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.
2024 Jeep Wrangler engine complaints
Page 13 of 15: complaints 341 to 370 of 420, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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
Performed software update yesterday evening while driving. Stopped to get gas and software update completed. Stopped to get food and when I got back into my car, check engine light came on and car abruptly emergency braked and powered off while in drive. Had to change drive mode to e save to make it home. Attempted to drive again and car lost power and came to a halt every other minute. Had to turn car off, turn back on wherever it halted. In the middle of traffic. Almost caused an accident several times. I have video.
On 10/10/2025 there was an OTA update to the telematics/Uconnect system in my car. After it finished the car shut off while I was driving it multiple times. I lost all power and had to coast to the side of the road. This is extremely unsafe. Everyone that did the update is having this issue.
After a system software update the vehicle bricked. Driving and engine would stop. Check engine light appeared as well as other lights.
After an update Jeep sent out on October 10, 2025, my Wrangler suddenly stalled while driving. I lost power steering, brakes, and total control of the vehicle. It forced me to shift to park. I had to drive home in limp mode, barely making it. My car is unable to be driven. It is a hazard. Thousands of others are having the issue as well — while on the freeway. This is deadly. Jeep has not put out any information. We are left without vehicles.
Car stopped “bricked” in the middle of freeway. Had gas half full
My car shut down while I was driving it. There was an update that my car did which caused it to stall. And then the engine light went off. Took it to the dealer and they did some things. Oil change tire rotation and I thought the recall but maybe not. Picked it up. Drove it out and in our way home it shut down on us in the middle of the road.
I updated the uconnect software. After the Jeep ran maybe a block and wanted me to put into park then the jeep engine shuts off you put in park and restart. Engine light is on. Jeep lasts for a block and then all lights flash and goes dead again. Not drivable. Very dangerous I was on a busy road where I couldn’t pull over. Jeep should be ashamed and held accountable
My vehicle is no longer working properly after the most recent update that happened on 10/10 my vehicle experienced weird sticking/stuttering while accelerating and then fully turned off on the road while driving. It was incredibly dangerous and I’m just glad there wasn’t anyone directly behind me at the time otherwise I would have for sure been rear ended. Now it shuts off every few minutes and the check engine light is on
When driving on a main road, my engine suddenly lost power with no advance warning. I was forced to coast to side of the road in order to put it back in Park and restart the engine. This happened 7 times during a 10 mile drive. It continues to happen no matter the distance driven
After completing an update on the vehicle, I tried driving home and the vehicle started jerking and stopped accelerating in the middle of the road, luckily no cars close behind me but it could have ended badly.
After automatic update, the vehicle lost propulsion and stopped at the middle of the road. All lights came on. Lost power steering as well. Restarting the car clears the lights except check engine light. It happened 2 more times on my way home.
After a software update the Jeep has issues with power, it powers off completely and I have to pull over and put it in park, then restart it only to be able to drive .5 mile before it shuts down again.
Immediately following a Uconnect software update performed around 11:00 AM on October 11, 2025, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe stalled multiple times while driving on the highway. The vehicle lost power and became inoperable, creating an extremely dangerous situation. I was transporting my child at the time. Trouble Code: P1E1D. Number of Stalls: 3 total (1 on highway, 2 shortly after). The dealer confirmed they had received around 12 other Wrangler 4xe vehicles towed in the same day for the same issue, and another nearby dealer reported over 15. I have since learned through online owner forums that many other 2024 Wrangler 4xe owners are experiencing identical failures after the same software update within the last 48 hours. Jeep/Stellantis has not issued any public statement or safety notice. This is a critical safety hazard affecting many vehicles and should be treated as a potential defect related to the most recent Uconnect update.
Driving on highway at 70 mph and I lose all power. Message says to shift to park. Jeep will not accelerate when gas pedal is pressed. Had to come to a complete stop, shift to park and luckily it drove for a few more miles to get me off the highway before getting killed. Multiple dash lights came on including check engine.
After downloading the latest UConnect update, I turned on my Jeep and started my drive. About 500 feet later all the dash lights came on, told me to shift into drive to drive (I was) and I lost all power and steering control. I turned the Jeep off and back on and I could drive. This time I made it 1/4 mile and it shut off again, same situation in the middle of an intersection making a left turn. I was nearly hit by other vehicles and had to rely on the downhill slope to roll into the closest parking lot. The software update is bricking all 4xe jeeps that download the software update. UConnect help said they didn’t have a solution and to call Jeep Customer Support. I called them and a man answered the phone and said “we can’t help, call back on Monday” and hung up. I called my dealership and they didn’t know what was wrong with it either. I now do not have a vehicle until Tuesday at the soonest due to the holiday and the weekend.
