Vehicle dropped off at the McGovern Chrysler Jeep dealership in Newton, MA on March 31, complete transmission failure, vehicle has active recall 25V-741 and resolved recalls including 25V-766 (engine sand contamination affecting propulsion).
See attached document for complaint.
I own a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe (VIN: 1C4JJXR66PW627097). The instrument cluster/dashboard intermittently shuts off while driving, resulting in complete loss of speedometer, warning indicators, and critical driver information. This creates a significant safety hazard, as I am unable to monitor vehicle speed or receive warnings while the vehicle is in motion. In January 2026, I took the vehicle to the dealership for this same issue. The instrument cluster was repaired under warranty/customer satisfaction repair. However, the exact same problem has now returned. My vehicle is not currently included in Recall 30B, but the symptoms are consistent with that recall involving instrument cluster failure. I am concerned that this defect may affect additional vehicles not currently covered. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and consider expanding Recall 30B to include vehicles like mine. I have video evidence showing the dashboard shutting off while driving and will provide it as part of this complaint. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ab3NkolHPv66es_vrzSiFKLN83ezv5LC
I am the original owner of a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sport with approximately 16,240 miles. The vehicle is completely unmodified. I am reporting a serious safety defect involving the steering and suspension system. When driving at highway speeds (50 mph and above), the vehicle experiences a violent front‑end oscillation whenever it encounters a bump, uneven pavement, or bridge expansion joints. The steering wheel rapidly shakes left to right, and the entire vehicle shudders for 5 to 10 seconds. The oscillation does not stop until I slow the vehicle down to below 45 mph. This issue is reproducible and occurs frequently on rough or uneven road surfaces at highway speeds. During these events, I temporarily lose the ability to maintain proper steering control, creating a dangerous situation for myself, my passengers, and other drivers. This condition is commonly referred to as “Death Wobble,” and it makes the vehicle unsafe to operate. Given the severity of this defect and the safety risk it poses, I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and that Jeep/Stellantis address the defect under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty (3‑year/36,000‑mile basic warranty). The front‑end suspension components—including the track bar, steering damper, ball joints, and related parts—should be inspected and repaired as necessary to eliminate this hazardous oscillation.
Parked my 2023 Wrangler 4xe for about three hours. When I started driving again the brake pedal was hard and it took way longer than normal to stop. No warning lights, no codes on the OBD reader. Toggling max regen on and off made no difference. Power cycling the vehicle didn’t fix it. Pads are warm so the calipers are engaging, but there’s very little stopping force behind them. I would guess there is an electrical issue with the regenerative breaking system or brake vacuum.
1. The Hybrid Battery , yes, Jeep is at dealer since 3/12/25. After daily calls to get updates, including voicemails and emails to service rep and Manager several times, Finally was advised on 3/25/26 (13 days) that it needs the part and will be at least 4-6 weeks more, no loaner, no info, nothing else was provided other then to call Jeep cares to file a complaint--you can imagine how that went---they referred me back to the dealer but did open a complaint/ 2. was advised car could go on fire at any time, thank God I was not driving it at the time. 3. seems its a known common problem and current recall. 4. Inspected by Rockland jeep dealer and still sitting there. 5. no warning signs prior to car not starting. car is a lease and the lease expires prior to getting the car back, I called chrysler leasing and they directed me to call the dealer, called Jeep cares and they advised still waiting on rental authorization so I can get a rental car (which I would have to pay for and trust they will reimburse me- after all this, I do not trust them) , also they said to call the dealer after opening up a case. Bottom line, I am 16 days in , with 4-6 weeks to go with no car, no options as of this claim. I pay 700 a month for this lease and I will be out 2 months---I just asked them to extend it for the 2 months on them or keep the Jeep, Chrysler advised again to call dealer as they cannot do any of that. The dealer not advising me for 2 weeks what ( per Jeep cares) takes 10 minutes to diagnose, not providing a loaner after a week calling for one. I do not know what to do other then start to call lemon law attys?
I am reporting a safety-related electrical failure involving the heated steering wheel system in a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. While driving, the heated steering wheel malfunctioned and produced smoke from the steering wheel area. This created an immediate safety concern due to the presence of smoke and the potential for electrical overheating or fire in a critical driver control component. This was not an isolated incident. The same system required a prior repair under warranty in late 2023. Despite that repair, the failure recurred in late 2025 with more severe symptoms, including overheating and damage to electrical components. The vehicle was taken out of service for repair, and the total time out of service related to this issue was approximately 115 days due to parts delays and repair time. The problem was confirmed and repaired by authorized dealerships, including replacement of the steering wheel and related electrical components. There were no meaningful warning indicators prior to the failure. The issue occurred during normal operations. The repeated failure of the same system, combined with smoke and electrical malfunction in the steering wheel, raises concern about a potential defect that could pose a safety risk to drivers and passengers.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 24V111000 (Visibility), and 25V741000 (Electrical System); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds with Hybrid Mode activated, the vehicle shuddered abnormally. While attempting to defrost the front windshield, the defroster took longer than normal to defrost the windshield. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
UNKNOWN
Following 2nd battery recall, acceleration, especially with the electric on, is sluggish and then suddenly electric fails and gas engine kicks in with a lurch. Electric no longer has the power it did prior to the recall and this provides uncertain acceleration for entering freeway from onramps or during other periods of needed acceleration.
On July 3rd I was driving on the highway, and the Jeep went into limp mode. When it ran out of the electric charge, it didn’t switch over to the gas engine and became un-drivable. I brought it to a Jeep service center and they kept it until July 7th. They were not able to figure out why that happened, but obviously it is part of the recall.
I am submitting this complaint regarding a safety concern with my Jeep following the completion of Recall 68C. Since the recall service was performed, the vehicle has experienced significant issues when operating in hybrid mode. While driving in hybrid mode, the vehicle repeatedly switches back and forth between hybrid and electric operation. When the vehicle enters electric mode, the RPMs will suddenly spike and the vehicle will call for the gasoline engine. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the vehicle is unable to maintain electric power and immediately switches into gasoline mode. This behavior results in constant drivetrain shifting and erratic engine speed changes. The RPMs frequently jump from 0 RPM (electric operation) to approximately 3,000 RPM when the gasoline engine abruptly engages. The repeated transitions between electric and gasoline power create noticeable hesitation, jerking, and inconsistent acceleration. This issue began only after the Recall 68C service was completed and was not present beforehand. The repeated switching between propulsion modes appears abnormal and may pose a safety concern, particularly during acceleration or when merging into traffic where predictable vehicle response is critical. I am submitting this report so that this issue can be documented and investigated to determine whether the recall repair may have introduced or failed to correct a problem within the hybrid drivetrain system. 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4XE Unlimited
My 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe has been in the shop at Tameron Jeep in Daphne, AL for 37 consecutive days. After having the recall on the hybrid battery software performed, an engine light came on. When I returned it to Tameron service department, I was told the diagnostic scan showed a fault in the hybrid battery due to the recall software update. It has remained at the service department for 37 days without remedy. The service department says they are waiting on Stellantis to advise them and that they feel like Stellantis "Star Connect" tech line is requiring their service tech to perform the same repeated tests again and again to avoid approving the hybrid battery replacement. I have called Jeep customer care, opened a case twice, escalated, requested area manager, etc., and currently there is no update, plan of action, or timeline for repair. The service department said even after the battery replacement is approved (it has not been yet), it would be more than 30 days to get the new battery. So in addition to the current 37 days in service, it could potentially be another 30-60 plus days. I have been unable to get any help, any plan, any updates from Stellantis. The service department has been very understanding but they can't do anything further without approval from Stellantis. I'm still making payments and insurance on the vehicle.
Car began slipping not wanting to shift gears humming loudly and driving rough at 61k miles on a 2023. Being told it’s dclutch and possible transmission needed. No warning just out of nowhere
On 12/06/2025, I purchased a 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe from a Chrysler Jeep dealership in Myrtle Beach, SC. Recall 68C (NHTSA 25V741000) had been published on 11/05/2025 — one month prior to my purchase. The recall involves high voltage battery cells with separator damage that may cause a vehicle fire while parked or driving. A Stop Sale order was active on this VIN at the time of sale. I raised the recall and fire risk during the purchase. The salesperson responded that "a fire could happen in any car" and continued to minimize my wife's specific safety concerns through sustained pressure until we agreed to purchase. No documentation was provided showing the recall had been remedied prior to delivery. The recall remains OPEN as of today. Third-party vehicle history data confirms Stop Sale: YES tied to 68C. We cannot charge the vehicle or use it as intended. We are unable to obtain timely service — the dealership reports months-long wait times with no loaner vehicle available. The vehicle has not been inspected or repaired for this defect. No warning lamps were present at purchase. The vehicle was available for sale and delivered to us despite the active Stop Sale designation. The safety risk is ongoing. We are parked away from structures per NHTSA guidance and have ceased charging the vehicle. This complaint is being filed as part of a formal legal record.
I am writing to formally report a serious issue with my 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe following the second recall repair (Recall 68C) related to the high-voltage battery fire risk. In November 2025, my vehicle underwent the required recall service. The repair was completed at the end of December 2025. However, immediately after the repair, I began experiencing significant performance problems in Electric Mode. Specifically: The vehicle now has severely reduced power output when operating in pure electric mode. Acceleration is noticeably weak and inconsistent compared to its performance prior to the recall repair. The gasoline engine frequently engages even when sufficient battery charge is available and Electric Mode is selected. Before the recall service, the vehicle operated normally in Electric Mode without these issues. The current condition substantially affects drivability, fuel efficiency, and the overall value of the vehicle.
Steering damper has failed with 45,000 miles on vehilce and causing a dangerous shake on the highway affectionately konw as the "death wobble" among jeep owners. This was recalled in eariler models of my vehicle (2018-2021 4XE) but is occruing the same in my 20234XE. This part should have not worn out already and is causing a dangerous situation.
See attached document. Dear Jeep Customer Care and Chrysler Capital,I am writing to formally request the termination of my current lease agreement for my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, VIN: [XXX], due to the severe safety risk posed by NHTSA Recall 25V-74 l, concerning the high-voltage battery fire hazard.Due to the severity of this unaddressed safety hazard, I am unable to use the vehicle for its intended purpose.This significant safety defect renders inoperable as designed and intended for use, but more importantly the vehicle is unsafe and unsuitable for normal use, as it risks fire while driving or parked as stated in your recall notice.Your own notices further indicate not charge it as designed for normal function.Furthermore, I live in a townhome surrounded by other families now put at risk and cannot safely park this vehicle outside due to the extreme fire risk, making it impractical and unsafe for my living situation.This also puts others at risk when parked in parking structures at the airport that I frequent on a weekly basis.When the same recall occurred in late 2024, I waited for four months without resolution as Jeep developed a remedy.With the new recall, I immediately contacted Jeep customer service, who informed me on December 3, 2025, that no solution is currently available and none is anticipated until late Ql 2026 (as documented during my call with Riana, case #[XXX]).I was advised to contact Chrysler Capital regarding a potential lease suspension due to the seriousness of the recall.At 11am EST, I called Chrysler Capital and spoke with Maren (ID774178). After discussing my living situation and concerns about driving an unsafe vehicle with my [XXX], Maren placed me on hold and subsequently returned to inform me he had obtained approval fornot just a lease suspension, but a full early return with no further financial liability.He recommended that I visit my local dealer promptly to process the early lease return and advised me to discontinue further payments.Before concluding our conversation, I confirmed his instructions by stating, 11I want to confirm, I go to my local dealer for this lease return and upon processing of the paperwork I will not be liable for any more payments," which Maren affirmed.Following this guidance, I visited Classis CJDR in Pineville, NC, at 3pm on the same day, December 4th , 2025 where the necessary paperwork was completed.When I noticed the documents did not explicitly state that I was relieved from further payments, I consulted with the sales manager, Henry, who asked me to contact Chrysler Capital directly.Upon doing so, I spoke with advisor ID 756341, who then informed me that I would remain responsible for the remaining payments--contradicting the previous advisor's statement.Despite escalating the matter to his supervisor, Sumant (ID 735280),I was told there was nothing further they could do. I acted in accordance with the guidance provided by both Jeep Customer Service and Chrysler Capital Customer Service, under the understanding that both parties agreed to take repossession of an unsafe vehicle in good faith to ensure the safety of myself, my son, neighbors, other motorists, individuals in parking structures, and my passengers.I proceeded based on the instructions and processes communicated to me.This defect renders the plug-in hybrid vehicle's primary feature unusable, poses an unacceptable safety risk to myself, my family, and my property, and has no solution.I have attempted but have not received a satisfactory resolution for releasing me from this dangerous lease obligation.I demand Jeep and/or Chrysler Capital buy back this vehicle, terminate my lease agreement without penalty, and refund my $1800.00 down payment, as the vehicle's fundamental safety is compromised.In summary I request: 1.Immediate buyback and termination of my lease contract for VIN[XXX]. 2.Reimbursement of my down payme Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act(FOIA)5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The hybrid propulsion system in my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe intermittently malfunctions while driving. The “D” (Drive) indicator on the gear selector begins flashing, and the engine RPMs suddenly decrease without warning. During these events, the vehicle loses propulsion power and responsiveness. After several seconds, the vehicle may return to normal operation. This failure affects the hybrid powertrain and transmission system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This condition creates a serious safety risk because the sudden loss of propulsion reduces the vehicle’s ability to accelerate or maintain speed in traffic. This is especially dangerous when merging, crossing intersections, or driving at highway speeds, as it increases the risk of collision due to loss of power and reduced vehicle control. The vehicle has been evaluated by a Jeep dealership service department. The dealership has not provided a permanent repair, and the manufacturer recall affecting the hybrid system remains open and unresolved. The recall repair has not been performed, and the hybrid malfunction continues to occur. The vehicle has been inspected by dealership personnel, but the issue remains unresolved. The dealership indicated that replacing the 12-volt battery may help, but no definitive root cause has been identified, and the hybrid system malfunction continues. There were no battery warning lights prior to or during the failure. The primary symptom is the flashing “D” indicator and sudden decrease in RPMs, followed by temporary recovery. This indicates a malfunction of the hybrid propulsion system. This unresolved hybrid system failure presents an ongoing safety hazard and loss of propulsion while driving.
After first month the trouble began. It’s a diesel. Many times this car has stalled in traffic — while stopped in traffic and while driving at high speeds. Everything just turns off and steering wheel locks up. It says to put in park. After many tries to start, it will turn back on. Has been taken to dealer many times and nothing has worked. I’ve left Jeep there for months at a time, and they still can’t fix it. This is a safety hazard. Someone might get killed by this. How can this be allowed? We need help desperately.
There is another recall 2nd one for this vehicle that now I cannot charge it . Park near other vehicles or in my garage due to fear of fire. Dealership says they are doing approx 1-2 a month and I am #59 on the list. I have not been offered a replacement vehicle. They told me I could not trade it in because it is “unsellable”.
On 1/19/2026 I had my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe serviced at a Jeep dealership to have recall 68C corrected. I received a call from the dealership later that day stating a new battery was not needed, only a software update was needed. They completed the software update. On 1/31/2026 when I started my Jeep in the morning, the check engine light was on. After stopping at a red light, my Jeep felt like it was losing power. To get it to move, I had to push the pedal down to the floor, the Jeep jerked some and did drive but felt like it was going to shut down. I pulled in the parking spot. Turned the car off and tried to turn it back on. It would not start. The red battery light appeared, a symbol of a charger (accel.), and an error message stating, "service charging system". None the hybrid options were available and electronic mode showed not available. I had to have the Jeep towed to the dealership that recently completed the recall. The Jeep did start when the tow truck driver arrived, but I was worried that it would stall and leave me stranded on the beltway. On 2/2/2026 I received a call from the dealership stating the issue was with the battery and that it needed to be replace but it will take "some time" to receive. On 2/5/2026 I received a call from the dealership stating the battery should be received around 2/26/2026. I was reviewing online comments from other Jeep owners impacted by recall 68C and the issue that I experienced appears to be a common theme. Some reported it taking 4-6 weeks due to the battery not being available.
Vehicle Safety Complaint – Instrument Cluster Failure Component/System Failed: The instrument cluster (dashboard display), part number 68522503AD, malfunctioned and intermittently went completely black while the vehicle was in operation. The vehicle and component were available for inspection and were inspected and repaired at Tomball DCJR. Safety Risk: When the instrument cluster malfunctioned, I could not see vehicle speed, warning indicators, gear position, or other critical safety information. AutoNation CDJR Spring instructed me to continue driving the vehicle and rely on a mobile phone app to view speed, increasing distraction and crash risk. Stellantis later instructed me to drive the unsafe vehicle to another dealership, showing disregard for my safety. Problem Confirmation: The defect was diagnosed in April 2025 at AutoNation CDJR Spring while the vehicle was under warranty. The dealer confirmed the cluster qualified for warranty replacement but released the vehicle back to me against my wishes due to parts backorder, despite it being unsafe. Stellantis repeatedly refused to assist after I filed complaints. Inspections: In January 2026, after the condition worsened, AutoNation CDJR Spring again refused service. Tomball DCJR inspected the vehicle, confirmed internal cluster failure, test-drove it and observed the display shutting off, then removed and replaced the cluster. I was forced to pay $111.63 for installation despite the repair being warranty-related. Warnings/Symptoms Prior to Failure: The issue began as water-like droplets or spots inside the cluster glass that could not be wiped off, reducing visibility of safety information. The spots increased over time, visual clarity worsened, and the display eventually went completely black while driving. Summary: Jeep/Stellantis and AutoNation CDJR Spring failed to repair a known, worsening safety defect under warranty and instructed me to continue operating an unsafe vehicle.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a confirmed safety-related defect and manufacturer nonresponse involving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe, VIN [XXX] . The failed component is the high-voltage hybrid battery system. The vehicle and battery pack are currently located at an authorized Jeep dealership and are available for inspection. The vehicle was delivered to the dealership on December 29, 2025 for recall-related service. On December 30, 2025, the dealership confirmed a high-voltage battery failure. A STAR case was opened and escalated to Stellantis engineering. The vehicle was immediately removed from service and has remained unusable since that date. Prior to removal from service, the vehicle experienced repeated loss of propulsion, Electric Mode Temporarily Unavailable messages, and driveline warnings during normal operation. These symptoms were reported over multiple service visits and documented by video. The vehicle was repeatedly returned to service with repair notes stating “could not replicate” and assurances that it was safe to operate, park indoors, and charge. Those assurances were later contradicted by the confirmed battery failure and recall-related safety restrictions, exposing my family and home to avoidable safety risk. The vehicle is subject to Recall Campaign 68C. Despite confirmation of a safety-related battery failure, Stellantis has not provided a written remediation plan, assigned a decision owner, or communicated a resolution timeline. The dealership has confirmed that further action is blocked pending manufacturer authorization. Stellantis initiated corporate contact by phone on January 27 and January 29, 2026. I responded in writing and by voicemail requesting written follow-up and confirmation of ownership. Stellantis did not respond in writing and did not return my voicemail. I am concerned that a like-for-like high-voltage battery replacement does not adequately remedy the safety defect or restore confidence in INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V741000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was intermittently illuminated, and the vehicle jerked abnormally while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair, and the contact was informed that a diagnostic test was initiated. The contact was concerned that the dealer was trying to charge a fee and advised the dealer to start with the recall repair, which was free of charge. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 47,500.
My wife and I were driving to the dealer to have a safety recall service performed on her Jeep Wrangler 4XE. We had just merged onto the highway, I was in my car, behind my wife in her Jeep. Less than a mile onto the highway, my wife suddenly slowed down and moved to the right lane. As she moved over to the right lane, I saw her front tire violently wobbling back and forth. We slowed down to 30mph on the highway and after approximately 30 seconds the problem seemed to resolve. We limped our way to the exit (about another mile) and to the dealer about 1/4 mile off the highway. When my wife got out of the car she was still shaking, rattled by what had just happened. When we described what happened to the service center they responded "oh, you had the death wobble." After some research, I watched several videos about the death wobble, which confirmed what I had just seen. What if my wife had panicked and pulled over into another car in the right lane? What if she was on a small 2 lane highway and veered off the road and down an embankment? There were no warning lights or messages on the vehicle indicating any problem prior to this happening. This happened with ZERO warning and was terrifying to watch, let alone my poor wife experiencing first hand. The Jeep dealership has run diagnostics and report it is a bad steering damper. More than 3 weeks later the car remains at the dealership, awaiting repair of not only that, but also the safety recall fix for the hybrid battery. Communication from the dealership has been vague and suspicious in my opinion. They repeatedly have said they are waiting to hear from jeep on what to do next. My research indicates a previous class action suit relating to this "death wobble" issue on previous models. How does something this dangerous still happen on a 2023 model car with 19000 miles in 2025. I'm shocked at how casually the dealer and manufacturer have addressed this issue.
The issue involves the high-voltage battery system and charging system on my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. The vehicle was previously subject to Recall 95B, which addressed high-voltage battery safety concerns and was performed by an authorized Jeep dealership. After that recall, the vehicle later experienced additional hybrid system issues, which required replacement of the charging port due to battery-related faults. Most recently, the vehicle was brought to the dealership for Safety Recall 68C, which addresses potential internal battery cell failure that may lead to overheating or fire. During the recall procedure, after the required software updates and diagnostic testing, the vehicle failed the 68C recall. The dealership confirmed that the high-voltage battery must be fully replaced. The vehicle has been out of service since January 6, 2026 and remains at the dealership. A STAR case was opened with Stellantis, but the dealer has confirmed there is no estimated time of arrival for the replacement battery and no estimated time to repair the vehicle. The battery is available for inspection upon request. This defect poses a serious safety risk, as the recall involves potential battery overheating or fire, including when the vehicle is parked. I was advised not to charge the vehicle and to park away from structures prior to repair. The issue has been confirmed by an authorized Jeep dealership and acknowledged by the manufacturer, but the safety defect remains unresolved due to the lack of an available remedy. Due to the unresolved safety recall and lack of an estimated repair timeline, I have been unable to use the vehicle while continuing to incur lease payments and insurance costs. The vehicle is not in my possession and remains out of service solely due to a manufacturer-acknowledged defect. This ongoing loss of use and financial burden has not been addressed.
Lost all power to vehicle after driving for approximately 40 minutes, around 60-70 MPH. I was driving on the highway and then lost all power. I was able to pull off of the interstate and got a few blinking messages. The only one I remember was "Shift to P to Start". I could not accelerate at all and probably had less than a minute to get to safety before the car coasted to a stop and I was forced to put the car in park and turn it back on. It seemed like a forced restart on a computer but you could not choose the time or place to do it and there was very little warning. This is a huge safety issue!
OFFICIAL REPORT: UNJUSTIFIED DENIAL OF SAFETY REMEDY & DATA INCONSISTENCY - VIN: 1C4JJXN6XPW623043 I am filing this official complaint regarding a significant barrier to resolving Safety Recall 68C (Battery Fire Risk) and Recall 78C on my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. 1. DEBUNKING MANUFACTURER CLAIMS: Stellantis Middle East (Ref: FA-25274) has declined to perform the remedy, claiming authorized dealers in my region lack the necessary equipment. This is FACTUALLY INCORRECT. The manufacturer's own portal (jeep.com) confirms that Recall 04B (HCP Software Update) was successfully REPAIRED on this VIN by the local authorized dealer (Harlem Cars). 2. DISAPPEARING SAFETY RECORDS: I possess a prior screenshot from the official portal confirming that Recall 95B (High Voltage Battery) was also successfully REPAIRED by the same dealer. However, this record has recently DISAPPEARED from the active recall list on the manufacturer's website. This removal of a safety record, combined with the current denial of service, raises serious concerns about data integrity and safety compliance. 3. PROVEN TECHNICAL CAPABILITY: The successful completion of Recall 95B and 04B-both involving high-voltage systems and software-proves the dealer is fully equipped. Furthermore, Mopar Session ID: b27c4acf-bcff-4dbc-99ac-aba6477d31b1 confirms active, real-time communication between the dealer's WiTECH 2.0 tools and U.S. servers. 4. REQUEST: I request NHTSA to intervene and compel Stellantis to provide the necessary software permissions to the local dealer to resolve the 68C fire hazard and the IDCM replacement immediately.
Over the past two days, the vehicle has intermittently displayed an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system error message while driving. At the same time, the brake pedal becomes extremely hard to press, as if the brake booster or power assist is not functioning. When this occurs, it requires significantly increased force to slow or stop the vehicle, creating a serious safety hazard. The issue appears randomly and then resolves on its own. The vehicle starts normally, but the brake assist failure and ESC warning recur intermittently without warning. No modifications have been made to the braking system. I lightly tapped my house due to the sudden loss of braking power. No accident with another vehicle or person.
The contact owned a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while her husband was driving through an intersection at 40 MPH, another driver ran a stop light and crashed into the front driver's side of the vehicle. The other driver's vehicle went underneath the contact's vehicle as the contact's back tires drove over the other driver's engine. The other driver admitted fault due to distracted driving. The contact stated that no air bags deployed inside the vehicle; however, the other vehicle did have the air bags deploy. The contact and her husband were seen by paramedics at the scene of the accident. The contact later sought treatment from her doctor, where an MRI was performed, which showed that the contact had suffered a concussion. The MRI also showed that the contact had suffered a traumatic brain injury, as white matter changes were found in her brain. In addition, the contact was informed that parts of her vertebrae were also damaged, which required surgery. The surgery involved a bone fusion of bone C5 to C6 and a disc replacement of bone C4 to C5. The contact mentioned she was a registered nurse for 25 years, and due to the severity of her injuries, she can no longer return to her profession. The contact's husband was also treated by his doctor for a dislocated right wrist. The injuries of the other driver were unknown if any; however her father, who was a police officer, picked her up from the scene of the crash. A police report was filed. As a result of the accident, the vehicle was totaled and was towed to an independent wrecking yard. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet been notified of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V741000 (Electrical System). The contact called the dealer several times and was advised that manufacturer would notify vehicle owners by mail when the remedy was available. The contact had received two recalls for the main battery within a 2-year period. The contact attempted to contact the manufacturer but was unsuccessful. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure.
We have had this recall for over a year and now the dealer is saying that the vehicle can't be driven and there is no timeline for a resolution. We are still required to pay our lease on the vehicle and the Jeep is not able to be driven. We are getting no help from the dealer we purchased it from or Jeep itself.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that upon pressing the Push to Start button to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the battery was replaced; however, the failure recurred approximately 3 months later. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start; however, the interior lights, the exterior lights, the windshield wipers, and other electrical functions were engaged unintendedly. The gear shifter was locked in park(P). The contact was unable to turn off the vehicle or to lock the vehicle manually or with the key fob. The contact noticed an abnormal relay sound coming from underneath the hood. The contact stated that the failure persisted for 13 hours, from morning to evening, until both batteries were completely drained. The vehicle was towed to Peach Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (528 South Blvd, Brewton, AL 36426) to be diagnosed and repaired, but the diagnostic information was unavailable. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but declined to cover the cost of the repair under the warranty. A case was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
My battery recall was completed by my dealership (FCA 68C) and then once I received my car back my mpg dramatically dropped from an average of 32 MPG combined to at BEST 28 MPG combined. The recall states that they will do a software update for the battery and that if it is not resolved then they will replace it. My concern is that now my MPG is so much lower, what software update was completed? Did this reduce the capacity of my battery in order to prevent if from overheating/possibly igniting? Is FCA cutting corners in order to prevent having to replace the entire battery when they should be doing so? I also noticed that my car is NOT switching to electric motor when it should be. I drive the SAME route to work every day and my battery would get me to work and back, now it does not. Now, about two weeks after my recall was complete it is back in the shop due to an engine light illumination.
Two months ago the vehicle decided to not work at all. Couldn’t turn it on couldn’t move it. Had to have it towed where they kept it for 3 weeks and said it was main battery and replaced it. Fast forward to yesterday 12/29 and the engine light came on again. Waiting for dealership to contact when they’ll have loaner vehicle. But this is the second time in 2 months the engine light has come on. We bought the vehicle in September a month later in the shop. Now again going back to the shop. This vehicle has UNDER 30k miles and I’m not a a very happy customer right now.
The high-voltage battery system on my Jeep Wrangler 4xe malfunctioned and is subject to Recall 25V-741 (68C). The vehicle has been under safety recall for battery fire risk for months, with instructions to park outside and avoid charging due to fire hazard. On December 29, the recall remedy failed and the vehicle was rendered completely undrivable (“bricked”) at the dealership. I was informed that hybrid battery components/repair parts are not available and there is currently no way to return the vehicle to a safe, operable condition. The vehicle cannot be moved or driven and remains stored outside. This defect creates a direct safety risk to me and others. I am unable to charge or operate the vehicle normally, and I have been advised by the dealer that the recall repair cannot be performed because there are no available batteries or parts. This leaves me without transportation and continues the safety risk identified by NHTSA, with no practical remedy or timeline. The problem has been confirmed by a Jeep dealer, and I have written documentation showing the vehicle is non-drivable due to the recall condition. I have also attempted resolution with Stellantis/Chrysler Capital without success. I request NHTSA investigate the lack of remedy availability and failures related to Recall 25V-741/68C for affected owners whose vehicles are now immobilized.

