Power Train Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 1

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30-45 mph, the vehicle lost power. On another occasion, while driving at 20 mph, the vehicle lost motive power. While shifting into gear, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. The check engine warning light illuminated after the failure. The driver was able to pull over safely. The vehicle was running, and the heat was functioning. The vehicle was towed to a aaa service center, where the filter and oil were changed; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to aaa again, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I am writing to report an additional safety?related incident involving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler rubicon 4xe. This vehicle previously experienced propulsion issues that I reported under NHTSA case number 11692887. On the morning of February 4, 2026, while driving to work on a busy interstate (approximately 12 miles from home), the vehicle again began exhibiting propulsion instability. The vehicle experienced repeated surging and thrusting movements that became progressively more severe during the drive. During these events, the check?engine light intermittently illuminated and then turned off. This incident occurred exactly seven days after my vehicle was evaluated by sam leman Dodge on January 27, 2026, for three open safety recalls. At that visit, I was provided paperwork indicating that the issues had been addressed. However, as of today, the official Jeep/mopar recall website still shows multiple serious and active safety recalls for my VIN, including recalls involving fire risk and sudden loss of motive power. After the February 4 incident, I contacted the dealership, and their service department advised me not to drive the vehicle and recommended that it be towed to the dealership for evaluation. I followed this guidance due to the severity of the propulsion behavior and the safety concerns involved. Given the recurrence of propulsion instability, the worsening severity of the surging behavior, the dealer’s recommendation not to drive the vehicle, and the presence of multiple unresolved safety recalls, I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance in ensuring that the manufacturer addresses these issues and restores the vehicle to a safe operating condition. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Recognize that this is the second time I have emailed the NHTSA regarding propulsion issues with this vehicle (earlier case number 11692887). Please help me build a relationship with Jeep to ensure this vehicle is restored to a safe condition.

I bought my 2017 Jeep with 29,000 miles on it. I had an issue with the rear driverside brake locking up around 40,000 miles. I feel this is a safety issue due to how hot the brakes got and at times would be smoking. It being the weekend and my only vehicle, repaired myself for approximately $280. I have had to replace several coil packs around $50,000 miles. My main complaint today, at 66,000 miles it seems to be leaking oil. I took to mechanic this morning and was told this is a common problem with Jeeps. The oil cooler housing is cracked and leaking. This part is made out of plastic. The repair for this is going to cost $1200 to $1500. I have read complaints regarding this issue and do not understand why this hasn't been recalled. This is a major safety concern and could possibly cause a fire. I have owned Jeeps my whole life and as of today, I will never purchase another. The Jeep brand has declined in reliability and has proved to be a huge financial mistake.

I just had the 68c recall done to my Jeep Wrangler 4xe recently. Before the recall, it was running fine. But now, every time I go uphill in electric only mode, the car would suddenly lose power (eg. Slowing down from 50 mph to 20 mph). Pressing the accelerator does nothing, until I fully depress it, at which point the gas engine would start and the car jerks forward. It's very dangerous with the sudden slow down and speed up for no reason.

See all problems of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 🔎.

After having the 68c recall software update completed on my Jeep at an authorized dealership, I now experience sluggish and decreased acceleration (even deceleration) upon pressing the accelerator more than half way (approximately). This happened twice on hills in which I needed to increase power while in electric mode. What happened was the Jeep seemed to lose power and decrease in speed while trying to go up the hill. I continued pressing the accelerator farther down and the Jeep seemed to be even more sluggish until all of a sudden the combustion engine kicked in at a very intense level and high rpm, lurching be forward, almost into the back of another vehicle. The sudden decrease in power to an even more sudden and drastic (sharp) increase felt dangerous.

After the 68c / NHTSA 25v-741 recall was completed, the Jeep can be difficult to drive and will dangerously lose power or accelerate unexpectedly. When driving in electric mode it will suddenly lose power and often start the engine abruptly. I've nearly been rear ended when it lost power, but also almost crashed into the car in front of me when the engine started abruptly and gave full power unexpectedly. This is a new characteristic since the recall was completed. I spoke with the dealer assistant service manager, and he said that unless the vehicle is displaying an error or warning, that it is operating as stellantis has written the software for the recall. I spoke with stellantis and told them of the severe safety issue, and that I feel unsafe driving it. Since I've been told this defect is normal, I asked for a refund/return. They said "sorry" and can't help me and referred me to arbitration. This is a defective vehicle that has been rendered even further defective. Stellantis refuses to take any responsibility.

