After a recent recall with a software update (68C) for EV battery protection, the normal hybrid operating characteristics have been drastically changed without notice or explanation. When stopped or at low speeds and acceleration is needed to avoid collisions, there is zero response for at least 3 seconds then the full, uncontrolled horsepower is sent to the wheels launching the vehicle in the last known direction. In addition, when using the “all electric” mode, halfway through the charge the same thing happens resulting in a loss of electric power followed by a dramatic surge of engine power. In many occasions this has caused a “close call” with another vehicle. Since the recall update I’ve learned to anticipate this malfunction and compensate for it, but anyone else (family or otherwise) will be caught off guard and potentially cause an accident.

Defect investigations
Underhood fires
On September 6, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE24024 to investigate allegations of engine compartment fires in model year 2021-2023 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles. Most reports described fires starting on the front passenger side of the engine compartment while the vehicle was turned off, with several originating specifically at the electrohydraulic power steering pump's electrical connector. Following the opening of the investigation, ODI sent an information request letter to the vehicle manufacturer to assess the cause, scope, and frequency of the alleged defect. Additionally, ODI continued to receive reports of vehicle fires with a likely origin at or near the power steering pump. Throughout this investigation, ODI continued to discuss these new reports and the information request letter response with the manufacturer. On June 4, 2026, FCA issued recall 26V363 to address power steering fires caused by high electrical resistance at the pump's connector. Recall 26V363 includes the 781,459 vehicles identified in the opening resume of this investigation and expands the population to include all 2021-2025 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles produced between June 24, 2020, and December 2, 2024.This recall directly covers the vehicles and issues examined in this investigation. Accordingly, ODI is closing this investigation and is not requiring FCA to provide any additional information about this issue at this time. The Agency will continue to monitor field performance and reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to
PE24024
Loss of Motive Power
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has identified 68 Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) reports for model years (MY) 2021 through 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles alleging a loss of motive power. Recall 22V‑865 was issued by the manufacturer to address an engine shutdown condition in certain MY 2021-2023 Wrangler 4xe vehicles. The complaints noted here contain both post recall remedy failures and failures in vehicles not included within the scope of 22V‑865. An analysis comparing complaints received before the issuance of recall 22V‑865 and complaints outside the scope of the recall has been conducted. The results show the current complaint rate is higher in the out of scope vehicles than it was for vehicles that were later covered by the recall. ODI is opening this Recall Query (RQ) to assess the severity of the alleged defect in vehicles not included in recall 22V‑865.ODI will also assess the scope and remedy effectiveness of the recall.

RQ24012
High pressure fuel pump failure
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE21-021 on October 14, 2021, to investigate incidents alleging a stall/loss of motive power as a result of high-pressure fuel pump failures in certain model year (MY) 2019-2020 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 heavy duty trucks equipped with 6.7L Cummins turbodiesel engines. During the investigation, ODI sought to determine if the related defect allegation was limited in scope to the recalled population. After review of information request response materials from both FCA and BMW, the federal safety agency determined that sufficient information to identify a comprehensive recall population could not be produced by FCA and BMW.During the investigation FCA filed recalls 22V406, 22E048, 22V767, and 22E087 which include vehicles not identified in the initial subject population by ODI. ODI also received recall 21V586, involving loss of motive power due to failed CP4 fuel pumps on certain BMW manufactured vehicles. An information request letter response received from BMW indicated that failed pumps on their vehicles were caused by an interaction between pump internal components and US market diesel fuel, leading to increased slip and eventual particle-generating wear surface. Additional work will be done to identify whether a similar root cause is associated with the FCA recalled population and if similar wear dynamics occur on pumps supplied to vehicle manufacturers other than those included in the recalled population.ODI has upgraded this investigation to an EA in order to 1) determine engineering specifications of internal pump components that are correlated with pump failure leading to loss of motive power or other safety related hazards, 2) identify vehicle populations equipped with alleged defective pump variants, 3) assess if vehicles equipped with alleged defective pump variants result in an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety and 4) gather and review any other relevant information related to high pressure fuel pump failure associated with the subject populations of recalls 21V586, 21V880, 21E094, 22V406, 22E048, 22V767, and 22E087.Review of the above information will allow the federal safety agency to confirm root cause and recall remedy viability, and identify and evaluate vehicle populations equipped with pump components that may pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.The ODI reports cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov/owners/Searchreference using the following complaint identification numbers: 11257550, 11351441, 11361603, 11361616, 11365300, 11365426, 11365858, 11366401, 11372337, 11373793, 11374797, 11376793, 11377871, 11378173, 11384377, 11386063, 11387018, 11399710, 11402550, 11415339, 11418868, 11418870, 11427075, 11434276, 11436807, 11437226, 11437249, 11437273, 11437292, 11437294, 11437394, 11437399, 11437403, 11437405, 11437423, 11437528, 11437565, 11437579, 11437580, 11437590, 11437679, 11437744, 11437781, 11437842, 11437993, 11438006, 11438008, 11438121, 11438138, 11438155, 11438392, 11438629, 11439359, 11439879, 11440397, 11443030, 11446542, 11448163, 11453556, 11458918, 11460558, 11469337