This is the third time my vehicle has been recalled for battery issues. Twice it has been noted that I should not drive, charge, park my vehicle in my garage, or park it near any building or person because of vehicle fire risk. In both 2023 and 2024 they performed a software update and yet this issue still persist. In 2024, since they didn't have a fix for the problem they said we should not drive our vehicle and I was without a vehicle for 2 months. Now in 2025 they are recalling for the same fire issue for the third time. Again, I am advised not to drive, not to charge, not to park in my garage, and to keep the vehicle away from people and buildings. I have again been without a vehicle for almost a month. I spoke to the dealer this morning and again they have a software update as a fix. I asked to have my battery replaced since the two previous software updates did not fix the issue. They said they were only authorized to do the software update and Mopar would need to authorize a battery replacement. Spoke to Mopar and they say they will do the software update and only replace the battery if needed. I do not find this acceptable. I do not feel that my car is safe to drive especially with my elderly parents, children, or pets inside and yet Mopar will not authorize the replacement of my battery. I feel that after two software updates that did not fix the issue and continued vehicle fires that a battery update should be mandated, not another software update. I now have a care I don't feel safe to drive. Florida Attorney General's Office Lemon Law Hotline suggested I report this issue here.
After pressing the start/stop button to start the vehicle, it immediately began making a loud and unusual noise. Recognizing that this was not a normal sound, I pressed the start/stop button again in an attempt to turn the vehicle off. However, the vehicle did not disengage and would not shut off as expected. The noise continued and became louder, and smoke began coming from the sides of the vehicle and from underneath. When the hood was opened, there was very thick white smoke coming from the engine compartment along with a strong burning smell. The smoke was too thick to determine whether there were any visible flames. After a short period of time, the engine finally disengaged on its own, but the smoke continued for a period of time after the vehicle shut off. The exact cause of the shutdown is unknown. We did not attempt to restart the vehicle. After the incident, there was visible melted plastic material and residue on the concrete beneath the vehicle, consistent with something overheating or melting in the engine compartment. The vehicle was not driven after this incident and was towed to the nearest dealership for inspection, where it remains pending further evaluation.
A 2nd recall has been issued for the Hybrid Battery system and once again Jeep has no remedy available. My safety is at risk to due to the possibility of a car fire. I am also unable to use the car as intended due to safety concerns. Jeep needs to be held accountable for selling a very expensive vehicle that not only does not work properly but could catch on fire. It is unacceptable for owners to be left in limbo due to the negligence shown by Jeep. If they cannot sell a car that operates safely then they should be made to reimburse the owners.
While driving at about 55 mph my Wrangler shut down and dash read to put car in park to calibrate battery. I had to bring vehicle to side of road and try to restart. It did restart. I had a recall addressed at Marc Motors Sanford Maine service dept back in April 18, 2025. For recall for high voltage. Not sure why recall is showing incomplete? I am very scared to drive this car. I called the dealership in which directed me to call Jeep customer service. No one could help me. I was told I had to pay for a rental. I do not have such funds. In the mean time I am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle that shuts off anytime while driving. I'm leasing this vehicle from Stellantis and still have no help or support. I'm afraid to drive this car. I have no other means of transportation. I need to be able to transport to my job. I was told by dealership and Jeep customer service that there is no solution to fix such recall. Not until the first quarter of 2026. Please, I need a solution Thank You [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V741000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable.

On 11/7/25 I brought my Jeep Wrangler 4xe for the two active recalls and an oil change. The battery recall could not be done. The motive power was supposedly fixed. Since then there has been a new problem. The Jeep gets to the point of stall (like the motive power issue) however right before the stall it surges. This really caught me off guard the first few times and I barely avoided three accidents. Now I know when it feels like it is going to stall to be prepared to slam on the breaks. However this is not really a good situation they really need to do a full recall to fix this thing. I noticed you gave an open investigation and I think it is a separate issue from the loss of motive power issue and I think the fix for the motive power problem has exacerbated this problem of lurching/surging that I have told my dealer about no fewer than three times. The most recent almost stall and surge happened this morning as I was merging into a rotary and again because of that surge I almost lost control of the vehicle.
I am filing this complaint regarding the serious safety hazard associated with the fire-risk recall on my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. The official manufacturer recall letter states: “The high-voltage battery may become damaged under normal operation which could lead to a vehicle fire.” The recall instructions also direct me to: Fully discharge the high-voltage battery Not charge the vehicle Park the vehicle away from all structures because of the fire risk This indicates that the vehicle may spontaneously catch fire even when driven or stored as intended. I currently cannot safely store or use this vehicle at my residence. I am a 100% permanently and totally disabled Marine Corps veteran with PTSD, and this fire hazard and the required parking instructions significantly worsen my medical condition. There is no available remedy or repair at this time. I am requesting that NHTSA document this hazard, investigate Stellantis’ handling of this recall, and ensure owner protection given the severity of the fire risk and lack of resolution.
This vehicle has a serious recall (the car can start itself on fire) and there is no fix. The value of the car tanked, and nobody wants the vehicle. I dont feel safe in the vehicle, but I am stuck in it due to unfixable recall and dealerships being unwilling to trade for it.
In the last twelve months, the vehicle has been serviced six times for ongoing issues related to the hybrid system, yet the problems persist. Despite multiple visits to the dealership, the defect remains unresolved. My 2023 Jeep Wrangler has an active hybrid battery recall (68C), which according to NHTSA is an extension of the earlier 95B recall involving risk of fire related to the hybrid battery. Recall 95B was marked “resolved” after my hybrid battery was replaced on 11/20/2025, yet I now have another recall for the same safety-related issue. This indicates that the original defect was not properly resolved and suggests ongoing hybrid system safety risks. The recall repair for 68C is still listed as “no parts available,” leaving me unable to have this safety defect corrected. During this period, the vehicle has stalled, lost power, and displayed repeated warning lights associated with hybrid system failure and recall-related issues. These events have occurred while driving and present a serious safety concern. I have opened a case with Stellantis and have documentation of all service visits and all communication with the manufacturer. Stellantis denied my buyback request without providing written reasons and closed my case. They offered a small discount on a new vehicle that would require rolling over nearly $20,000 in negative equity, which does not resolve the underlying safety defect. They also offered two vague extended warranty options but refused to provide written details, and these do not correct the defect or address the safety risk. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle. I fear the possibility of injury due to the unresolved hybrid system defect, stalling incidents, and the ongoing fire-related recall with no available remedy. Stellantis has failed to correct the defect and has not provided an adequate or safe solution. Requesting assistance as this is an active safety issue involving repeated hybrid system failures and a recall with no remedy.
WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE AND WE HAVE GRANDKIDS WHO RIDE WITH US . I WOULD LIKE THE DEALERSHIP TO ALLOW US TO TRADE THIS IN WITHOUT ANY HASSLE. URGENT: FIRE RISK WHEN PARKED An urgent safety recall has been issued for this vehicle and the manufacturer has recommended that you follow their instructions on how and where to park this vehicle. More information is available under NHTSA Recall Number 25V741000. Oct 30,2025 Manufacturer Recall Number68C NHTSA Recall Number25V-741 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available Summary In rare circumstances, a battery pack may contain cells with separator damage. Separator damage, combined with other complex interactions within the cells, may lead to a vehicle fire. Safety Risk A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle. Vehicle risk is reduced when the battery charge level is depleted. Accordingly, owners are advised to refrain from recharging. Out of an abundance of caution, FCA US is also advising owners of these vehicles to park away from structures or other vehicles until the remedy is obtained.

