Jeep lunched an OTA update on Friday October 10, 2025 in the afternoon (Los Angeles time area). I did the update when I came home and the next day when I started driving the car it abruptly stopped, signals were blinking including the engine system one and it was stating that I was experiencing an electric issue. It was also asking me to put the car in parking mode and I needed to shut off and restart the car to gain power again but it was stopping really quickly after again. I also have videos that I could not upload here if necessary to show exaclty what is happening.
2024 Jeep Wrangler electrical complaints
Page 11 of 15: complaints 281 to 310 of 428, newest first, as owners wrote them.
As I was driving on the local road, the speed dropped to 0 mph and could not accelerate. The jeep shuts down in the middle of road. Put it back in the Park mode, restart, all lights including engine lights were ON. Drove another 100 ft and stop again and repeat the whole process. I was luckily within 2 miles of my home and was able to drag this back to home in 20 minutes with 5-7 stops. The other cars were honking and flashing as I keep stopping every 200 ft with no warning. Not sure if this is software issue as a lot of people are posting on facebook and other Jeep forums of having same problem between Friday 10/10/2025 and now. I towed the car back to the dealership on 10/13/25 and have no vehicle to drive for now.
other the air update on 10/10/2025 resulted in forced stalling of vehicle while in motion
The car stalled completely (‘Bricked’) while driving at approx 30mph. Everything cut off, power, steering, braked and the vehicle came to a stop in the road. I put the car in park and restarted it but the engine light has been on ever since. I took it to Jeep who told me to keep driving it unless it got worse and to call back in two days as they had a garage full of jeeps with the same problem.
A recent computer upgrade was requested via the jeep computer system and initiated. The next day, while driving, the jeep kept losing power and the engine shut off multiple times. The check engine light went on after the loss of power but not before. There were no symptoms prior to the malfunction nor prior to the update that was initiated the night before. This was especially dangerous while highway driving. The jeep was brought to the dealership service department. The dealership service department stated they can not touch the jeep for this item until a fix is initiated by Stellantis.
I was driving the jeep in my neighborhood when the dashboard flickered and it told me to put the vehicle in park and press the "start" button (same message it would give when you get in the car and get ready to start it, except it was already running and I was driving). Vehicle seemed to lose some power assist features like steering. I wasn't going fast, so it was hard to tell exactly what switched off, but the brakes felt stiff as well. I was able to stop the Jeep, turned it off, and then back on... which *seemed* to resolve the issue but then I had a check engine light on. I have a small diagnostic tool so I plugged it in and it give me 3 codes about control modules experiencing an "improper wake up" (whatever that means). Thankful I was not on the interstate at highway speeds or it could have been very dangerous.
Check engine light went on while D on shifter simultaneously began flashing. Car lost power and steering locked.
Vehicle lost acceleration and power while driving on my way to work. I was able to restart the Jeep and get it off the road. I was able to pull the OBD codes from the Jeep; P1E1D. I then remembered the last time I drove the Jeep, it prompted for a uconnect update (OTA). This morning was the first time driving it since that update.
Loss of motive power. During normal operation, the vehicle suddenly loses a drive power and prompts user to shift into park and push the break before ignition. To reset, I had to stop the vehicle, shift into park and restart. This behavior repeated 4-5 times in an 2 mile trip. The dangerously degraded performance described above was preceded by an OTA software update on 10/11/2025.
The car updated with the latest uConnect on Friday night. The next morning car drove fine for about .5 miles, the drive gear selector on the screen started to flash with no power to the car. The car had stopped accelerating in heavy traffic with no where to pull over on the side of the road. Performed same issues 3 times, after the third time the car went into limp mode. Had to be towed to dealer, it is currently in service on limp mode with no next steps
When driving at full speed vehicle shuts off and says to put into park. You cannot accelerate. Warning lights come on saying Antilock system failure, Hybrid system issues along with many other lights. You can be going 70 and it just turns off. We were driving from Sandusky Ohio home to Indiana and this happened. Our safety was put at risk fue to being on highways and out of nowhere our vehicle would lose acceleration and you would have to pull over and restart the car.
I performed a software update on my 2024 Jeep Wrangler as prompted by the Uconnect system. Immediately after performing that update the next time I turned the car on the engine completely shut off, and the dashboard blinked shift to park and then drive. The engine continued intermittently, completely shutting off while driving. It became clear after an online search that this was a common issue happening to Jeep Wrangler users who had performed this software update. This was terrifying. Supposedly there is a fix in the form of a new software update, being pushed out, but I have not been able to power cycle. The vehicle into performing that software update to fix the car.
I was driving down the street and my car turned off in the middle of the road with an electrical stability control failure and brought me to a stop in the middle of the road of busy traffic. I turned the car off and back on, and it was able to get me to a parking lot before shutting off again. From there, I had to get it towed to the dealership out of concern for my safety. Looking into the issue online, looks like a software update I had installed the night before caused the failure and resulted in my car shutting off. This is a major safety concern for me.
A serious safety issue that occurred earlier today. While driving with my family on the highway, my 2024 Wrangler 4xe suddenly shut down completely without warning. I was fortunate to pull over safely, but it could have resulted in a serious accident. A complete shutdown with no warning is extremely dangerous and there was no recall.
After an update on 10/10/2025 when arriving home, the next morning 10/11/2025 while driving the check engine light came on and I lost all power less than a mile from home. I turned off the jeep, turned it back on and proceeded to try and drive to the next drive way to turn around and go home. In under a half mile, I lost power again (at 55mph). Got it restarted and turned into the drive way to turn around. When turning left out of the driveway, I lost power a third time and my jeep would not restart. I was across two lanes of traffic and we needed to push the jeep back into the driveway, but the auto brake kept engaging. Had Jeep towed to a dealership.
