Other Fuel System Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

Saturday morning, approx 10:00 am vehicle screen showed it was updated u-conn (not sure exactly) when update finished vehicle lost power while driving (*note 4xe hybrid electric Jeep in hybrid mode). Every light on instrument cluster lit up. I was able to coast to the side of the road and park. The display said to place vehicle in park and hit start. I was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle would drive for 3-5 minutes and then completely lose electrical power again. This is very scary to happen while driving, losing power steering, power brakes and being a sitting duck in traffic! when we looked on line, it appears this is an issue with 4xe electric Jeeps and many, many people have had the same issue. We were very lucky to have not had a major collision. Jeep needs to be accountable for this safety issue, how many people were not as lucky to avoid a collision. Completely unacceptable.

Updated my Jeep (per the prompt) on 10/11. Subsequently lost power steering and power while driving. Had to turn off the car and restart it. Not safe to drive and unpredictable.

Jeep pushed an ota software upgrade on 10/10/2025. The following morning 10/11/2025, while operating the vehicle. The vehicle lost all propulsion and power steering. Check engine light came on and a message “shift to p to start” message appeared on the console. Additionally, the traction control system, collision avoidance alarms appeared on the console. Fortunately I was able to navigate the vehicle to the shoulder of the road without getting hit. However, I fear had my newly permitted teenage driver been operating the vehicle the outcome would have been much worse.

Pulled vehicle out of the garage. Stopped with foot on the brake. Let off the brake to drive and the check engine light came on along with a red light on the gauge cluster with a red wrench. Warning came on the screen saying put vehicle in park and press the start stop button. Vehicle turned back on and the screen said no hybrid power available. Drove down my driveway and complete loss of power. Screen again said put vehicle back in park and press start stop button. Again the vehicle started and I returned to my driveway and parked the vehicle. Check engine light remained on when vehicle was on.

The vehicle did an over-the-air update to the vehicles software, u connect. The vehicle has since suffered two losses of propulsion while driving, with check engine light indicator illumination and a p1e1d code. This has been reported by numerous other 2024 4xe drivers.

Software update causes vehicle to completely loose power after two minutes or so of driving. Very serious problem and dangerous. Requires stopping vehicle immediately and rebooting. Happens again and again.

Complete loss of power and power steering. Repeated every 1. 5 minutes after restart.

After an update, the Jeep died completely in the middle of the road with a bunch of errors on the dash and would not restart. After about 10 minutes, it restarted but died again shortly after. A third try a while later and it ran in manual transmission mode to where we could get it home. Check engine light is on and vehicle is still acting odd.

While driving the vehicle, complete loss of power was experienced due to the recall. I had to pull over to the side of the road and was luckily in a safe space. However, had I been driving on main roads, I could have gotten into an accident. While this recall has been temporarily fixed at this moment, a permanent fix has not been done. Also, since my lease in March 2024, the vehicle has been in the shop several times due to the inability of the vehicle to be filled with gas. My vehicle will be almost completely out of gas, and I can still only put 12 gallons of gas in the car. My dealership had the car in their shop for over three weeks total (on 2-3 occasions), and no resolution was made. I’m still having issues filling up my car on the regular. And now, with the most recent recall, I will be filling my car up a lot more. This vehicle is a mess and they need to rectify the situation and issues immediately. With the winter months approaching and the possibility for snow, I am now at the disadvantage of having to park my car away from my house, not use the electric functionality and leaving it unprotected from the elements. This is unacceptable. I traded in my 2019 6 cyl gas powered Wrangler for the sole purpose of having the electric functionality, and now I’m stuck paying a much higher car payment for a vehicle I am unable to drive in electric format. And let’s not forget that it’s a safety hazard. I do not feel comfortable driving this vehicle and putting my family in it.

