A software update for the Uconnext system was pushed to the vehicle and accepted. Immediately after the car said the system was updated, the vehicle engine stopped completely, and the whole dashboard shut down. Restarted the car, but this repeated several times in a very short distance. The “D” was blinking in the transmission. It was barely possible to pull the vehicle over, as all power was lost. After some time stopped and waiting for a tow truck, driver pushed the factory reset button to reset the system. After factory reset, the car operated normally.

Car engine cut off completely 3 separate times during a short 1.2 mile trip through neighborhood (20-25mph). Car prompted me to put car in park and start engine. I had to coast to side of road, stop, park, then restart engine each time. 30 seconds between each start/failure. Scary!! Car had 80% hybrid battery charge before I left the house. Infotainment prompted me for an OTA update earlier in the day - coincidence?? Check engine light turned on. OBD2 fault code P1e1d. I've owned the car for 2.5 months with no prior issues.
Car lit up while driving with multiple warnings, check traction control, check charging system, etc. wouldn’t power off or drive or go into neutral. Had to tow. Stranded in dangerous area with no warning.
Updated the Uconnect Software, went grocery shopping, on way home from store car completely shut down on the highway, said to put it in park to restart. Software updates shouldn’t cause complete power failure.
After a software update tonight, the jeep shut down while driving, loosing all power, and indicating to shift the vehicle to park. after that restarted the vehicle and got CEL code P1E1D and the vehicle went into limp mode.
Did a software update on my car. Afterwards I turned it on and it started up really rough then a couple minutes later it shut off.
I parked to go into the grocery store and a message popped ip about an update. I clicked update now and the screen went black and the vehicle shut off. I left the store and in the middle of the road the whole jeep lunged forward and shut off. It said to go into park and turn on the vehicle. I drive slow home and my husband tried to take a look and drove it around our complex and it did the same to him and would not allow him to go over 15 miles an hour and that was pedal to the floor. It is now parked in our complex away from other cars as I’m in fear it might ignite as that is a popular issue with the 4xe. I have had the radio replaced due to a malfunction and it was warranty. I fear there is an electrical malfunction.
Loss of propulsion while driving. Vehicle went into neutral and forced to pull over and restart the engine. This is due to a bad software update that jeep updated over the air just minutes earlier. This is being reported by hundreds of users on various forums on Reddit and Facebook.
The car got a uconnect update tonight. 30 minutes later, when driving the car for the first time since the update, the car shut off while in drive going 30mph. The car loses power, tells you to shift to park. Turning the car off and on enabled it to drive for a while longer, but the same thing happened again. The check engine light is on, and it's giving a number of code errors around the hybrid controller.
The car while driving just stopped and instructed me to put it in park engine electrical malfunction.

Soon after the failure, the instrument panel went blank. The contact stated that the vehicle lost motive power with a loud fan blowing sound coming from the vehicle. The contact pulled over and turned off the vehicle. Upon restarting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to exceed 20 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions however, the mechanics were unable to duplicate the failure or diagnose the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer unrepaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000
The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle shut off with the "Service Charging System" warning light illuminated. The vehicle coasted off to the shoulder of the roadway with several unknown warning lights flashing on the instrument panel. The contact stated that there was an abnormal clicking sound coming from the battery system, approximately every 20 seconds. Several attempts were made to restart the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to restart. Due to the failure, the contact called for a tow truck; however, while waiting for the tow truck, the vehicle restarted, and the contact drove the vehicle back to the residence. The following day, the contact called the dealer and made an appointment to service the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.
Touchscreen stereo will stop work/glitching while driving. It will freeze as I am backing up. Constantly rebooting itself. Cigarette outlet will randomly glitch when something is plugged in and will stop working. Starting to feel unsafe while driving especially when it starts glitching and freezing especially while I am I. Reverse
My vehicle has been brought back multiple times due to the hybrid not working. As per the dealer, no fix in currently available for this vehicle. I purchased this type of vehicle to save on gasoline, which I haven't been able to do. I spend over $712 per month and it has never worked properly
About one in 10 starts of my vehicle, the radio/infotainment screen will lock up, make a make a static sound, go black, and restart in a one minute cycle. Sometimes when I am in reverse, it will keep a picture of the back up camera, it’s a locked up picture (that is, not the camera view in motion) and which I think is dangerous, because it could give driver a false perception that there’s nothing behind the vehicle, and then the infotainment will reboot.
I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN: [XXX] ) that has experienced multiple hybrid system failures since the week of purchase. Despite several major repairs, the issues persist — raising significant safety and reliability concerns. Timeline of Major Issues: •[XXX]: Just two days after purchase, the vehicle was brought into the shop for hybrid system failure, requiring replacement of the high-voltage wiring harness and electric cooling heater. •Shortly after, the check engine light returned (per service staff, likely another hybrid fault). I was unable to bring it in at the time, and the light later turned off on its own. •[XXX}: After overnight charging, the battery was dead and the vehicle wouldn’t start. My wife (a medical provider) had to leave work to assist, causing major disruptions to patient care, financial loss, and missed school for my son. •[XXX]: After another overnight charge, the vehicle again failed to start, with more difficulty getting it to run than before. •[XXX}: The vehicle was returned to the shop and required replacement of the hybrid powertrain chip and additional high-voltage wiring. These failures mirror the symptoms and component issues currently under investigation in Recall 95B, yet my VIN does not show any open recalls, and I was never notified of any hybrid system defect. My vehicle has experienced the same hazardous failures and received the same repairs as affected vehicles. I am submitting this complaint because I believe my vehicle was improperly excluded from safety-related notifications and may be affected by a known, systemic hybrid defect. I am requesting that the federal safety agency include this case in its ongoing investigation into Jeep 4xe hybrid propulsion failures.