Vehicle equipped with a 3. 6l pentastar v6 engine developed loud ticking noises, engine misfires, and loss of power while driving. The vehicle hesitated during acceleration and could not reliably maintain speed, creating a safety risk in traffic. An authorized dealership pulled diagnostic trouble codes, acknowledged the abnormal ticking, and advised the failure was likely related to the camshaft, lifters, and rocker arms. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic for further inspection. The independent mechanic confirmed failure of the valve train and camshaft components, requiring replacement of the passenger side intake camshaft (bank 2), cam phaser, phaser bolt, and all lifters and rocker arms. Photos of the failed components are available. The defect was confirmed by both a dealership and an independent repair facility. Issue presents risk of sudden loss of power while the vehicle is in motion.

After a bad ota update in October, in November before the stop charge recall was issued I noticed on Nov 21, when in "electric" mode, after 10 or so minutes of driving the vehicle loses the ability to accelerate past half application of the accelerator. This lack of power continues until the accelerator is fully pushed on the floor forcing the gas engine on and causing immediate and dangerous acceleration. After this incident on the 11/21, I didn't charge again until I had the 68c recall performed where the dealer told me they think it's fixed. On my way home from the dealer it happened again. From here I emailed the dealer over the holiday and sent them videos of the problem. I opened a case with Jeep and brought it in. I was then told they replicated my issue but that it's normal now since all the updates. They refused to go for a quick ride along and closed my Jeep case with no resolution or help. This problem that did not exist before the ota update. I don't know if it's related to the ota update or related to the a7c recall, wither way I don't feel safe driving this with any amount of charge in it, even though the dealer gave an ok to charge. The dealer wants nothing to do with addressing this because I think they can't fix it since there is no cel or codes in the computer. I don't know what to do from here. You will find attached the email chain and see youtube addresses. I can share these directly if needed or produce much better ones. This is completely repeatable and consistent.

I am reporting an unresolved safety recall on my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (recall 78c). This recall involves manufacturing debris left in the engine, which can cause sudden loss of power while driving and, in some cases, engine fires. There is currently no fix available for this recall. Despite the known safety risk, stellantis is instructing owners to continue driving the vehicle. I have told the manufacturer that I do not feel safe operating a vehicle under an active safety recall with no remedy, but I was told there is nothing they can do. This vehicle is leased, and while a separate battery recall (68c) was addressed with rental reimbursement, stellantis is refusing to provide any interim accommodation for recall 78c, even though it remains open and unresolved. Being told to continue driving a vehicle with a known risk of sudden power loss or fire, with no repair available, presents a serious safety concern for drivers and the public. I am concerned about the risk of an accident or fire occurring before a fix is available.

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.

Subject: safety complaint – 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe unexpectedly shifted into park while in traffic vehicle: 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe mileage at time of incident: 1300 date of incident: 13 Dec 2025 location: ohio I am submitting this complaint to formally report a serious and dangerous safety defect involving my 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. While approaching a red traffic light at normal driving speed, the vehicle suddenly and without any warning shifted itself into park. I did not press the park button, and no alerts or warnings were displayed prior to the event. The vehicle abruptly decelerated, leaving me momentarily without power in active traffic. I had to quickly react, restart, and shift back into gear. This incident was completely unexpected, and placed me and others at immediate risk of a rear-end collision. This behavior is unacceptable in a modern vehicle and represents a clear safety hazard, particularly in traffic conditions where sudden loss of propulsion can result in serious injury or death. There were no dashboard warnings, messages, or indications that the vehicle was about to enter park. The vehicle was functioning normally immediately before the incident. I am requesting: 1. A full investigation into this incident 2. Written documentation of any known defects, recalls, or software issues related to unintended gear shifts in the Wrangler 4xe 3. A permanent fix, not a temporary reset or software update without explanation 4. Documentation placed in my vehicle service record acknowledging this safety issue I am also submitting this complaint to the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA) due to the severity of the safety risk. This incident has caused me to lose confidence in the safety and reliability of this vehicle, and I expect this matter to be treated with urgency. The vehicle is currently in the shop for the past 4 days with no call explaining what the problem is.

