2017 Jeep Wrangler: won't start

Filed Oct 8, 2025 · Electrical · ME

It randomly will not start and will need a jump start to get going. My safety has been put at risk due to not being able to start the car while in unfamiliar locations. I have had fhe battery and alternator checked and both came back with no issue. No symptoms. Just the issue of not starting even after driving around all day. There’s no pattern when it comes to knowing if it will start or not.

Jeep has been randomly just shutting off- whether I have been driving for an hour, or the following day- when I go to start it, all lights show up but it will not turn on. I get out of the car with the key and find that my remote start always works. I have taken my car to the dealership, they said I need a new battery? I got the battery checked two weeks ago and all was fine. Several times that my car does not turn on the electrial light shows up on my dash. I have found many people have had this same issue- however MOPAR has not recalled it. Recall Number 18V524000, Report Data Aug 9, 2018- Electrical System- Wiring, front underhood. __The powertrain control module may be equipped with a voltage regulator chip in the circuit board that may fail, causing a stall or a no start condition. I have seen the electrical light on my dashboard, however this is always random. The dealership says to replace the battery, which when they sent over the results they didnt even show what it mesaured. This seems to an issue with fellow Jeep owners and should be recalled and added to the MOPAR website.

A few months ago, I got in my car and turned the key and the car would not start. All lights came on, but no power. Let it sit about 5 min, tried again and it magically started. It did this 3 or 4 times in a few days time over the summer (2020) and then stopped. On 9/26/20, it started doing this again. It left me and my mother stranded for 20 min at a time doing the exact thing, before finally starting. I looked up recalls and on my make and model, there is a recall about a chip in the key fob not connecting with a module in the jeep computer correctly. Called the dealership, they said since my specific VIN was not mentioned in the recall, it would be $75 for them to look at it and it would be 4 days before they would get me in. I am 6 months pregnant and high risk with gestational diabetes after losing 2 babies. I am livid that I can't get any help on a leased vehicle since the mileage is outside of my warranty. I have cried all morning terrified that me, my daughter and unborn baby will be stuck somewhere at a doctor appt in a bad area with no transportation.

My dash keeps loosing power and when it does I have no breaks or lights. Everything drops to zero and then it will just jump back up again. My absolute, brakes,battery, seatbelt sensors keep going on and off. This happens moving and in park. Occasionally it won't start either. I have had the battery, alternator and starter tested. I was told there was a recall when getting it checked and inspection but upon calling the readership I was told no.

Vehicle purchased used 09-09-18 1st stall 09-25-18 dealer serviced and only found a computer update was needed. Car picked up from dealer after 1st repair on 10-05-18. We picked up the car on 10-05-18 & drove it home and it wasn't until the next day when the 2nd stall occurred. Same exact thing but this time we were on a busy street and could have been in an accident. 2nd stall incident was on 10-06-18 early afternoon I was on was driving the vehicle and it started to make this weird nose luckily I was almost home so I came to stop to make a left turn and waited for traffic to clear as I let go of the brake and pressed the gas to acclerate the car stalled wouldnt move or go forward. I then tried to see if it would go in reverse and changed gears but it wouldn't this time there was no error of "vehicle not in park" the vehicle just wouldnt move, go forward even though it was in drive and I was stuck on a busy street waiting for traffic to clear to make a left turn. I thank god it didnt go forward just a little cause it could have been fatal. I then tried shutting off the car to see if I could be get it to move and put it back to drive and it still wouldn't accelerate. I had to shut it off a couple of times before I was able to drive. There was a recall on other 2017 vehicles for an electrical system:wiring:front underhood where the powertrain control module may be equipped with a voltage regulator chip in the circuit board that may fail, causing a stall or a no start condition. Can you please check if this is similar because we just picked up the vehicle on 10-05-18 after nothing was found wrong and only a computer update was done. We had the car for a day and it is on its way back to ontario jeep to see if they can find out whats wrong. Please advise what could be done.
