Power Train Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 1

The Jeep shakes uncontrollably when driving over 50 mph. A rapid braking and speed reduction to under 30 mph will stop the shaking but it will occur again and again. Stellantis has built a completely unsafe car. I can no longer drive the vehicle on the highway or with my kids in the car. I want this major safety issue repaired at the manufacturer's expense.

On [xxx] at about [xxx] pm, I was driving my 2018 Jeep Wrangler (manual transmission) southbound on [xxx] near the [xxx] in elkridge, MD at about 70 mph when the clutch failed suddenly. It felt like the transmission dropped out the bottom, I lost drive power, and I pulled onto the shoulder. A fire was burning on the roadway about 100 yards behind me, where the failure happened. I called 911 at 5:36 pm and ems responded. The clutch pressure plate fractured and cracked the transmission bell housing. The vehicle cannot be driven, and the dealer reports it shakes violently on startup. This is the exact failure described in open safety recall 19a (NHTSA 23v-116), which this form's VIN lookup still shows as unrepaired on this vehicle. Before the failure the clutch had been slipping badly, and I had waited about two months for the dealer to receive the recall parts. The repair appointment was then pushed back a week, and the failure happened before the recall work was done. The vehicle was towed to darcars Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram in rockville, MD. As of November 4 the dealer has not inspected it, has called it out of warranty, has asked for a paid diagnosis, and has provided no alternate transportation. Stellantis customer care case number 98535079. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I was driving on highway and the Jeep shutdown completely with zero warning and locked up. No lights came on, no warnings in the app, zero indications. I almost hit a car head on trying to get it off the road and into parking area which it didn't make. The Jeep turned completely off, power steering locked up, and it was like a light switch had been flipped with no prior warnings. Luckily, this happened at relatively lower speeds, but it shouldn't have happened at all. 2 weeks ago it was released from Jeep dealership service department due to this issue happening before with my husband driving but it went off while stopped at a red light. This time the vehicle was moving when it went out. They replaced both batteries and fuse array / fuse box. They stated the batteries were bad. Obviously it is not the batteries or fuse arrays since both are only 2 weeks old. Therefore there is something serious going on with this vehicle and no vehicle with less than 38,000 should have major mechanical oe electrical failure. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle in current state and if this continues without Jeep being held responsible for doing something about it someone is going to get killed. It shouldn't take a death before the company is held responsible.

For the 4th time the motor seems to die while driving down the road with no warning. Charging warnings pop up and the car does not start. Has been to dealership multiple times and never gets fixed. Chrysler told to me sue them. I don’t have the money to sue them and the cars is in drivable. Been in the dealership many times with me being left without a car for months. They won’t take it back and I still have 6 months of payments.

Today is 10/19/2026. I have a 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe rubicon that has completed all of its safety recalls and recall notices. Each recall notice has been completed and each was marked as having no issues found. After completion of recall notice 68c (NHTSA 25v-741), we began to experience a complete change in how the car operates based on the vehicle mode selected on the 3 button panel (hybrid, electric, e-save). We are now experiencing a consistent inappropriate kicking in of the gasoline engine when selecting and driving in the "electric" only mode. Our normal driving of this car has occurred on the same roadways since we purchased the car from dealer stock. Prior to the safety recall notice referred to as "68c/NHTSA 25v-741), we could select the "electric" mode button on the 3 button panel selection and our 4xe would run exclusively in the electric mode until it approached or reached the 1% mark. Now, the vehicle will kick in the gasoline engine even when the electric charge is above 50% ( I have actually had it kick in at the 75% mark). In addition, when this happens, the engine will rev to the 3000-4000rpm range unlike when the selection mode is chosen for "hybrid". Today, while driving in the "electric" mode and with the battery in excess of 50%, the gasoline engine kicked in about 10x. I finally had to press the "e-save" button to prevent the excessive engine kicking in and revving. Please initiate an investigation on what Chrysler did to change the software that now is rendering my vehicle useless in some respects and in most respects defeats the exact purpose of wishing to run in electric mode if I know my trips will be under 20 miles. The excessive wear, tear, and strain on the engine due to the high revving can not in any fathomable way be deemed normal behavior! a review of some Jeep forums and youtube channels can confirm that other owners are experiencing the same exact issues.