The contact leased a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the engine overheated on several occasions while driving approximately 25-50 MPH. The driver was able to pull over safely. The temperature gauge warning light was displayed. The message “Engine Overheated – Pull Over” was displayed. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V741000 (Electrical System). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the engine was replaced under warranty. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The recall was not repaired because parts were not available. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 22,357.
"Vehicle is subject to Recall 68C (Fire Risk). Manufacturer states remedy is 'Not Yet Available.' I am instructed not to charge the battery and to park away from structures. I cannot safely park the vehicle at my home or use the electric propulsion I am paying for. The vehicle presents an immediate fire hazard while parked."

Complaint Summary: Severe, dangerous steering oscillation (“death wobble”) while driving at highway speeds. Violent shaking after hitting a bump on Highway 94 in Minneapolis caused near loss of control. Forced to pull off the road to avoid an accident. Defect recurred continuously, requiring speeds of 25–55 mph for an 800-mile trip to Canada and the entire return trip. This is a known defect documented in EA18-002 and multiple class actions. Description: I was driving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler (VIN [XXX] ) eastbound on Highway 94 in Minneapolis when the front suspension began shaking violently after hitting a bump. The oscillation was so extreme that I thought the vehicle would veer out of control. I had to pull off the road immediately. The shaking recurred with every bump and forced us to drive extremely slow for the remainder of our trip (25–55 mph for over 800 miles each way). This created a major safety hazard during our long-distance travel. After returning home, I drove 90 miles to Billion Jeep in Sioux Falls, where a certified Jeep mechanic diagnosed it instantly as the “death wobble” and stated it was a known recurring defect. I had to pay for repairs out of pocket. Despite the severity of this defect, Chrysler Capital still demanded a $395 disposition fee even though the vehicle was unsafe. I paid it under protest to avoid credit repercussions. Jeep has known of this defect for years (EA18-002, TSBs, class action Flynn v. FCA US LLC), yet it continues in 2023 models. This is a major safety concern and could cause loss of control at highway speeds. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
We are contacting you today because our 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe started to exhibit some concerning issues: On a fully charged battery, our Jeep started normally in hybrid mode. After 10-15 miles (down to 51% battery capacity), power switched to Internal Combustion Engine (Engine) After parking, upon restart and re-restart, various malfunctions appeared on dashboard: - Straight to engine power (engine noise), not on electric power (even when still in hybrid mode) - "Service charging system” alert - Engine light on - Plug light on - Battery light on - "Blind spot service unavailable, service required” - On right dial showing “Power" and “Charge", abnormal (?) temporary swing down towards “Charge" - AC not working (no warning, no alert) - Battery still showing 51% After parking, when attempting to charge: - Charging lights start off normally but stop (?) after 30 seconds, and - “Service charging system” flashes back on - Engine light on, Plug light on, etc - AC still not working -The Jeep is now not accelerating normally and seems to lack power -Breaking is unresponsive or lagging Please note, our vehicle was recalled under 95B and was serviced by Kendall Jeep on July 25, 2025 for 1895B182 Reprogram BPCM and Complete Drive Cycle Reoutine. We were told the software update was successful. We have made an appointment with Kendall Jeep to drop our Jeep off on December 8, 2025. We are concerned that our vehicle is unsafe to drive and that MOPAR has not provided a fix for this continuing issue. We included a pic of our dashboard and warnings.
The defective component is the cable and handle assembly that controls the rear seat’s ability to fold down and lock securely in the upright position. The dealership confirmed the cable was bound but is refusing to repair it under the factory warranty. This is a safety concern because a faulty mechanism may prevent the seat from locking properly. If the seat cannot stay secured in the upright position, a passenger could be thrown forward during a hard stop or collision, and cargo from the rear could strike occupants. The defect compromises the seat’s ability to restrain passengers and maintain structural stability in an accident.

While driving at highway speeds 40 and over vehicle may begin to experience “death wobble” where deceleration and sudden stopping is required. It becomes very hard to control vehicle and loss of control may be possible. Vehicle violently shakes from front end after minor bump or skip in roadway. Although reporting for first time now has happened several times since I have owned the vehicle.
I have several issues. 1. An independent auto shop noticed all 4 of my shocks were leaking when they did an oils change and tire rotation recently. I have had my other oil changes and rotations at the dealership prior to this and they never mentioned it. I’ve tried calling my dealership svc dept. about it 4 times now with no call backs. 2. The new tires that came with my jeep from the factory only lasted about half their treadwear. I had to replace prematurely at 30,000 miles bc they were causing a “deathwobble” on my jeep at speeds of 60-70mph and they were also messing with my alignment which I paid the dealer to try to fix but they’ll couldn’t bc it turns out it was the tires the whole time but they’ll couldn’t bc couldn’t figure this out. The independent tire shop figured it out. 3. This is the most worrisome They just sent me another recall about the high voltage battery pack being dangerous and poasibly catching fire. It says not to charge it or park it near structures. This is the 2nd or 3rd recall of this sort and it’s not allowing me to use the electric features on my vehicle which I paid extra for when I bought it and I pay yearly for with insurance and taxes.. I need compensation or a vehicle exchange or a buyback so that I can use my vehicle as it is intended to be used. This is a clear violation of that. Please help me!
My vehicle, a 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN [XXX] ), is under recall stating: “A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury.” “Owners are advised to refrain from recharging.” “Owners… are advised to park away from structures.” “The remedy… is not currently available.” Vehicle also has front-end instability at 65+ mph. I notice it starting to vibrate/wobble. Dealership will not provide a loaner until a remedy has been identified leaving my family in a very unsafe, potential life threatening position.

Vehicle: 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Mileage: Approx. 67,000 Case Number with Jeep/Stellantis: 94808242 I am reporting a recurring and dangerous “death wobble” safety defect in my 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. I have experienced more than 30 separate incidents of violent front-end shaking while driving, often at highway speeds. The wobble happens suddenly without warning and causes the vehicle to become difficult to control, creating a serious risk of losing control, swerving into other lanes, or causing a crash. I have three children who regularly ride in this vehicle, and these episodes have occurred while they were present. The problem has occurred under multiple road and weather conditions. I have attempted repairs including new tires and new shocks, and the issue still persists. The vehicle has been evaluated by Jeep dealership service departments and the problem has not been resolved. I have documented each event with video recordings and logs including date, time, speed, tire pressure, and temperature. The manufacturer has opened Case #94808242, but the defect remains unresolved. This is an ongoing safety hazard and the vehicle is unsafe to operate. I am requesting an investigation and formal record of this recurring safety defect.
This is a safety recall dispute — the vehicle is under NHTSA recall 25V741000 with a fire-risk-when-parked warning and no available remedy. I’m requesting arbitration for a manufacturer repurchase OR that the leasing bank be directed to terminate the lease early without penalty.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? My 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe (VIN [XXX] ) has experienced repeated failures in the high-voltage hybrid electrical system, including “Service Hybrid System” warnings, failure to hold charge, and loss of EV function. It has also experienced a dangerous front steering damper failure at highway speed. All components remain available for inspection upon request, and the vehicle is still in my possession. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The hybrid system failures have caused repeated drivability issues, unpredictable power delivery, and warnings advising me not to operate or charge the vehicle due to potential battery-related safety risks. More critically, the steering damper failed abruptly at approximately 75 mph, causing severe front-end instability, vibration, and momentary difficulty maintaining directional control. This failure created an immediate risk of a loss-of-control crash on the highway. Being instructed not to charge the vehicle for months due to safety recalls also indicates a high-voltage battery safety risk that could endanger me, my passengers, and others. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Multiple dealerships have documented hybrid-system faults, charging restrictions, and recall-related battery concerns. The “Service Hybrid System” fault has been observed and documented by authorized Jeep/Chrysler service centers. The steering damper failure was documented during service shortly after the highway incident, and the dealer confirmed the part had failed unexpectedly despite passing inspection less than 1,000 miles earlier. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The defects have been repeatedly inspected and documented by Jeep/Stellantis dealerships. Stellantis has been notified directly INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Last week the cat went in for the open recalls. However the electrical and propulsion problems are still going on so I think it’s more than software. The car jerks and come close to stalling almost like a standard transmission with the clutch not catching properly. Additionally, and this is separate and does not occur with the problem described above. The dashboard lights randomly go off. It has no correlation to anything just randomly shut off then come back on.
My 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4XE is under a safety recall involving a risk of fire. The recall notice instructs owners not to charge the vehicle and to park it away from structures or other vehicles. Because i live in a residential community I do not have any way to safely store the vehicle according to these instructions. My place of work is strictly prohibiting my vehicle from being on premises due to the risk of fire. The vehicle is effectively unusable. Jeep Customer service has repeatedly told me to bring it in for diagnostics, but my dealership stated that there is no diagnostic procedure available for this recall. Jeep also told me the vehicle is "safe to drive" despite the written recall warning about fire risk and parking requirements. I have been unable to get a loaner or alternate transportation and my case has not been escalated after multiple calls. I am reporting this because the safety guidance is conflicting, there is no remedy available, and i cannot safely use or store the vehicle as directed.
I am unable to use the car as intended. It poses a major safety risk to me, my family, our home, our neighbors, and my workplace where I must park it in a garage or next to many other vehicles every day.
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
I was driving my 2023 wrangler 4xe to work one Saturday morning. No weather conditions, no change of habit in my drive, and normal driving conditions in general. Half way there I felt a weird change and slight jerk while on the highway. After I noticed a light come on. I was unable to stop so I continued and monitored my gauges. All seemed normal except it kicked into gas only mode I noticed. Once I made it to my first red light it braked funny/differently. Once the light was green I accelerated but it was delayed and felt clunky. It almost jolted a little in order to go. I was five minutes from work so I continued on slowly. Once I made it to work I had to turn left through a double lane. Once clear I accelerated to turn into my lot. The jeep stayed lit but completely lost power and actually stopped in the middle of oncoming traffic. Thankfully one car slowed but the other planned to keep going. I panicked hitting the gas a few times until it finally jolted me up into the parking lot. Once I parked it I turned it off to breath and calm down. My child could have been in there. Had I not moved someone could have hit me and blamed me for the accident. After I parked it and turned it off it would not turn back on and shift again. But once I got a tow truck there to take to the dealer he was able to to turn it on. So I’m unsure how that’s safe either.
My leased 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is included in Recall #68C (NHTSA #25V741000) for a battery fire risk when parked. Jeep and NHTSA have both advised owners not to charge or park the vehicle near structures due to a potential fire hazard. This makes the vehicle unsafe and unusable under normal lease conditions. I contacted my leasing company, Chrysler Capital, to request assistance because the vehicle cannot be safely used or parked. Their representatives repeatedly refused to escalate or document my case and stated that they “can’t do anything,” including refusing to provide a supervisor’s ID or written confirmation. I feel unsafe keeping or driving the vehicle, and I believe I should not be charged lease fees or penalties while it is under this recall. I am requesting that this issue be investigated and that Jeep and Chrysler Capital provide appropriate lease termination or safety accommodations.
This is my daily vehicle. The fact that there is an active fire safety recall with no remedy is absolutely horrible. Per my VIN this has been the third safety recall on same issue in two years. Please make jeep fix this problem or buy these cars back to get them off the roads. Thank you!
Recall for electric battery packs in the electric Wrangler Manufacture requires that we don't park the vehicle in our garage and we don't charge or use the electric battery This pretty much makes my vehicle unusable as I drive the electric motor and my only free parking space is inside my garage