My car will abruptly lose all power will driving down the road and the dash directs you to put it in park and restart the vehicle. This requires coming to a complete stop in the middle of the roadway. This happened 10x in a 30 mile drive and at times at highway speeds. Forcing me to either stop in the middle of the freeway or hope I can get to the side of the road to pull off. This is extremely dangerous and from my early research this is happening to all 4xe Wranglers after a failed update last night. Jeep is advising people to drive the car in gas mode (which it does not have) but all 3 hybrid modes have the same result. Someone is going to be seriously injured or killed because of this issue. Nobody should be driving these vehicles like this and I dont know what my 18 year old daughter would have done if she was driving on the highway. This emergency needs immediate attention not the response from Jeep that they will “look into it Monday”.

I was driving from new york to DC when my car “bricked” on [xxx] my car advised me to go into park mode and began slowing down to a stop (I had no control over it) and luckily I was able pull over onto the shoulder to where I felt very unsafe and waited to restart my car. I was able to restart and try again and it bricked again about 10 minutes later. I was terrified and had a panic attack before being able to safely merge across lanes into a rest stop. I figured that if I switched into gas mode because it appeared to be an electrical problem that I might be able to continue my drive I started driving and not five minutes later I was stalled on a bridge. It was the scariest experience I’ve had probably ever in my life I had to completely shut down my car and restart it just to inch my way onto a shoulder after getting across a bridge with other cars going over 60 70 mph. Eventually I was able to disconnect the battery and reconnect it just in order to make it safely to a dealership with my father, following behind me. Because the check engine light went off when the battery was reconnected, when I got there, the dealership told me the diagnostic test showed no concerns and said that I could take the car and continue my drive. Then 15 minutes after continuing my drive it stalled again, again on the highway! so I made my way back to the dealership and in the 10 miles that it took to get to the dealership the car stalled over five more times every single time it stalled I risked someone running into the back end of my car. I was told to contact Chrysler for a customer care case and they were not helpful at all. I was given a loaner that I couldn’t take out of state so I couldn’t get back to new york in a timely fashion so I had to wait in DC an extra day just to get my car back. I still don’t feel safe in the vehicle because a little software glitched caused such a major issue. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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.

After accepting a prompted uconnect over-the-air (ota) software update, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe began experiencing complete loss of motive power while driving. The vehicle suddenly lost acceleration capability and had to be restarted multiple times. I took the vehicle to mcpeek’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram in anaheim, CA, where technicians confirmed that multiple Wrangler 4xe vehicles had arrived the same day with the same failure following the same uconnect update. The dealership performed a rollback to the previous software version, but the issue was not resolved. During the post-rollback road test, the technician confirmed that engine and propulsion issues persisted, and my service advisor advised that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. As a result, the Jeep was not released back to me and remains at the dealership pending further direction from stellantis engineering. Diagnostic codes reported by other affected owners and visible in forums include u0293-00 (lost communication with hybrid control module), u0010-00 (can bus communication failure), and p1e1d-00 (hybrid control processor fault), which appear consistent with a communication breakdown between the uconnect and hybrid powertrain systems. Jeep customer care has opened case #[xxx] for this incident and is coordinating with the dealer. This appears to be a safety-related defect, as the vehicle can unexpectedly lose power while in motion. Dealer: mcpeek’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 1221 s auto center dr, anaheim, CA 92806 (714) 635-2340.

Vehicle lost power transfer while in drive and dash instructed to press brake to shift into park. Check engine light came on. Dash said something about fuel transfer issue. Happened 5 times in . 25 mile. Had to turn car off and restart to drive and it happened again. This all happened after a uconnect update.

I installed an update last night and today the vehicle just shuts off on it own. Looks like Jeep stellantis pushed an updated that they clearly did no testing on. P1e1d-00 is the code when I scan. I can no longer drive my Jeep.

After Jeep released an ota update on Friday, I started my vehicle on Saturday and started to drive and in about 2-3 minutes all lights on dash started flashing and lost all power to vehicle and was luck enough to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle message said place car in park. Had to turn vehicle off then could shift into park. Then restarted now cel is on but vehicle started and again 2 min later same problem no power had to coast to side of road, shut vehicle down and restart. This happen a several times one time I also lost power steering. I was just lucky enough to be on side roads and not the highway. The vehicle totally loses all propulsion and you have zero power to the vehicle and also lost power steering.

