2023 Jeep Wrangler electrical problems

Filed Nov 3, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · CA

The Jeep was purchase used from a Jeep dealer in April 2026. At 42,821 miles it was still under the manufactures warranty. We have had multiple occurrences where the check engine light comes on, followed by other warning lights, and moments later the Jeep will stall in traffic. When it stalls, it is unable to be restarted or shifted to neutral to be pushed out of traffic. This has cause multiple seriously dangerous situations and collision close calls. Sometimes a jumpstart will allow the vehicle to be restarted. other times it must be towed. Note: The battery and electrical systems checks indicate no failures even though the battery/low voltage warning lights come on during the incidents. I have taken the vehicle to four different repair facilities including authorized Jeep dealer service centers. The first three times parts were replaced. The fourth time it was towed to Santa Monica Jeep. They verified the same error codes as reported previously then cleared the error codes. One they cleared the error codes, they were unable to get the check engine light to come back on during their short test drives. And none of the components were testing as bad. So I requested a Stellantis field technician inspect the vehicle. They were also unable to diagnose the problem even though it keeps recurring. Because they were unable to diagnose the problem, they refused to take any further action, even though the service manager told me that the vehicle is unsafe to drive. I informed my insurance company of the situation and they told me that they may not cover any claims unless the dealer provides a "Certified Mechanics Statement" or "proof of repairs showing that the vehicle is in good physical condition and safe to operate." The dealer refuses to provide this. So now I have a Jeep that is unsafe to drive, may no longer e covered by my insurance, and neither a Jeep dealer nor Stellantis themselves are willing to resolve a dangerous stalling problem.

I am reporting repeated safety-related failures involving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sahara 4x4, VIN 1C4JJXP62PW524360. The vehicle has experienced recurring failures involving the high-voltage battery, hybrid charging/propulsion system, electric coolant heater, and battery thermal-management system. On 7/17/2025, at about 60,291 miles, the vehicle displayed a check-engine light and “Service Charging System” warning. While stopping, the vehicle shut off and would not restart without assistance. A/C stopped working and EV operation was unavailable. The dealer performed FCA 95B high-voltage-battery recall/software work. The problem returned. From 8/8/2025 to 9/12/2025, at 61,447 miles, the dealer diagnosed DTC P0B24, “Hybrid/EV Battery ‘A’ Voltage Unstable,” and documented an internal high-voltage-battery failure causing intermittent no-start conditions. The complete HV battery was replaced. The vehicle was out of service about 35 days. On 10/8/2025, electric mode again became unavailable/intermittent. The dealer diagnosed P0E15-00 and replaced the electric coolant heater. From 10/13/2025 to 10/17/2025, the check-engine light returned after charging; the dealer repaired a coolant-bypass/air-lock condition in the hybrid cooling system. From 6/30/2026 to 8/7/2026, at 80,222 miles, the vehicle returned for “Service Hybrid System” and EV-charging concerns. FCA 68C PHEV HV Battery Fires recall work was performed, and the electric coolant heater was again diagnosed as failed and replaced. The vehicle was out of service about 38 days. On 9/9/2026, Driver’s Village advised that the high-voltage battery requires complete replacement again. This would be the vehicle’s second complete HV-battery replacement. These major hybrid-related repair episodes total at least about 77 documented days out of service. My primary safety concerns are shutdown/no-start, repeated charging/hybrid-system warnings, failure of the original HV battery, continued failures after recall remedies,

On September 24, 2026, Recall 68C was completed on my Jeep Wrangler 4xe by an authorized Jeep dealership. Following completion of the recall, the first attempt to charge the vehicle resulted in an electrical fire at the charging location. During the charging event, the charger and electrical outlet melted, and the wiring connected to the outlet began to burn. The fire appears to have originated at the charging equipment and outlet. No visible damage occurred to the vehicle itself; however, the charger, outlet, and wiring sustained significant damage. Post-Recall Vehicle Performance Concerns: Since completion of Recall 68C, the vehicle has not operated correctly in Electric Mode. The following conditions were not present prior to the recall service: The internal combustion engine (ICE) repeatedly cycles on and off while the vehicle is displaying "Electric" mode on the instrument panel. Acceleration and overall vehicle performance are significantly reduced. The vehicle experiences severe throttle lag and delayed accelerator response. In some instances, there is little or no throttle response, followed by sudden engine engagement at engine speeds exceeding 3,000 RPM. Vehicle operation in Electric Mode is inconsistent and unpredictable. These performance issues began immediately following completion of Recall 68C and have persisted since the recall service was performed. Additional Information: I have become aware of reports from other Jeep 4xe owners who have described similar drivability and Electric Mode concerns after completion of Recall 68C. Given the charging-related fire event and the significant changes in vehicle operation that appeared immediately after the recall was performed, I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate whether these conditions may be related to the Recall 68C remedy or associated software and system changes. Safety Concerns: Fire hazard during charging. Loss of expected vehicle performance. Delayed or unpredictable throttle response.

While driving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe at approximately 70 mph in Hybrid mode the vehicle suddenly and without warning experienced a complete loss of propulsion while I was traveling in traffic. The vehicle would no longer respond normally to the accelerator and I was unable to maintain speed. The Drive (D) indicator began flashing and multiple warning lights and messages appeared on the instrument cluster. I specifically remember the red battery/charging-system warning being illuminated. The dashboard also displayed a warning relating to the power/charging system and a message instructing me to shift or put the vehicle into Park. I had to get the vehicle safely out of moving traffic. This was extremely frightening because the loss of propulsion occurred suddenly at highway speed and could have resulted in a serious collision. This vehicle has previously been brought to an authorized Jeep dealership multiple times for recalls/service involving the battery/electrical/12-volt system. On a previous occasion, the vehicle also failed to start while parked in my garage. After this highway incident occurred and after I was eventually able to get the vehicle operating again, my husband disconnected the 12-volt battery in an attempt to perform a hard reset. The battery was disconnected AFTER the loss-of-propulsion event and therefore did not precede the highway failure. The vehicle is currently at an authorized Jeep dealership for diagnosis. I have asked the dealership to document the complete loss of propulsion, retrieve any available stored, pending, history or permanent diagnostic trouble codes, and determine the cause of the failure. I am reporting this incident because I am very concerned that an electrical, hybrid, battery, charging or powertrain defect may cause the vehicle to suddenly lose motive power again while being driven. A sudden loss of propulsion at highway speed presents a serious safety risk to the occupants of this vehicle and to other motorists.