This is a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. It currently has 22,700 miles on it. These issues began prior to 20,000 miles. The car stops driving with out warning. This has occurred on three occasions, while driving in traffic. It locks up, but power is still working. A message pops up that says put the vehicle in drive. . . Which it already is. It comes to an abrupt stop. It will not regain power. You have to power on and off multiple times to get it to start. Recently it failed to start (engine). Again, had full power, but the engine would not start. It also will not charge fully to 100%. The display screen will bling or go black, with no power. The steering wheel will shake uncontrollably while driving over 65-70 mph. These issues began in summer 2025. One incident was in sept. Oct, Nov, and Dec 13 was the last.

My vehicle is affected by multiple safety recalls related to the high-voltage battery / charging system. The recall instructions include safety restrictions such as not parking near structures/buildings and limiting/avoiding charging (or following specific charging precautions) due to a potential safety hazard (including fire risk). Despite these warnings, there is no available remedy/repair at this time, and an authorized dealer has confirmed the recalls apply but cannot complete the recall repairs. Separately (and repeatedly), while driving the vehicle has displayed a “stop safely / pull over” warning message multiple times. Each time this occurs I must pull over immediately due to concern for a sudden loss of propulsion or unsafe operation in traffic. This creates a significant safety risk to me and others because it can occur unexpectedly and could lead to a crash, loss of power, or being stranded in an unsafe location. The condition has been reproduced multiple times. The vehicle is available for inspection. The exact root cause is unknown at this time, and I have not received a permanent fix.

The vehicle experienced a loss of motive power while stopped at a traffic light and would not accelerate when the accelerator was pressed. The failure appears related to the powertrain/electrical system. The vehicle was unable to move and required a restart to regain propulsion. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request. This failure placed my safety and the safety of other road users at risk due to the inability to proceed through an intersection as expected, creating a risk of collision. The problem has not been reproduced on demand, but it has occurred at least once and is consistent with an active safety recall (a7c) related to loss of motive power. The issue has been discussed with the manufacturer and a dealer, both of whom confirmed that no repair or interim remedy is currently available. The vehicle has not been physically inspected by the manufacturer due to the lack of an available repair. No warning lamps or messages were present prior to the failure, and the loss of propulsion occurred without warning.

My Jeep Wrangler 4xe displayed a ‘service charging system’ warning immediately after unplugging from charging. I began to drive and noticed the warning right away. I then parked and attempted to restart the vehicle, but it would not start and became completely inoperable. The vehicle had to be towed. The dealer confirmed this issue is related to the current hybrid safety recall, but stellantis has stated that no repair is available, and it may not be available until the end of the year or the first quarter of next year. The vehicle is undrivable, and I cannot safely use or move it. Stellantis is only offering reimbursement for a rental, which I cannot access because I cannot afford to pay for a rental vehicle upfront. Reimbursement for what could be an unlimited or months-long period of rental fees is not a reasonable or accessible remedy. This leaves me without any safe or practical transportation option. I have now been without transportation for over 48 hours, and the manufacturer is not providing a reasonable remedy or safe transportation while the recall repair remains unavailable. I am filing this complaint so NHTSA can document the delay, the lack of an accessible remedy, and the manufacturer’s failure to provide a safe, timely solution for an undrivable recall-affected vehicle. The vehicle is undrivable and I cannot safely park or use it. Stellantis is only offering reimbursement for a rental, which I cannot access because I cannot afford to rent a vehicle upfront. I have now been without transportation for over 48 hours, and the manufacturer is not providing a reasonable remedy or safe transportation while the recall repair remains unavailable. I am filing this so NHTSA can document the delay and lack of an accessible remedy for an undrivable recall-affected vehicle.

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.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v741000 (electrical system). The contact stated that recently the vehicle started hesitating while driving at various speeds while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact noticed that white smoke was coming from the exhaust pipe.