Performed uconnext update last night and this morning car completely lost power on the highway. Power steering also did not work and unable to provide gas to car to accelerate. Dead stopped on highway. Dealership then tells me it is “safe to drive but will continue stalling out”.

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.

After traveling a short distance, the vehicle will shut down, lose all power and require you to restart. At which time the process repeats, short distance of travel with sudden loss off all vehicle functions. There is some indication that this is due to a software issue pushed in an ota update.

2024 hybrid. Vehicle shuts down while driving. Driver had to pull over to shut vehicle down and then restart it. Very dangerous situation.

Updated vehicle last night via u-connect, vehicle died today while driving, lost all power. Check engine light on, hundreds of posts via social media with the same problem.

Immediately after installing a system update, car shut off/stalled while driving. Attempts to restart and continue driving only resulted in minimal forward progress. Very scary and very dangerous situation to have car just stop functioning while driving.

On October 11, 2025, while traveling approximately 50 mph, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe suddenly and without warning lost motive power. The vehicle rapidly decelerated to around 10 mph. Thankfully, no vehicle was immediately behind me; had there been, a rear-end crash likely would have occurred. I was able to pull to the shoulder and had to completely shut down and restart the vehicle to temporarily restore power. I drove the vehicle directly to the authorized Jeep dealership after the incident, and it has remained there since that date. A recall related to this exact failure was issued afterward. My VIN is confirmed as included, and NHTSA status currently shows “recall incomplete — remedy not yet available. ” despite the safety failure already occurring and no remedy existing, Jeep customer care closed my case prematurely. I do not feel safe operating this vehicle until a repair is defined and completed. I am reporting this because the hazard remains unresolved, and owner support and protection feel inadequate. This defect occurred before the recall announcement and represents a confirmed loss-of-power safety event that could have resulted in a serious crash.

Car lost power as I was driving with an errors and just stopped working. As I was trying to get home this happened twice. I had to pull over and follow the prompts on screen. Seems like there was a bad update that has cause all 2024 Wrangler 4xe’s to do this. This is a huge problem really dangerous and inconvenient. This Jeep is my only vehicle. I need a vehicle to drive. I called the dealership and they have no idea how to help me or fix this issue.

Over-the-air firmware update that caused an in-motion shutdown while driving. Various dash lights came on, shift to park indicator flashed, loss power, steering wheel stiffened up to the point it wouldn't move. There were no warnings before it went haywire. My family's safety was at risk as we were driving and it put us in danger and had to carefully get to the side of the road. We had it towed to Jeep where they say they fixed it but we have no trust to drive it now. The service advisor at the Jeep dealerships said "it looks like someone at Jeep pushed the big red button and sent out an update that wasn't ready yet" which is a huge concern for all Jeep owners.

While driving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN: 1c4rjxp6xrw168620), the vehicle suddenly lost all motive power without warning. The accelerator pedal became completely unresponsive, the “d” indicator on the gear selector began blinking, and the vehicle coasted to a stop in traffic. It would not restart for several minutes. This has occurred multiple times since purchase. The most concerning incident happened earlier this year while driving on a freeway with my wife and two young children, the vehicle abruptly shut down in active lanes of traffic, forcing us to coast to the shoulder while cars passed at highway speed. On October 10, 2025, the same failure occurred four times within a ten-minute drive home. Each time, the Wrangler became undriveable and required several minutes before it would restart. The vehicle is currently at simi valley Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram for inspection (service order #6119655). The service advisor stated that multiple Wrangler 4xe vehicles were brought in for the same issue that morning. They also stated that the Wrangler 4xe has faced this issue for years and were not surprised by my story. The defect appears related to the hybrid powertrain control system or high-voltage electrical components. The problem has been reproduced and reported to stellantis customer care as a serious safety concern. No warning lamps or messages appeared before the loss of power, only the blinking “d” indicator afterward. The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection upon request. This defect poses a severe risk of crash or injury due to sudden, total power loss while driving. Dealership confirmed multiple similar 4xe vehicles with the same stalling issue that day. This appears to be part of an ongoing pattern consistent with NHTSA investigation rq24012 for loss of motive power in Jeep Wrangler 4xe models.

