Been waiting since early January for Freehold Jeep to repair the recall with the hybrid batter, risk of fire while ignition is on or off. They are not calling me back to get this fixed.
2021 Jeep Wrangler electrical complaints
Page 7 of 11: complaints 161 to 190 of 310, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After a period of 10 minutes in stop-and-go traffic, a shift warning light indicated on the warning panel. All the lights for the gear shift lever would light up individually. The vehicle turned off the stability control system and indicated a warning to proceed driving however the vehicle may not be able to shift into park. After about 3 miles of driving, it felt like the power steering stopped working and it was extremely difficult to control and turn the vehicle. It also felt like the vehicle would not shift properly. Once the vehicle was to the side of the road, it indicated that the vehicle was not in park despite moving the gear shift lever to park. The vehicle would not turn off of accessory mode. Had whatever happened to the power steering happened at any higher rate of speed, the vehicle would have been impossible to control in a turn or traffic. It took every bit of arm strength to coax the vehicle to the side of the road.
jeep was unable to remedy this issue for 6 months, since November 2023. I called and they gave me the run around. They wanted to charge me fees to rent a car instead of driving mine and I paid $600/month as a premium to have a EV just to have to fill it up with gas because they didn't have any remedy for 6 months.
High voltage battery safety recall is unavailable because parts are not available. I was told to call back in a few week. Recall states not to plug in or park in garage or near other vehicles. This poses a serious risk to myself and others and should be repaired immediately or the entire vehicle needs recalled and replaced. I am terrified to be near or even use my vehicle now. It is my only transportation. I am now forced to spend more financially to purchase gas and am unable to economically use the vehicle I purchased. I feel it need repaired immediately or replaced to prevent injury to myself or others.

It has been about 4 months now, and Stalantis/Jeep still is unable to fix the issue. This means that for 4 months, I'm unable to use the vehicle for its intended purpose.

I have been waiting for a recall to be fixed and Jeep has no known date of delivery for the recall part BUT Jeep has new ones on the lot for sale. My entire vehicle is acting up, one day my reverse sensors malfunction then they don't, my defrost is not working, I can't remote start at all and I live in Buffalo so I need a warm vehicle, the Jeep 4xe will jump forward when coming to a stop, the heater isn't responding when I turn up dial, the death wobble has happened. And my dealer is worthless - no communication so I have to resort to this writing. I bought the 4xe Jan 4, 2021 (brand new) because the "electric" miles get me back and forth to work just fine and less money for gas. The Jeep itself was $63K, and I bought extended warranty. Fast forward to today. I have gone over 2 months w/o electric b/c no parts avail.
the federal safety agency Safety Issue ID: 23V787000 Open safety recall with NO FIX. Dealership will not give me a rental car. My car is at risk of starting on fire per the OPEN RECALL what has NO FIX. My family goes in this car and my son is secured in a child restraint seat. If it starts on fire I will not be able to save his life. I also cannot charge it and I bought the PHEV for fuel savings This recall has been open since November 2023 and it’s now 4 months later with NO FIX. My car has 20k miles still under the full factory bumper to bumper warranty and FCA is refusing to help me with a rental car and or car payments.
I received a recall notice (B9A) for my 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe due to a risk of vehicle fire. The notice states that we should not recharge the vehicle and not park inside buildings nor near other vehicles. I spoke with FCA recall assistance today and they confirmed that there is no remedy available and, despite it being more than two months since sending the notice, no timeline for when a remedy will be rolled out. They have not offered a replacement or a refund as options.
FROM JEEP - "An internally failed HV battery could lead to a vehicle fire with the ignition on or off. A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle, as well as property damage. Customers are advised to refrain from recharging these vehicles and not to park them inside of buildings or structures, or near other vehicles until the vehicle has the final repair completed." First: I live in Philadelphia and DO NOT have the ability to park away from structures, buildings or other vehicles. The jeep 4xe is capable of lighting on fire at ANY POINT and there is nothing I can do to reduce my risk. The recall has been made public since Nov 22,2023 and there is still no lead on a fix nearly 3 months later. Second: These are plug in hybrid vehicles that are of premium cost for the plug in/electric feature. Losing the ability to charge them greatly reduces the use and value of the vehicle. This is by far the worst recall I have ever seen and am dumbfounded that I now sit here nearly 100 days after the recall with no further instruction or lead on a solution. Jeep should be forced to compensate and provide a reasonable alternative until the solution is established.

Was informed of this recall back in November of 2023. It is approximately 3 months later, and the dealership has heard nothing from Stellantis about how to repair this recall. I also have heard nothing from Stellantis. In the mean time, I cannot fully use the vehicle in the manner it was made, which is why I made the purchase.

We purchased our 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4XE/4WD Hybrid in December of 2021. Since our purchase, we've received multiple recall notices which were since resolved. The volume of these recalls has been concerning to us, especially for such an expensive vehicle for which we had an expectation of quality. However, the most recent recall for the High Voltage Battery B9A/the federal safety agency 23V‑787 is a catastrophic problem because we live in an attached townhome community. This exposes us personally to both catastrophic danger AND liability. Secondarily, we paid a hefty premium purchase price for a hybrid vehicle, a function that is lost to us now. We also incurred the considerable expense of installing a charger in our garage, for use with our Jeep Rubicon. We can no longer use this charging station.
