 207163 highway 9 east, orangeville on l9w 2z7’ was told to bring it in. I said it was extremely dangerous and unsafe to drive. I asked for them to have it towed in and they refuse to pay for the towing. We mentioned a query into safety recall 22v-865 by odi we found but they stated it was unknown to them and VIN didn’t show an open recall. We are without a vehicle as it sits in the driveway presently. (incident may be related) in Nov 2023, about 9 months prior to this my [xxx] daughter was driving with my 9 and 11 y/o in the back seats and went into a ditch, damaging the front passenger fender, front bumper and hood. She mentioned something happened to the car and she lost control. There was no police report for this. There were engine lights on. We called a tow to get it out. The engine light went away on it own. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of infor.

Strong gas smells inside and outside if the vehicle.

The car is having electrical issues that the dealer service is unable to diagnose. They have since ordered a part but they are not certain that this will fix the problem. The car has been in service 3 times. Twice for an uncontrollable shaking that comes from no where, this has fixed the problem temporarily, however it continues. If I hit highway speeds the car shakes making it difficult to drive. The electrical issue for lack of a better word causes the car to stop as there is no acceleration at this point, making it difficult and extremely dangerous to drive. I drive an hour and half to work with fear. I don't want to cause an accident nor do I want anyone else getting hurt. The car has had issues since we first bought it. But thought ok, they are trying to fix the issues so have said nothing until now. Now the electrical system fails causing the care to be undrivable. We had to already have it towed to the dealer. Paid for the diagnostic issue which resulted in nothing and paid for a rental car.

Vehicle has a recall on it for the high pressure fuel pump. I have been told by the dealership this part is on back order and can take 12 months before they can fix the high pressure fuel pump. I called a second dealer ship and they also told me it could take 3-12 months before they could fix it due to limited supply of the part. Dmv will not give me my car tags until this recall is remedied.

Service charging system light came on, and the Jeep made a metallic rattle under the hood, and I went to a dealership who said they don’t know much about them and could do anything went to two other dealerships who did not have technicians in that day to see it with a Ford dealership who said that they didn’t have time and they would get to it due to four weeks I have 150 I’ve got two other dealerships because I didn’t buy it there. No one will help me today and I can’t get anyone at the dealership. I bought it at to call me back and I don’t know what to.

Now on Sunday August 11th at 6:08pm driving home from store with no charge on Jeep at all, not in hybrid only gas, the Jeep died in the middle of the road, it abruptly stopped with no warning, my body jerked forward and when I pushed down gas pedal there was nothing. There was no type of warning before this happened, no light warning on dash, no beeping no warning. Thankfully the car behind me went around me and thankfully there was enough distance between us. I was on a back road thankfully right near an entrance of a park. After putting it into park is when it started binging at me and beeping and warning lights, service charging system light came on, check engine light. I tried turning it off and back on which I had power like my radio and lights on dash the whole time. I could not get car to go into neutral, I even turned off got out closed door and then tried again. Thankfully I was close to home called my husband who came, and he could not get into neutral and had to find the loop that put Jeep in neutral manually and he towed me to a safer place. He then unhooked the negative battery terminal for 15min to see if that would at least reboot system which it did but drive home it was like a windup toy car very bucking. I did charge and took to dealership Monday it did buck once an. All of this was about an hour. Jeep is at dealership still. I do have pictures and video also.

Attempted to pull onto highway and lost propulsion. Dash lights lit up. The vehicle was powered off and upon starting it back up it multiple times it displayed the “service charging system” error. I was ability to limp home with limited propulsion and had the vehicle towed to the dealer on 8/8/2024. Dealer was great to work with and stated that the vehicle needed a new hv battery. The processing time for the part was 10-14 days after approval from stellantis engineering. 8/29 still no vehicle, but was told that the part would arrive this week. 33k miles 2021 Wrangler sahara 4xe.

My vehicle caught fire while parked in my driveway and burned to the ground resulting in a totaled vehicle, damaged garage, and damaged concrete and driveway.

I would like to express a concern with how Jeep is handing the issue with the hybrid batteries in the Wrangler 4xe. I'm connected with the 4xe across the us and canada and I am seeing issues with how they are addressing the potential for fires in the batteries. In my case, my Jeep was initially part of the b9a recall but was removed from the list. I was on the 04b recall list and had that update performed. A few months later, my battery triggered the p0bbd code that indicated that I needed a new battery. We have seen this trend in the 4xe community where someone who wasn't on the b9a list ended up having a battery issue. Some of these instances include Jeeps that were on the 04b list but had yet to receive that update because Jeep communicated that it was a "defrost" recall without telling customers that they were receiving the same updates that were included in the b9a. So some people are putting off a very important recall because they believe it is just a defrost recall. After I had my battery replaced, the latest 95b recall was issued. My Jeep is on this recall list even though I just had a new battery installed. It would sure seem like the issue with the separators in the battery would have already been known when my new battery was installed. To me, that is an unsafe mishandling of the situation to put a known faulty battery in during a replacement. I do not feel that Jeep is handing these battery issues well and I believe they need some sort of accountability in place to make sure they are truly resolving the issue and not putting band aids on a major issue. We have tracked some data in the 4xe community and are aware that way more batteries were impacted than Jeep announced would be. As well, many batteries have had to be replaced after the recall. This tell me that either Jeep isn't being very forthcoming with the data or they just don't know the correct method for addressing this matter. We need something done before someone gets hurt or killed.

