1 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 10/26/2026

National highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA) formal vehicle safety complaint date: [xxx] complainant: [xxx] vehicle: 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe sahara manufacturer: Jeep / stellantis selling dealership: mohawk Honda, new york purchase date: [xxx] mileage at purchase: 17,092 miles mileage at [xxx]: 23,144 miles mileage at [xxx]: 23,328 miles date of safety incidents: [xxx] stellantis case number: [xxx] 1. Nature of safety complaint I am reporting two serious incidents of sudden and unexpected loss of propulsion involving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe sahara. Both incidents occurred on [xxx], shortly after I picked up my vehicle from Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of clifton park, new york, following recall-related service. During both incidents, my vehicle abruptly decelerated from approximately 50 miles per hour to approximately 20 miles per hour while traveling uphill. During the second incident, another vehicle was following behind me and nearly rear-ended my Jeep. I am extremely concerned that this defect creates a substantial risk of serious injury or death, particularly when traveling on highways or in heavy traffic. 2. Vehicle purchase and initial service history I purchased this vehicle used from mohawk Honda on [xxx], with 17,092 miles documented on the purchase paperwork. Before purchasing the Jeep, I specifically asked whether there were any outstanding safety recalls. I was informed that there were none. . Requested NHTSA investigation I respectfully request that NHTSA: 1. Document both sudden loss-of-propulsion incidents involving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe sahara. 2. Investigate whether these incidents are associated with safety recall a7c, recall 78c, or another vehicle defect. 3. Review the circumstances surrounding the vehicle's release following recall service. 4. Examine the relationship, if any, between the loss-of-propulsion incidents and the subsequent requirement for an information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2019 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 10/17/2026

My 2019 Jeep Wrangler jl has developed a severe, recurring electrical malfunction that causes multiple vehicle systems to fail simultaneously, resulting in unexpected loss of propulsion and the vehicle automatically shifting into park without driver input. The issue initially began with an intermittent “service shifter” warning, particularly when driving over bumps or braking. At first, the vehicle continued operating normally. After several weeks, the problem progressively worsened. Now, numerous dashboard warning lights illuminate simultaneously, including the battery, oil pressure, and brake indicators. The speedometer fluctuates erratically, and warnings such as “service electronic stability control” appear. The vehicle begins jerking, slowing down unexpectedly, and eventually loses propulsion. It may initially continue moving, but the malfunction progresses until the vehicle shifts into park without my input, preventing further operation. During one extremely dangerous incident, the vehicle malfunctioned and became disabled in the fast lane of [xxx], leaving me stranded in active highway traffic. I discovered that physically pressing down on electrical components connected to the dashboard fuse box sometimes temporarily restores normal operation after restarting the vehicle. However, the malfunction continues to recur and has become increasingly frequent. My VIN shows no outstanding safety recalls, but I am concerned about a potential electrical, wiring, power distribution, or electronic communication defect. The exact cause has not been diagnosed. I have video evidence of the dashboard malfunction and warning messages. I am requesting an investigation because this unpredictable failure creates a serious collision risk, particularly at highway speeds. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

3 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 10/05/2026

Vehicle reflects a code of c2200. It is due to a faulty abs module that controls the antilock brake system, traction w and cruise control. The remedy is to replace the part (part number 68259556ad). This part has been on national back order for several years now with no anticipated date of release. The manufacturer has indicated it will not be made. This is a safety item that not only affects the performance of the vehicle but limits it resale value. Numerous vehicles from 2011-2017 models have been affected.

4 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 09/29/2026

I was driving and had a sudden loss of power. My gas pedal would not respond. I had to put my car in park and out of hybrid so my gas engine would come on.

5 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 09/24/2026

My Jeep Wrangler sahara 4xe experienced a sudden and severe loss of motive power while making a left turn onto us route 301 at a major intersection. When the traffic light turned green, I attempted to accelerate through the intersection, but the vehicle suddenly entered what is commonly referred to as “turtle mode” and would only travel approximately 2 mph. This left the vehicle moving extremely slowly in an active major roadway and created an immediate risk of being struck by approaching traffic. I activated the hazard lights and had to make an emergency maneuver to move the vehicle to the right and out of the travel lanes. This is the fourth time this vehicle has experienced a sudden loss of power/turtle mode condition. The problem is intermittent and occurs without sufficient warning to safely remove the vehicle from traffic. Warning indicators/messages associated with the reduced-power condition appeared when the failure occurred. The vehicle was previously taken to an authorized Jeep dealership for this same recurring problem and remained there for approximately one month. The dealership was unable to determine the cause of the repeated turtle mode/loss-of-power condition and was unable to provide a repair that resolved it. The manufacturer’s customer care department was also contacted regarding the problem, but the case was subsequently closed even though the condition had not been resolved. Following the incident, Jeep roadside assistance was contacted and the vehicle was towed to another authorized Jeep dealership, where it is currently available for inspection and diagnosis. The vehicle also has open recall. The exact relationship, if any, between the recall and this repeated loss-of-motive-power condition is unknown. I am reporting this because the sudden loss of propulsion has now occurred four times and can leave the vehicle unable to accelerate or maintain normal roadway speed.