The vehicle is affected by a high-voltage battery defect related to thermal runaway and fire risk. The manufacturer has instructed owners to avoid charging the battery, avoid using the hybrid system normally, and to park the vehicle away from structures. I do not have alternate parking and the vehicle must be stored next to my home, creating a safety concern. This is the third time the same safety issue has affected the vehicle. The hybrid-electric drive system has been unusable for long periods of time, resulting in the vehicle being unavailable or not able to be used as intended for more than half of the time I have owned it. Multiple authorized dealers have confirmed that there is currently no remedy or repair available and that they cannot schedule a repair because the necessary components are not available. The manufacturer also has no estimated timeframe for when a remedy will be provided. The safety risk is ongoing, and the vehicle cannot be used as designed or safely stored.
On October 25th, 2025 my husband and I were driving home on the freeway. All of a sudden, without any warning notice or check engine light, my hybrid 2023 Jeep caught on fire as we were in it driving down the freeway. The fire started under the hood and under us. Flames were coming up the sides of the Jeep as we drove and were getting bigger then coming in the vents and under the hood. My husband pulled the Jeep over to the shoulder and we quickly got out and away from the Jeep and called 911 for help. Cars were still driving down the freeway as the Jeep was engulfed in flames. Our safety was put at high risk since we were driving on the freeway at highway speeds and the Jeep caught on fire without any warning and my husband and I were sitting inside the Jeep traveling while it was actively on fire and getting worse. We were located right by the fire as we were driving. It was under us, in front of us and growing around us. Others were put at risk because there was a large fire on the side of the freeway as other vehicles were driving by. A semi truck almost hit the median in the freeway when it probably noticed what was going on. Further, vehicles were driving in the right hand lane right beside the active fire. My Jeep was sparking, throwing flames and some things exploded. Jeep hybrids have had problems and my Jeep has had many recalls and problems. Stellantis was involved with the last few dealership service visits. The Jeep was not charging so a new charging system was put in it at the dealership. The Jeep had a red turtle come on as I was driving and it drastically slowed my speed down suddenly. I pulled over and then my Jeep turned off and would not start again for hours. The dealership, with Stellantis involved, put in a new rechargeable battery. These were some of the things done recently prior to my Jeep catching on fire en route in addition to many recalls/updates. There were no warning signs at all prior to his Jeep fire.
I was driving and all the lights on the cluster came on, with an instruction to slowly pull over place the vehicle in park and restart the vehicle. Apparently the vehicle dead while I was driving it. At the same time I received a message from the vehicle app saying unable to charge vehicle. Strange because I was driving the vehicle at that time and not attempting to charge it.
My Jeep has 43,213 miles and my mechanic who I have used for over 30 years showed me that all 4 shocks are severely leaking and need replacing. I’m am 69 and only use this Jeep on the highway and zero off roading. This is most unusual for all 4 shocks to need replacing at such low miles
Inside driver side door latch a silver lamination which has delaminated and formed a sharp edge that has cut my finger twice. The second cut was rather deep.
I have a hybrid jeep 4xe, 2023. Allegedly unaffected by the software issue over the weekend that caused countless issues for 2024 and 2025 jeeps. My 2023 jeep wrangler 4xe stopped suddenly while driving. Unfortunately, I panicked in the moment, so I do not remember if it completely powered off or if it just lost propulsion, but it stopped. I had to turn the car off and then back on to get it to go the next day. My check engine light came on for about 24 hours and went off again.
Level 2 Charger for my vehicle. Purchased a Juicebox 32 Enel X Way and the company decided to cease operation in North America. Now I have equipment I paid $579 for that is inoperable and still under the supposed warranty. I have been referred to Voltie Group by Enel X Way which informed me they took over customer assistance but they have not returned any email or voicemail messages. After doing some research I read that I should submit a complaint with the NHTSA because there is possibly an open investigation regarding this situation. I have not had a fire as some others apparently have but my research also showed multiple issues regarding the safety of the units. I'm hoping you might be able to advise me on what my options are...
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact called AAA and was informed that the battery was being drained by an unknown electrical fault. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the valve cover and steering module timing cover needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer added an extended warranty. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was an import from Canada, and there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.
The driver side door handle har a foil wrapping that has come loose and cannot be returned to its standard position. The wrapping is sharp jagged aluminum that has cut my finger on two separate occasions. The wound is rather deep in both instances.
Sudden loss of power. We experienced a sudden loss of engine power. The vehical is currently at a dealership for repairs. We have been informed this is a known issue and a service bulletin has been issued. We are shocked that we were not notified. We were on I75 and had the traffic not been light it is very possible we would not have been able to maneuver out of the way of other vehicals. This is not like a rattle or minor malfunction. The engine suddenly and without warning quit producing power. Adress this now before drivers are killed or injured.
My son was turning out of a parking lot and the car suddenly stopped moving and went into park. He couldn’t shift out of park and was stuck in the middle of a very busy street with cars slamming on their brakes to avoid hitting him. The car had to be towed away.
Sway bar light is flashing - Research says that it could be unsafe to drive- took it in for repair today 9/10/25 - vehicle under warranty until December. Vehicle repaired "for now" was advised to have checked on next oil change verbally. At this time the vehicle will be out of warranty. (3 years - only has 23680 mile currently) but warranty ends at this point. Why should i be responsible for an issue after this when they know there is a problem? Should this defect be a recall? From what i read on the internet this is very common. My vehicle has never been off road and looks like brand new and has not experienced driving through large amounts of water/rain. Were in a drought.
While on a trip from Texas to Arizona on the interstate highway system I was passing a semi-truck and my front wheels and steering wheel experienced a very violent vibration. The vibration would not stop until I slowed from 75 mph to approximately 35 mph. VERY dangerous at that speed, while passing, and moderate traffic. This happened to me again in South Texas where I live on a state highway where I was shifting into third gear accelerating through about 50 mph with the exact same vibration until I slowed below 30 mph. We also have the same year 2023 Jeep Gladiator and we experienced the exact same issue after hitting a small bump traveling at approximately 70 mph. Since then I have looked into the issue on the internet and it is abuzz with Jeep owners and claims of a "death wobble" in the steering system. It appears there was a previous lawsuit in which the manufacturer was not found at fault but this problem persists based on the internet traffic I've seen and the number of products being offered, by after market companies, to correct this issue. I can enter the Gladiator VIN and another report if that helps. Please advise...
Dear NHTSA, I am writing to formally report a serious safety issue involving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler. Recently, I experienced what is widely known as the “death wobble,” a violent and uncontrollable shaking of the steering wheel and front end while driving. This incident nearly caused me to lose control of the vehicle and crash, creating an extremely dangerous situation for myself and others on the road. The “death wobble” is caused by defective or worn suspension and steering components, including track bar bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, and other parts. The experience was terrifying, and I had to carefully slow down and pull over to regain control of the vehicle. I am aware that a nationwide class-action lawsuit settlement was approved in June 2023 for Jeep Wrangler models (2018–2020) and Jeep Gladiator models (2020) for this exact issue. The settlement provided extended warranties, potential coverage for suspension components, and reimbursements for repairs. While my vehicle is a 2023 model, I am concerned that this ongoing safety defect persists in newer models as well, which suggests that Jeep has not adequately addressed the problem. My vehicle is currently at a dealership, and I have been informed that I am responsible for covering the cost of repairs despite this being a known and dangerous defect. I strongly believe this is an unfair burden on consumers and poses a continuing public safety risk. I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate this matter, evaluate whether 2023 Jeep Wrangler models should be included in recalls or settlements, and take steps to hold Jeep accountable. I also request guidance on what recourse I may have as a consumer who has experienced this safety issue firsthand. Thank you for your time and commitment to road safety. I am happy to provide additional information, documentation, or repair records as needed.
Jeep 4XE loss of motive power. Was driving and warning came on to Service Charging System and lost all power while driving on freeway. Had to coast to a safe place to pull over. Screen told me to put vehicle in park. Put it in park, turned engine off, then turned it back on and it drove fine. Posted to Jeep 4XE group as this issue seems fairly common on there and they mentioned that you guys are looking into this issue and called it loss of motive power.
I bought this Jeep brand new on 7/5/2025 at a dealership with 342 miles on it. The night of purchase, I noticed the fog lights did not work. The dealership had to replace all the wires to the fog lights. On the morning of 8/29/2025, while driving my vehicle between the speeds of 25 - 55 mph to work, the vehicle would shimmy for unknown reasons. Later that afternoon, while driving home from work on the interstate at approximately 60 mph, the vehicle began a severe shake (AKA death wobble). I was able to slow down and safely exit the interstate, but the vehicle did not stop the “death wobble” until it was at a near stop. I immediately called the dealership, and they are to inspect it first thing in the morning on 8/29/2025. This vehicle has not had any modifications or previous owners.
The vehicle has been under recall since September 2024. They have been unable to repair it. I requested a refund or replacement since it has been nearly a year now without repair. The company offered me $9,000 and $9,000 to the lawyer I had contact them. This is not acceptable since they cannot repair the vehicle they need to refund my money or give me a new car.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH over a bump in the roadway, the front-end of the vehicle started shaking violently. The contact stated that after slowing down to 20 MPH, the shaking ceased. The failure had occurred on three separate occasions. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact related the failure to the death wobble. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the local dealer for assistance. The contact called the local dealer and scheduled an appointment. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to a design flaw. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000. The VIN was not available.
Battery
While driving on the highway, the vehicle experienced total power loss. Instrument cluster showed a Service Charging System now error. Had to coast to wide of road. Instrument cluster also said m “put in park to start vehicle” with a flashing “D” on the gear selector. After turning off and back on, power returned.
At approximately 36,600 miles, my 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara began experiencing a critical and recurring electrical malfunction. Upon attempting to start the vehicle: •All dashboard electronics power on, but the engine does not crank or start. •The brake pedal remains fully depressed and will not release. •The vehicle cannot be shut off by the ignition; the only way to power it down is by disconnecting the battery and fuse and waiting ~15 minutes. This issue renders the vehicle completely inoperable and has occurred multiple times. It began just 600 miles after the factory warranty expired (36,000 miles), and two dealership repair attempts have failed to resolve the issue. I’ve reviewed public NHTSA complaints and discovered that similar issues are being reported in 2023 Wranglers, including full power loss and no-start conditions. This issue is consistent with symptoms reported in the NHTSA’s July 2024 investigation into 2023–2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe models for electrical system failures. I believe this is part of a systemic electrical defect and poses a serious safety risk due to its sudden onset and inability to shut the vehicle down normally.
NHTSA Complaint Summary: 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Recall 24V-720 Overview: A complaint was filed with the NHTSA against FCA US LLC and Opelika Ford Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for failing to remedy a safety defect in a 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe under NHTSA Recall 24V-720, as required by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. The vehicle has been inoperable for 83 days as of July 17, 2025, causing financial hardship and safety concerns. Issue Description: Recall Details: Recall 24V-720 addresses a high-voltage battery pack defect prone to separator damage, risking vehicle fires. FCA is obligated to reprogram the battery control module or replace the battery free of charge. Vehicle Status: Dropped off at the dealership on April 25, 2025, the vehicle remains unrepaired. The repair order is “pre-assigned,” with no technician assigned or parts ordered. Failed Repair Attempt: On May 9, 2025, the dealership claimed repairs were complete, but charging errors emerged immediately, confirming the defect persists. The vehicle is unsafe and unusable, with restrictions against charging or parking near structures. Failures by FCA and Dealership: Dealership Inaction: Limited testing and poor coordination with FCA’s STAR system have stalled repairs. FCA Oversight: Jeep Case Management demanded redundant documentation, despite the recall’s clear mandate. Communication has been sparse despite frequent follow-ups. Unpaid Reimbursements: FCA approved rental reimbursements, five invoices remain unpaid, including one approved on June 18, 2025, promised within 10-15 business days. Requested Resolution: Immediate Repair or Refund: Complete the recall repair or issue a full cash refund of the purchase price, rejecting FCA’s fair market value credit offer. NHTSA Investigation: Investigate FCA and the dealership for non-compliance with the recall mandate.
I've had the Electric Coolant Heater Module (ECH) replaced three times in under three months, and had to pay $853 the last time for a wiring harness connector that the dealership & Jeep said was not covered under the warranty. I couldn't continue to safely drive the vehicle with a Check Engine Light on given the other reported problems with the 4xe Hybrid Battery system so I had no choice but to pay for the part out of pocket, even though the item the connector was attached to was deemed to be covered by the 100,000 miles hybrid system warranty.
I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden the vehicle fell dead and I can’t put it into gear.

Driving roughly 20 MPH coming off of a highway off ramp, the vehicle lerched and went into "turtle mode". Pulled to side of ramp and engine stalled. Would not crank over when attempting to start. Brand new 12V battery that morning due to vehicle not starting in driveway.
I've had the Electric Coolant Heater (ECH) replaced three times in less than three months under the Hybrid Battery Warranty. The third repair included having to pay $853 to replace the ECV connector, which was not picked up by the Hybrid Battery Warranty, and the dealer required buying the entire harness just to get a new connector.
I recently rented this vehicle from Budget. I had the vehicle for 3 weeks before I found out it had a recall on it. I took a look into it and the recall was out there since September of 2024. Not only that it was a major issue. The vehicle could’ve caught fire. This is very alarming to me because I had the vehicle for so long. I rented the vehicle in April of 2025. This vehicle should not have been available to rent. I tried to attach the conversation I had with the locations manager on the day I returned it stating that the vehicle was on the recall list but I reached out to him no one from Budget contacted me. I have supporting documents but I’m not able to attach them. I have my rental contract that states the date and also the email between the manager at the location.

While driving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler on a road traveling at approx 15 to 20 mph the “Auto Park “ feature activated and the vehicle came to an abrupt stop in the middle of the road.The D indicator was blinking and in order to proceed I had to place the shift in Park and then back in Drive. The car was flat bedded to the dealer who was unable to fix it. The dealer was unable to assure me this would not happen again. The dealer did disconnect the wiring to the door which gave my wife and I some comfort and peace of mind. One of two things could have caused this to happen;1 a malfunction in the module in the door or 2 a malfunction in the computer. I have a severely degenerated cervical spine; a rear end collision could cause me severe injury. It is absolutely necessary that this function be turned off in my vehicle. I have been patiently awaiting for Jeep Wave and my local dealer to fix this problem. In the meantime, my wife and I have had no window operation nor keyless entry nor mirror operation on the driver’s side. It was only by the Grace of God that no vehicle was following us that day.
See attached document for complaint.
We have been experiencing a bouncing and shaking in the front end of our vehicle while driving at highway speeds. This happens when hitting the slightest bump or transitions from pavement to concrete. Last week while driving on the highway the shaking and bouncing was so violent that I can't believe I didn't lose control. I brought the vehicle to the dealer and for the second time they replaced more suspension items in the front end. After doing some research I found out that this has been a problem with these vehicles for quite some time and that it's known as the "Death Wobble". After what I experienced I can understand why. I called Jeep and spoke to multiple people in different departments and as they acknowledge the problem they don't seem to care how unsafe the issue is. I can't believe there haven't been any deaths related to this and I'm hoping you might investigate these issues further before that happens.
At highway speeds,60+ the jeep starts an extreme wobbling and shaking when I hit a bump. Sometimes I can slow down and it stops and other times I have to pull Over and come to a complete stop. I just bought this jeep less than two weeks ago and it’s now in service getting a new steering damper. Everything I’m reading online says this is just a Bandaid. My husband knows about Cars and he said this will only absorb the shaking until it wears out and then it will start again. I was told it was their third jeep today with a death wobble. They sold the jeep to me with this issue and now I have to pay a warranty deductible 10 days after purchase to get it fixed. It only has 33,000 miles on it. It’s hard to control the steering at 70 mph when the entire front end starts violently shaking.
There is a problem with my electrical system. I have brought it in to jeep several times, and they have brushed it off. In July 2024 I was driving and the car shut off in the middle of traffic. I was able to come to a stop in a turning lane, but it was a dangerous, scary situation. When I took it to the dealership, they said they could not replicate it and sent me on my way. In March 2024 I was stranded at night at a dog park when my car wouldn't start. There was a message stating that the electrical system needed to be serviced. I had it towed to the dealership and they said it was just the engine battery and an issue with a sensor that was put in upside down. In October 2024 I received a notice not to charge my battery or park it in or near buildings. There was no fix. Then, they had software update that was supposed to fix internal problems with the batteries. I asked for a new battery without the issues, and they said no. The scariest, and biggest problem I'm having, though, is that intermittently I lose power when trying to accelerate into traffic. This has led to many scary incidents of other drivers nearly hitting me and being very upset. The most recent incident was on Wednesday, February 12. I was driving on highway 12 in the morning on my way to work and a car pulled in front of me. To avoid a collision, I swerved to the left lane and tried to accelerate to get out of the way of the car behind me and my car would not accelerate. I had to take my foot off the gas, then push again to get it to go. It was terrifying and dangerous. The car behind me nearly hit me, and they honked and were very upset. This situation happens probably once or twice a month. I had my car in the shop to address these issues and I had a rental car and Jeep said they would work with the dealer to repair. They never did. Never called me back, and now they are refusing my rental reimbursement. I don't have anymore money to pay for another so I'm stuck
The vehicle violently shakes after hitting minor bumps on the road. The steering wheel shakes not allowing you to have control of the vehicle. The vehicle can hit another vehicle or roll over due to this defect. This is a serious issue linked to poor quality parts and craftsmanship from the manufacturer. This can cause serious injury or death if not fixed immediately. This also causes the alignment to go out and pre-mature wear and tear on the tires. Mark my words someone will die from this failure.
At 40 mph and above and without warning, the front end of the vehicle will begin to bounce and shake from side to side causing the steering wheel to also shake, thus making it difficult for the driver to safely steer the vehicle. Once speed is reduced the shaking stops and normal control is regained. This issue has occurred multiple times and lasts anywhere from a few seconds to over a minute.
2023 vehicle no problems until 95B safety recall was performed. Warning light low air next day. Two wks after recall serv. and less than 4-6 months after reg. Maint. & oil change the check engine light came on upon start. Checked and the black coolant reservoir the caps dip stick was void of fluid I was told. Called dealer to advise. Visited dealership the head mechanic dx that the gas cap seal is bad.the check engine light off and not the low to empty coolant. Complaint is the warning light panel. The electrical wires exposed hanging broken small panel on the passengers side of the rearview mirror. Noticed after pickup from dealership. This was addressed with service depart. These panel, coolant, panel broke handing wires, gas cap seal are all issues after recall services. I believe it is unlikely just electrical issues that occurred when it was recently in for the battery recall requiring overnight parking. It was left overnight as they needed to know if it would catch fire. I was not informed if it was necessary as I’ve read to test drive it on electric before it was returned to me. The advisor was in days off happened to be in and was pleasant but I felt rushed. I was given the paper to sign and just told all is well, period. Broken panel part with electrical wires hanging out of rearview mirror. Gas cap seal that is now faulty setting of warning check engine light but not the LOW coolant? No explanation for damaged panel part and reason for messing with the wires. Concerns are engine, electrical and panel failure. Engine should not have issue with coolant. It never should’ve gotten to that point. The fact that there was low to no coolant as the dip stick didn’t register any. It’s a solid black reservoir not able to visibly check for coolant.I find it’s a safety issue, a mechanical issue. The head mechanic is saying that we would’ve never known about coolant needed had it not been for the only 2 yr old gas cap that leaves engine warning light on.
The Jeep won't start
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler has been inspected by two different dealerships 6-7 times, and I have submitted four cases through Jeep Wave, including a request for a buyback. While driving on the highway or on city streets, the vehicle experiences a speed reduction to 5-10 miles per hour, with a stiff steering wheel and hard brakes. Warning messages appear, including: "Engine Light," "Service Transmission. Continue in D. Do Not Shift or Turn Off Engine Until You Reach a Desired Location. You May Not Be Able to Shift Again Until Serviced," and "Brake is Not On," even when the vehicle is in park. The vehicle has malfunctioned twice on the highway while driving at 65-70 miles per hour and several times during heavy traffic at 5 PM. This raises significant safety concerns, especially on the highway, where a malfunction could pose a danger to others on the road. Although the issue cannot be replicated by the dealership, error codes appear when the vehicle is taken in for inspection. Ultimately, I am told that the issue is related to the "grounding." One dealership had the vehicle for 24 days. I picked it up on a Saturday at 10:30 AM, but by Sunday at 10 AM, the vehicle's speed had again decreased, the brakes were stiff, and the steering wheel was locked. The vehicle is available for inspection, and my buyback request has been denied three times. The vehicle is currently at the dealership once again, and I am genuinely concerned about the safety of my children and family members when I'm driving. My safety, as well as the safety of others on the road, is at risk.

When driving on the freeway. Car starts to wobble and the whole car starts to shake. The steering wheel trembles as well. Every time I hit a bump it starts to wobble more.. everyday it keeps getting worse as I drive it.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds, the vehicle started shaking violently and the vehicle was difficult to steer. The contact was able to bring the vehicle to a stop. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle had experienced the death wobble. The dealer removed the steering damper and completed the purge process and checked the torque of the lug nuts, and the tire pressure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Coastal Jeep Ram of Quincy (1724 W Jefferson St, Quincy, FL 32351); where it was diagnosed with the death wobble and found the star online publication case [XXX] for shimmy in front and confirmed that the failure was due to the steering damper and star online purge steering damper and performed a multipoint inspection. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Tallahassee Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Fiat, where it was diagnosed that the steering damper needed to be replaced, and a multipoint inspection was performed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the local dealer. No additional assistance was not provided. The failure mileage was approximately 13,510. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Recall 19a Jeep released a vehicle with a defective clutch assembly that required full replacement. Unfortunately, they "applied a software fix to a hardware problem". This still hasn’t solved things and is still very concerning. This fix is completely unacceptable. I have a 2023 Jeep with only 16k miles. The only acceptable solution would be a buy back. Someone needs to get involved. There are people with completely useless vehicles now.
See attached document for complaint.
The car lost all power while driving in traffic. Speed was ~30mph and at coming up to an intersection the car was acting erratically and the dash indicator lights all lit up. I went to slow down and move out of traffic and the car lost all engine power and electrical power. I could not restart the vehicle.
jeep caught on fire while it was parked in the driveway there as a ecall on the battery as it s a 4xe i had an appointment with the jeep dealer on the 16th of december and they cancelled it few days before the scheduled appointment they said they didnt have any loaners as it was a 2 day job they would call to reschedule they did not and it blew up on the 27th of december
Jeep and Dealers are failing to complete safety Recall NHTSA Recall Number24V-720. My vehicle was dropped off at the dealership ( Repair orders attached ) on Dec 11 for the recall . Jeep has launched the recall process which is a software update and a specific drive cycle. I have reasons to believe that the dealership did not properly followed the steps after the software updates. I have GPS logs to show. I had contacted Jeep support about that and I did not receive any positive help on this. Vehicle was sent out again on Jan 6th, but still I have no confidence that the steps were followed properly. Internet is flooded with how Jeep has poorly managed the recall process by over complicating the drive cycle and how dealers are negligent about the process. This is a safety recall and could cause fire/explosion and take lives. I strongly advise NHTSA to intervene and make JEEP/Dealers liable to ensure the process is followed.

I went to Crowley dealership in Bristol CT for the 95B recall fix. I do not believe it was done correctly as my jeep had not been driven at all. I have a picture of the mileage upon drop off and it matched the mileage at pickup. Jeep and Mopar are also not recognizing the recall as being fixed and still shows it as active. It was also strange that I received a call to come get a loaner vehicle as my Jeep would not be ready (drop off Sunday night, call received for rental Tuesday afternoon) and as I pulled into the parking lot, I received a voicemail my Jeep WAS in fact ready for pickup.

