2024 Jeep Wrangler Recalls & Complaints

Incident: October 27, 2026 · Filed: October 28, 2026

Since the 68C Recall software update was performed on my Jeep, the vehicle has experienced recurring, unexpected losses of motive power while driving in Electric Mode. During these events, pressing the accelerator yields no response. Moments later, an "Electric Mode Unavailable" warning displays, followed by the gasoline engine starting and causing the vehicle to surge forward. This phenomenon occurs unpredictably—typically when the hybrid battery charge drops below 45–50%—and has occurred twice in the past week alone, nearly causing a rear-end collision each time. I previously submitted the vehicle to the dealership for repair, but no corrective action was taken. The dealership advised that the vehicle operates normally according to post-recall software parameters designed to prevent battery overheating. However, forcing an unprompted loss of motive power in active traffic creates a critical safety hazard.

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.

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)

I recently took my Jeep Wrangler in for 3 recalls last week and as soon as I got it back, my vehicle was not driving correctly after the 68c software update was completed. It feels like it is stuck in the wrong gear when driving and comes to a rapid stop even on highway when I let my foot off the gas without braking. I'm afraid this will cause me to get rear ended wreck. It feels like I'm driving with the emergency brake on at all times. It uses so much more gas that before the recall. My father took my vehicle in for the recall because I have been out of state working and he noticed the issue as soon as he tried to drive off. He took it back and told them it was not driving correctly and worried and they said it was fine and ignored the issue. I feel I can not drive my vehicle anymore for safety reasons.

On 8/16/2026 the vehicle seized completely while driving. No power. No steering. No brakes. Obv my safety and the safety of the passengers in the vehicles and trucks that had to avoid me was serious. My vehicle was towed to the closest dealership for repair. I picked the 'repaired' vehicle up on 9/23/26. Within a few miles of leaving the dealership with said repair, the vehicle once again lost all power while driving. No power. No brakes. No steering. This was on a 55mph highway and the safety risk for me and others was severe! As of today (10/25/2026) the vehicle is still in the dealership with multiple but unsuccessful repair attempts.

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe models. Sudden loss of power while driving up hill in the electric mode. It would not go over 59 miles per hour and then it switched over to hybrid all on its own. This happened a few times and I could not go fast enough on the freeway. The next week the check engine light was on along with, engine warning light: service battery charging system and it would not start. I have a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sahara. All recalls are up to date. My jeep suddenly lost acceleration while I was driving. It happened more than once, including a frightening situation when my vehicle rapidly slowed from approximately 65-59-45. My Jeep was subsequently towed to the dealership.

I am reporting a serious safety concern involving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X 4xe following Recall 68C (NHTSA 25V-741). After the recall software update, my vehicle experienced a significant reduction in electric-mode power and acceleration. Electric mode has become practically unusable and potentially dangerous, especially during highway driving. Before the update, electric mode provided adequate and predictable acceleration. Following the update, the vehicle struggles to deliver sufficient power when merging onto highways, entering fast-moving traffic, passing other vehicles, or accelerating uphill. This creates serious safety risks because drivers need reliable acceleration to safely navigate traffic and avoid collisions. The reduced power makes it difficult to match highway speeds or respond quickly to changing road conditions. I am extremely concerned that a recall intended to address a high-voltage battery safety issue may have introduced another safety hazard by significantly restricting electric propulsion performance. This is not simply a customer dissatisfaction issue. It directly affects vehicle safety and my confidence in operating the vehicle in electric mode. I request that NHTSA investigate whether Recall 68C introduced software restrictions affecting electric-motor power and acceleration, determine whether other Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners face similar risks, and require Stellantis to provide an effective remedy. A safety recall should not create additional hazards or compromise the vehicle's ability to accelerate safely and predictably.

My most serious complaint concerns the vehicle’s behavior following completion of the 68C / NHTSA 25V-741 high-voltage battery recall software update. Since that update, I have experienced reductions in electric-drive power, hesitation, and unexpected engagement of the gasoline engine while driving. The resulting delay in power delivery is particularly concerning when merging into traffic or passing another vehicle, when predictable acceleration is essential. While turning right at an intersection, I have personally experienced reduction of power followed by engagement of the ICE resulting in an unexpected delay in vehicle speed control. I have experienced this scenario multiple times and also when merging onto the hwy. There were no warning lamps or messages. When discussed with the dealership, I was told that this is now the normal operation of the vehicle, but would not explain what changes were made or how it works. This is unacceptable and can put myself or other Jeep 4xe owners at risk.

Since getting the recalls done on my vehicle, I have experienced loss of power, acceleration & automatic dry engine start while in “electric mode”. This seems to happen when vehicle reaches a certain temp. I live in [XXX] so it is always hot! Example: I’ll be driving at highway speed or going up an incline and all of a sudden I will lose propulsion and eventually the engine will cold start even when I have plenty of battery % left! This is scary as this never happened before I had the recalls done! I have several concerns. First, there is a safety risk with loss of propulsion, also I have concern on future engine wear from cold starts at speed.