Vehicle shuts down and looses all power and battery controls without warning. My 18 y/o daughter was driving the Jeep when this happened. Was unable to get vehicle into n for over an hour. Fuses and relays inside the under hood fuse block were extremely hot. After finally getting it into n, we removed from the travel lanes of the 4 lane highway. I had Jeep towed to house and waiting to hear back from dealer as to when I can have it towed in.

On [xxx], my 2019 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon (2. 0l turbo) caught fire in the engine compartment while driving, at approximately 101,437 miles. The fire started near the turbocharger and heat shield area. There were no injuries, but the vehicle was moving on a public road with four occupants, including two young children in car seats in the rear, when the fire started. The vehicle had been returned to me four days earlier, after approximately 2. 5 months at preferred Chrysler Dodge Jeep of muskegon, mi for a timing chain replacement. After the fire, I found that the coolant reservoir hose had come off its fitting, and the hose barb appears to have been broken and the hose pushed back on. Several under-hood trim fasteners were also missing. My best assessment is that coolant sprayed onto the hot turbo/exhaust components and ignited. The vehicle has not been altered since the fire and is available for inspection at watson's in ludington, mi. I reported the fire to the manufacturer. They directed me to take it to the local dealer, then instructed the dealer not to inspect or work on it. The case was escalated internally, but as of 10/15/2026 no manufacturer inspection has occurred and no one has contacted me. The cause has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent shop. The fire occurred within the vehicle's certified pre-owned warranty period. As of this filing, the manufacturer has not provided towing, rental, or any other assistance. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The vehicle is not performing as it did when first purchased. Through a series of recalls related to the main drive battery, the vehicle now lacks power when in electric mode pulling out on highways, passing on highways, or even driving at speeds over 40mph or so. I went to pull out on the highway this morning, for example, in electric mode, and there was a good 1-2 second sluggish acceleration before the gas engine kicked on and revved up without any kind of warm up. I can't imagine this is good for the gas engine. I never had that issue before these recalls. I'm also concerned the recent recall is going so long without any kind of resolution. I feel like Jeep has had so many safety, fire and performance issues they really should be buying these back and taking them off the road. Pulling out into traffic and not having acceleration for 1-2 seconds is very dangerous.

The transmission on this 2022 Jeep Wrangler sport 2-door (3. 6l) has twice failed to shift / provide motive power, requiring a tow each time. First incident: xxx, about 20,812 miles. A transmission warning appeared and the vehicle would not shift out of park. It was towed to stevens creek Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram, [xxx], repair order xxx. The dealer found dtc u11c2, replaced a new oem mopar valve body and a new transmission control module, programmed them and road-tested the vehicle. It was picked up xxx. Second incident: xxx, about 21,209 miles. The transmission again would not go into gear and the vehicle could not move. It was towed xxx to the same dealer, repair order xxx, opened xxx and still open. The dealer says Jeep wants another valve-body replacement before condemning the transmission. Safety concern: loss of motive power / inability to shift, twice, without warning, can leave the vehicle unable to move and creates crash and stranding risk. No crash, fire, injury or fatality is reported for these incidents. The owner considers this a serious safety concern impairing use, value and safety. Prior damage: only a comprehensive insurance claim for rodent damage, not an accident. Vehicle background: purchased new in [xxx], delivered xxx (negotiated xxxx) from sam leman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of [xxx], listed sale price $43,875, no discount, under a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and registered in [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Since the last 2 updates / recalls , my transmission has become very clunky. From a stop or in slow traffic, the transmission pops in gear and it is very hard. It seems to be getting worse as time goes by. The gears when shifting thru the gears is fine, no issues there.

Our Wrangler was taken in to get the 68c recall done and once we finally got the vehicle back the electric driving mode had significantly less power to the point where the vehicle showed it was limited to 43-45kw of power output to the electric motors which resulted in a top speed of about 67-70mph until it completely failed and said "electric mode temporarily unavailable" on the dash. It then stumbles and restarts after a brief pause thag causes the vehicle to slow down to 55-58mph and then the vehicle can accelerate again only on gasoline power. This problem is easily repeatable and seems to be directly tied to a major software update limiting power output of this vehicle compare to the original power numbers of when we purchased this vehicle.