2 incidents of loss of power with the electric motor at high speed. The hybrid electric motor unexpectedly lost power at 75 mph on the highway, alongside other vehicles moving at the same speed. This sudden loss of power caused the vehicle to drop to 55 mph, and not go above that speed, risking a potential collision from behind. Driving at 55 mph on Texas highways with a speed limit of 75 mph is very dangerous. The second time was exactly like the first but at 60mph. It has not been able to be reproduced. it has been inspected several time by the dealership. There was no warning of any kind.
On October 27th, my Jeep started shaking violently as I was driving on the highway. I brought the Jeep to the dealership, they test drove it, and the mechanic did not experience the shaking so I was told “that’s just what Jeeps do”. I then researched Jeep shaking and found the Death Wobble is a common problem among Jeeps and there are several ways to fix it. I took my Jeep back to the dealership, they once again test drove it and could not replicate the wobble. They said I could leave it there and they could continue to drive it daily to find the problem, as they cannot fix it if the mechanic cannot experience the wobble. I don’t have another vehicle to drive and cannot leave my vehicle there indefinitely. They did an alignment, and sent me on my way. The jeep continues to violently wobble, today forcing me to pull off on the side of the highway. This is not safe, I feel terrified to drive it over 60 mph, and feel this is totally unacceptable to be told “this is what Jeeps do” and “this is just your vehicle”. I expect to feel safe in a $40,000 car I bought brand new last year.
When cold, the vehicle will shift hard and/or delay shifting both causing the vehicle to jerk or lunge forward. This happens between 3 & 4 gear. One dealer was not able to recreate the issue and another was able to. No repairs were made as Stellantis stated because there are no service lights on they are no mechanical issues. The problem continues to get worse. This appears to be a common problem.
Manufacturer Recall Number95B NHTSA Recall Number24V-720 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete Summary In rare circumstances, a battery pack may contain cells with separator damage. Separator damage, combined with other complex interactions within the cells, may lead to a vehicle fire. Safety Risk A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle, as well as property damage. Remedy FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles. Remedy is a software flash followed by a HV battery replacement if needed. ******* The above is the recall the was released in, i believe, October. I have been scared to drive the car since. I cant park it at my house because i only have driveway parking right next to my house. I am scared of this car. The recall fix is now available but all dealers within 40 miles either “dont have the fix”, “dont have any availability”, or “put you on a waiting list”. So after almost 3 months this deadly issue still is not fixed and cant be fixed.

Loss of power when driving with no warning. Jeep power cut out driving with D flashing. Safety risk was a car on the road driving with traffic then no power. Pulled over to the side to get off the road as far as I could. “Service Hybrid System” message appeared with blinking D. Started back up 20 minutes later. Dealer could not replicate.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Jeep 4xe: after coming to a complete stop or just slowing down and entering a lower gear, has a 1-2 second delay in the accelerator. Has caused tires to squeal when accelerator started to respond. Have almost caused accidents when becoming unresponsive as the vehicle will move forward but lose accelerator power. This happens infrequently and spontaneously which makes it impossible to plan for/ drive defensively against, cannot replicate or force it to happen. Vehicle can be inspected upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Vehicle will move forward after stopping, such as an intersection, and suddenly does not increase for 1-2 seconds making me a hazard to traffic. This happens maybe 1-3x a week and is impossible to replicate. Have been almost rear ended many times as no brake lights appear when this happens. Have almost been t-boned by oncoming traffic because of the delay. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Vehicle has had engine repaired and inspected by dealership. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.
The fact that Jeep has a recall that is not repairable for what appears to be months now is completely unacceptable. I bought this hybrid for a reason. To drive it around town without having to use gas. Now I can't charge my Jeep or park it in my garage? Then calling customer service is a joke. No buy back or gas reimbursement?
See attached document for complaint.
My vehicle is waiting for a fix for Recall 24V720000 / 95B – It is totally unacceptable that Jeep has no time frame for a solution for this horrific safety issue however my vehicle is having another even more dangerous issue that Jeep refuses to acknowledge and I know I am not the only one with this serious defect. My vehicle (2023 4Xe with 5000 miles) losses acceleration power… This has happened at least 10x over the past 5 months. The check engine light often flashes on and off or stays on steady during this. When engaging the gas pedal at various speeds (30-65MPH) the gas fails to respond or output any power causing the vehicle to slowdown dramatically. SIGNIFICANT risk of being crashed into. It takes flooring the gas pedal and anywhere from it 10-25 seconds for the power to kick back in / engage and accelerate. I have been trying to get this fixed since August. One Jeep dealership (had my vehicle for 36 days) replicated the issue but got ‘no code’ therefore they could not fix. Since the 24V720000 / 95B was announced 2 months ago no Jeep dealership (I have contacted over 18) will even attempt to investigate or fix this issue as they claim its related to the battery recall 24V720000 / 95B. I urge you to investigate this loss of power before something catastrophic occurs.
The battery recall from Jeep still does not have any tentative timeline and no further communications from Jeep. At this point, Jeep has not offered any compensation towards the gas costs which otherwise could have been much less with electricity. Safety is my primary concern and I have to rent vehicles for the major trips especially during the holiday months.
I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding the safety recall issued for my 2023 Jeep Wrangler Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) under Recall Number 95B/NHTSA 24V-720. The recall highlights a critical defect in the High Voltage (HV) battery, which poses a severe risk of fire due to internal cell damage caused by defective components. While I understand that FCA US LLC is working on a remedy, I have not been provided with a clear timeline for repairs, leaving me in a highly unsafe and uncertain situation. The fact that the recall advises against charging the vehicle and even recommends parking it away from structures and other vehicles emphasizes the magnitude of the fire hazard. This creates a significant inconvenience and renders the vehicle virtually unusable for its intended purpose. I no longer feel comfortable driving or even owning this vehicle, as the defect jeopardizes my safety, the safety of others, and my property. The lack of immediate resolution places me in a position where I am unable to confidently rely on this vehicle without fear of a catastrophic event. I urge the NHTSA to intervene and ensure that FCA US LLC provides a timely resolution, including exploring options for replacement or refund, as this defect makes the vehicle a danger to myself and the community. Given the serious nature of this recall, I feel that no consumer should be left waiting without an actionable solution while exposed to such a critical safety risk.
Second time we have had an issue with the battery. Unable to plug it is because of an unresolved battery recall, this time for over a month. We purchased the vehicle specifically for the battery and now we have to buy fuel.
My vehicle is currently under 95B recall from Jeep. I have spent more than 8 hours on hold, on the phone, via email, attempting a resolution as my Jeep is unable to be parked away from other vehicles or structures as I reside in a residential neighborhood, or away from structures at work, as I work at an elementary school with limited parking options. Jeep is completely aware of the situation and unwilling to provide a loaner vehicle as there are "not any available" at this time. With over 150,000 vehicles recalled, all vehicles at ANY Jeep dealer should be being offered as loaner vehicles at this time, as there is no fix for this situation in sight. My vehicle is at risk for bursting into flames at any moment. I cannot drive it using electricity which is why it was purchased. The vehicle is an ongoing threat to myself, my place of work, and my community, Jeep is aware, and they are not doing anything to resolve the issue. My Jeep only has 13,000 miles on it and is still under warranty. I have requested a buy back option as Jeep is unable to provide a safe location to store my vehicle or an alternative vehicle to drive, however have not heard back from their customer service team. I have emails, calls, and a contact log of all correspondence. The lack of customer service and solutions being offered to customers should be considered criminal as the risk of not just my 4xe, but all those under recall, are an immediate threat to the lives of others.
Recall 95B. I have been given the runaround for months on the status of this recall from the FCA recall center and Jeep. I purchased a hybrid Jeep 4xE with the main purpose of being able to run both electric and gas. However, jeep is telling me not to charge the vehicle, do not park it in the garage, and to make sure that it’s not parked near any structures because of explosion/fire hazard! This is completely unacceptable to not have a resolution for such a major concern in a timely manner.
On Friday, [XXX] I was driving my jeep to work in the early morning hours. I was about ½ mile from getting on the highway when my jeep completely shut down. Everything inside of my jeep went black and I was completely horrified. I managed to get the jeep started and was able to drive to work. When I got to work I immediately called Ourisman Jeep in Bowie Maryland and explained the problem to them. I brought the jeep in on Monday, October 7th and my Jeep has been there since then. After Ourisman having the jeep for two weeks, I was informed that my Jeep was part of a newly released recall involving electric jeeps with no projected resolution date. I no longer feel safe driving my Jeep and I have asked for a “swap” of sorts. I have requested another vehicle that is exactly the same as my current vehicle just NOT ELECTRIC. I was been advised that my request needed to be escalated but after many many conversations there is still no resolution to my request. I am absolutely disappointed with the way this situation has been handled. I cannot help but think of the deadly repercussions had I been on the highway when this incident occurred. I did not ask for this inconvenience that is totally exhausted me financially and emotionally. I am driving a rental car that I am paying for wit the understanding of reimbursement once I return the vehicle. This issue is not one that I created but rather a failing on the corporation to provide a swift and satisfying resolution. While I’m sure this may cause Jeep to lose significant revenue, I find it completely disgusting that they would put corporate dollars before the safety of its owners. As of today 11/22/26 I have no resolution, no car and paying close to $400.00 per week for a rental car! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Complaint Regarding Recall 24V720000 – Jeep Wrangler 4xe (2023 Model) I am filing this complaint regarding the recall of my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN: [XXX] - under Recall Number 24V720000, issued due to a potential fire risk. This defect represents a severe safety hazard that jeopardizes the safety of my family, property, and others. Details of the Issue: The recall was issued due to a defect in the hybrid powertrain that could result in a fire, even when the vehicle is parked and turned off. Jeep/Stellantis has advised owners to: •Refrain from charging the vehicle. •Park it away from structures and other vehicles. This advisory alone highlights the gravity of the issue, rendering the vehicle unsafe to use as intended. Steps Taken to Remedy: •I have contacted my dealership and Stellantis to schedule a repair; however, no remedy has been made available to date. •It has become clear that Stellantis is unable to provide a timely or effective solution to fix this safety-critical defect. Lemon Law Qualification: California Lemon Law, under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, provides protections for substantial defects that impair the use, value, or safety of a vehicle. The following criteria are met: 1.Substantial Safety Defect: A fire risk qualifies as a substantial defect that threatens the safety of occupants and property. 2.Reasonable Repair Attempts: Despite the recall, Stellantis has not resolved the issue, and the vehicle remains unusable for its intended purpose. 3.Unresolved Issue: My vehicle has been effectively out of service due to safety concerns, and Stellantis has been unable to provide a timeline for resolution. Request for Buyback: Given the seriousness of this defect and the inability to remedy it, I am requesting that Stellantis initiate a buyback under California Lemon Law. A fire risk is not an issue to delay or hope for a fix—it demands immediate resolution. I have kept detailed records of all communication INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am being told by Stellantis that the car is unsafe to park in or near structures. I was also told not to charge it b/c that was also unsafe. There is zero timeline for repair and no updates provided. This was a very expensive vehicle that is currently parked 100 yards from my house and completely unusable.

Open 95B recall. High voltage battery safety issue, can cause fire. Advised not to charge, not to park indoors, and away from structures. There is no root cause, no parts, no firm timeline and I the manufacturer has been unresponsive. Initial contact was 10/31, and I have not yet received any follow-up from them (though I have contacted them proactively 3+ times). This is a leased vehicle with 13K miles and the dealer is not helpful, the manufacturer is not helpful, and quite frankly this level of concern is unnerving, and escalated in terms of anxiety and fear for what 'could or might happen'. To top it off not only do we have one of these vehicles, but two of them, both impacted.
This message/complaint is regarding NHTSA Recall Number 24V-720 (Manufacturer Recall Number95B). The recall was issued on 9/27/2024 and a remedy is still not available. I specifically bought this Jeep because of the hybrid option. The recall is preventing me from using hybrid mode. Due to the recall, I am also not able to park my car in my garage. My safety is put in risk due to the fact that my car could catch on fire.
On August 18, 2024 after charging the vehicle it showed a 95% charge instead of 100%. Immediately after attempting to drive the car, it began to stall and multiple warning laps/messages were on the dash board including “service charging system, check engine, red plug light, red battery light, red wrench with lightning bolts, red lightning bolt with backwards parentheses)(.” Car was not able to be driven more than a few miles per hour and a few feet before it stalled. During an attempt to drive the car and move it to a secure parking spot, the car stalled and large amounts of smoke came out of the exhaust smelling like burning. Car was towed to dealership. Car was unable to be towed onto the tow truck, tow truck driver had to just start the car 3 times and drive it up the tow truck ramp with jumper pack attached to car battery. This situation was unsafe for myself as the driver, surrounding cars/pedestrians, and for the tow truck driver who drove the car in order to tow it. When the dealership was diagnosing the vehicle problem, the replicated the problem. Initially the tech states the car is drivable and all set. When I questioned that a similar issue occurred when the vehicle was brand new and the plug needed to be changed and the whole hybrid system was disabled for 5 months while waiting for the part, the tech/manager continued to assess the car and stated the hybrid battery needs to be changed and the car cannot be driven. It took 4 weeks to receive and replace the part. The car and charging was working perfectly fine until I received the recall on the replaced battery of fire risk and not to drive it charged, park inside or near cars and buildings. This continues to be a threat daily to myself as the driver, cars around me and where I park. Such guidelines cannot be avoided and this car continues to have issues with the hybrid component that are not only unsafe but a complete waste of money for the consumer.

While driving on [XXX] to upstate NY in heavy traffic on [XXX], my Jeep Wrangler 4xe lost power and showed the error message "Put vehicle in Park and shift gear" while at highway speed. I had no ability to accelerate but steering was still enabled and allowed me to pull over to the side of the road to investigate. Fortunately I was being followed by another member of my family and they provided a bit of a roadblock to allow us to navigate the traffic. At the time power was lost, the console had several warning lights including the check engine light, multiple battery system lights and others. After shutting the Jeep off, it started up again normally as if nothing had happened. I called the dealer who basically said they couldn't reproduce the issue but it had happened to others and clears on its own. Additionally, up to this point, the Jeep had several times been unable to charge in the warm summer weather with error messages Check Charging System and the Check Engine Light which I was able to clear with an OBDII scanner.

The safety of this vehicle is a ticking time bomb. We are instructed not to park in or near a structure, near other vehicles, or charge it. Even if I don’t not charge it how am I supposed to park at my own home? How am I supposed to park at work? You are putting several lives at risk not to mention others vehicles, houses, businesses. I do search and rescue and have my k9 with me pretty much at all times. I am told it can ignite at anytime but it’s ok to leave my dog in? Where is the safety and concern over my highly trained k9 let alone family pet. I will never feel safe with this car again. I asked if they even replaced the battery if they could tell me it wouldn’t happen with the new battery and I could park back in my garage and they said no they couldn’t say it wouldn’t happen again.
My vehicle has been under an urgent recall for over a month and there is still no remedy. I cannot use the vehicle as intended due to risk of battery fire.

Jeep Death Wobble- car shakes violently at freeway speeds (anything over 45 mph) if even small bumps or rain ruts in road. Car is stock parts (no modifications) and has not been used off-road. First occurred at less than 18K miles- repair made by Jeep Dealer, but issue returned within 10K miles. 2nd attempt at repair was blamed by dealer on tires off-balance, however issue has continued to occur. 3rd attempt was made to meet with Service manager at dealership, however he failed to show for meeting and then did not return calls.
This is a hybrid vehicle. I received a recall notice that the vehicle cannot be plugged in to charge or parked near any other vehicles or structures until the recall is repaired. I work at a mall, and I live in an apartment building, so this is not possible for me. It feels dangerous to own this car. I purchased it to save on gas, and now I can’t even do that for the foreseeable future. None of the local dealerships and nobody online has any information on when these parts will be available. 2 dealerships could not give me any information or assistance. I was told to fill out this form.
Recall 95B they cant fix
I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the unresolved safety recall 95B affecting my Jeep Wrangler. As a parent, my children’s safety is my utmost priority, and knowing that the battery—a component at risk due to this recall—is positioned directly under their seats has made me extremely uneasy. I no longer feel confident or safe driving this vehicle with them inside. Despite the recall, I have been informed there is currently no remedy available. This lack of a solution leaves me without a secure vehicle and heightens my concerns over the risks associated with continuing to drive it. Additionally, my request for a buyback has been denied, which is disheartening given the absence of an available remedy and the potential safety hazards involved. I am seeking immediate assistance and a resolution that prioritizes the safety of my family.

My vehicle was impacted by NHTSA Recall 24V-720. FCA has done nothing to fix the problem and has no forecast for the parts or repairs. Meanwhile, I cannot charge my $60K vehicle, or park it at my house. I have been trying to reach FCA for 3 days now and nobody answers their phone calls either. This is the worst customer service on a safety issue that I have ever seen. I know most Jeep owners are just continuing to drive and charge their Jeeps because otherwise, you have no vehicle.
[XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Oct 21 2014 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE West Building Washington, DC 20590 Subject: Urgent Safety Concern and Financial Loss Related to 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe – VIN: [XXX] ] Dear NHTSA, I am writing to formally report a significant safety concern and financial hardship I have experienced as a result of owning a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe, VIN: [XXX] ]. On [XXX], while the vehicle was charging at [XXX], it caught fire. The vehicle had no pending services or recalls at the time of the incident. To my further dismay, in October 2024, Jeep issued a global recall for this model, citing battery issues. This only confirms my suspicion that the fire in my vehicle was the result of a manufacturing defect. Given the timing of the recall, I believe my incident is directly related to this defect, and the issue raises significant safety concerns. The total cost of my vehicle was approximately $78,454, and I have only driven it for about 15,000 miles. After filing an insurance claim, I was offered $45,215, which does not adequately cover the financial loss I have incurred. This leaves me at a significant financial deficit. Additionally, I have been renting a car for the last six weeks due to this incident, which has further cost me approximately $36,000. I have contacted Jeep’s customer support and created a case (number: [XXX]), but despite my efforts, I have yet to receive any meaningful response or resolution from Jeep. This situation has caused not only significant financial strain but also immense mental stress. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue thoroughly and ensure that Jeep takes responsibility for their defective vehicles. I am seeking compensation that appropriately reflects the financial losses I have suffered, ideally in the form of either a replacement INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The High Voltage battery pack in my vehicle may have been built with cells that are susceptible to separator damage. Separator damage, combined with other complex interactions within the cells, may lead to a vehicle fire. A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle, as well as property damage. Vehicle risk is reduced when the battery charge level is depleted. Accordingly, owners are advised to refrain from recharging. Out of an abundance of caution, FCA US is also advising owners of these vehicles to park away from structures or other vehicles until the remedy is obtained. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. There is an open recall on the defect, however there is no remedy currently available. Due to the severity of the defect and the inability to use the vehicle as intended, including safely parking the vehicle or recharge the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, I believe the terms of my lease agreement have been breached by Chrysler and I wish to return the vehicle and terminate the lease without penalty.

