My car was stalling out every 30 second while I was driving. The dash would immediately tell me to put my car in park. Once I put my car in park, my car would lock up and not let me shift back into drive unless I turned the car off and back on again. This is extremely dangerous as my car just shuts down mid driving. The car is currently at the dealership being inspected and they have not fully confirmed what’s going on. The check engine light came on also the low tire pressure came on as well even though I did not have low tire pressure because it was showing my gauge in my gauge was normal.

After software update jeep will not drive
After performing the over the air Uconnect update my vehicle stopped moving in the middle of traffic. An error message said service charging system, and put into P and start vehicle. Me and my family were in danger. I was able to finally reset vehicle and pull into a safe parking area.
I accepted a uconnect software update last night and this morning lost complete power while diving my jeep multiple times. I had to pull over on busy streets, put the vehicle in park, turn on/off the vehicle a couple times and got it to start again. The check engine light has been on since. I went to the dealership and they said they’ve received multiple complaints today as well. I have it home and not drivable.
While driving, a warning suddenly appeared stating “Electronic Stability Control Failure.” Immediately afterward, the vehicle stopped accelerating and automatically shifted from RUN to ACC mode with no throttle response or acceleration control. Traffic was moderate, and when the vehicle abruptly lost propulsion, several cars behind me had to brake hard and nearly collided with my vehicle. I was able to coast and pull off the roadway safely, but it was a dangerous situation that could easily have caused an accident. This failure occurred without warning, and the vehicle has a history of prior powertrain and driver-assistance system issues, including repeated “Four Wheel Drive Service” and “Electric Power Steering Fail” warnings earlier in 2025. The most recent event on October 11, 2025, was the most severe and created a serious safety hazard. Vehicle: 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Mileage: approximately 10,000 miles Condition: Leased, well maintained, all service performed at authorized Jeep dealership
I was slowing down for a stoplight vehicle shut off, came to an abrupt stop and shifted itself into Park. I then had to use the shifter knob to adjust it to Park to get the vehicle to turn on. This almost caused and rear end accident as I was not fully to the stop line area of for the light. The vehicle would then not go over 2500 RPMs and had to be limped off of the roadway. There were no warnings before this happened. All of it happened in a split second and my partner and I were jolted forward. I immediately reported this to the jeep dealership and they were very concerned about this. After this incident, my service engine light came on and stayed on later in the day it disappeared on its own without any clearing of any devices. I have attached pictures of what showed up as warning lights as soon as this incident happened.
2024 Hybrid. Vehicle shuts down while driving. Driver had to pull over to shut vehicle down and then restart it. Very dangerous situation.
The Jeep stop while driving reduced speed, the dashboard said shift to P AND that it was not safe to drive due to performance. The check engine light is on and will not turn off, the jeep will not drive in electric mode. Also there was an update with Uconnect.
Completed the 'Uconnect' Update last night. This morning it drove for about 30 seconds before it completely shut down and the check engine light came on. Neither the electric, hybrid or gas engine would work. I was able to have it drift/coast to the left to park it. Turned it off and back on and it made it home. It was then towed to the dealership. My safety would be at risk if someone hadn't realized what was happening and had run into me. The vehicle has been taken to the shop, they won't diagnose it until Monday, but I did send them a video of the error. No warning lights prior to the car losing power.
Vehicle completely shuts off while driving. Forced to come to a stop and restart. Started happening after over the air update to the u connect system. Happens 6 times on 20 mile drive.
Vehicle did over the air software update overnight. First drive the vehicle after approximately half a mile engine stalled out electronics went off. Vehicle lost communication with key would not restart. MIL light showing many codes on reader. Several power cycles vehicle run, but cut out further three times once on a freeway underpass. The hazard flashing lights would not work dead on key. Restarted it after five seconds limped to parking lot. Came back after shopping vehicle seems OK. Very dangerous issue complete loss of power.
While driving the car shut down. We had to come to a stop to put it in park to restart. Thankfully we were in a a parking lot after one incidence and once on a side road. We would be in a very dangerous situation if we had been on the highway. Our dealer service center said it might be a software update issue but they are not sure. These incidents did occur immediately after a software update. The check engine light did come on a stayed on after the shut down.
Got an OTA Update last night, this morning saw some post on the internet about that update went to check my jeep and it came on but once it kicks the gas engine for like 2 or 3 seconds the vehicle shut off and asked to shift to park, if I don’t see this internet news I’d have been stranded on the road
The vehicle did an over the air update once we pulled into a restaurant. While driving home after the update the vehicle stopped in the middle of the road and had no power. The dash said to move the shifter to park and all the warning lights including the check engine light is on. We turned power off and back on and was able to go 1 mile home before it shut off In The driveway with all the same lights and no power.
Software update causes vehicle to completely loose power after two minutes or so of driving. Very serious problem and dangerous. Requires stopping vehicle immediately and rebooting. Happens again and again.