I want to preface by saying I love my Jeep and I baby it. It only has 13k miles on it (mostly highway) and I have never taken it offroad. However, I paid a ton of money for a vehicle that, not only has lost more than half it's value in 2 years, but is also not reliable or safe. A 70k value vehicle that is only worth less than 30k now. I have several ongoing issues and they have happened multiple times. The 68c and 78c recalls caused so many issues with performance, safety and reliability of my Jeep. Jeep misrepresented the number of affected vehicles. I purchased my Jeep based on the claimed reliability, good fuel economy (for a Jeep) and the low end torque and peppy ride it used to have. Following the 68c and 78c recalls, it no longer responds the way it should (and used to) when pressing the gas pedal. Power is greatly reduced and it inhibits my ability to safely merge into traffic and accelerate on the highway. My Jeep abruptly died in the middle of a highway in June while I was accelerating to switch lanes. The Jeep came to a halting stop from 65mph-0mph in a matter of 2-3 seconds and a car behind me almost rear ended me. Jeep advises not to park near the house or charge it. I can't park in the garage so my Jeep also takes a weather beating year round. When I press the brake with force, the Jeep skids and skips forward before stopping. I have had many close calls where I almost rear ended someone at a stop light because the Jeep lurches forward on its own. When braking, it often makes the tires squeal as it's lurching forward in an attempt to stop itself. I bought this vehicle to drive from PA to FL 2x a year. Something I can safely transport my family. I do not trust it anymore so I had to purchase a second vehicle. The Jeep also squeaks at low speeds and the dealer doesn't know what it is. It already leaks water when it rains. 21d recall is upcoming - another fire risk. Vehicle is scheduled to go to dealer on 9/21. Please help - I want what I paid for!.

I have a failed 68c federal recall safety remedy recall. The Jeep suffered a catastrophic high-voltage battery and powertrain failure while operating at highway speeds. The vehicle is unsafe to drive, charge, or park near structures due to fire risk. In December of 2025 at the Jeep's authorized dealership the battery passed corporate software diagnostics, and stellantis assured me the vehicle was safe to operate. The recall remedy completely failed. On September 18, 2026 while driving at highway speeds in active traffic, the vehicle suffered a total loss of powertrain power and shut down completely, creating an imminent safety hazard for myself and others. The vehicle has been sitting at the dealership since then. There are also other active recalls on the vehicle that put myself and others in danger. Parking in a garage or near a structure are not permitted. It is also not safet to charge.

After a cold start (sitting for a few hours or overnight) if I were to give the vehicle some gas, 15% pressure on the petal, the car bucks violently shifting from 1st to 2nd to the extent of 'chirping' the tires. This happens about 50% of all starts, the severity varies from slight (like a small bump in the road) to violent (chirping the tires \ breaking suddenly) it's been reported several times to the dealer but they cannot replicate the issue.

Was difficult to start and check engine was immediately on after I got it started. Was running sluggish and went into turtle mode while driving it to the dealership.

68c recall software update has caused some form of loss of power, doesn’t fully power off, it feels as if it is throttling the electric motor causing the engine to suddenly start and rev high (5-7k rpm) bypassing the warm up time that’s built into the software for the engine. Now on 09/14/2026 (Monday) the vehicle through a dtc code “p0bbe-00” high voltage battery voltage variation. It went into limp mode while attempting to drive up the roll back (flatbed tow truck). Currently awaiting dealer diagnostic.

My Jeep has been in the shop multiple times for a check engine light. Approximately 7-8 times. I've always been told, it's just giving 2-3 different codes and it's nothing to worry about. About a month ago, I was driving my Jeep and it just stopped running. I was sitting in the middle of a very busy intersection. I could not put it in natural to push it to the side of the road, I couldn't get it started, it was just doing nothing. For approximately 45 mins it sat in the middle of an intersection with people yelling at me, beeping at me, etc. . . When my wife arrived to help me get my stuff out of the vehicle, I tried it one more time and it started up. I then drove it immediately to the dealership. Every light on the dashboard was lit up and the engine was revving like a lawn mower. Got it to the dealership again was told the whole ev battery needed to be replaced. It's a 2024 Wrangler 4xe with around 15,000 miles on it. I think it's been in the shop longer than I've actually driven it the past couple of year. I will never buy another Jeep product.