UNKNOWN. Jeep’s dashboard and the indicator by shift (Park) illuminates randomly while parked and drains the battery. After the latest event battery voltage tested to 4.4V. Jeep won’t even make a click sound when trying to start. This happened first week of new car delivery and three more times within past eight months. I spoke to the sales agent after first event and he said it will be noted. Second time dealer service replaces both main and auxiliary battery. A month later dealer service just recharged both batteries for the same issue. Now the jeep is having same issue and taken to the dealership for service. Engine light also came on after the latest event. The jeep is still at the service center for last 13 days. They informed me that both batteries are replaced and the error codes for engine light are P1AE2 and P1E75. I’m not aware of any other attempts to find the cause of the issue.

A recall with a vehicle that could start on fire is acceptable to drive, recall 95B-Jeep
The dealership states there are NO active recalls on the vehicle. I’ve taken it in multiple times for the same complaints but they always say they “cannot reproduce” the issue and brush me off. This vehicle seems to have something wrong with the transmission and is often jumpy during acceleration and often times struggles with the braking process. It almost seems like it’s getting a burst of acceleration that I have to fight against while braking. It has been quite scary at times. I have stopped charging the vehicle bc the charger gets incredibly hot near the handle, even when I use public chargers. One time the vehicle died while I was driving at approximately 55 miles per hour. The dealership stated it was bc I was “low on gas” and blew it off as user error.

