My 2022 4xe has been in the shop a total of 10 months due to engine shut down, (slamming to a stop while driving along w/ auto park engaging). All of this started after having the 22V865 recall preformed in 2023. The dealership has yet to figure out the remedy, despite popping multiple codes. This is a SERIOUS SAFETY issue that could ultimate kill someone, if Stellantis continues to turn a blind eye. The dealership released my Jeep unfixed, I am now looking for another dealership who may have an idea how to correct the problems.
2022 Jeep Wrangler electrical complaints
Page 6 of 7: complaints 131 to 160 of 175, newest first, as owners wrote them.
We ordered in April 2022, a 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sahara plug-in hybrid, arriving late May 2022. In mid-June 2024, when starting the Jeep, it went into "limp" or "safe" mode. The Samsung EV battery was fully charged, indicating a 99% charge available, which translates to an approximate 24 mile range on the EV motor. The check engine light (CEL) came on as well as a "charging system failure" message came on in the center of the message center. The Jeep dealership in Temecula, CA, received the Jeep, which would only operate on the Internal Combustion Engine, and even then at 50% of available power, with the a/c system non-operable. The Internal Combustion Engine would not respond to throttle input, where it would not start (from engine off mode) more than a dozen times while en route to the Jeep dealership. It was unsafe being at the front of a long-line of cars when a light turned green and then applying the throttle, nothing happened, where we very nearly got rear-ended on multiple occasions. The DCH Temecula dealership who is servicing the Jeep advises the Samsung EV battery had an internal failure and requires replacement. The Samsung EV battery is on order or in transit/shipping, has not arrived. We have been without the Jeep approaching a month. In addition to our concern for this happening to others, we are really concerned about this being a recurring issue and problem.
My jeep lost power on the freeway while in Hybrid mode. Warning signs turned on for me to park the vehicle but I was on the freeway. The jeep would not switch to gas mode. My safety was at risk as I had to coast my jeep with no power to a safe location to park. I crossed 3 lanes of traffic. The only way to fix the problem is to put my vehicle in park and then turn off my jeep and restart it. The warning light that turned on but I can’t recall which one. It was very fast and scary. I plan to take it to the dealer ship to check for recalls.

Jeep TSB S2008000158 This service bulletin is exactly that happened to my jeep but because it is a 2022 jeep that will not honor the service bulletin. This has happened to me twice, once in my garage and another time driving and the jeep just stopped in the middle of the street. Both times have been taken into the Jeep dealership.
I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the safety recall initiated by FCA US for the Jeep Wrangler 4xe. This recall, which pertains to an internally failed HV battery, poses a significant safety risk to vehicle occupants, bystanders, and property. As stated in the summary provided by FCA US, an internally failed HV battery in the affected vehicles could lead to a vehicle fire, regardless of whether the ignition is on or off. This presents an alarming safety hazard, as a vehicle fire not only increases the risk of occupant injury but also poses a threat to individuals outside the vehicle and can result in substantial property damage. While it is commendable that FCA US has initiated a voluntary safety recall to address this issue, the proposed remedy raises several concerns. The instruction for customers to refrain from recharging these vehicles and to avoid parking them inside buildings or structures, or near other vehicles until the final repair is completed, is deeply troubling. This instruction places an undue burden on affected vehicle owners, as it significantly disrupts their daily routines and raises questions about the practicality and feasibility of implementing such precautions. Furthermore, it fails to provide a comprehensive solution to mitigate the risk of vehicle fires effectively. Moreover, the solution is completely ineffective as it puts the liability back on the customer since FCA will not deem the vehicle inoperable. This refusal to acknowledge the severity of the safety risk and to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of vehicle occupants is unacceptable. I urge thorough investigation by the federal safety agency into the root cause, that they ensure transparent communication by FCA, and accountability for FCA's inadequate response. Failure to address this promptly endangers lives and property. Please prioritize this critical issue.
With this recall and no repair, I no longer feel safe driving my Jeep and being that the recall notice states not to park near other vehicles or buildings/structures is another safety concern. It lunges upon first driving as well.
Vehicle again experienced ‘high-speed’ stalling with rapid de-acceleration + additional loss of power steering + transmission lock. Due to lack of brake lights upon rapid de-acceleration, nearly caused trailing vehicle to rear-end the subject Jeep Wrangler and swerve into oncoming traffic. Vehicle had to be towed to dealership due to unable to start and transmission lock. Video provided of event. Dealership advised could not repeat failure, manufacturer refused to open case with engineering. Software update applied.