6 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2023 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 09/21/2026

While driving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler sahara 4xe at approximately 70 mph in hybrid mode the vehicle suddenly and without warning experienced a complete loss of propulsion while I was traveling in traffic. The vehicle would no longer respond normally to the accelerator and I was unable to maintain speed. The drive (d) indicator began flashing and multiple warning lights and messages appeared on the instrument cluster. I specifically remember the red battery/charging-system warning being illuminated. The dashboard also displayed a warning relating to the power/charging system and a message instructing me to shift or put the vehicle into park. I had to get the vehicle safely out of moving traffic. This was extremely frightening because the loss of propulsion occurred suddenly at highway speed and could have resulted in a serious collision. This vehicle has previously been brought to an authorized Jeep dealership multiple times for recalls/service involving the battery/electrical/12-volt system. On a previous occasion, the vehicle also failed to start while parked in my garage. After this highway incident occurred and after I was eventually able to get the vehicle operating again, my husband disconnected the 12-volt battery in an attempt to perform a hard reset. The battery was disconnected after the loss-of-propulsion event and therefore did not precede the highway failure. The vehicle is currently at an authorized Jeep dealership for diagnosis. I have asked the dealership to document the complete loss of propulsion, retrieve any available stored, pending, history or permanent diagnostic trouble codes, and determine the cause of the failure. I am reporting this incident because I am very concerned that an electrical, hybrid, battery, charging or powertrain defect may cause the vehicle to suddenly lose motive power again while being driven. A sudden loss of propulsion at highway speed presents a serious safety risk to the occupants of this vehicle and to other motorists.

7 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 09/06/2026

While driving my 2021 Jeep Wrangler on the highway, the vehicle displayed a warning indicating a malfunction with the electronic throttle control system. Immediately following the warning, the vehicle experienced a significant loss of acceleration and would not respond normally to accelerator pedal input. The vehicle subsequently began accelerating/surging without my commanding the acceleration. The unintended acceleration was significant enough that I had to apply the brakes to prevent the vehicle from striking traffic ahead of me. This created an extremely dangerous situation because the vehicle's acceleration became unpredictable, alternating between loss of accelerator response and acceleration that I did not command. The vehicle is a 2021 Jeep Wrangler, VIN [xxx]. I am reporting this because I believe the electronic throttle control/powertrain malfunction and resulting unintended acceleration present a serious vehicle safety concern. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

8 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2012 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 09/02/2026

Warning lights for traction control parking brake and abs are all on. Diagnosis is a bad brake control modular. Dealer said it is super common and a defective part. They want $3000. 00 to fix it but mopar does not make the part anymore so they cant help me anyway unless I bring them one from a junkyard. Jeep forum says do not drive the vehicle with a bad brake controller, and I quote the mechanic "abs module failure poses a clear and present danger to drivers, passengers, and others on the road”. So now what do I do? cant get the part, the manufacturer does not make the part, and the vehicle is a hazard on the road. Stelantis knows this is an issue for every Jeep Wrangler owner but does nothing to assist. They won't even produce a replacement part. Please force Jeep to do the right thing and fix our abs modulars.

9 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/28/2026

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.

10 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/27/2026

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.

11 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/25/2026

Since the 68c recall, my 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe has not behaved normally and has become increasingly unpredictable. Even with a mostly or nearly full battery, it frequently will not operate in pure electric mode at lower speeds, particularly on even slight inclines. The gas engine can suddenly start when I am expecting electric operation, sometimes accompanied by hesitation, lurching, or an abrupt change in power delivery. I have genuine safety concerns with the vehicle because I cannot reliably predict how it will respond to accelerator input. There have been instances of reduced or delayed power followed by sudden engagement, which is especially concerning when pulling into traffic, crossing an intersection, merging, or maneuvering on a hill. These problems began following the 68c recall, and the vehicle's current behavior does not feel normal, consistent, or safe.