Windshield has cracked multiple times (multiple windshields) in the center, bottom of the glass, spontaneously. Both event were in cold weather. There were no chips or impacts to the windshield.
On July 15th , July 30th and August 11th 2024 the gas pedal on my less than 2 month old Jeep Wrangler 4xE did respond / engage while driving and pressing on the pedal. It felt like the car was dying. This happened at three different speeds, 65mph on the highway, 30mph on a side road and around 40mph on a state road. In addition to the gas pedal not working/ vehicle not moving forward the vehicle also seemed to slow it self down, like i was breaking however i was not and as the vehicle slowed down it was shaking vigorously all 3 times. This is incredibly dangerous and unsafe. I contacted over 20 jeep dealerships and jeep corporate before I was able to get an appointment - this vehicle was looked at by a dealership and I have been told they 'have no codes' and 'everything is fine' In addition to the loss of power, gas failure, non responsive gas pedal I have counted over 10 incidences where this vehicle has a delay in acceleration of 3 - 8 seconds before lurching and jerking forward at various speeds, some of the times vehicle has also shaked other times the jerking is so severe if feels like you've been rear ended. Jeep is not taking these concerns seriously, I am reporting in hopes that you will and maybe others have reported similar issues and we can get some answers and repairs figured out as this car is unsafe and I do not want me or my children to be a statistic of a horrible accident that should have been a recall / fix issued by jeep.
Purchased 8/5/2024. Driving 45mph on 8/9/2024 -all warning lights began going on and off then Jeep just stopped leaving the D flashing and the message to press brake and push to start. Took a few moments to get it into Park. Restarted and took to dealer. They charged all batteries and returned 4 days later. 2 days later, Next incident, 25 mph shut down, almost hit from behind and had to deal with irate driver. Resumed after getting into park and switched to gas mode to drive to dealership. Picked up 6 days later and told no codes so no problem. 3 more incidents, remains at dealership service since 8/26/24.
Climate control does not function at all. Climate control controls were blinking and the following day nothing was working. No air conditioning or heat is present. Just says a message "climate off". No warning lamps are present. There should be at least a default to heat because people can freeze in the winter time.
While driving in all electric mode, car abruptly lost power and would not accelerate. After power loss, car lunged forward abruptly without noticeable cause. I worried I had been hit from behind and quickly checked the rearview mirror, but nothing had impacted the back of my Jeep. “D” symbol for “drive” on the shifter was flashing. Not sure what was happening on the instrument panel. I hurried and shut off the ignition and then restarted it and the vehicle started up again without issue. Jeep is currently at the dealer for inspection. There were no prior indications or warning lights on in the vehicle when this occurred. It could have been much more dangerous should I have been moving at a faster speed on the highway. I was fortunately moving in thick morning traffic and not on a highway when the loss of power occurred.
I was going 70 with my child in my car and The car seemed like it lost communication and I was on a highway with cars moving around me and almost hitting me . Car engine overheats after I’ve taken it to jeep several times.
This has now happened multiple times. The first time this happened, i was driving on the freeway and my car had started flashing lights telling me my electrical charging system was faulty. When this flashed, my "D" (for drive) on my dashboard started blinking and the car lost power. I was in the fast lane with no shoulder and had to pull 5 lanes over, nearly hitting an unquantifiable amount of cars. When the car reached roughly 15-10 miles per hour as I was merging, it put itself into park and would not let me shift back into gear. At this point I was still in the number 2 lane and had cars swerve around me. I tried turning on the car multiple times and finally after the fifth or sixth time, it turned on and drove to the shoulder. The dealership was unable to replicate the issue but had heard of the problem before. They said that they would try to diagnose the issue but they could not. The other times that it had happened, I had a very similar experience. Some situations safer than others. When i took it in again, they were unable to fix it. I've now given up because Jeep is unable to fix the issue.
Engine turns off completely in mid drive on highway. Unable to turn engine back on. Issue occurred on 7/31/24 after the vehicle was repaired and returned on the following Friday 08/09/24 engine turned off again in mid drive on the highway on 8/14/24. Me and my wife dodged a TWO near death experiences due to the engine failure occurring mid drive on the highway driving 70 mph during rush hour traffic. We barely had enough time to use the reserved power from the failed engine to move the vehicle immediately to the emergency lane. This vehicle has now turned into a safety hazard.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that 3 months after purchasing the vehicle, while driving approximately 25 MPH and making a left turn, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The instrument panel displayed a message to “Shift to Park” and then shift to the desired gear. The contact placed the vehicle in park and then back to drive to continue driving the vehicle. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The failure then occurred an additional three times. The vehicle was returned to the dealer however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
I just purchased this car on Monday. While driving it Tuesday it completely shut off on me.
Loss of power pulling into traffic 6/6/24, nearly causing an accident, hybrid battery stopped working. CEL and service charging system light. Called dealer and not able to get service appointment until 6/26/24. Used vehicle unsafely until 6/26 without battery. Dropped off at dealer 6/26 and just received the vehicle with repair today, 7/24/24 28 days later.
2023 Jeep 4xe - Loss of Motive Power This is the 2nd time i have had Loss of Motive Power. Both time running Highway Speeds. 68MPH, Cruise set, (Speed Limit 70), 1,800RPM, 20 %Power. Vehicle just losses power. RPM Drops to 0 and % Power drops to 0. (Sorry not to clear on dashboard data as trying to safely get car out of heavy traffic and on side of road) Dash show something red on Plug in, Then1st that Vehicle is limit mode/limited speed, and 2nd, pull over when safely able. Then 3rd Shift to P then Desired Gear. Florida driving, 1st time in afternoon. sunny, outside Temp. was 86. 2nd time in morning, dusk, outside temp was 79.
jeep just shut down while heading down interstate 81 about 70 mph in far 3fd left lane not much time to exit the highway had to sit on the left side of the highway and put in Park and restart it did start up after the complete shutdown
Loss of power while driving in Electric mode with sufficient battery charge left. This has happened multiple times at speeds greater than 55 MPH. No error codes were reported on the dash. Required the car to be put manually into hybrid mode for power to be restored.
When driving the jeep and the engine light comes on (this light comes on and off repeatedly but is mostly on). When the light is on you will have major issues when trying to accelerate regardless of the speed. if you push the gas to full acceleration the speed will drop down from 3-5 mph or completely drop to zero. If you leave your foot on the gas it will take 15-30 seconds for the engine to engage and provide power. It feels like its trying to look to the battery EV motor for power even though the battery is dead. in same cases the engine does not restart at all and i have had to pull over to the hard shoulder to pull off of live traffic. I have several videos showing the issue. i have been to the deal 4 times to have this reviewed and they keep telling me they can't find an issue regardless of the videos i have provided. at this time Jeep has taken my Vehicle and gave me a long term rental as they look into this issue more. My Videos are on my cell phone and i can't get them uploaded. I think i could compress the videos and e-mail them.
Apparent temporary loss of motive power
My husband was going 65mph on the highway in e-save mode with ~1% battery and 3/4 tank of gas. The “service charge system” error popped up with other red errors on the sides and the uconnect also posted an error. He described the incident as it felt like the transmission was failing. He coasted off the highway, thankfully safely, and put it in park. Then it died. He powered it back on and tried to put it back in e-save and it said e-save not available. He started driving again as he was making the journey to pick up our son from camp. An hour later, while back on the 3 lane highway, he experienced the exact same thing, this time having to pull off to the side of the interstate. At this point, he was not comfortable continuing the drive in this unreliable and unsafe car, and had it towed. Furthermore, we didn’t feel safe putting our kids in the back of a car that stops on you at high speeds. Fast forward to the next day, the dealer called and they told me nothing was wrong with the vehicle. I immediately called Jeep cares. 3 business days later, Jeep Cares called back and said they are not willing to buy back our vehicle but will have it towed 190 miles to a dealer that is closer to our house. This shows me that they are 100% aware of this issue but don’t want to lose their shirt on this car. I refuse to drive it now, especially with my kids. Hoping the dealership next to us is actually able to recreate the issue and figure out next steps.
I HAVE A 2023 JEEP WRANGLER 4X3, IT HAS BEEN THE SAME SINCE MARCH 28, 2023 AT THE ALBERIC CHRISLER DEALER IN SAN JUAN PUERTO RICO. IT HAS PROBLEMS WITH CHARGING AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO CHARGE. THEY CHANGED A MODULE AND IT DOESN'T CHARGE. AS THE 23V787000 CAMPAIGN HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED TO PUERTO RICO, THE DEALER HAS NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY COULD DELIVE IT TO ME AND AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.
The 2023 jeep wrangler 4ex shutdown on highway at speed 75 mile/h!!!!! And cannot restart, gear only in P position. Only towing
On three separate occasions, the vehicle I own has suffered from a complete loss of power during operation. The initial incident (09/02/2023) occurred shortly after merging onto the westbound lane of Highway 71. Without warning, the vehicle ceased to function, coming to an immediate and forceful stop that nearly resulted in a collision with other vehicles traveling at approximately 60 MPH. The vehicle was rendered immobile, with the wheels locked as if in gear, necessitating its removal via a flatbed tow truck. The dealership was unable to restore the vehicle’s functionality and ultimately replaced the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The second incident (03/08/24) involved a similar sudden loss of power while traveling on Highway 1. This failure resulted in a total loss of power, including both power-assisted brakes and steering, eliminating my ability to signal to other drivers as the vehicle drifted. I was forced to maneuver across three lanes of traffic to reach the safety of the roadside. After several attempts, the vehicle eventually restarted. The most recent occurrence (05/13/2024) mirrored the previous incidents, with the vehicle losing all power and leaving me stranded on the side of Highway 71. Given these repeated and unpredictable malfunctions, which pose a severe risk to safety and severely hinder the normal operation of the vehicle, I am no longer willing to allow my son to drive this vehicle. I firmly believe these issues constitute a significant and life-threatening safety hazard.
While slow braking and pulling into a parking space, the jeep jerked , lunged forward and proceeded to go through the storefront glass and inside the building! 3 people were injured. The engineer was unable to pull data from the EDR due to the speed and no airbags deployed. The jeep is currently at the collision center and they are searching for a mechanic to go over it. Seems difficult to find anyone qualified to do so. I am 100% sure the jeep malfunctioned and accelerated forward. I have read of similar incidents on your site. I will never drive it again as I know it is unsafe!! I would appreciate any help you or anyone else can give me. I am currently working with my insurance company on the claims. I also hired a forensic investigator.
When operating the vehicle about ~50mph, and if you drive over a pothole, or bump in the road, the frontend of the vehicle wobble/vibrate uncontrollably. The only solution (I have found) is to lower the speed (which is obviously a problem on the freeway). I purchased the vehicle new from the dealer, have not made any modifications, and they (the dealer) is telling me the tires are the source of the "death wobble" problem. I have spoken to other Jeep owners that have had the same issue and it had nothing to do with the tires. The solution from the dealers perspective is "replace all four tires" (they claim its the Firestone brand of tires) at my expense.
While driving the vehicle it will suddenly shut down the engine. Then the letter "D" starts to blink on the gear shift lever. I am able to restart the car by turning it off, waiting for 5 minutest and then restart the car. I turned in the car 3 weeks ago and they still do not know what the problem is.
Driving down a street when the Jeep shut down all propulsion systems and sent an error code that the charging system would not work. We moved safely to the side of the road, restarted the Jeep, and drove home with no error lights. The next day, the Jeep threw error codes again upon startup. We took to the dealer who is analyzing.
Passenger side rear quarter window of soft top blew off while traveling on highway. Top was properly secured prior traveling with vehicle.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH in the rain with the defroster activated, there was an abnormal popping sound detected, and the front windshield cracked without warning or impact. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.
While driving on highway/freeway at approx 70 mph 2023 Jeep wrangler 4xe suddenly lost power/engine shut down. I coasted safely and pulled over from the fast lane to the right lane of the freeway to the shoulder. Vehicle was able to be restarted and able to be driven. Now at the dealership.
I was driving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 2 Door Willys on a 4 lane divided road approaching a stop light. The stoplight was red so I started slowing down approximately 200 feet from the intersection. I applied the brake pedal and the vehicle started to slow down. As I was approaching the intersection I could feel the vehicle accelerating and it was difficult to get it to stop. I was almost stopped approximately 3 - 5 feet from the vehicle in front of me, when the jeep lunged forward and struck the vehicle in front of me. The jeep continued to accelerate and was trying to push the vehicle in front of me. I shoved the gear shift into Park and that stopped the acceleration. I never took my foot off of the brake pedal during the entire incident. The force of the acceleration lifted the front of my vehicle and my bumper went on top of the other vehicle's bumper and dented the rear hatch of the other vehicle. There were no indicator lights before or after the incident. I drove the vehicle to my home approximately a mile from the accident without issues. I later had the vehicle towed to the CDJR dealer for inspection. After 3 weeks in the Service center, they did not find any issues and could not reproduce the problem and the vehicle was released back to me.
Check Engine on. Battery don’t charge. Dealer don’t have diagnostic to the battery problem.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the contact was veering to the right when the steering wheel failed to respond as needed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle needed a stabilizer however, the part was on backorder. The contact also stated that the steering wheel was shaking when the vehicle was first purchased new and that the vehicle was taken to the dealer at least five times prior to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the part would be sent sooner. The approximate failure mileage was 14,217.
The gauge cluster freezes from time to time. And it is scary while driving.
Driving on interstate @ 65 mph, in very heavy traffic, experienced death wobble after going over a road seam bump, making it hard to control the vehicle. Slowed down to 50 and it stopped. I was terrified I was going to crash. It happened several more times during the same trip, whenever over 55 mph. Brought to dealer on 11/27/2023. Dealer says Stellantis is aware of the issue -- and has been sued for it in the past -- but it's been 4 months and Stellantis has not yet provided the replacement part. This is a brand new vehicle with about 4,000 miles on it, and the death wobble continues to occur whenever over 55 mph. Infuriating that Stellantis is aware of this issue yet is still installing malfunctioning parts.
Starting in late February 2024, my new vehicle has had numerous major oil leaks which have not been able to be repaired successfully. Oil has leaked out and pooled on the drivers side of the transmission bell house. Given the oil leaks proximity to the heat from the turbo charger down pipe, exhaust pipe, and various other ignition sources, the vehicle is at an elevated risk for catching on fire. This could result in a accident or serious bodily injury up to death of myself or others. I no longer feel safe operating this vehicle. Given the volume of oil leaking from the undercarriage of the vehicle, the vehicle is at an elevated risk for engine seizure from lack of lubrication. This could result in the engine stalling causing an accident or serious bodily injury up to death of myself or others. I no longer feel safe operating this vehicle. The vehicle has been repaired three separate times by the dealership, no warning lights ever appeared.
At speeds between 55-65 MPH, inconsistently the car will shake so violently I have to nearly stop the car to make cease shaking. The vehicle shakes so badly other drivers slow down to avoid being around. It feels as though it’s going to fall apart. I’ve taken the car 4 times now for repair and the dealership has had the car for 32 consecutive days with no solution.
Brand new jeep has been at the dealership for 11weeks to have electrical issues and radio issues fixed. As of today, it still has not been fixed but the dealership wants to release it back to me until a special group of engineers/IT come up with a remedy. The vehicle has never ran properly.
When driving the vehicle at 60mph or faster, the steering wheel will begin to shake uncontrollably and continue to rattle for approximately 30 seconds until the vehicle is reduced speed to about 40mph or less. If I resume speed again, the shaking vibrations will continue to happen repeatedly. This puts my safety at risk when I attempt to drive on the freeway and approach the speed limit and causes me to reduce my speed to an unsafe speed far lower than the flow of traffic on the freeway. In addition, while the vehicle is vibrating/shaking, there is a lack of control of the vehicle and puts the driver in a panic state, because it feels like a flat/blown tire at such a high speed. The vehicle was taken into the dealership and they would not check the problem until I paid for an alignment maintenance fee of over $300. Therefore, I proceeded with the costs and they discovered some parts that need to be replaced by the factory. In spite of this, the dealership is holding me responsible for the process of elimination charges because the extended warranty XF1 and recall V41 are not attached to my VIN on this vehicle. However, these recalls are attached to vehicles made on or before November 2020 and my vehicle was built November 2022. I am aware of this issue, because my prior jeep wrangler vehicle was a 2019 and I experienced the same safety issues, and I brought it in and found out about the recall issued and it was repaired for my safety. However, the same safety issues are occurring in my 2023 jeep wrangler with only 25,000 miles on it, but no recalls are attached to my VIN to assist with the problem. Each time the vehicle malfunctions there is no warning lamps, no messages or any other symptoms of the problem prior to failure. The incident first started to appear around 2/2/2024 & continued to happen more frequently with time. I scheduled the repair at the jeep dealership on 2/27/2024 and they currently still have my vehicle for this malfunction.
steering wobble, dealer gives us the run around, finally gives us 18 weeks lead time for new steering vibration dampener, car shakes on highways and is not save to drive, dealing with Jeep is unacceptable
While driving on the freeway, the car showed a message saying “performance issue” and lost power. I couldn’t accelerate and the car stopped. I couldn’t power on or down the car. It looked like an alternator issue and it wasn’t giving enough power to the battery. AAA arrived hour and half later. Tried to jump but it didn’t do anything. Finally had to tow the car to the nearest dealership. The car is not even a year old and has less than 10k miles. Its a safety issue being stuck like that without any warning signs at middle of the freeway!
Vehicle continues to shut down while driving. Has happened over 10 times and have brought it in several times. Shuts down while driving at hiway speed. Have to get it stopped and then all the electrical goes haywire flashing. Eventually shutdown the truck and wait and restart. After 15 min or so able to get it to power up and drive again. Will do it again and again. Very dangerous. After about an hour the engine lights and everything goes away as if nothing happened. I also have video of the dashboard from one of the times it did it.
My 2023 Jeep Wrangler is experiencing the "Death Wobble" while driving down the highway or on uneven paved roads. During the "Death Wobble", the steering wheel starts shaking uncontrollably. I have to decelerated to regained control of the vehicle, at which point the shaking of the steering wheel stops. This has become a persistent failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as having defective tires from Bridgestone. The dealership is requesting the consumer buy new tires to remediated the death wobble and defective tires from Bridgestone.
Experiencing the "Death Wobble" when driving on uneven paved roads/bumps/railroad tracks at speeds as low at 40 miles per hour.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH and driving over a bump in the road, the steering wheel started shaking uncontrollably. The vehicle had experienced a death wobble. The contact decelerated and regained control of the vehicle, and the shaking of the steering wheel ceased. The contact stated that the failure occurred at 50 MPH or speeds exceeding 50 MPH. There were no warning lights illuminated. The failure became a persistent failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front axle and front-end failure were caused by a defective steering damper. The dealer expressed that there was no remedy for the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
This is the second time this jeep stalls out on us. This most recent time we were traveling on the freeway going about 70mph when all the sudden the jeep’s motor shuts off and is unresponsive. We are literally coasting in the middle of nowhere hoping the vehicle has enough momentum to get out of the way. Something was blinking on the dash but i couldnt pay attention to that as I was trying to pull over safely. Jeep did not start back up until 2 hours of of waiting on freeway. There are a ton of recalls for this vehicle and as it sits right now the plug in for EV port is not working at all. It makes a ton a strange noises. And to top it off this is a rental car that shouldnt be on the streets earning revenue. This jeep needs to be appropriately recalled before someone gets injured.
Since new in December 2023 this vehicle has excessive wander while driving straight. This requires constant correction of the steering wheel just to go straight. Anything less than 100% attention can result in loss of control. The wander is related to excessive free play of the steering wheel which allows approximately 2” in each direction from center before the tires move. Three visits to two Jeep dealers resulted in “functioning normally” diagnosis summaries. This is a safety issue in my opinion and Jeep at least needs a documented procedure for dealerships to measure the steering free play.
My gas gauge read 37 miles till empty and then died in the middle of a main rd. Had to get it towed $320 for the tow and $200 diagnostic fee. Just to find out that the gas gauge is incorrect and not to trust it.
Violent shaking of the front end (wheels/tires and steering wheel) after hitting a bump in the road. The “death wobble” occurred twice since I bought the vehicle new from a dealership about a year ago. The miles are low (2,000) as the Jeep is my extra vehicle, and no modifications have been done. The first time it happened I was going about 55 mph, and the second time about 65 mph. After the second incident I reviewed the internet and saw the death wobble class action suit that does not cover post-2020 Wranglers. Both incidents occurred during the day on dry and well maintained roads. I made a dealership appointment after the second occurrence, but can’t get in until 1/9/2024. Loss of steering/control in traffic makes this a serious issue.
Going over a bump at 45 mph or greater results in the death wobble. Will not stop shaking until the vehicle slows down.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V116000 (Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Our jeep is a leased vehicle with approx 5,200 miles. While riding on the highway going approx 65 mph the vehicle began to death wobble causing the driver to nearly lose control of the car. We were on a 4 lane interstate that could have resulted in a severe accident had the driver actually lost control. With so few miles on the vehicle there is no reason other than a manufacturing defect that would explain how this vehicle could already be experiencing death wobble, a known issue with jeeps
When vehicle is in drive gear, the steering system has a high pitch squeal. It gets louder when the steering wheel is turned. It makes the squealing noise when the tires are straight, when turned a little left or right, and all the way left and right. No warning lights are on or have ever turned on. The engine area also makes a loud tapping noise only when in gear. Loud enough to hear in the cab. I took it to the dealership, after they had it for over 8 hours, I was told all was normal, and even another new model makes the same noises. It must be the new electrical steering system sounds. To have an inspection done, I had to wait 2 weeks for an appointment, after I had asked if it was normal and the service manager heard and confirmed, a service mechanic and the lead mechanic. All came out at a different time said something sounds like it might be off. The steering issue puts me at risk and other drivers, mainly truck drivers because this vehicle is my daily driver,and I put about 40-80 miles daily, at least 3/4 of the time is driving on a major highway. Our highway has had a ton of roadwork recently, which puts workers at risk.
As I was driving home at around 45 mph, I noticed a flashing light on the dashboard. The light was instructing me to switch to 'P' to start. Additionally, there was a light indicating a plug-in, and the 'D' was flashing. I wasn't sure what was happening, but I knew something was wrong. Gradually, the acceleration slowed down, and I started to feel uneasy. I quickly pulled over to the side of the road. Luckily, the car behind me wasn't speeding, and they were able to slow down and give me space. I put the car in park, turned it off, and then turned it on again. After doing so, I waited for a few seconds, hoping that the problem would be resolved. To my relief, the flashing lights disappeared, and the car started normally. I checked the dashboard again, and everything seemed to be in order. I resumed driving but couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Now, driving on the highway in Orlando worries me.
Lost total power in the fast lane on the freeway! Lots of flashing indicators: "Service Charging System", "Brake and Push Button to Start", Transmission Gear "D" flashing with the gear it was in "D and little 8", telling me to put it in Park while I was driving on the freeway trying to get over to the side...how is that even possible?, further it was coming to a stop quickly like a heavy regenerative braking was one making it even more dangerous as we would about to come to a total stop on the freeway! (I read someone in a Tesla died this way). This was dangerous for us and the cars around us. I have read they have a recall for this very issues in Dec 2022, but MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED in the recall so there is a much bigger issue going on! All my recalls are up to date per the dealership. So need NHTSA to step in/up! I attached pictures of what was on the dash after we got over the side of the freeway (was not able to record while it occur for safety reasons, of course).
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle had experienced severe front end shaking and vibration after driving over a railroad track or a bump in the roadway. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 9,000.
I had gone out to do errands in the morning. My errands were in a nearby military base, approximately 4 miles from my home. When I returned, I parked in my driveway. When I went back to my vehicle to retrieve something, there was a large (approximately 2 foot) crack on my windshield. It was not there on my morning errand run and there was no other way the windshield would have cracked. This is a 2023 Jeep purchased on March 11, 2023. The vehicle currently only has 3,141 miles on it. I am concerned that there is a defect on the windshield glass, a much crucial part of a vehicle's safety feature. There are other Jeepers are reporting the same issue, but we have no place to turn to because the dealers shut us down!
When hitting bumps on the highway, my Jeep gets what is referred to as the “death wobble”. The steering wheel (and wheels themselves) shake violently. This is such a well known occurance that it actually had the term “death wobble” assigned to it. It is very hard to maintain control of the vehicle when this happens, creating a hazard for me and others in vehicles around me. Many times I have to come to a complete stop to stop the shaking. This is also a problem because I have to decrease speed quickly and pull off the road, creating a collision risk if anyone is following closely or cannot get over into another lane. This has occurred on multiple occasions.
I was driving about 35 mph on a residential street on 10/24/23 at approximately 18:30 listening to a podcast steaming from my phone. The Jeep was in BEV mode and the ICE motor was not activated for my entire drive home. A warning chime sounded and I looked at the center display and it said, "Depress brake and shift out of P to drive." I was already driving and the transmission indicator read D3 (drive, third gear). Power was lost and the vehicle would not accelerate. I started to slow down so I attempted to pull over and put the vehicle into neutral. The transmission would not shift into neutral. Then, as I slowed towards a curb, the car abruptly stopped without warning causing the car behind me to swerve out of the way or it would have rear ended me. The brake lights did not illuminate when I was forced to stop. The center display showed "Depress brake and shift out of P to drive." I shifted the transmission into P then D and it drove fine the rest of the way home, about 2.5 miles. This is the first time I've ever encountered this.
While driving on the highway @ 65-8ph and if I drive over a rough patch on the road, the steering wheel vibrates for about 20 seconds after clearing the rough patch.
On the evening of Sept. 13th I was driving in-town appx. 25mph, pulling into a Walmart shopping center, when my 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe (Purchased in July of 2023) unexpectedly, with NO WARNING shut down! It reduced speed immediately and went into a "coasting mode" almost causing the car behind me to rear-end me. I immediately put on my hazard lights and was attempting to turn the corner to pull it into the parking lot when my steering column seized and the vehicle shut off completely. There were warning lights on the instrument panel, however, I was unable to focus on what they were as I was in sheer panic mode trying not hit or be hit by the sudden shut down of my vehicle. The only warning I can recall was to put the car in park, which I was unable to do because I was in the middle of the road, with no area to pull over too. I have owned my vehicle for just over two months and at the time of the incident this evening the vehicle has 2, 727 miles, 1/2 tank of gas, the battery voltage was normal and it had a small amount of charge. I have read numerous articles stating, including one from NHTSA, that the recall does not affect my jeep as it was manufactured in Oct. 2022. This is incorrect information and if anyone had bothered to do any investigations would find that there are hundreds of complaints on Jeep forums for Jeep Wrangler 4xe's manufactured AFTER the 8/17/22 having this problem. The bigger issue is that there is NO RECALL for the issue because it is past the "end" date for the recall. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS!! I drive on the highway EVERY DAY to go to work and I can't imagine what would have happened if I had been in the left hand, passing lane when this occurred. SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED! I am bringing my vehicle to Lee Auto Mall Dealership/Service Center in Westbrook, ME first thing tomorrow morning to have the issue looked into / corrected and to inquire if this particular recall had been completed for this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that after activating the front windshield wipers, the instrument cluster light brightness was reduced, making it very difficult for the driver to read the speedometer, and additional information on the instrument panel. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V263000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
I understand this is an ongoing recall, but will the NHTSA get involved to help push for a resolution? I have not had a vehicle since March and according to Jeep, the "fix" is still in an engineering and design phase which could take months/years. There was a class action lawsuit and Jeep asked to have the lawsuit dropped if they did a voluntary recall. Well, now it feels like since they are not under a lawsuit, they can take their time with the recall. Who can help push Jeep into getting this thing done? Thank you.
The jeep will suddenly lose power while driving at highway speed and will lose all speed without any check engine lights or system notifications noted . The vehicle will not maintain speed and will suddenly accelerate after a minute of losing powe . This happens multiple times .The vehicle has been at the dealership and they are unsure of what the problem is .
Yesterday 8/27/23 at 5pm I pulled into a parking lot and then into a parking space. As I came to a stop my Jeep lunged forward into the vehicle that was parked in front of me. At the time my Jeep Wrangler 4XE was operating in Hibrid mode running on electric with 49% charge left. As my Jeep came to a stop the gasoline engine started and the Jeep lunged forward striking the vehicle in front of me pushing it approximately 3 feet back before coming to a stop. This action caused significant damage to the other vehicle and minor damage to my jeep. I believe it was the abrupt start of the gasoline engine that caused the jeep to lunge forward even though my foot was on the brake. This action put me and others at risk, it was fortunate that the othe vehicle was unoccupied. I have contacted Jeep thru online email concerning this accident but at this time have not received a response. The police department was contacted and an officer responded to the scene. The officer observed the damage to both vehicles and did file an accident report. There were no warning lamps, warnings, or other symptoms of a problem prior to this incident.
I was driving down a side street when I received several warning lights for service shifter, airbags, seatbelts as well as the engine and all gauges cutting in and out. Following that my power steering went out and I could barely steer the vehicle. I had to call roadside assistance to tow the vehicle. The following fault codes wers pulled via obdii: U0001, U0151, U0155, U017E, U0418, U1442. Each code related to a malfunction with "CAN BUS C" or what the dealership referred to as a "star connector". After further research it is apparent that this part has continued to fail on many jeep wranglers dating back to 2018 and every report I have seen the person has stated the same issue of losing power steering. My jeep is a 2023 and now needs this part replaced. Why hasn't there been a recall on these vehicles for this faulty part? Why does chrysler continue to use these faulty parts on current vehicles when they know of their failure rate? This is a serious safety issue and should have been addressed years ago. Something must be done before someone gets hurt or killed.
The contact's daughter owned a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Hybrid. The contact stated while his daughter was driving 30 MPH, the vehicle ahead of hers stopped unexpectedly. The contact stated that the daughter slammed on the brakes and swerved to the right; however, the driver's side front end of the vehicle hit the passenger's side rear end of the other vehicle and damaged its taillight. The air bags did not deploy. The contact stated that it was a fender-bender. The contact's daughter then noticed smoke coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. The contact's daughter immediately exited the vehicle and contacted emergency services. The vehicle caught on fire and burned significantly. The fire was extinguished by the fire department. The contact was unsure whether a fire department report was filed. A police report was filed. The contact's daughter did not sustain any injury. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot, where it was totaled. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,077.
After hitting a bump driving normal highway speeds 45+ mph the car begins to shake and vibrate vigorously. It feels like you will lose control of the vehicle and the only way to stop these vibrations is to slow down to 30-40mph. Stopping like this on the freeway seems extremly unsafe when traffic is flowing. The dealership referred to this issue as the "Jeep Death Wobble" and it is apparently a known issue. The vehicle has been into the shop already twice and they have failed to correct the issue. The first time they replaced the stabilizer and the second time they were unable to replicate the issue to the traffic in the area and being not able to drive at highway speeds. Stellantis/FCA have requested I continue to to Drive this vehicle even with these issues saying this is not a safety issue.
4XE electric mode, while driving on the freeway, the vehicle said Electric Mode Temporarily Not available. The car loss power as I was going 70 MPH and it loss power and slowed to 8mph. The diesel traveling behind us slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting us and he tailspinned and caused a huge accident, all cars behind him had to come to a halt. I had my 2 year old granddaughter in her carseat in the back and my 70 year old mother in the front, we could have been killed. I have over 30 videos of this occurring and the vehicle only has less than 300 miles on it. The two local dealerships said they could not "duplicate" the problem and one told me not to drive in electric mode so, well would would be the purpose of me purchasing a hybrid if I can't use that function. The other dealership told me if I find out the problem to let him know for his future customers. There were no warning lights besides the Electric Mode not available flashing on the dash. Chrysler Auto Finance, the dealership where I purchased from, everyone giving me the run around and no one will help me.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle rooftop was made of fiber glass that dropped on the vehicle occupants while driving. The contact stated that the fiber glass could cause health issues if inhaled. The contact stated that the dealer had replaced the rooftop once, and the freedom panels twice; however, the failure persisted as the replacement parts were made of the same materials. The contact stated that the dealer informed him that the top was made from trust and bonded fiber glass. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 40-60 MPH, the steering wheel was shuddering back and forth, causing the vehicle to vibrate and to sway. The contact also stated that while driving at highway speeds, the vehicle pulled to the left side. The contact turned the steering to the right in order to keep the vehicle in the lane. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the steering wheel was realigned twice; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 400.
Intermitent severe shaking in steering wheel "Death Wobble". This happen around 10 times now and still dealer dont know how to fix it. During the event it cause you to panic and potential accident.
I was driving on Highway when the dashboard prompted me to park and slow down. I lost power on the engine and have to pull over to the side to restart the engine. I have enough fuel but not EV battery left.
My vehicle suddenly shut down while at freeway speeds on a 5 lane freeway. I could not get the vehicle restarted. There were no warnings to indicate of a potential problem. I experienced an extremely unsafe situation.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while entering the vehicle, the contact smelled an abnormal odor inside the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was also taken to another dealer, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 2.
I'll start by stating that I currently have two Jeep Wrangler JL models that are identical, a 2020 and the one that I'm contacting you about the 2023. There is a safety issue with the 2023 where the vehicle programming causes the engine to rev itself to around 2,800 RPM's upon a cold start. This is after the engine has warmed up to operating temperature at idle. So the safety complaint is that as I begin to drive the vehicle in a parking lot with pedestrians in it, the vehicle will auto rev while in gear causing excessive and unsafe speeds in that situation. My identical 2020 Jeep Wrangler does not and never has done this. I strongly suspect that this is an emissions compliance programming issue with the software to heat up the catalytic convertor. Whatever their reasoning for doing this it's still an unsafe vehicle feature, one that multiple other owners have stated that they are having the same issue. I have reached out to FCA to no avail, case# 86685993. I do look forward to hearing from you and hope that with your assistance we can get this safety issue figured out. Thank you!
While driving on a major interstate, on a clear day, with no outstanding or extreme influences and traveling with traffic at a standard rate of speed (70 mph), a small roughly dime sized rock hit my windshield. This resulted in an immediate, large radial crack and approximately 9 inch lateral crack across my windshield. The rock was traveling slow enough that I could see it coming. Further research shows that this is a known issue to the manufacturer and owners, which is why the manufacturer offers an upgraded glass option for durability. This makes sense for off-roading or in a way inconsistent with manufacturers recommendation, but it is a safety issue if the glass cannot maintain during normal operation. I have concerns with every rock until it is replaced. It has been inspected by manufacturer/dealer, and I am paying to have it upgraded and replaced. However, I have concerns that it may result in injuries in event of a crash, or just in the course of normal operation. In a long history of driving, I’ve never experienced such extreme damage from a minor item, which calls into question what the risk would’ve been with a more severe incident.
Brand new 2023 wrangler with 600 miles on it that I’ve had for 4 days and the engine completely cut off on the busy highway with my whole family in the car. Message appeared on the screen stating “performance limited, service charging system”. We were eventually able to get the engine on again by turning the car off and on which was incredibly dangerous in the middle of a very busy highway. We are very very lucky that this did not all result in a serious accident
Car just died while driving about 30mph in all electric mode. Charge fault error came on. Loss of steering and brakes. Able to coast to stop. Placed car in e save mode to start engine, was able to get home.

