2024 Jeep Wrangler engine problems

Filed Nov 5, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · AL

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.

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.

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe models. Sudden loss of power while driving up hill in the electric mode. It would not go over 59 miles per hour and then it switched over to hybrid all on its own. This happened a few times and I could not go fast enough on the freeway. The next week the check engine light was on along with, engine warning light: service battery charging system and it would not start. I have a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sahara. All recalls are up to date. My jeep suddenly lost acceleration while I was driving. It happened more than once, including a frightening situation when my vehicle rapidly slowed from approximately 65-59-45. My Jeep was subsequently towed to the dealership.

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.

My jeep after the 68c recall work was performed to lessen the chances of a fire caused by the hybrid battery now under performs compared to before the recall. I get much less that the advertised EV / Battery only miles. Also, the vehicle hesitates while trying to transition between battery only and hybrid modes. My only recorse is to not use the battery only mode because it is a safety concern.

This is my 5th Jeep over many years. I have the Wrangler Jeep 4 Xe 2024 model that is pristine kept. There have been over 5 recalls of different matters and there is still a recall outstanding from OCTOBER of 2025. Although this car is marketed for rough terrain (which I do not do), it has been in the shop for many times- some with Safety Recalls to include Risk of Fire, Loss of Power and explosion. Some advising me NOT to charge the vehicle near a structure. The brand has not stood behind their brand and advised me to rent a car (at my expense until they reimburse me). The lease/purchase is for a SAFE, RELIABLE source of transportation yet the manufacture does not stand behind their product and is leaving it to the inconvenience of me to rectify their shortfalls. I have not been offered any compensation for a higher level vehicle that I leased (hybrid) to exit my lease and settle to lease a vehicle that is of better quality. I have maintained all paperwork for documentation to a class action suit that I joined, but it would be better for all parties to settle amicably in a private forum.

One two occasions on the freeway the display will state "Service Engine See Dealer" and then the car goes into a limp mode and essentially shuts down. Both times we've had to quickly get to the emergency lane, wait for several minutes then turn the vehicle back on. We've taken the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that they diagnosed it and tried to recreate the issue but cannot reproduce it so they say there is nothing to fix.

Since the completion of the 68c recall, my Jeep has a concerning issue: when driving in “electric” mode for about 15-20 minutes, the available power starts to decline. Despite pressing on the accelerator it continues to decline for about 10-15 seconds. Then the screen displays “Electric Mode Temporarily Unavailable”, the ICE starts and engages (with no warmup) and the Jeep switches to “Hybrid” mode. This all happens despite there being a 40%+ charge remaining on the battery and ambient temperature being less than 70 degrees F. I believe the 10-15 seconds of reduced power poses a significant safety risk in a situation such as passing a vehicle or pulling out in traffic.