I was leaving my home on July 25th. Suddenly when turning onto the freeway approach. The car battery light turned on. Then suddenly a red turtle came on dropping my speed instantly from 35 to 5 mph. I was able to barely avoid an accident by throwing the steering wheel to the right moving out of traffic. Had this been about 1000 feet further along, things could have been dangerous. I had the car towed to the dealership. . . . Where they informed me this is the hybrid battery. . . . An issue that I have had now 4 times with this vehicle and was supposed to be fixed. It has been in the shop for over 2 weeks.

Vehicle just turned off, lost power while driving. A "check charging system" message showed up on the dashboard. I was able to restart the vehicle with no further errors.

Driving along with traffic, in the middle lane of a 5 lane highway, a red turtle light suddenly appeared on my dash and my car instantly starting losing speed and acceleration at a very quick rate. On the middle of the dash my screen read "push break and push button to start" (which it usually says when I get into my car to start it, but my car was still on and running). I quickly put my hazards on and was able to safely, with very little time, pull off the road to the shoulder as fast as I could. I put my car in park and then turned it off after examining the dash to see if any other lights were on. Nothing new had appeared and the turtle light was gone. I started my car up again, went to put it in drive, but I could not get the vehicle out of park. My shifter would not budge. Several attempts turning the vehicle off and back on and still could not get the vehicle out of park. All the usual lights turned on, the radio was on and working as usual. At this time, I did notice that the engine light on the dash was now lit up, along with a red battery light. A tow truck was called to come and tow the vehicle to the car dealer I leased it from. This is the first time this has ever happened to me in any vehicle, especially this new one. I just got this brand new '24 Jeep Wrangler 4xe in may 2024.

The fuel supply line leading from the gas tank, along the passenger side of the transmission, and over the top of the transmission bell housing has failed and is leaking gas onto the transmission and then onto the ground. This is a dangerous fire hazard and placed my safety at risk. I have not yet taken the vehicle to a repair facility as I live over 30 minutes away from the nearest dealership. I am the only person that has inspected the vehicle and observed the leak using a remote camera as of the filing of this complaint on 7-18-24 at 1:30 pm. There were no warning lamps or messages associated with this part failure. I could smell a strong odor of gasoline fumes from within the vehicle which prompted me to inspect what the source was. As I understand, a previous recall for this part failure was issued in 2021, but did not include my VIN.

While driving the vehicle shut off and displayed a warning to check battery charging system. I had to deploy emergency flashers and coast into a gas station parking lot. After parking and I was able to restart vehicle after a couple attempts and it ran normally. It has not happened since but very concerning as I was in a 50 mph area when vehicle shut off and was luckily able to safely find a pull off area. I stopped by the local dealer to report the issue but they saw no outstanding recalls or service bulletins so nothing was done.

- vehicle engine shut down & lost all power to engine at major intersection - in turning lane at rush hour could not move car- others slammed brakes -resulted in angry drivers & no ability to move car 3 lanes either direction. - problem reconfirmed by Chrysler -Jeep dealership - inspected by Chrysler mechanics to confirm loose connection that caused fuse to blow & burnt (tipm) circuit board allowing no power to throttle. -no warnings at all at a center intersection when entire car shut down. 2nd occurrence after a fuse repair resulted in vehicle throttle shut down again no warning & this time on a 2 lane highway at 50+ mile speed which could have been on 6 lane hwy. At 70+ mile hours speeds which could have resulted in a deadly accident involving numerous drivers! this (tipm) part has a major recall for many chryslers models. It does not show for our VIN but we have experienced the exact issues as described for this specific recall. Costs include tow fees, repair quote at over $1700. 00, time in shop without a car all significant. Concern: will it happen again ? request recall reimbursement that should qualify for our vehicle as well !!.

Jeep just shut down while heading down interstate 81 about 70 mph in far 3fd left lane not much time to exit the highway had to sit on the left side of the highway and put in park and restart it did start up after the complete shutdown.

July 2024 – driving over 40 mph the rubicon on a busy two-lane highway with my [xxx] and lost all acceleration. Interior warning lights started flashing with the warning, “service electric throttle control. ” as this was up hill, there I nearly started going backwards and two vehicles swerved around me as I was able to pull over. As cars honked that drove by, I turned the vehicle off which was at this point, making a rattling/wobbling noise. I turned the vehicle back on and off at least three times, with hybrid vehicle working. As I was two miles from home, I was able to get back with the vehicle dropping acceleration (with no horsepower and no ability to go on gas mode) twice until I rolled back in basically neutral. We called usaa to have the vehicle immediately towed to Jeep rairdon in kirkland, wa. Jeep rairdon said they would do an inspection three days later where they will assess if we can get a loaner. It’s sitting in their service lot with no info. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