12 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2023 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/25/2026

The high voltage battery failed to charge, power surges and power drops while on highway plus burning smell. Charger stopped charging and gave warning light. No one was able to replicate so I was forced to take vehicle back. I am in las vegas and asked if this could be the issue. No one could verify or give me advice. Having done my own investigations I see high temperatures can affect and cause thermal fires. The manufacturer is not taking this seriously and also dealers in nevada where it is excessively over recommended temperatures to charge should be making owners of these vehicles aware or don’t sell them in the state. I have been treated appallingly from everyone trying to ensure my safety. Although I was lucky there was no serious incident I believe this will happen. Furthermore with the fires in ev or hybrids, why if excessive heat is an issue, are the fires not being investigated as to where and what states. I thought NHTSA was there to protect and provide safety information for manufacturers to follow. I am being left to drive a vehicle in which me my family and others are being put in danger.

13 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/25/2026

My 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid had the 68c recall performed at a Jeep dealer. My vehicle was working flawlessly prior to this recall. After the recall was performed, the vehicle hybrid battery system now loses power when accelerating. For example, driving 45 mph in electric mode on a level road for a minute causes the speed to reduce regardless of acceleration, with the exception of flooring the accelerator pedal which causes a surge of power from the gas engine, causing the vehicle to lurch forward. This creates an unsafe condition on the roadway as the vehicle cannot be reliably controlled. Often times now, the gas engine will surge when a vehicle is in front of me causing me to have to brake suddenly to avoid a collision. This problem persists with every drive under variable conditions. There are no warning lamps or messages besides, "electric mode temporarily unavailable," before it surges. The dealer has not re-inspected the vehicle since the service advisor told me after the recall, the vehicle will continuously assess the battery. He further stated if even the slightest problem is detected, the vehicle will shut down completely and I would need to get the vehicle towed. I find this recall solution to be totally unacceptable and unsafe for myself, my family, and other vehicles on the roadway. This situation needs to be investigated and Jeep should make this right for its customers.

14 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/22/2026

1: ever since one of the recalls was "addressed", the vehicle seems to lack power when taking off, etc. It seems like it lacks propulsion. 2: I was driving on the highway several times, and for no reason, the power reduces greatly and I am unable to go above 60 mph. The warning light (as seen in the attached) comes on and stays on until the vehicle is turned off. This has happened to me several times at different speeds (with and without adaptive cruise control on). I cannot seem to replicate this again, and, when the light comes on, it's been at times that I was unable to take it to the dealer with the light on. It sat at my local dealer for about 3 weeks cumulative as of lately, and they could not get the light to come on. They even got a ta to come out, and they couldn't find the issue or cause the light to go on. Keep in mind. . . This is a leased vehicle, and miles matter. I took the car back since I cannot continue paying for a rental (even though they eventually may reimburse me). I have had several issues with this vehicle throughout the life of the lease. I cannot wait to turn it in or possibly involve a lawyer for a lemon law issue. I cannot continue paying what I do for my lease and not having a reliable vehicle to drive. I'm paying a premium payment and am not comfortable driving this car anymore. It is a safety hazard with not knowing when this warning light and lack of power will occur. Please make stellantis/Jeep make this right!! I loved my Wrangler, but the risks of driving it are not acceptable.

15 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/14/2026

Following the completion of the 68c recall update on 4/17/26 my 2024 Jeep 4xe experiences a severe loss of acceleration and throttle lag at highway speeds (over 50 mph) when in electric mode. When attempting to pass vehicles (and sometimes when in the oncoming traffic lane), or when just trying to maintain speed in traffic, the drivetrain abruptly throttles power; causing the vehicle to bog down and hesitate. There is no ability to accelerate and care slows. The gas pedal is essentially useless. The gas engine then performs a panic start, causing the vehicle to lurch forward at highway speeds. It has created and dangerous driving condition when passing, merging or just trying to keep pace the traffic around me. There is no way to know exactly when it will happen, so the unpredictability makes it even more dangerous. I understand this is an issue with many Jeep 4xe since the 68c recall update. It has happened to me 4 times now, the most recent was today. This is unacceptable.

16 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/13/2026

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.

17 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/12/2026

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.

18 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/07/2026

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.

19 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/01/2026

Abs module failed forcing Jeep into limp mode. The Jeep dealership said the part is on indefinite back order. C2200.