The engine shut off itself while driving on the freeway with highway speed, with warning message shift to P to start, after recent OTA update from jeep on Friday night. Forcing me to stall on the freeway and almost cause crash. Look like this is wild spread issue affecting all 2024 jeep 4xe after update and I dropped my car to dealership twice today but they not able to fix it.

On October 11, 2025, in the morning, shortly after installing a software update recommended by Jeep via the vehicle's infotainment screen panel, I experienced a sudden and complete loss of vehicle power while driving on the road at approximately 45 mph. This failure prevented me from controlling the vehicle, as the steering wheel locked up, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and into a ditch. I was able to restart the vehicle, and it initially appeared to operate normally. However, the same issue recurred within 60 seconds of restarting the engine, with another sudden loss of power and steering control. This defect nearly resulted in a serious collision, posing a significant risk of bodily injury to myself and other motorists on the road. No injuries occurred, but the incident could have been catastrophic at highway speeds. I believe this may be related to a software or electrical defect in the vehicle, potentially linked to the recent update. I request that the federal safety agency investigate this as a potential safety recall issue, as similar complaints of power loss and steering failures after software updates have been reported in Jeep models. Please contact me for additional details or documentation.
Following an update pushed by Jeep through UConnect, when accelerating through an intersection the propulsion completely stopped and the vehicle lost all drive. The dash flashed to put the vehicle in park and the check engine light came on. I had to let the vehicle roll slowly out of the intersection. I put the vehicle in park, restarted the vehile and the gas engine came on. I was then able to proceed to drive to a safe spot in limp mode. There was no warning except that all drive stopped. Jeep has been contacted and the have given ZERO assistance with a diagnosis. The vehicle has been towed to a dealership . Jeep has been very difficult to work with and is providing no information.
Over the air Software update for uconnect caused the vehicle to lose power and power steering at 60mph on the freeway only ten minutes after installing the update. Vehicle now loses power when attempting to drive with hybrid mode on. Vehicle is inoperable and unsafe to drive until Stellantis reverts this OTA update. All 2024 MY or newer Jeep Wrangler 4XE that received the update are impacted.
After a software update on 10/10/25, the Jeep Wrangler has become unreliable, with the hybrid powertrain failing while driving, leaving the driver and passengers in dangerous situations in traffic. This occurs at any speed and results in a total loss of the high voltage system, including motive force and power steering. This has happened in an intersection, while making an unprotected left turn, while in parking lots and other typical traffic situations.
Moments after installing a software update as instructed in my dashboard, my vehicle came to an immediate halt while driving on a busy freeway. The dashboard displayed instructions to shift the vehicle in park and restart the vehicle. I managed to move the vehicle onto the shoulder and completed these steps to regain control of the vehicle. I completed the rest of my commute on local roads, and this incident occurred two more times before I arrived home. This is not an isolated incident. Many users have reported similar incidents and accidents associated with the recent software update. I contacted Jeep to document this concern. However, they took no responsibility and offered no guidance to rectify the issue. This vehicle is only one year old and is now unsafe to drive.
Over the air update on 10/10/25, disabled my Wrangler. Engine light is on, vehicle shuts down, turns off while driving, continuous error messages, unable to operate vehicle safely, it will not stay running while driving. Within 20 miles, it shut down six times while driving on the highway. As of this date and time, Jeep, Mopar, Stellantis have not offered any guidance, assistance or potential fixes.
While driving at any rate of speed the vehicle would take over, shutting down driver control with a message on the dashboard saying to put vehicle in park. After pulling over to shut vehicle off, I would turn it back on, and was allowed to drive until this occurred again. A message would come up to service hybrid system.
Jeep sent an OTA update through the Uconnect system on 10/10. This morning while driving my vehicle lost power unexpectedly and was forced to stop and the check engine light is now on. Thankfully I was in a quiet residential area with not a lot of traffic or this could have been a serious accident. Jeep is saying it is was a telematics box module update and no fix is ready at this time.
After Jeep pushed over air update on 10/10/25, car experiences sudden and complete loss of power. Vehicle basically dies while in motion and had to wait until it stops to restart. In less than .5 mile, this happened 5 times.
Was driving on the freeway at 65 mph. Engine cut off completely and said to put it in park. No forward propulsion. This happened 2 times in a row.
The car performed an automatic update last night. Driving it today, the car automatically shut down multiple times on a busy street. My life was in danger multiple times. There is no solution and this is negligence.
After an over the air update the vehicle now goes into limp mode and forces me to put the vehicle in park. The vehicle now has a check engine light. Also some of the functions like regenerative braking and power steering shut them selves off