I was driving and at a red light the car just stopped working. It was stuck in park and did not want to shift gears. I kept getting a warning message to push the brake and push start but nothing happened. I was stuck in the middle of the road and was put in a dangerous situation. I kept turning the car on and off and eventually 30 minutes later it started.

The dealership is telling me I need to take the vehicle even though they cannot fix the recall. This is a liability to society and myself. Peoples lives are at risk. There is a fire risk recall pn the HV battery
My 2022 4xe Rubicon has been at the shop for 60 days now for slamming in to a dead stop while driving over 8 -18 mph. This happened 4 times early in the morning trying to drive to work. The dealership towed it in that morning, but failed to look at it for over 2 weeks. - they thought it was just in for regular maintenance. - during this time multiple warning lights were on (CEL and ETC, etc) . To date, they can not recreate this frightening situation or pull up any codes. I could have killed somebody, had I made it to a busy road. I had the 22V‑865 recall done in Feb 2023, which CLEARLY did NOT work. Chrysler's involvement has been useless, The latest safety recall report I read (dated 7/13/23) indicates they cannot find the "root cause', they are attempting update software that will change "fail safe from shut off to limp home" but state in this report that there is still NO RESOLUTION, and is still under investigation. I purchased my 4xe August 27, 2022, FCA KNOWING they manufactured the 2.0L PHEV engine, issued a STOP -SALE NOTICE in December 2022 "in order to control and avoid the damage and emergency situations on the US roads.'" NOT A STOP DRIVE NOTICE. -Other then this Scary problem, I have FORM problems, and it throwing itself into AUTOPARK while in reverse. (going less then 3 mph) - How is this not being investigated, ... How is it that there are NO codes or replicate the problems.
Spontaneous Engine Shutdown for the 3rd time: Steering wheel locked, Transmission locked, engine turns off....all while driving.
While driving me 2022 4xe with the doors off My Jeep remained in drive but abruptly stopped it remained in drive but the D on the gear shifter started blinking. This happened multiple times and could have caused a serious accident. My Jeep was flatbed to the dealership and is still being diagnosed My Jeep is less Then a year old and already had one recall completed.
I was driving on the highway and my Jeep shook for a moment and then the D started blinking and there were 2 lights that came on. One was the battery light and the other one was the charging light. There was also an on screen message about a charging problem and to pull over safely. I was on the highway and this was very dangerous as the car was slowing down with cars behind me. I managed to pull over on the side of the highway and stopped my car safely . I turned off my car restarted it. I then got off the highway and made it home safely via the back roads. I made an appointment with the dealership but this was very unsafe and almost caused an accident. Please investigate as as I have seen many other reports of this online. Thanks.
My vehicle is year old and I began receiving a warning light regarding the electric throttle control system. The throttle has begun periodically not responding while at highway speeds. I am forced to continue driving the vehicle because dealership service departments do not have loaner vehicles available for me to leave my vehicle to be serviced.
I took my 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4XE Unlimited into the dealership for the recall to be fixed and oil/filter change with tire rotation. I drove my vehicle to the dealer and after being there for 3.5 hours I am informed my vehicle no longer starts/turns over. I have a loaner vehicle with no solution in sight. Upon reading other 4XE owners statements that had the same issue. Upon resetting the software they have multiple trips with the same issue of the engine stalling. I DO NOT want my children in a vehicle that is NOT running properly. This will put others in danger as well, if my engine fails going down the interstate, it can cause a wreck.
I was driving on the highway at a speed of 70 miles and suddenly I lost total control of my vehicle I lost my engine and without electricity nothing worked I was close to having an accident

Driving in the highway at 70 miles an hour. All of the sudden the car start slowing down until the gas pedal was doing nothing.I have to pull over to the side road and turn the car off. And again multiple times to get the gas work again.
I was driving the car normally and it completely shut down while moving. I safely pulled over and I was able to restart it. I then received a text message warning from the vehicle Uconnect system, error was "A charge fault has occurred for your Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4xe" This seems to be a very common complaint when I googled the error message.

Engine shut down condition caused by diagnostic reactions to faults caused by communication of the car. Motive power has been lost while driving. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or any authority. I have contacted manufacturer and dealership and they have not offered any options since this is a recall issue that has no solution or parts available they told me to wait it out. Therefore I am now paying for a car that is not safe to drive and these concerns have not been fixed or addressed by manufacture.