Jeep pushed a software update on 4xe models on 10-10-2025. Today on 10-11-25 I pulled out of my driveway drove less than 100 feet and lost power. The check engine light came on vehicle said to switch to park and start the vehicle. This happens four times trying to turn around in a 2 block radius to get home. With the vehicle parked I turned it on kept my foot on the brake vehicle in drive and it continues to occur. Dealership said they had several 4xe towed in and multiple calls. Jeep customer service claims they are unaware of the issue. My 2024 Jeep is not drivable.
After an over-the-air update of the Uconnect system on 10/10/25 the vehicle repeatedly lost propulsion. In each instance I abruptly had absolutely no acceleration, the gear indicator on the dash started flashing, the power mode indicator (electric/hybrid/esave) disappeared, an alert said shift into park and press the brake + start button, and the check engine light and red wrench lights came on. I was still able to steer and brake with power steering and brakes for maybe 30 seconds before those went out too. After putting it into park and pressing the brake and start button it started back up and I could drive it normally for a little bit, but it happened two more times on a 1.5 mi drive. This is a serious safety issue. I read the check engine code which was P1E1D
The vehicle did an over-the-air update to the vehicles software, u connect. The vehicle has since suffered two losses of propulsion while driving, with check engine light indicator illumination and a P1E1D code. This has been reported by numerous other 2024 4xe drivers.
Jeep pushed a Uconnect update on 10/10/2025 which I installed, caused my vehicle to shut off completely during driving on a main road shortly after leaving my home. All engine and dash lights came on, coult not take the vehicle out of drive. The shifter was stuck. I turned the vehicle off then moved shifter back to park and started it again. It continued to do this every few feet. This is extremely dangerous and could cause major accidents to happen.
After the software update on 10/10, the car is randomly dying while driving and getting a check engine light code P1E1D. Car will lose all power while moving, telling me to shift to park to start car. Widespread reports online of the same thing after the update. Called service center and Jeep support and they are clueless.
My jeep suddenly lost power and “service hybrid vehicle system” popped up 6 times. The engine had suddenly cut at 70mph. The was the morning after I had an over the air update from Jeep. It has not done this before.
After an update of the Uconnect system the vehicle will break on its one while driving and shut off. Check engine light remains on. Multiple diagnostic error codes appear.
Took uConnect update last night. Upon driving after update, jeep looses power and shuts down. Everything on dash lights up. Wants you to put vehicle in park. Throws a check engine light. Upon restart check engine light stays on, go a few miles and Jeep repeats the process.
Performed a UCONNECT Software update om 10/10 and about 1 hour later, while driving, it shutdown. i rolled off to side of road, engine light is on, it is completely unusable. Guess I am. towing it to dealership. Again this happened while i was driving.
When I pulled my Jeep 4xe into my garage, I got an alert on my radio saying my Jeep needed to updated. I selected to go ahead and update it. The next time I drove my vehicle, I made it about a quarter mile. When I was crossing an intersection, all of the lights on my dash went crazy and my Jeep completely shut down. Luckily I could put it into neutral to coast through the busy intersection. It was very scary. I had to pull over, turn it off and back on again. It did start up and continued to drive. Now my check engine light is on.
Jeep pushed out an OTA update for their Uconnect system. Upon completion of this update, that occurred while I was driving, I lost control of my vehicle. My steering wheel locked up, all of the lights on my dashboard started flashing, and I was instructed to pull the jeep over. I was unable to operate the vehicle and had to be towed.
After the the latest U-connect update, my jeep will not run after about 30 seconds while driving. Stalls while in motion. Will restart, but then shuts off again. Has an engine code on dash.
We’ve experienced multiple ongoing issues with this vehicle, and the dealership’s only suggestion so far has been to file a lemon law claim. Last month, the car began jerking excessively while driving typically at speeds between 35–45 mph. The best way to describe it is that it feels as though all the wheels lock up at once, causing a loud tire-screeching noise. It was a frightening experience. The dealership claimed to have resolved the issue with a “software update.” However, just last night, my wife was stranded on the highway when the car suddenly started shutting down mid-drive, similar to what happens when a vehicle runs out of gas. The maximum speed she could reach was about 20 mph, and the check engine light came on. She switched from hybrid mode to eSave (gas-only mode), which allowed her to get home safely. This morning, she tested it again. The check engine light was initially off, but after a short drive, it came back on and the vehicle started shutting down again. This Jeep is a lease, and despite being in the shop five times three of those for a full week the dealership continues to “service” it without providing a real solution. We are extremely concerned about the vehicle’s safety and reliability at this point.
This issue happens after an update on the car. Within 10 minutes after the car update the engine light came on and the car shut down on the road completely unable to drive . Without a warning, car stop to a complete shutdown while driving. My safety was at risk 5 times almost got into a car accident due to this issue where the car completely stopped while driving. Steering wheel completely locks when the car shuts down.
Car stoped in the middle of the road, won’t shift out of park. All this after an “update”