When I was coming to a stop at a stoplight, my vehicle started to violently wobble almost having me to loose control. I was unable to slow down when pressing the brakes and almost hit vehicles in front of me. This has happened numerous times and I have had my tires rotated and alignment done just recently.

The vehicle has a lack of power in electric mode and stalls when the engine turns on to run on gas power. This is causing merging issues or ramping up to speed to enter the highway. When trying to quickly turn or avoid being hit by an oncoming traffic when you floor the accelerator, it lags and doesn’t engage power to quickly move out of the way. You have to be in gas mode for a quick response. This happens all the time.

My vehicles check engine light came on in the morning when starting the vehicle. It was a solid check engine light not flashing. I proceede to drive the vehicle and while pressing the accelerator the vehicle does not move. The engine done not connect immediatly, this is a hybrid vehicle so it attempts to use both the electrical and gas motors. The engin begins to rev very high and then after somewhere between 5-10 secounds of no power the vechicle jumps forward with the gas engine connecting. I attempt to put the vehicle into gas only mode, but this also does not work as this setting is turned off along with the electrical only mode. Other interior electronics are not working either. When attempting to drive to my local auto parts store to find out the codes for the check engine the vehicle shut off the gas engine preventing the vehicle from accelerating. Then seemingly randomly the engine will kick on and lurch the vehicle forward and then stop and turn off the gas engine again. The safty of myself and other are at risk because of the uncontrolable acceleration or loss of power randomly while driving. The problem has now been reproducable for multiple days. I have reported it to my dealership bloomington chrystler, Jeep, Dodge, ram. And was told they do not have any appointments available and I should wait and should be safe to continue driving. Upon getting the codes from the auto parts store obd2 scanner I received 4 counts of the p0bee code and 1 count of the p1abc code. I informed my dealership of this and they told me that I should continue to drive it until my appointment and that they can assess it then. In the mean time I have lost power in the middle of intersections while attempting to drive through. I have lurched forward into crosswalks with pedestrians attempting to cross the street at stop signs and have lost power on streets when slowing down causing the vehicle to be unable to restart until coming to a complete stop and restarting.

My vehicle is currently in the shop getting the high voltage battery replaced for the second time due to a code showing battery voltage variation as well as getting the latest 21d recall completed. The Jeep currently has about 90,000 miles and has received all other recalls. The Jeep no longer functions or performs like it did when I took ownership in February of 2022. It routinely loses power when trying to accelerate onto highways or into traffic lanes or up hills. You can push the pedal down and there is a noticeable delay of several seconds before the vehicle starts to accelerate. The car no longer will stay in selected "electric mode" and will instead kick the engine on at random times or take the vehicle out of "electric" and into "hybrid". When at slow speeds (under 15mph) in traffic the Jeep lurches and slows, unable to maintain a constant speed. Also I have no way of proving that the overall power has been reduced through programming but the acceleration and advertised 375hp/470lb-ft does not seem to have the same feeling that it once did when first purchasing this vehicle. I believe there is a dangerous ongoing safety issue possibly with the programming, as well as the hv batteries. There were no warning lights coming on during the course of the last several months until I had a cel for battery voltage variation and then it was taken to the dealership on the same day. There has been no communication with Jeep/stellantis other than them issuing an unlimited mileage warranty on the hv battery. They seem to be replacing it with the same design, and therefore not addressing the issue only putting a band aid on the problem.

Driving the vehicle and it had uncontrolled acceleration. The wipers went on and multiple lights went on, engine, brakes to name a few. The brake peddle did work. Picture below was after incident and not all the lights.