While driving, Jeep stalled out/became unresponsive, d started flashing on gear shift panel and dashboard, check engine light came on and dashboard message said: "shift to p to start" "press brake & push button to start" while Jeep was already on and was driving. Very dangerous!! this happened 4x in 1 mile radius. Had to put in p, shut off and restart but kept happening. Luckily was able to maneuver/glide Jeep to parking lot but this sudden loss of power is extremely dangerous. I could’ve been rear-ended or worse each time it happened. Per Jeep forums this occurred after a uconnect update. Several Jeep owners are having the same issue with no word from Jeep. This update was done on a Friday evening (10/10/25) of holiday weekend. No one is available in service department until Tuesday (10/14/25). According to Jeepcares forum… it was a telematics box module update.

Loss of propulsion while driving. Vehicle went into neutral and forced to pull over and restart the engine. This is due to a bad software update that Jeep updated over the air just minutes earlier. This is being reported by hundreds of users on various forums on reddit and facebook.

Following a software update on 10/10/25, our vehicle can no longer be driven safely. Repeatedly loses power, power steering, etc. This issue is impacting thousands of Jeep owners nationwide. Please investigate and help resolve before people lose lives.

My car did an automatic uconnect update. I went to dinner, got back in my car an hour later and about 2minutes later while driving, my engine shut off and and the press break and push start came on. I had no power at all while making a turn through an intersection. I pulled over as much as I could, powered off the vehicle completely. Waited a minute and it started back up, but now the engine light was on. Was able to make it home (7miles) but was vey concerned about it shutting off again, at night while driving home. Dealer can’t get my vehicle in for a week!.

Software update sent to vehicle 10/10/2025. Allowed update as I was parked for afternoon. In the evening I attempted to drive for dinner. Vehicle suddenly lost propulsion, all warning lights came on, vehicle went to neutral, lost power steering, coasted to sudden stop and message stated shift to park and press start. Which I did. Same thing happened again in just a few feet in the middle of an intersection nearly causing an accident. Jeep is not answering their phones. Dealership is saying to have it towed. I want stellantis to take this vehicle back. Too many issues.

After a over the air update, the vehicle will unpredictability lose power. The dash will display a warning stating that the vehicle must be shifted into park to be restarted. Jeep has acknowledged this issue in forums with no resolution identified. I have only experienced it while trying to accelerate in front of traffic, on of which almost resulted in an accident due to failure to accelerate.

Over the air update on 10/10/25, disabled my Wrangler. Engine light is on, vehicle shuts down, turns off while driving, continuous error messages, unable to operate vehicle safely, it will not stay running while driving. Within 20 miles, it shut down six times while driving on the highway. As of this date and time, Jeep, mopar, stellantis have not offered any guidance, assistance or potential fixes.

Moments after installing a software update as instructed in my dashboard, my vehicle came to an immediate halt while driving on a busy freeway. The dashboard displayed instructions to shift the vehicle in park and restart the vehicle. I managed to move the vehicle onto the shoulder and completed these steps to regain control of the vehicle. I completed the rest of my commute on local roads, and this incident occurred two more times before I arrived home. This is not an isolated incident. Many users have reported similar incidents and accidents associated with the recent software update. I contacted Jeep to document this concern. However, they took no responsibility and offered no guidance to rectify the issue. This vehicle is only one year old and is now unsafe to drive.

Check engine light l, shift to park message with multiple warning lights occurrence after an ota update. Vehicle had limited throttle and went into limp mode while driving. Received diagnostic trouble codes p0a45 p1e1d u0594. Jeep said there was an update but codes still persist a week after the “fix”. The codes are not archived . The are listed confirmed .
