While driving the vehicle “shuts down “ and you can only coast and try to find somewhere to pull over. I had to avoid highways so that I had a place to pull over. Extremely dangerous
While driving, Jeep stalled out/became unresponsive, D started flashing on gear shift panel and dashboard, check engine light came on and dashboard message said: "shift to P to start" "Press brake & Push button to start" While jeep was already ON and was driving. Very dangerous!! This happened 4x in 1 mile radius. Had to put in P, shut off and restart but kept happening. Luckily was able to maneuver/glide jeep to parking lot but this sudden loss of power is extremely dangerous. I could’ve been rear-ended or worse each time it happened. Per Jeep forums this occurred after a Uconnect update. Several Jeep Owners are having the same issue with no word from Jeep. This update was done on a Friday evening (10/10/25) of holiday weekend. No one is available in service department until Tuesday (10/14/25). According to JeepCares Forum… it was a telematics box module update.
My 2024 Jeep Rubicon 4xe has experienced three separate incidents of complete power loss following the October 10, 2025 Uconnect software update (version FCA-MY24.U33.43-PROD). In two cases, the failure occurred while crossing active intersections, where the vehicle abruptly lost acceleration, flashed gear indicators, and displayed a “Shift to Park and Press Brake + Start Button” message. The vehicle became unresponsive and required a lengthy restart. These incidents posed serious safety risks to myself, my young driver, and surrounding drivers. I’ve attempted resets and reviewed Jeeps online community, Jeep connect app, but no fix is available. Multiple owners are reporting identical failures online, suggesting a widespread and massive software fault. I urge the federal safety agency to investigate this issue and compel Jeep to issue a rollback or patch to restore safe operation immediately. I am also requesting the federal safety agency to legally require these vehicles to be disabled immediately until a robust fix is available to avert life threatening consequences. I cannot believe Jeep has not done this on their own!!!
Once or twice per day vehicle brakes will lock up while accelerating from a stop. This usually occurs between 15 and 20 mph. It is a random occurrence. Also, after UConnect update, vehicle will lose power after driving for approximately 1 mile, requiring that the car be turned off and restarted. the car is drivable again for only another mile, then repeats the issue. Check engine light turns on.
The vehicle lost significant power while driving. I was only able to go 30mph, then a message told me to restart the vehicle with the brake pressed and start button. Then after it restarted I drove and it would only go 11 mph. Research online has indicated numerous jeep wrangler owners having this issue after applying an over the air update. The vehicle slowed down rapidly, this was very dangerous and put my family at risk. Since there was no brake lights indicated a slow down, vehicles behind me had to abruptly slow down. This could have cause an accident. The check engine light came on and has stayed on. This happened on 11 October 25, which is a Saturday, the dealerships closed by the time I was able to get address this issue due to family commitments. The dealerships are also not open on Sunday.
Vehicle suddenly shuts off while driving. Many other Wrangler owners (especially of 2024 models) are reporting same issue and saying it is due to recent Uconnect update. My issue also started after this update this past week. Has happened twice since the update on 10/10/2025. Very serious safety issue that can cause crashes from behind.
Car lost power as I was driving with an errors and just stopped working. As I was trying to get home this happened twice. I had to pull over and follow the prompts on screen. Seems like there was a bad update that has cause all 2024 Wrangler 4xe’s to do this. This is a huge problem really dangerous and inconvenient. This jeep is my only vehicle. I need a vehicle to drive. I called the dealership and they have no idea how to help me or fix this issue.
I was driving on the freeway when the vehicle randomly shut off and jolted me and my passengers. After turning the car off then back on the vehicle would drive fonafew miles and then repeat jolt and shut off. This seems to be linked to a software update that I did last night.
On 10/11/25 approximately 9pm my vehicle completed an OTA update initiated by the manufacturer. Upon completion of the update, I went for a drive. At approximately 30 mph, the vehicle suddenly shut off, shifted into neutral, and ceased to operate leaving me stranded in the middle of the road. The vehicle would not start, shift into neutral, or operate in any manner. Several warning instrument lights came on. After about 30 minutes, the vehicle started and continued to loose power several times before I could get it back home. We were lucky that we were not rear ended. There are hundreds of complaints on social media referring to the same situation for other Jeep 4xe vehicles after completing the OTA update. Stellantis has not issued any official statement regarding this. This is a situation that could result in serious injury or death to many as the vehicle suddenly loses all functionality with no warning. Check engine light is now on the dash.