On August 26, 2026, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, with approximately 32,000 miles, experienced a sudden loss of power while my family and I were driving. The vehicle lost power in an intersection, creating a serious safety hazard with surrounding traffic. We were stranded until help arrived, and the vehicle had to be towed because it would not restart. Before the loss of power, the a/c stopped blowing cold air. The check-engine light came on, dashboard components and warning indicators began flashing, the battery warning light appeared, and a “service charging system” warning was displayed. This was not simply an inconvenience. The sudden loss of power left us unable to move the vehicle in an intersection and created a significant risk of being struck by another vehicle, potentially causing serious injury or death. I am a military veteran, and this incident caused a severe stress and trauma response because I believed my family's safety and my life were in danger. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether this incident is related to a safety defect involving the charging system, electrical system, hybrid propulsion system, battery system, power electronics, software, or another component capable of causing sudden loss of motive power. I understand NHTSA has previously investigated loss of motive power involving Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles. I am reporting this incident so it can be included in NHTSA's safety data and evaluated for a possible broader safety defect. I can provide the VIN, towing records, photographs/videos of the warnings, diagnostic trouble codes, dealership findings, and repair records. I respectfully request that NHTSA document and investigate this safety complaint and determine whether further action or a safety recall is warranted.

The 48-volt lithium-ion etorque hybrid battery pack (mopar power pack unit/ppu) on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited (~55k miles) failed. The failed component may be available on video by the dealership. Check engine light first appeared early xxx. Earliest dealership appointment was late August 2026. At that visit, dealer diagnosed dtcs p0a94 (recurring, including p0a94-03) and u0412, and performed a software update flashing the bpcm (battery pack control module) firmware from 05057870an to 05057870av per a technical service bulletin. This was covered under warranty at no charge; vehicle was returned to me. Days later, the check engine light returned along with a battery warning light and additional indicators, including abs among others I could not fully identify. The vehicle then lost power and stopped running while in the roadway, disabled in an active lane of travel — a safety hazard to myself and surrounding traffic. Vehicle was towed to the dealership xxx. On this second visit, the dealership attributed the failure to moisture exposure and corrosion at the ppu connector/harness, denied warranty coverage, and charged me $4,561. 90. I received the repaired vehicle xxx. I opened a case with stellantis customer care (case #xxx) with case manager [xxx] to request a technical review of the failure and the warranty denial. [xxx] stated he contacted the dealership five times seeking information or resolution and received no response. He offered rental car reimbursement up to $50/day during the repair. Dealership diagnosed and repaired the vehicle on both occasions. No known inspection by manufacturer, police, or insurance beyond the review requested under stellantis case #xxx. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Recall 19a was a full clutch assembly replacement on January 2024 at 60,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle in January 2025 with 64,000 miles. I have owned the Jeep for 1 year and 8 months. I now have 78,000 miles. Service transmission light comes and goes if the vehicle cools down the light goes off and drives normal. When the service transmission light is on the clutch is overheated and slips I can not move the vehicle out of 1st gear. I drove it to a dealer and they state I have a bad clutch it is overheating. I do not believe I should pay for a clutch after a brand new clutch kit was installed 17,000 miles ago.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 23v116000 (power train); however, the failure persisted after the recall repair. While driving 15 mph, the instrument cluster failed to display the gear that the transmission was shifted to. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated, and the vehicle failed to turn off. The contact stalled the engine and waited for the vehicle to shut off. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the instrument cluster had damaged the transmission and can c bus connector. The dealer replaced the instrument cluster, transmission, and can c bus connector, but the instrument cluster again failed to display the transmission gear. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

While traveling at highway speed on the freeway, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of motive power/engine shutdown without prior warning. The instrument cluster immediately displayed a vehicle graphic outlined with red lines alongside an alert message instructing to shift the vehicle into park and turn the engine off. > the sudden loss of propulsion in live freeway traffic created an immediate safety hazard and collision risk while attempting to navigate across active lanes to the shoulder. > the vehicle previously had its high-voltage traction battery replaced approximately one year ago under warranty. The vehicle has been taken to an authorized dealership for diagnostic scanning and triage. Dealership said they can do a software update… that’s not okay.