What 2022 Jeep Wrangler owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving above 50 mph, if you hit a bump the steering wheel shakes violently and it's hard to control the Jeep.
My vehicle experiences violent front end steering and suspension oscillation ('death wobble') at highway speeds approaching 70 mph, I hit any road bump and it is triggered (bridge seams, potholes, uneven graded patches). It forces me to immediately let off of the accelerator, grip the wheel and slow way down so that it can stabilize again. Creating a potentially life threatening traffic hazard. I bought the jeep brand new with 10 miles on it from the Jeep dealership, I have maintained it solely through the dealership, and have not added any aftermarket upgrades. My first experience was around 23,000 miles. I brought it to the same authorized dealership where they replaced the stabilizer and sold me 4 new tires. 10,000 miles later the exact problem is back.
The transmission on this 2022 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2-door (3.6L) has twice failed to shift / provide motive power, requiring a tow each time. First incident: XXX, about 20,812 miles. A transmission warning appeared and the vehicle would not shift out of Park. It was towed to Stevens Creek Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, [XXX], Repair Order XXX. The dealer found DTC U11C2, replaced a new OEM Mopar valve body and a new Transmission Control Module, programmed them and road-tested the vehicle. It was picked up XXX. Second incident: XXX, about 21,209 miles. The transmission again would not go into gear and the vehicle could not move. It was towed XXX to the same dealer, Repair Order XXX, opened XXX and still open. The dealer says Jeep wants another valve-body replacement before condemning the transmission. Safety concern: loss of motive power / inability to shift, twice, without warning, can leave the vehicle unable to move and creates crash and stranding risk. No crash, fire, injury or fatality is reported for these incidents. The owner considers this a serious safety concern impairing use, value and safety. Prior damage: only a comprehensive insurance claim for rodent damage, not an accident. Vehicle background: purchased new in [XXX], delivered XXX (negotiated XXXX) from Sam Leman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of [XXX], listed sale price $43,875, no discount, under a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and registered in [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 24V652000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 40,400.
Leaking transmission fluid
My 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara has experienced a recurring steering-wobble condition when traveling at highway speeds and hitting bumps or irregularities in the road. The steering wheel and vehicle shake violently, creating a safety concern because it can be difficult to maintain control of the vehicle during the event. In December 2023, an authorized Jeep dealership documented highway-speed shaking after hitting bumps, verified the concern, found the steering damper weak, and replaced it. In December 2024, the same dealership again verified highway-speed shaking over bumps and replaced the steering damper a second time. In August 2026, the problem returned, with approximately three wobble episodes occurring within a couple of weeks. I brought the vehicle to the dealership specifically for this steering concern. The repair order states: “CUSTOMER STATES STEERING WOBBLING MAYBE THE DEATH WOBBLE.” The dealership again identified the steering damper as needing replacement, and the damper was replaced. The recurring nature of this problem despite repeated steering-damper replacements concerns me because a sudden, violent steering wobble at highway speed may compromise the driver's ability to control the vehicle and create a risk of a crash. I have a video documenting the steering-wheel wobble and repair records from the dealership. The issue has been documented by the authorized dealer on multiple visits. I am reporting this condition because it has recurred after repairs and raises an ongoing safety concern.
My jeep started wobbling on the highway.
My Jeep Wrangler recently developed a noticeable steering shimmy/shaking at highway speeds. I hit a bump in the road and almost caused a loss of control. Three Rivers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (Pittsburgh, PA) documented the concern as “steering shimmy highway speeds” and diagnosed the steering damper as the problem and repaired the problem.
Today is 10/19/2026. I have a 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4Xe Rubicon that has completed all of its safety recalls and recall notices. Each recall notice has been completed and each was marked as having no issues found. After completion of recall notice 68C (the federal safety agency 25V‑741), we began to experience a complete change in how the car operates based on the vehicle mode selected on the 3 button panel (Hybrid, Electric, E-Save). We are now experiencing a consistent inappropriate kicking in of the gasoline engine when selecting and driving in the "Electric" only mode. Our normal driving of this car has occurred on the same roadways since we purchased the car from dealer stock. Prior to the Safety recall notice referred to as "68C/the federal safety agency 25V‑741), we could select the "Electric" mode button on the 3 button panel selection and our 4Xe would run exclusively in the electric mode until it approached or reached the 1% mark. Now, the vehicle will kick in the gasoline engine even when the electric charge is above 50% ( I have actually had it kick in at the 75% mark). In addition, when this happens, the engine will rev to the 3000-4000rpm range unlike when the selection mode is chosen for "Hybrid". Today, while driving in the "Electric" mode and with the battery in excess of 50%, the gasoline engine kicked in about 10x. I finally had to press the "E-save" button to prevent the excessive engine kicking in and revving. Please initiate an investigation on what Chrysler did to change the software that now is rendering my vehicle useless in some respects and in most respects defeats the exact purpose of wishing to run in electric mode if I KNOW my trips will be under 20 miles. The excessive wear, tear, and strain on the engine due to the high revving can NOT in any fathomable way be deemed normal behavior! A review of some Jeep forums and Youtube channels can confirm that other owners are experiencing the same exact issues.