Vehicle abruptly lost all power while driving, multiple panel lights, turtle mode. Twice now, first time at an intersection (April 10, 2025), second time on street in front of my house after pulling out of driveway. Loss of power steering, insufficient power to get back up driveway to garage. Towed both times. First time spent 18 days at dealer, "multiple DTC codes", no definitive diagnosis. Back at dealer now for past 11 days, no diagnosis yet. Could easily have been life-threatening situation if occured while driving on freeway or at speed. Apparently known problem with these Jeep HEVs.
After a UConnect OTA software update was received in Feb of 2025, the radio frequently crashes and reboots shortly after starting the car. Frequently this will result in the backup camera image being frozen for up to 30 seconds before the radio reboots. This causes a potentially dangerous situation if you rely on the camera while backing up. Also, after this happens the wireless access point can not be enabled without manually rebooting the radio again.
This was the third time the vehicle ceased with 1/8 tank of gas left. These instances result in the gas light, engine light, and battery light to turn on and do not let the vehicle move into neutral, which has been unsafe as the vehicle shuts down somewhat unexpectedly and has taken place in the middle of the road without the option to push the vehicle off to the side.
Odometer Fraud. The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 24V652000 (Electrical System) and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair.

The instrument cluster screen panel went black without any warning. No information, just a solid black screen. I could not determine vehicle speed, fuel level, or see warnings/alerts for tire pressure, oil or transmission function. Vehicle is still in possession of dealership and not repaired.
Purchasd in January 2024 similar incident reported twice, early 2024 and now this date 12/2/24. Incident includes vehicle warning to “stop Vehicle. Engine will shut down’ followed by errant warning gauges going off, cameras, speedometer other indicators not working. Twice brought to dealer. First time they could not verify condition. Now I at dealer again for incident service. Pending. Seems to be a recurring problem dating years back with no resolution from Jeep. A very unsettling issue as to safety and drivability of vehicle.

The first time this happened I was in Maryland, while reversing out of a parking spot onto [XXX] , the Jeep just shut off, just before that every light on the panel went off and the ABS, Powertrain just to name a few failed. I was stuck 3/4 out of the spot when the shutdown occurred, the steering wheel locked, gear shift wouldn’t move and when I tried to press the brake it wouldn’t go down. I had to hit the ignition to reset it while out in oncoming traffic, after 2 attempts, I was able to get it started and shift into park, then drive and then pull in. During this time the check engine light was on. When I returned to NH I took it to the dealership ( Bonneville & son) they had it for nearly 2 weeks, determined it was the alternator output. They ordered a new one but due to a sku error in jeeps system, it was the wrong part, so they had it an additional 4 days. Today [XXX], I was pulling Symmes Dr to park at the park and ride in Londonderry. While going around a curve, the jeep did the same thing and just shut off at 32mph. Steering wheel locked up, everything went dark on all screens, I could not brake or accelerate. There was no space on the side of the road, there was a line of 3 cars on the opposite lane and there was a tractor trailer in my rearview mirror shuttering. He was able to stop at an angle but was stopped less than 4 feet from my rear bumper. When I saw it in the mirror, I thought that was it. I was almost killed today due to jeeps complacency.