A software update was installed overnight on 10/10/25 by the manufacturer. During this time the vehicle remained garaged. On 10/11/25 I attempted to drive the vehicle. It started fine but when I put it into “drive” and began pulling out of our garage, it only went about 15 feet before it came to an abrupt stop on its own and shut off. I restarted it and now the check engine light is on. Looking for answers, I went to the 4xe forum where I see a ton of messages from other Jeep customers having the same issue with this model year after this software update. I called the Jeep dealership where I purchased it last spring and was told they’ve had a bunch of calls today and I should not drive it and should have it towed to them on Monday so they can investigate the issue.
Immediately after installing a system update, car shut off/stalled while driving. Attempts to restart and continue driving only resulted in minimal forward progress. Very scary and very dangerous situation to have car just stop functioning while driving.
On 10/10/25, an Uconnect update appeared on info center console. I pressed the update now button and went into a store. After re-entering my vehicle, I drove one block and a message appeared on the dash that stated ‘Service Charging System’. At the same time as this message appeared while driving, the car abruptly shut down in traffic, nearly causing a collision with a vehicle behind me. After trying to restart for about 25 minutes, the car restarted and I was able to drive to my destination. On the morning of 10/11/25, I started to drive the vehicle to the mechanic. After about a minute of driving, the check engine light came on. Then about 2 minutes later, the vehicle abruptly shut down while driving, again nearly causing another collision. A message displayed to shift in park and restart. I followed these directions as I also made a call to the dealership to advise of this issue. The vehicle restarted and I was able to drive for another minute and vehicle shut down again while on the phone with the dealership. On the way to the mechanic, this issue happened several times more. Steering was also lost during this issue. Many complaints online are of this issue. Mechanic pulled codes as well.
My 2024 Jeep Wrangler stopped in the road as my husband was driving. On the dash it said to shift to park. And push start. When he did it would not move. He had it in drive and was stuck in the road for about 2 minutes. We are so thankful that no one hit us as we were just over a hill.
After traveling a short distance, the vehicle will shut down, lose all power and require you to restart. At which time the process repeats, short distance of travel with sudden loss off all vehicle functions. There is some indication that this is due to a software issue pushed in an ota update.
A software updated completed while I was driving and not 15 seconds later my jeep lost power and told me to shift into park. I carefully pulled over. Stopped the vehicle. Put it in park. And then restarted it. Drove about 30 seconds and it happened again. Check engine light is now on too.
Immediately after downloading the Uconnect 10/10/25 update, as requested by my Jeep, the car immediately lost all power, shutting completely off in 6pm traffic. This problem on 10/11/25 has been posted all over social media. Took the jeep to the dealership for service and they said they have no information from Stellantis about this occurring. No warnings prior to downloading update. We could have been killed.
Car is locking up and saying “press P to start” and shift gear lights start blinking. Check engine light is also on
Check engine light activated then intermittent loss of power while in motion or while stopped. Forced to restart engine. Happened after over the air update of Telemetrics box module update.
October 11, went to the grocery store and parked. Upon shutting off the vehicle, it asked to push an update. I said ok, plugged the charger into the charging station and went shopping. About an hour later I left the parking lot. Made it 200 yards and the vehicle shutoff and started to come to an abrupt stop. I was in a 40 mph zone, and the person behind laid on their horn and swerved. My vehicles check engine light came on, and it was still in drive with the dashboard displaying a flashing D. I put it in park, shut it off and put the flashers on. Once I restarted, CE light was still on, but it let me put it into drive and move. I made it another 200 yards and it did the same thing. Pulled over again and parked. This time, I selected e-save to run on fuel. It was driving a little strange to me, but I was able to make it home (4 miles) safely. I’ll be taking it into the shop as soon as I possibly can.
After doing the unconnect update on Oct 10, while the vehicle was driving it bricked (stopped moving, everything went off). Causing a near accident with our entire family in the car - young children involved! We pulled over and turned it off then back on again and we're in limp mode for a while when it bricked AGAIN this time in the middle of an intersection. This is a BRAND NEW Jeep and has barely been driven. Absolutely horrific!
I installed an update last night and today the vehicle just shuts off on it own. Looks like jeep stellantis pushed an updated that they clearly did no testing on. P1e1d-00 is the code when I scan. I can no longer drive my jeep.