When driving the vehicle down the highway it just randomly hard shifted out of know where almost causing us to be rear-ended. The dash then said service transmission continue in drive do not shift or turn engine off until you reach a desired location. You may not be able to shift again until services. It then limited power to the vehicle. It was show codes u1003, u0101, and u0402 multiple times. The vehicle was taking to a dealer where it was "parked" only it wouldn't go into park. We had to put the e-brake up holding it in place at the dealer so it wouldn't roll. Then when attempting to shut the vehicle off it only stopped the engine from running. It stayed in acc mode all night until the dealer could mess with it the next day. The dealer is now saying it's just a dead battery. This is unsafe and could have ended very badly just for a dead battery that showed no signs of issues before hand. For a vehicle that on has approximately 57k miles and is 4 years old this is horrible.

After 68c recall completed, there is a noticeable reduced power and sudden engine (ice) starts when it shouldn't be needed. It takes seconds for the vehicle to pickup speed when needed such as when merging lanes which causes a high risk for an accident due to this delay in response. This vehicle is not running as intended, it seems the threshold has been reduced on purpose which is not why I purchased this vehicle to begin with. I need this vehicle to operate as it once used to. Since there has not been a code produced dealer is not able to help. This is not a one off I know other consumers are running into the same situation something needs to be done to resolve the root cause of the problem and not mask it while changing the vehicles original specifications in terms of performance.

Vehicle & incident: 2019 Jeep Wrangler jl 2. 0l turbo. While climbing an extended grade on hwy 87, vehicle experienced a sudden sluggish throttle anomaly and rapid coolant temperature spike from ~215f to 255f under load. Vehicle was pulled off and shut down within ~20 seconds. Suspected failure mode & underhood fire: upon opening the hood, pressurized coolant had sprayed across the engine bay from a split in the smaller rubber hose branch of the engine coolant outlet assembly (mopar pn 68280797ac). The hose split longitudinally ~13mm with the center ~32mm from the hose end. The vehicle is equipped with a baja designs t-fitting to replace 68280784a the hot, pressurized coolant sprayed directly onto the exposed, center section of the turbocharger between the compressor and turbine sections and on the turbine section itself. The coolant is suspected to have flash-ignited on contact with the turbo, creating an active under hood fire that began spreading to the hood insulation liner. The fire was successfully doused roadside with water, preventing a total vehicle burn-down. No other fuel sources were noted and the lines to the turbocharger were intact and did not show evidence of a leak. Safety concern / hazard for NHTSA: 1. Fire hazard: pressurized factory coolant hoses and plastic junctions on the 2. 0t gmet4 are routed in close proximity to the unshielded turbine housing. A hose rupture under normal grade-climbing thermal loads results in high-pressure atomized coolant hitting an ignition source well above its auto-ignition point. 2. Component degradation: rubber lines near the engine outlet appear susceptible to heat-fatigue failure under high ambient/high load conditions, posing a sudden fire hazard at highway speeds. Repair: roadside trim/re-clamp of the split hose allowed temporary transit. Replacing full hose assembly (68280797ac), upgrading radiator lines, and performing a full oat coolant flush/vacuum refill. No oil contamination was noted after the incident.

While driving my vehicle, I have noticed a significant decrease in power and a corresponding slowdown, particularly in traffic conditions. This has resulted in a near-miss collision with another vehicle in the rear. Furthermore, attempting to accelerate the vehicle has proven futile. Ps. The dealer where I brought the vehicle is kinda giving me a hard time & I fear for my family safety. Honestly I dont feel like the dealer was being completly honest.

The Wrangler 4xe after the latest recall has had issues with power, switching from driving with all electric to driving with the engine running. Have had several instances of very laggy pedal response (even at highway speeds) which could cause a safety issue or accident.

After application of the most recent battery recall/software update, 68c, the vehicle operates differently than it previously did. In fact, it now nearly stalls while climbing a hill to my home when the battery charge indicated is less than about 35%. Vehicle speed drops from 25 to nearly 5mph, independent of accelerator pedal position, before the engine starts abruptly. Not only am I creating a traffic hazard for those behind me, but the cold gas engine engages at full load. Secondly, the overall response to accelerator input seems to be much slower, both in time and power, than before the software update. This causes issues when pulling out into traffic and is especially alarming when the Jeep won't respond as it did for the previous 50k miles.