20 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/13/2026

While driving from [xxx] to [xxx], the vehicle experienced two sudden loss-of-propulsion events at highway speed. During the first incident in downtown [xxx], cruise control disengaged, the transmission abruptly downshifted, and the accelerator became largely unresponsive. The vehicle rapidly lost speed in traffic, and another vehicle nearly rear-ended me because I could not maintain speed or accelerate. The engine remained running, but the vehicle appeared to enter reduced-power or limp mode. I pulled over, shut the vehicle off, and restarted it. Normal throttle operation temporarily returned. The check-engine light and “stop/start not available” warning remained illuminated. After approximately three hours of otherwise normal driving, I activated cruise control again. The same condition immediately returned: cruise disengaged, the transmission downshifted, throttle response was lost, and the vehicle rapidly decelerated. Restarting again restored normal operation. This unexpected loss of propulsion created a serious collision risk because the vehicle abruptly slowed in moving highway traffic without allowing me to accelerate out of danger. The problem appears directly associated with cruise-control activation, although the exact mechanical or electronic cause is unknown. The vehicle has approximately 40,300 miles, was purchased as Jeep certified pre-owned, and had a new oem battery installed by an authorized Jeep dealership shortly after purchase. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate similar reports involving sudden throttle loss, abrupt downshifting, reduced-power operation, or loss of propulsion at highway speeds. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

21 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/04/2026

On xxx at approximately 1000am, [xxx] was driving the Jeep on [xxx] at a speed of 72mph. The vehicle was in e-save mode and had 16 miles of battery life remaining. [xxx] switched over to electric mode and slowly began to lose speed. She put the accelerator all the way to the floor, but the gas motor did not activate. The Jeep dropped slowly down to 62mph where it leveled off. Shortly thereafter she exited the highway, so she was able to come off the accelerator. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

22 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/04/2026

On xxx at approximately 1002am, [xxx] was on the exit ramp from [xxx] northbound to [xxx]. At the end of the ramp, she stopped and tried to make a left turn onto [xxx] northbound. The vehicle was still in electric mode (plenty of battery life remaining). The Jeep crawled through the intersection, with the accelerator all the way to the floor. [xxx] feared that she would be struck by oncoming traffic. The gas motor did not activate until sometime after she cleared the intersection. At that point there was a message on the dashboard "electric mode unavailable". The Jeep switched itself to hybrid mode. For the next two miles the Jeep ran utilizing the gasoline engine. The Jeep traveled erratically. It would slightly speed up and then slightly slow down. It was unable to maintain a constant speed. After two miles [xxx] stopped at a red light. The gasoline motor shut off. When the light turned green, she was able to easily travel the next mile home utilizing battery power only. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

23 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/26/2026

When I am driving I will lose power and not be able to drive while I am in the middle of a road driving. And I have to turn my car completely off to let it start back up. The dealership doesn’t not seem to have any more suggestions or recommendations. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle. This keeps happening.

24 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/22/2026

On 6-22-26 at approximately 1035 am, I was traveling southbound on rte 140 in taunton. I was in the left lane, traveling at a speed of approximately 55 mph. The Jeep was in electric mode. I attempted to accelerate so that I could get around a tanker truck. I pressed down on the accelerator, but my speed only went up to 56 mph before slowly starting to come down. I pressed harder on the accelerator, but my speed continued to drop. There was a vehicle traveling close behind me that was clearly getting aggravated by my slow speed (posted 65mph zone). I came off the accelerator and moved into the right lane. At this point the gas engine finally came on and gave me additional acceleration power.

25 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/17/2026

On [xxx] at approximately [xxx] pm I was at the intersection of [xxx] and [xxx]. When the light turned green I attempted to make a left turn. The Jeep was in e-save mode, but the gas engine was not on at the time. I stepped on the accelerator, but the vehicle moved very slowly through the turn, no matter how hard I pressed down on the accelerator (electric motor engaged at this time). I feared that I would get struck by other vehicles due to the very slow rate of speed. When I cleared the intersection, the gas motor finally turned on and supplied me with the required amount of acceleration. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

26 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/16/2026

After the latest 68c recall fix, Jeep has adjusted the behavior of how the vehicle's electric mode operates. When the battery gets to a certain temperature when driving, the engine is supposed to turn on (to prevent the fire risk hazard). However, instead of the vehicle making the powertrain switch, the vehicle power will just stop. The pedal will go to the floor but no forward movement. It is dangerous in many driving situations, like the highway or among other vehicles when mine unexpectedly stops. Jeep has tried to fix this exact issue in 3 separate recalls, but it still occurs. They should buy back the vehicles as they seem to not be able to fix and they are not safe to drive.