Vehicle received a UConnect update on 10/10/25. The next morning the vehicle was only able to drive 2-3 blocks before the engine lost power, check engine light turned on, and the board directed me to shift the car into park and start the car. I was able to restart the car and it did the exact same thing within 200-300 feet. I was able to get the car to the dealership so they can look into how to resolve. There are a lot of postings online with others experiencing the same thing (some losing power when they were driving down the highway). All appear to be related to the UConnect update. Don’t feel safe driving the car not knowing when it will lose power again.
Coming out of our driveway, the Jeep randomly flashed D at us and told us to put the car in park to restart. We thought that was weird as it was, but it only got worse from there. Well over 30 minutes later, while driving northbound I35 in the left lane, we experienced full power failure. We had to make it across three lanes of traffic in the midst of a busy highway with 18-wheelers all around using the only energy left over from our 70mph drive. Once we were on the side of the highway, we were finally able to get the Jeep on and moving again. At this point, the check engine light is on. We were just trying to make it to the next city so we could make a plan, and everything was fine for about 2 more miles. We got onto a bridge and the power failed again. Now, even though we opted to stay in the right lane out of fear for our safety, we have nowhere to go, no shoulder, just guard rail and whatever was below, and still have traffic all around us going at speed. We took the access roads where we could, but the car continued to lose power at a faster rate. Finally, at the Jeep Dealership in Hillsboro, the service team plugged the jeep in and said a code was thrown but they would not look at it until Monday.
Vehicle completely lost power while driving nearly resulting in an accident. Engine cut off and loss of power occured including power steering. Vehicle stated to put car in park while Vehicle was still in motion. Vehicle restarted but then the same thing happened. This occured 4 more times. I was able to make it to the dealership near by. I had young children in the car at the time.
While driving in town, this vehicle lost power 3 times in 2 blocks. I had to put it in park and restart it each time. It resembles the problem reported as being recalled on 2021-2023 Wranglers, this one is a 2024. I drive on the highway an hour to and from work and am very concerned this could cause a major accident resulting in injury and/or death.
My vehicle completely shut down while driving after a reported connect update issue on 10/10. I was driving down the highway on 10/12 and it completely lost power.
Pulled vehicle out of the garage. Stopped with foot on the brake. Let off the brake to drive and the check engine light came on along with a red light on the gauge cluster with a red wrench. Warning came on the screen saying put vehicle in park and press the start stop button. Vehicle turned back on and the screen said no hybrid power available. Drove down my driveway and complete loss of power. Screen again said put vehicle back in park and press start stop button. Again the vehicle started and I returned to my driveway and parked the vehicle. Check engine light remained on when vehicle was on.
Updated my jeep (per the prompt) on 10/11. Subsequently Lost power steering and power while driving. Had to turn off the car and restart it. Not safe to drive and unpredictable.
I was driving down and my vehicle lost power. I was able to steer and brake but the gas wouldn’t work. I was able to pull off and restart the vehicle and it did it again with a short amount of time.
Jeep performed over the air update to the telematics box module. After update the vehicle, while in drive and running, driving on a public road way, set off a dash message to “place car in park to start”. Then suddenly can to a very violent stop in traffic. This could have cause an accident or loss of life. Vehicle is at jeep dealer waiting on fix. Thousands of 4xE hybrid jeeps are effected.
Was driving on highway at speed of 60mph then the vehicle loss motive and drifted with no power. Check engine light came on and was able to move to the shoulder. I was able to restart the vehicle but would move for a min then loose power again. Didn't matter whether on electric, hybrid,or gas.
My car updated and now keeps stalling and the error said to service the electronic stability control.
Jeep pushed out an over-the-air update to UConnect on 10/10/25, which I installed. After installing the update, my car completely shut off in the middle of an intersection. I could have been killed. I restarted the cr, and it continued to do this every few minutes all the way home. I tried to call Jeep and they said they could not help me because the update came from Stellantis. It was well documented and numerous other folks seem to be impacted [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I was driving on the highway with my son and the jeep completely lost power at 65mph. The gas would not work and the dash was telling me to put the car in park and press the start button. I had to move to the right lane and coast to the side of the highway and restart the Jeep. This continued to happen 2 more times. This is very unsafe and I will not drive this car.
My car did an automatic UConnect update. I went to dinner, got back in my car an hour later and about 2minutes later while driving, my engine shut off and and the Press Break and Push Start came on. I had no power at all while making a turn through an intersection. I pulled over as much as I could, powered off the vehicle completely. Waited a minute and it started back up, but now the engine light was on. Was able to make it home (7miles) but was vey concerned about it shutting off again, at night while driving home. Dealer can’t get my vehicle in for a week!
Software update on 10/10/25. In afternoon. Accepted update over our home wifi. [XXX] left house at [XXX] to go to Gunnison to visit our kids. After I pulled out of the driveway the car shut off. I started it again and drove a block car shut off again. Switched to e-save and drove the car down to mailbox. As I pulled into mailbox center the car shut off again. I restarted noted the check engine light and drove home. Called Perkins motors in colorado springs. Got an appointment to bring the car in at 1pm. Drove straight to the dealers service. They asked if I did a software update, which I confirmed. They said other 4xe owners had experienced the same issue. The checked in the car and we ran into someone else with the exact same issue in the waiting room. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