I was driving on the freeway, 65mph, in los angeles and the '21 Jeep Wrangler 4xe started showing a bunch of error messages telling me to safely pull over, loss of propulsion, etc. I lost power and was unable to drive past 38mph. Upon getting to the end of the off-ramp and before coming to a full stop, the vehicle threw itself into parking gear. I shifted to park, and it wouldn’t shift out of park, while I was blocking traffic on the off-ramp, which could have been a dangerous incident. I required a tow truck. There was a check engine light and a 12v battery light while I was bricked. The tow truck was unable to jump start it. The dealer provided a pre-scan report showing stored codes p0607 (ecu internal performance) and p1b13 (park-by-wire unintended out of park). Refusal to repair: the dealer just replaced the 12v battery and "cleared the codes" (per their invoice). There is a known TSB 08-054-22 (NHTSA id 10248015) specifically relating to code p0607 software logic, but they refused to look into it further. I didn’t have confidence in their diagnosis, and when requesting them to do a safety test drive with me, they refused. When I pressed for safety verification, the service director told me to “leave the dealership and never come back. ” I was genuinely concerned about the safety of this vehicle and their lack of investigative diagnosis, specifically their refusal to verify if the TSB was performed to ensure the hybrid control modules have up-to-date software. They refused to offer any help and just told me to “take the vehicle and leave. ” I don’t believe it’s normal for a car to lose propulsion from a weak 12v battery while driving. There seems to be a more complicated communication issue (p0607) that is happening, and it very much concerns me as losing propulsion on the highway is very dangerous.

While driving under normal conditions, the vehicle suddenly became unstable and difficult to control. Steering response was abnormal, and the vehicle did not behave as expected, creating a loss of stability and control. The incident occurred without warning and required the vehicle to be towed. This event raised serious safety concerns, as the vehicle appeared prone to instability and unsafe operation. The vehicle has a history of repeated mechanical and safety-related issues that were previously addressed through warranty service but not resolved. Despite prior repairs, the unsafe condition persisted and culminated in this incident. The manufacturer was notified of the ongoing defects and safety concerns but did not provide corrective resolution beyond referring the vehicle back to dealership service.

I purchased (traded into) a 2021 Jeep Wrangler on October 31, 2024. The vehicle already had an open safety recall (68c) at the time of purchase. Shortly after, the vehicle began experiencing severe and dangerous safety failures. While driving, the Jeep suddenly goes into “turtle mode,” loses power without warning, and drops to 7–12 mph in traffic. The engine light comes on and the vehicle becomes almost undrivable. This creates an extremely hazardous situation where I could be rear-ended or left stranded on the road. This is a serious safety risk to me and to other drivers. I contacted Jeep/stellantis recall customer care to report the issue. Only after calling did I receive an email telling me I must pay out of pocket for a rental vehicle, even though the vehicle is unsafe and the recall remedy is not available. I immediately responded saying I cannot pay upfront. Since November 25, Jeep/stellantis has ignored my messages completely. The vehicle remains unsafe, undrivable, and under a recall with no available parts. Jeep has refused to provide a direct-billed rental or any safe alternative transportation. I have been left without a usable vehicle while the manufacturer fails to communicate or offer assistance. This is a major safety defect, and the lack of manufacturer response puts me in danger. If this vehicle loses power in traffic again, it could cause an accident. I am requesting NHTSA intervention because Jeep/stellantis is not addressing this safety issue, not providing a remedy, and not honoring their recall responsibilities. Symptoms: •sudden power loss •turtle mode activation •speed dropping to 7–12 mph unexpectedly •engine warning light on •vehicle unsafe to operate manufacturer failure: •recall 68c remedy unavailable •denied direct-billed rental •required me to pay upfront for rental •no response to my communication since Nov 25 •left me without transportation.

To address what system failed: the engine shuts off while driving at highway speeds without warning. The electrical system suddenly and completely shutdown. Loss of propulsion while driving. To address the safety for myself and others at risk: the vehicles sudden loss of propulsion at highway speeds created an immediate risk of rear-end collision, loss of control of the vehicle or being stranded in active traffic lanes. Surrounding vehicles were forced to brake and maneuver unexpectedly, placing myself, passengers (children) and other motorists at risk of serious injury or death. No warning lights prior to failure and the vehicle will be inspected on February 2, 2026 at westgate in raleigh.

I purchased this certified preowned vehicle in the month of 10/2025 from manahwkin Jeep. Ii drove the vehicle aproximately 1000 mile since I purchased it. I contacted the dealership that the vehicle is hybrid battery not staying charged and that the motor is stalling and losing power when I drive it along with abnormal sounds from the engine . I had to pull over and recycle the ignition numerous times . When I checked the oil I noticed that there was a dirt /sandy substance on the dipstick, the service advisor told me this is normal and I believe is abnormal . I feel my issues that I am experiencing are consistent with the current recalls 68c and 78c . I feel that the dealership is giving me the runaround.