27 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/15/2026

Ever since the 68c recall I have had a multitude of safety related issues with my vehicle. It appears that in order to protect themselves from a known faulty hybrid battery pack Jeep has reprogramed the vehicle to reduce power. While driving in electric or hybrid mode the vehicle will suddenly lose power creating an unexpected power delivery (ie. One minute you have plenty of power to pass a slower vehicle for example then all of a sudden, you lose that power mid pass). Once power loss occurs the vehicle will start acting extremely erratic with the gas engine kicking on and off and revving high for no reason, constant gear changes etc. A substantial delay occurs between pushing the gas pedal and power delivery, dramatically increasing the vehicles response time to a necessary acceleration, etc. I have inquired to my local dealership about these issues multiple times but am always told by the service advisor that they are not aware of any problems which I know is not true as the online forums are filled with hundreds of stories of near crashes, etc and that Jeep has extended the battery warranty to "unlimited" acknowledging that there is an issue. The problem is that when these batteries fail (and mine has and has been replaced) they replace them with the same defective part.

28 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/10/2026

There has been an extreme loss of power after the 68c recall making it very unsafe when trying to accelerate. Eventually the car just died and was towed to the dealer.

29 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2010 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/10/2026

Most of the dash lights are on scan code u1412. Says traction control not working, abs not working, speedometer not working, and airbags not working. The power control module (pcm) needs replaced. A known issue with the Jeep Wrangler jks. No one stocks the parts and used ones are way over priced. How can Jeep not have to replace it or at least stock a replacement part that has the issues resolved?.

30 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2023 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 05/24/2026

On two separate occasions, documented with the dealership, while driving, the Jeep failed to accelerate and instead decelerated. On one occasion, this occurred while I was in a single lane on ramp merging onto a highway and reached approximately 45mph. On a separate occasion, I was just pulling out of my subdivision and reaching approximately 30-35 mph when the same issue occurred. Both times, I pulled the vehicle to the side of the road as best as possible, and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle often fails to turn off, as it should. The vehicle has also failed to turn on as it should. The center screen turned off for a full trip. There is only approximately 15k miles on this 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The dealership most recently had the vehicle for 6 days but could not replicate the problem in 30 miles and there were no stored error codes besides two related to the radio generated by the hvac module and the bcm module. An arbitrator found: although the customer had established proof of a nonconformity that could substantially impair the safety of the vehicle, I find that there have not been an unreasonable number of repair attempts nor days out of service. I have received three vehicle recalls warning of vehicle fire that have no known recall repair for months.

31 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 05/23/2026

Unsure of the part or system that failed, however the auxiliary battery and power distribution system part was replaced previously and did not correct the problem. My safety was at risk when the speed and steering were affected. An independent service center worked on it and reproduced it. The car electronic system went through every warning light system while driving. "stop/start not ready", "engine light", "airbag light", "service electronic stability control", serv 4wd, abs, brake, "service airbag system", tire pressure monitoring, seatbelt light, "speed control messaging unavailable service required", and gas light all came on while driving. Speed was reduced and steering wheel locked up and released several times during the event.

32 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 05/22/2026

The abs control module has internal problem which shuts down the module. Results of the module shut down includes: -the stability and traction systems are offline. -a failure in the abs module or hydraulic unit. -cruise control inoperable. -the module no longer modulates brake pressure, which can result in brakes locking. Currently, mopar has stopped production of this item, so there is no method to replace a failed or non-working module with an original part.

33 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 05/07/2026

The dash lights constantly indicate that the abs and traction control systems are activated. The vehicle is also producing code c1073, indicating that the abs control module must be replaced, however mopar does not have any replacements, new or rebuilt, available.

34 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 05/04/2026

Started car and check engine light was on. Started to drive it and the battery and other lights came on. Engine sounded funny and electric motor was not available. As I was trying I needed to pull off because it was not moving smoothly and was jerky. I pulled over into a parking lot and put in park and the lights indicated it was in charging mode. After repeated attempts to turn the vehicle completely off I was able to. When I was able to finally turn it back on it the engine was very loud. While driving the car would accelerate when I did not have my foot on the brake and was getting warm inside the cabin. At random times the battery light and a red turtle would appear saying the speed was being limited. This happened repeatedly. The following day on the way to try to bring it to the dealership to fix it the speed was increasing while on flat ground unless I had foot on break and then the red turtle would come back on. I determined it was unsafe to drive and requested a tow to the dealership.