I was driving down the highway around 60 miles an hour and the engine shut off. There was a flashing light on the dash telling me to safely put the car in Park. I had no acceleration and had to get across three lanes coasting until I could safely stop. A light also flashed showing a picture of the plug-in and said something about lack of performance. I cannot remember the exact wording. Once I got to the side of the road, I put the car in park and turned the car off, then turned it back on and was able to drive away. I did notice when I got to the side of the road that the D was flashing on my gearshift. i’ve called the dealership and I’ll be taking it in tomorrow, but they advised they haven’t had this situation before. But someone advise me about a recall on 2021 through 2023 4 xe’s but my vin number isn’t part of the recall. This happened during rush-hour traffic and I had my five year old son in the car. Needless to say we were both very scared. I am nervous to even drive it now.
RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE CLUTCH WAS ISSUED ON 3/6/23, AS OF TODAY 7/5/23 IT HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED LEAVING ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER OF A VEHICLE FIRE
I was driving on the highway and as the electric engine ran out of power (it is a plug-in hybrid), the car failed to switch to the gasoline engine. There were warning lights that flashed and the "D" on the gear shifter was flashing. Power steering still worked, but could not accelerate. I was in the far right lane and was able to coast into the breakdown lane where I turned the car off, waited a few second and turned it back on and it was running on the gas engine. I took it to the dealer the next day and they said they tried to recreate it, but the electric engine had not been drained, so I don't believe they had.
We noticed on 6/24/2023 a small crack and few other minor cracks and a paint chip appeared out of nowhere on the fiber-glass/composite hard roof top at the driver side rear edge above the gas tank of my Jeep Wrangler 2023 that I bought from your dealership. My vehicle details are as follows: Make: Jeep Model Wrangler Sahara 4X4e Year: 2023 Color: White VIN #: [XXX] Purchase Date: 05-14-2023 Condition: Brand New I have consulted with AAA insurance and the “Classic Collision of Chatsworth” and Platinum Plus Warranty Plan and the insurance services and they all say that this particular crack and paint chip on the vehicle is not from any impact but mainly due to the manufacturing defect where the fiberglass is uneven (or air bubble in it) and defective, screws tightened too much and also clearly has tool marks and signs of excessive use of force that caused a big crack on the edge from inside and that is now propagating and spreading and showing paint chip and cracks on the outside of the removable rooftop/camper above the gas tank. This is the first time I opened the back trunk and saw this. Filed a manufacturer warranty claim at the dealership on 6/26/2023. Jeep denied the claim. I find this situation unacceptable as the fiberglass hard-top is cracking and falling apart and the crack is widening as we drive the vehicle. I need help as both the dealership and the manufacturer are not fixing the manufacturing defect and are using delaying tactics.

Clutch getting hot driving. Smells really bad. Clutch pedal does not engage clutch Transmission is noisy! Jeep wants to put the same part back in it that’s under the recall How can they install a part that is known to fail and cause major damage to other drivers and can cause fire! Please advise how to handle
On June 17 I was driving on the highway in Tupelo,MS with my sister and three children. I was going about 80 mph when the entire engine shut down spontaneously. The dash lights said plug into a power outlet. I was driving in hybrid mode with a half tank of gas. I briefly lost control of the car because it was such a powerful jolt when it shut down. I was able to pull over to shoulder of the highway, completely terrified and shifted the jeep into park. The warning lights were telling me to put in park and press the start button. I followed the instructions and the jeep engine started and the warning lights turned off. I have contacted Chrysler to file a complaint as well as the dealership. I am afraid the drive my vehicle on the highway for fear of having a major accident
The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel locked, causing him to momentarily lose control of the vehicle. Upon attempting to bring the vehicle to a stop, the contact stated that the brake pedal was stuck in its resting position, prompting him to pull the parking brake, which also failed to bring the vehicle to a stop. As a result, the contact stated that he collided with the vehicle ahead. An unknown warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel prior to the failure being experienced. The air bags did deploy. A police report was filed, and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and later towed to the dealer, who declined to diagnose the vehicle due to the body damage. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 10,000.
The power steering pump squeaks and squeals at low speeds when turning the vehicle. Potential for power steering failure resulting in loss of control. Dealer stated the squeaking noise is normal. Dealer refused to do a proper inspection only an audio inspection. No warning lights.
Clutch is getting hot Warning screens says to stop using clutch. It’s a manual transmission can’t really do that and drive it. My jeep should have never been made. Special ordered in September 2022 cause I was told they had recall problem fixed in 23 models. I recieved jeep February 10 2023, March 2 the added 2023 models made up to February 2023 to recall and halted all manual transmission to be made. I feel like jeep lied to me and should have never taken my order even ! I traded a 2022 jeep wrangler that nothing was wrong with cause we wanted manual transmission and then find out the clutch’s are under recall. Dealer won’t do anything and jeep is not helping
I am not sure if this is something that should be reported or not. My Jeep caught on fire in a drive thru on 5/11/23. It was only 3.5 months old and had 3,465 miles on it. I saw smoke coming from under the hood, then big black billowing smoke, when some guys got the hood open there were flames coming from behind the engine. They were able to put it out with a fire extinguisher but it caused alot of damage. It is available for inspection but I would need to know ASAP since it is at the dealer. About 3 minutes prior I was on the highway and this could have ended up so much worse as I had my two dogs with me as well. I contacted Jeep and they sent Engineering Analysis Associates/Bosch Automotive Service Solutions out to examine the car and they said "the information at hand would not permit us to associate the fire with a manufacturing or assembly error". No reason for the fire was given. Vehicle was inspected by insurance rep, investigator hired by the manufacturer. Police and fire dept were on scene at the time but did not create a report, just gave me an incident #. No warnings, messages or anything warned of the fire. I was able to drive it around to the front of the building to get it away from the building and other cars while their was smoke coming out of it. No warnings lights came on at all that I could see on the dash. I want to report this incase any other Wrangler 4XE's end up having the same issue.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler.

The fuel cap was replaced, and the failure was fixed. The failure mileage was 5,000.
Driving 65 mph on interstate when service charging system message was displayed and Jeep lost power. This message displayed as the hybrid battery dropped to 0 miles. The accelerator pedal was unresponsive and I was able to coast to the shoulder. Restarted Jeep and it ran on gasoline motor.
Was driving down the highway, warning lights on the dashboard illuminated. Lost power, engine and electrical power. Message to place Jeep in park came on. Pulled car to shoulder. It would not start for two hours. Tow truck arrived. Jeep would start. Taken to Jeep dealership and nothing was found wrong with it. Same thing happened one week later. I checked ant there is no recall for my specific car
I received a recall notice on my Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe that the vehicle could suddenly shut down while in motion and needed a repair to prevent this from happening. I took it into the dealer to get the repair. At this point the vehicle had about 1200 miles on it. About a week AFTER getting the recall repair, the vehicle shut down without warning while I was driving it in all electric mode. I had to pull off the road, coast to a stop, and restart. I took it back to the dealer and they said that they had never heard of this happening AFTER getting the recall fixed. They said they didn’t know what to do to address it and would be reporting it to Jeep/Stellantis HQ in Detroit. The dealer is Jeff D’Ambrosio in Downingtown, PA. They said they would be back in touch once they heard from Detroit. This is extremely concerning and should be investigated.
This vehicle was sold unlawfully to me, with an open recall on it. I purchased the brand-new vehicle from Sterling Heights Dodge, Chrysler Jeep New car dealership on 3/23/23. I got at open of business 9am left shortly after 11am with the new car.3/24 The vehicle engine lights came on, RPM's were revved high, engine was making loud noises. I called the dealership to make an appointment with service, I was told I can't bring my car there for service it had to go to Toledo Service Dept Grogan the closest to me. I was told to drive it as is it would be fine. On 3/26 my vehiicle abruptly stopped in heavy traffic with my 5 year old grandson in the backseat. Nothing worked, all power was dead. I have videos of this. I had to get out and motion for traffic to go around us, several time we were almost hit. The car was towed to Grogan they got it in for service 3/28. It was discovered by the service manager on 3/23 when I purchased my new car that New car had an open recall on it launched 3/14/23, and the dealership entered 3/23/23 as the repair date to bypass the system because you can't sell a brand new car with an open recall. The car is dangerous, it has been sitting in service since 3/28 until present date totally disabled without ability to be fixed by Grogan experts. The car was unlawfully sold, it was not disclosed there was a open recall or I would have opted to buy a different car. The car is a lemon they will not take the car back although it was sold unlawfully New Cars are forbidden to be sold with open recalls, and open recalls are to be disclosed prior to selling consumers cars. It is going to cause a very serious accident with injuries and potentially even fatality.

Our 2023 Jeep Wrangler has the "death wobble" which causes the front end of the vehicle to violently shake and the steeering wheel to almost cause loss of control. Jeep knows about this defect, as does the NHTSA. Jeep need to be mandated to do a recall and fix the issue.
Two days into driving my brand-new Jeep I experienced the death wobble and lost control of my steering wheel on the freeway. I took it to the dealer they replaced the damper. But it happened again where I didn't have control but it didn't shake I just had to get off the freeway once I it stopped hydroplaning without it raining. The steering wheel is not straight and on different types of roads the car drifts and wanders. I am terrified of driving it on the freeway.
While on the highway, vehicle engine simply went off without warning. Loss of power and ability to accelerate. Vehicle message indicated to turn off vehicle. Was able to safely pull the vehicle over and turn it off and back on. Brought vehicle to dealer to get checked out and they could "find no issues with the vehicle." Concerned with driving vehicle now as this could happen again.
Was driving my one week old 2023 wrangler Sahara XE. Came to a stop. I started to drive and my engine completely shut down. Rendering me stuck in the middle of a roadway in traffic. The message on the dash read that there was a shut down on my vehicle and stated something about the transmission . There was no warning, the engine just shut down and put itself in park! I have three children.. this is scary . I contacted the dealer and dropped the vehicle off for the day Where it was inspected but no code was found as a fault. I see thousands of other jeeps (XE’s) have the same engine shut down issue. I presented these facts to the dealer. They dated that they can’t do anything without a code!Please help fix this. Too many are experiencing this very real and dangerous issue!
The front defrost fails to blow any air on the windshield directly in front of the drivers seat, causing visibility issues in winter weather or whenever the windshield fogs up. The vehicle was brought to the dealer and the dealer indicated that the defrost is working as normal and that they just don’t blow air anywhere but in the center. Even when explaining that a windshield that ices up is a safety issue when driving, they indicated there is nothing that can be done.
Vehicle shut off at highway speed. Msg was charge fault.
The contact was an attorney who was filing a complaint on behalf of his client, who owned a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while his client was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The failure caused his client's vehicle to be rear-ended by another vehicle. No air bags were deployed upon impact. The contact's client was transported to the hospital for a brain bleed and neck and back injuries. The client suffered a recurring concussion. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. Prior to the failure, the vehicle was towed to the dealer on three separate occasions because the vehicle failed to start. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V86500 (Engine) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.
I was driving 65 on the freeway when the steering suddenly goes out &stiffens so hard I could not turn the car. It was very heavy. Fortunately all the cars were going in the same direction &I managed to merge over but was at that point going about 40 on the freeway, which is dangerous in itself There was a major warning light that went on, but of course, bc I was struggling w/the car, I couldn’t read what it said, & then after I pulled over, I noticed another smaller warning light of the stop/start system, but from what I understand there could be any number of issues under that warning light the dealer has had my car for over a week they can’t find anything specific on the car. I have been looking at the Wrangler forums and heard similar complaints and similar incidences for over 6 yrs of dealers “fixing” this and that when in reality, it could be the 2 batteries in the car which are considered by many Jeep owners substandard coming from the factory, and it has been suggested I have them replace with Mopar batteries, (not the same factory batteries ) but apparently the factory will not reimburse the dealers for the batteries so they avoid placing batteries at 700.- a pop when that could be the issue 75% of the time (that comes from experienced jeep owners on this forum) if I had been in cross traffic, or if I had to avoid an oncoming collision or a side collision I would not have been able to maneuver the car and it could’ve been a disaster I doubt their ability to pinpoint the exact cause of this as they said they’ve never seen this kind of an incident before They were able to replicate the loss of steering, but they don’t know how they did it if They could replace this and that, but there’s no telling unless the incident happens again if it was really fixed, and I find this is too dangerous a chance to take as I could’ve been killed. No inspections of the component has been checked by anybody cause they don’t know what component is malfunctioning
Vehicle completely shut off on highway 70mph. Service charging system, D selector was flashing Pulled to a stop and had to restart ignition.

No incident yet, but too much play in the steering. Constantly correcting from left to right to stay middle of the road.
Purchased the 2023 Jeep Wrangler on Jan 20th. The next day the vehicle could not start. Displaying a charging system error. Had to be towed to dealer for repairs with on 285 miles on the odometer. Upon review it appears the Jeep 4XE are die just driving down the road. Frightening dangerous
Jeep Wrangler 4xE car engine died for reason unknown while traveling at a steady speed of ~40mph. Dashboard and car lights remained powered on, but the engine suddenly became unresponsive and the car began to coast. An error message appeared on the dashboard display but disappeared before it could be written down. About 5 seconds prior to the engine dying the cruise control, which had been engaged a few minutes earlier, but which was not believed to be active at the time, was toggled. It was a very dangerous situation, but no injuries resulted from this event. Car dealer could not replicate the problem. No error messages found stored on the car computer were found by the dealer. The problem has not occurred again, but the car has not been driven much since the event. Cause of the problem remains unknown.
Automatic Transmission and/or Transfer-case fluid loss and leakage from factory. Dealers unable to diagnose and fix. Can cause transmission components to be improperly lubricated, causing excessive heat, wear and in rare cases, fire.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle was swaying from side to side. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the steering was operating as designed. The dealer also informed the contact that the electronic control module that communicated with the steering box and the steering wheel could override intended steering. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 13,000.
I was driving approximately 30-35 mph when my vehicle engine no longer would accelerate. On the dashboard, the "D" to signify I was in drive was flashing in red, as opposed to being lit in white as usual. There was another warning light flashing in red, which was a lightning bolt with the characters ) ( around it. My car was dinging an alert sound. I was able to turn my flashers on and coast over to the side of the road. There was a significant safety concern considering I was in a city with cars driving around me, and had they not slowed, may have struck my vehicle because it decelerated so quickly. I attempted to push on the gas to accelerate, and nothing happened. After pulling over, I turned the vehicle off and back on again, and the problem was no longer there. Following this, my engine over-revs when I accelerate (3,500 + rpm to increase my speed by 10-15 mph with normal to light touch on the gas). I have noticed a jerkiness to acceleration and shifting of gears since this occurred also. Another issue is I will turn my car on and the engine will rev up to 2,000 + rpms without me touching the gas to accelerate. It will idle around 2,000 rpms until I drive or turn it off. I purchased this Jeep brand new. I see on Consumer Report there will be recalls in January 2023 on Jeep Wranglers 4xe manufactured a few months prior to the one I purchased with the same issue that I am having. I brought it in to the Jeep dealership where I purchased it. They ran diagnostics but said they were unable to find any issues. They took it for a test drive and were also unable to decipher anything wrong with it. This is a safety concern because if I am driving on the interstate or highway at appropriate speeds and my engine stops working like this again, I may be struck or cause an accident that could cause myself or others harm. The fact that 2021-2023 Jeep wrangler 4xe's manufactured prior to mine are going to be recalled in January with this same issue is concerning.
Engine turned off and vehicle came to an abrupt stop. Battery level showed less than 1% on the 4xe at the time of the stoppage. I was driving about 25 mph when it occurred. Placed the vehicle into park, pressed brakes and restarted vehicle. Went to dealership to complain and they said they could not replicate the problem.
systems that failed, my defroster only blows straight up about the width of the rear view mirror. causing my windshield to fog or ice and I not be able to see. dealer will not look at it until the 14th of dec. they are unwilling to provide a safe loaner in the meantime. no warning lamps my frame undercoating is already coming off making me very concerned about rust down the road the welds on my frame have porosity in a fair amount of welds. this worries me if I would ever be in a collision that the frame would not hold up. also, longterm I'm worried about the porous welds harboring salty water and rusting out the welds. causing the strength of the weld to be weakened. not to mention a porous weld in general is a weak weld