My local dealer has all the documentation on this Jeep. It has been into the dealership many times now the check engine light is on for another problem which I am taking it in again this weekend . When I ask the dealer, I’ve been seeing things on facebook about these Jeeps having issues they just filled me full of a bunch of bull and says every vehicle has issues. I’ve ran the VIN number and found out that mine is one of them that just catches on fire plus sometimes shakes when it’s driving down the road but that’s been minor considering everything else. One time I was driving up the driveway and it felt like the transmission slipped or something. They said it was something in the four-wheel-drive that went out. This is a new vehicle. It has very low miles on it. I’ve had it going on maybe the fourth year now it’s only got 31,000 miles on it I don’t drive it very far. It’s been in the shop several times for recalls or things that’s happened to it. When I first got it, it left me stranded would not start. I’d only had it a few days. It has been a lemon from start to finish. I am terrified to drive it and I don’t have another vehicle. I paid $55,000 for this Jeep just a few years ago. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I desperately need help if the manufacturer is refunding people’s monies I want to make sure that I get enough money to buy another vehicle because this one is only a few years old and it’s been in the shop numerous amount of times. The other day it shimmied a little bit on the highway and I thought it was the road and now I’m reading that there’s problems with that also, it’s clearly a lemon. But as I said, I’m scared to death to drive it now. The newest development as I’ve said is now the check engine light is on. It’s only been out of the shop for maybe three weeks since they fixed something in the four-wheel-drive which I’ve never even used. I love the looks of this Jeep, but it’s not dependable so I need help.

I lease a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN [xxx] ). On 10/23/2025, while traveling about 50 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost propulsion and the dash displayed “put in park to drive. ” I had to coast through traffic, stop, shift to park, and fully restart to regain drive. Within minutes it recurred. This defect is unpredictable and dangerous. I regularly commute on the ohio turnpike at highway speeds and I cannot risk driving this vehicle because it can cut power without warning, leaving me unable to accelerate while surrounding traffic closes in. I am avoiding highway use entirely and limiting all driving due to the high risk of rear-end collision during a power loss. The vehicle is unsafe to operate until a permanent remedy exists. Background: the vehicle has previously exhibited powertrain/electrical issues (including overheating) and spent ~2. 5 weeks at the dealer over the summer. Early incidents occurred under 18,000 miles. Recall context: mopar and NHTSA show an open safety recall a7c / 25v-710 on my VIN for loss of motive power; status “remedy not yet available. ” the vehicle is available for inspection by NHTSA or the manufacturer. I can provide screenshots/video of the “put in park to drive” message and repair records upon request. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My car has shut off three different times while driving, completely losing power in the middle of the road. It then turned back on by itself and suddenly accelerated on its own. The check engine light is on, and the sos system keeps activating and won’t turn off. What’s worse is that after taking it to the dealership, they’re now trying to return the car to me even though there’s an open safety recall that hasn’t been fixed. This is a major safety concern that needs immediate attention.

I just left my house and I was getting on the highway and the service 4 wheel drive light came on then all a sudden the car slowed down then it accelerated really fast so I pulled over and put it in park then when I tried to continue driving I put it in drive and it would not move. The engine ran but it would not move so I had to get it towed to the dealership.

The vehicle experienced repeated loss-of-power and stalling events while driving, including after a software update, which required the vehicle to be towed to a dealership. Similar drivability issues occurred earlier after purchase. The vehicle currently has multiple open safety recalls. Despite repeated attempts to work with the manufacturer and assurances of follow-up by assigned specialists, no direct contact or resolution was provided. My wife will no longer drive the vehicle because it has stalled due to software loads, and we can’t park it in our garage in fear of fire and there are other recalls as well. We bought it because it was electric and Jeep advised you should not plug it in to charge the battery.

We are aware of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe software update which basically disables the Wrangler and have been diligent about selecting the red x to not accept the update. This morning on my son’s way to work the update went through anyway resulting in a loss of power forcing him to stop the vehicle. Thankfully he was able to limp the Jeep to our local service station where the firmware over the air update “fix” was able to be applied and the vehicle is functioning again. This is a major concern for several reasons, he was a minute away from one of the busiest interstates in new york, where this could have been a very serious incident, second the vehicle updated regardless of user input to defer or not install. Had we not have been prepared for this because of social media, not Jeep, this would have had serious implications.