After accepting a prompted Uconnect over-the-air (OTA) software update, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe began experiencing complete loss of motive power while driving. The vehicle suddenly lost acceleration capability and had to be restarted multiple times. I took the vehicle to McPeek’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Anaheim, CA, where technicians confirmed that multiple Wrangler 4xe vehicles had arrived the same day with the same failure following the same Uconnect update. The dealership performed a rollback to the previous software version, but the issue was not resolved. During the post-rollback road test, the technician confirmed that engine and propulsion issues persisted, and my service advisor advised that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. As a result, the Jeep was not released back to me and remains at the dealership pending further direction from Stellantis engineering. Diagnostic codes reported by other affected owners and visible in forums include U0293-00 (Lost communication with hybrid control module), U0010-00 (CAN bus communication failure), and P1E1D-00 (Hybrid control processor fault), which appear consistent with a communication breakdown between the Uconnect and hybrid powertrain systems. Jeep Customer Care has opened case #[XXX] for this incident and is coordinating with the dealer. This appears to be a safety-related defect, as the vehicle can unexpectedly lose power while in motion. Dealer: McPeek’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 1221 S Auto Center Dr, Anaheim, CA 92806 (714) 635-2340
Last night my Jeep Wrangler 4xe had a automated over the air software update come up on the screen. As normal i pressed update so the computers updated themselves. This morning I was approximately .5miles away from my house (first time driving since update), and I got multiple warning lights and errors on the dash. THE MOTOR THEN TURNED OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I pulled over, I was able to get the vehicle restarted and turned around. I made it about 1000feet from my house when the car TURNED OFF COMPLETLEY AGAIN. This time it would not restart. Luckily I was able to coast onto a side street off of a busy main road. I had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer. I later learned that Jeep pushed this update out and this same thing happened to THOUSANDS of 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. Myself, my wife and my infant son could have been killed due to Jeep's negligence and carelessness, there is no way that a software update should be pushed out without it being tested and vetted. Oh and the dealers have no solutions or loaners so I am already out $300 for a 3-day rental.
Had an update, and now the Jeep is flashing lights everywhere, there was a thud, and it won’t drive. If this happened while I was driving, it could have caused a big issue and accident.
After my UCONNECT software updated today 10/11/25 my car has not been driving right since. I can’t drive more than 20ft without it stopping flashing “shift to p” all my gears are lighting up i put the car into park with my foot on the break it flashes 3 different other issues then reverts back to my MPH, i am not able to shift it back into drive i have to then turn the car completely off then turn it back on shift it into drive. Happened on a major road with heavy traffic NOT SAFE. i managed to do a hard factory rest and drove it on E-SAVE which i was able to get the car to my house without having to pay $350 for towing. I’m praying it can get me to work on monday and this will be fixed by then because i cannot afford to miss work let alone pay for a rental due to JEEPS MISTAKE!! I pay a lot of money for this car which is a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe with less than 20k miles never had any other issues with it until now. VERY DISAPPOINTED!
My car will abruptly lose all power will driving down the road and the dash directs you to put it in park and restart the vehicle. This requires coming to a complete stop in the middle of the roadway. This happened 10x in a 30 mile drive and at times at highway speeds. Forcing me to either stop in the middle of the freeway or hope i can get to the side of the road to pull off. This is extremely dangerous and from my early research this is happening to all 4xe wranglers after a failed update last night. Jeep is advising people to drive the car in gas mode (which it does not have) but all 3 hybrid modes have the same result. Someone is going to be seriously injured or killed because of this issue. Nobody should be driving these vehicles like this and i dont know what my 18 year old daughter would have done if she was driving on the highway. This emergency needs immediate attention not the response from Jeep that they will “look into it monday”
What a scary experience I had today. Backing out of a parking spot, my jeep jerked and the Drive signal started flashing. The engine light turned on. Thank goodness I did not hit anyone or anything. My jeep had an automatic uconnect update yesterday. The jeep had to be towed because I was told by my Jeep service dealership where I got it, that it was unsafe to drive. I was out of state and had to use several Ubers and rent a car to get back home.
After installing the latest OTA update (U37.23-PROD), my Wrangler 4xe displayed “Service Hybrid System” and lost power while driving on the highway. The vehicle entered reduced-power mode, forcing me to continue using only the gas engine with limited acceleration. This is a safety issue. The problem started immediately after the OTA update. Diagnostic codes: U0594, P0A45, P1E1D. Please escalate this to Stellantis Technical Operations and confirm if a software reprogram (TSB 08-029-23) is available for my VIN. This situation created a serious safety concern while traveling 300 miles from home on a weekend with no Jeep dealers open.
After a software update, the car would drive a few miles and then shut down in the middle of driving. You would be required to stop the car, put it in park, and restart the car. The car check engine light comes on and is in a crawl mode, with little acceleration. This is a wide spread issue across all 2024 Jeep Wranglers 4xe
