2024 Jeep Wrangler electrical problems

Filed Nov 6, 2026 · Electrical, Transmission · OH

I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Since approximately 2,000 miles, the vehicle has experienced repeated hard shifting and jerking, especially when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership four times for repairs, but the problem continues. The dealership replaced the ECM/computer, performed transmission service, and worked on electrical issues. Despite these repairs, the problem continues. I am concerned about the safety and reliability of my vehicle. I request that the federal safety agency investigate this recurring transmission problem.

I purchased my 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4XE in December 2024. Shortly after the purchase I was notified of the 68C recall. This recall was associated with the Hybrid System Battery. After the recall and subsequent computer upgraded the performance of the vehicle was noticeably different. There was a significant loss of power and changes in the way the IC engine activated. After the the update the vehicle has noticeable acceleration and responsiveness issues. I feel this presents a safety issue that was not there at the original purchase time. I think Jeep has the responsibility to address these safety issues.

I was driving on highway and the jeep shutdown completely with zero warning and locked up. No lights came on, no warnings in the app, zero indications. I almost hit a car head on trying to get it off the road and into parking area which it didn't make. The jeep turned completely off, power steering locked up, and it was like a light switch had been flipped with no prior warnings. Luckily, this happened at relatively lower speeds, but it shouldn't have happened at all. 2 weeks ago it was released from jeep dealership service department due to this issue happening before with my husband driving but it went off while stopped at a red light. This time the vehicle was moving when it went out. They replaced both batteries and fuse array / fuse box. They stated the batteries were bad. Obviously it is not the batteries or fuse arrays since both are only 2 weeks old. Therefore there is something serious going on with this vehicle and no vehicle with less than 38,000 should have major mechanical oe electrical failure. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle in current state and if this continues without jeep being held responsible for doing something about it someone is going to get killed. It shouldn't take a death before the company is held responsible.

Upon starting the vehicle, dashboard airbag light comes on in conjunction with error message "Airbag system disabled" in conjunction with SOS light illuminated and error message "SOS Services Unavailable" displayed in vehicle infotainment system. After driving between 10-30 minutes, all warning lights go off and no further issues arise as long as vehicle is in operation. Errors reoccure after turning vehicle off then back on again.

Since the 68C Recall software update was performed on my Jeep, the vehicle has experienced recurring, unexpected losses of motive power while driving in Electric Mode. During these events, pressing the accelerator yields no response. Moments later, an "Electric Mode Unavailable" warning displays, followed by the gasoline engine starting and causing the vehicle to surge forward. This phenomenon occurs unpredictably—typically when the hybrid battery charge drops below 45–50%—and has occurred twice in the past week alone, nearly causing a rear-end collision each time. I previously submitted the vehicle to the dealership for repair, but no corrective action was taken. The dealership advised that the vehicle operates normally according to post-recall software parameters designed to prevent battery overheating. However, forcing an unprompted loss of motive power in active traffic creates a critical safety hazard.

The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V710000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.

My jeep has been in the shop MULTIPLE times for a check engine light. Approximately 7-8 times. I've always been told, it's just giving 2-3 different codes and it's nothing to worry about. About a month ago, I was driving my Jeep and it just stopped running. I was sitting in the middle of a very busy intersection. I could not put it in natural to push it to the side of the road, I couldn't get it started, it was just doing nothing. For approximately 45 mins It sat in the middle of an intersection with people yelling at me, beeping at me, etc... When my wife arrived to help me get my stuff out of the vehicle, I tried it one more time and it started up. I then drove it immediately to the dealership. Every light on the dashboard was lit up and the engine was revving like a lawn mower. Got it to the dealership AGAIN was told the whole EV battery needed to be replaced. It's a 2024 Wrangler 4XE with around 15,000 miles on it. I think it's been in the shop longer than I've actually driven it the past couple of year. I will never buy another Jeep product.

I am reporting a serious safety concern involving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X 4xe following Recall 68C (the federal safety agency 25V‑741). After the recall software update, my vehicle experienced a significant reduction in electric-mode power and acceleration. Electric mode has become practically unusable and potentially dangerous, especially during highway driving. Before the update, electric mode provided adequate and predictable acceleration. Following the update, the vehicle struggles to deliver sufficient power when merging onto highways, entering fast-moving traffic, passing other vehicles, or accelerating uphill. This creates serious safety risks because drivers need reliable acceleration to safely navigate traffic and avoid collisions. The reduced power makes it difficult to match highway speeds or respond quickly to changing road conditions. I am extremely concerned that a recall intended to address a high-voltage battery safety issue may have introduced another safety hazard by significantly restricting electric propulsion performance. This is not simply a customer dissatisfaction issue. It directly affects vehicle safety and my confidence in operating the vehicle in electric mode. I request that the federal safety agency investigate whether Recall 68C introduced software restrictions affecting electric-motor power and acceleration, determine whether other Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners face similar risks, and require Stellantis to provide an effective remedy. A safety recall should not create additional hazards or compromise the vehicle's ability to accelerate safely and predictably.

My most serious complaint concerns the vehicle’s behavior following completion of the 68C / the federal safety agency 25V‑741 high-voltage battery recall software update. Since that update, I have experienced reductions in electric-drive power, hesitation, and unexpected engagement of the gasoline engine while driving. The resulting delay in power delivery is particularly concerning when merging into traffic or passing another vehicle, when predictable acceleration is essential. While turning right at an intersection, I have personally experienced reduction of power followed by engagement of the ICE resulting in an unexpected delay in vehicle speed control. I have experienced this scenario multiple times and also when merging onto the hwy. There were no warning lamps or messages. When discussed with the dealership, I was told that this is now the normal operation of the vehicle, but would not explain what changes were made or how it works. This is unacceptable and can put myself or other Jeep 4xe owners at risk.

Since getting the recalls done on my vehicle, I have experienced loss of power, acceleration & automatic dry engine start while in “electric mode”. This seems to happen when vehicle reaches a certain temp. I live in [XXX] so it is always hot! Example: I’ll be driving at highway speed or going up an incline and all of a sudden I will lose propulsion and eventually the engine will cold start even when I have plenty of battery % left! This is scary as this never happened before I had the recalls done! I have several concerns. First, there is a safety risk with loss of propulsion, also I have concern on future engine wear from cold starts at speed.