The car installed an upgrade over the air, in the background, and while driving it shut down. It flashes the screens and shut down while in drive on a busy road. Steering wheel locked and had to turn on and off aeveral times just to move slowly to the side away from oncoming vehicles. After looking online, found article about this issue across the country in the models, and tried the reset instructions. Eventually was able to keep it on and drive slowly to the dealer about 25miles away. They've had it since yesterday saying they reaching out to engineering unable to figure out how to fix.

It updated the software then after that while I was driving the car suddenly died. Lost power. Almost got hit from behind but I was lucky to be able to get on the shoulder.

After installing an ota update . The vehicle kept stalling while I was driving it . It stalled 3 times in less than half a mile . Completely stops midway all lights on dashboard start flashing asking to be put on park then start . This is extremely dangerous while driving especially on freeways. I almost got rearended at least 3 times when this happened. My safety and the safety of everyone on the road that day was risked.

2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe , power loss twice after recall was completed in 2022. Incident after recall completed. 1st - power loss, turtle sign. Got stuck in hope bc, canada. Ecu flash fixed it, chilliwack, bc. 57000 miles roughly. Hv battery voltage sensor ckt performance issue. 2nd time- 62000 miles roughly, abrupt power loss on a highway, driving in passing lane 75mph, engine check lights on, after few secs full power loss, all lights on. After 30 mins of park mode, all lights went away. Towed it to dealership. They ordered a part, and is still stuck at dealership, since 15 days. Used my judgement & managed to safely coast and avoided risk of any incident. Turtle sign, and I think and something with battery verbiage popped up. Couldn't take an image as was in reactive mode. Parked and turned off the engine, called tow truck. After coming back from home waiting on a tow truck, turned on the car. All lights gone. Dealership found dtc's , crown Jeep dublin perimeter drive, but couldn't recreate as per my knowledge, at this time. I am hoping dealership might fix my car soon. I am reaching out to let you know the recall countermeasure didnt fix the issue. Please push Jeep for a permanent hard countermeasure, not a band aid. It's not just a severe inconvenience, but major risk for accidents on road. Dealership told me other cars came in for similar issue, due to ota update for 24my and 25my 4xe's, and it was not applied on my car 21my. Thanks.

Car flashed “shift to park”, stalled in an intersection and now check engine light is on. This is related to Jeep’s ridiculous and unacceptable software issue. Despite a “fix” being allegedly issued by Jeep, this issue still happened today November 14th despite me never accepting their flawed software update. This is an alarming safety issue.

Driving down road, approximately 25 mph the Jeep abruptly stopped, nothing no power to any part of the vehicle , loss of drive power. Thankfully no one was behind me for sure I would have been hit in the rear, I am so afraid to drive the vehicle , as this has happened on two occasions late September and October 14 2025. Already. The dealer confirmed it as I sent a picture of the dash board that was taken the second incident , with all the things that lit up. No not one time was there any warning, messages or lights prior to incident. I contacted deaership to make apt was told "dont bring it in" there is no remedy, "ican give you the 800 number for Chrysler/Jeep" early November I got recall notice for the battery that could "go on fire" or "blow up" - I called and the dealer gave me an appointment for 1/20/26 - 3 months??? iasked if they can also address the 2nd recall for this problem that has occurred 2 times out of nowhere was told we will go over this when you come in. I requested a loaner car thats why they made my apt 3 months away, they claim didnt have a loaner until then. Went on 1/20/26 the tech called me twice once to tell me there is no remedy to fix ac7 problem and they will see what can be done about "battery issue recall, called again asking ridiculous questions like how are you charging the vehicle, are you using an after market charger, as if you didnt lease me this vehichle with the charge. . . I felt like they where trying to say any issue was my fault. I sent the tech a text to let him know that I really am not comfortable picking up the vehicle without the no remedy for the issue and concerned for my safety and the safety of my family. He said "you should be alright" "you should be ok to drive", I told him that I wasn't reassured that I "should" be ok??? I said I wanted to discuss getting a loaner or replacement vehicle, he said that was not going to happen & if I didnt pick the vehicle I would be charged $50/day for loaner.
