Car stoped while driving and power was out forced to turn on engine again then able to drive. It happened 7-8 times in 5miles. Had to stopped and started again and again to get my place.
2024 Jeep Wrangler engine complaints
Page 7 of 15: complaints 161 to 190 of 420, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine jerks upon acceleration on battery power, feels like a heavy lurch when driving a manual car. It would then refuse to accelerate for a few seconds before being able to drive normally. Attempted to get service at local Jeep dealership who refuses all service on the basis of the current recalls and the Jeep 4xe being a fire hazard while parked. Attempted to resolve this with Jeep directly who promised a buyback of the vehicle because of the 2 open safety recalls being huge safety issues, which they are now refusing.
I am the owner of a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X 4xe (JL PHEV). The vehicle is subject to safety recall 25V‑741 (manufacturer recall 68C) for high‑voltage battery fire risk, and also recall 78C affecting the 2.0L engine. For recall 68C, Jeep and the federal safety agency instruct owners not to charge the vehicle and to park it outside and away from structures and other vehicles because the high‑voltage battery could fail internally and start a fire, even when parked. This means I cannot safely park in my garage or charge at home. I have a [XXX] infant in the home, so any increased fire risk near the residence is especially concerning. Jeep has not yet provided a final remedy or a clear timeline for a fix for 68C, so this situation is indefinite. In practice, the vehicle now operates as a less‑efficient gas‑only vehicle, with reduced usable range, higher fuel costs, and loss of the plug‑in electric function I paid for. I am also instructed to leave a potentially defective high‑voltage battery pack on my property and outdoors, which feels unsafe for my family. In addition, recall 78C raises concerns about potential engine defects and possible fire risk or major engine damage, further impacting the safety and reliability of this vehicle. My dealer and the manufacturer have confirmed the recalls but so far have not provided a loaner, buy‑back, or other adequate remedy, despite the “park outside / do not charge” safety instructions and the presence of an infant in the home. I am requesting that the federal safety agency closely review these recalls, the lack of an available remedy, and the real‑world safety and hardship impact on owners who cannot safely park or charge their vehicles as originally intended. On top of this, I put about $10,000 down on the lease expecting to purchase the vehicle as a long‑term PHEV. That down payment now feels like a sunk cost into a product that cannot be safely used as advertised, and the situation is starting to resemble a potential lemon‑law case.

I leased a new 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara from Gengras CJDR in Fairfield, CT. I received two catastrophic recall notices from Jeep on Nov. 24th, 2025 and was notified of a third catastrophic recall when speaking to Jeep Customer Care on Nov. 25th, 2025. The first recall notice, # 68C/agency25V-741, pertains to the car's high voltage battery. The HV battery in my vehicle "may become damaged during normal vehicle operation, which could lead to a vehicle fire. A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle. Vehicle risk is reduced when the battery charge level is depleted. Accordingly, owners are advised to refrain from charging. Out of an abundance of caution, FCA US is also advising owners of these vehicles to park away from structures or other vehicles until the remedy is obtained". FCA US has NO REMEDY at this time. The second recall notice, #A7C/agency25V-710, pertains to the vehicle's HCP randomly resetting, which causes a loss of engine power, regardless of vehicle speed. The vehicle has been updated with "Firmware Over-the-Air" software which may cause incomplete communication between the Telematics Box Module (TBM) and the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP), this condition may cause the HCP to perform a reset. An hcp which resets while driving may cause a loss of drive power which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. FCA US has NO REMEDY at this time. I was advised of the third recall notice when I spoke to Carl, of Jeep Customer Care, on November 25th, 2025. I was assigned case #XXX. I was told the third recall involves remnants of sand and finishing debris of the engine block was found to cause the engine cylinders to seize, causing a loss of drive power and possibly a crash as well. FCA US has NO REMEDY for this recall either. My car is a DEATH TRAP! How can Jeep continue to sell a car like this and not face a class action lawsuit? I refuse to drive the car.

This is a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. It currently has 22,700 miles on it. These issues began prior to 20,000 miles. The car stops driving with out warning. This has occurred on three occasions, while driving in traffic. It locks up, but power is still working. A message pops up that says put the vehicle in Drive...which it already is. It comes to an abrupt stop. It will not regain power. You have to power on and off multiple times to get it to start. Recently it failed to start (engine). Again, had full power, but the engine would not start. It also will not charge fully to 100%. The display screen will bling or go black, with no power. The steering wheel will shake uncontrollably while driving over 65-70 MPH. These issues began in summer 2025. One incident was in Sept. Oct, Nov, and Dec 13 was the last.
Vehicle was being driven 55 mph on a two lane highway when it became completely immobile with every light including check engine light lit. A red turtle also appeared on the screen to indicate limp mode and vehicle wouldn’t go over 5 mph and eventually became completely disabled. The dealership attributed the issue to a 12V battery which is dangerous because an accident could easily have happen with the sudden loss of power. With the 68C and 78C major recalls the 4XEs should be a mandatory buyback. They are an overly dangerous vehicle that fit a lemon perfectly. Stellantis obviously have no idea how to fix the dangerous fire issue with 68C. They have tried 3 times and failed. What makes this any different? When is the federal safety agency actually going to step in and force them? Now 78C and an engine replacement due to fires . The dealerships and Jeep have no idea. They said it could be years. The are failing to act in a timely manner.
If the jeep is not sagged to park in a garage, how can it be safe to drive on the road? The recalls are not being taken care of soon enough!
My 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe has multiple major safety defects involving fire risk, loss of propulsion, and engine failure. The vehicle has been subject to four significant recalls, including: * the federal safety agency 24V720000 (Recall 95B): High-voltage battery may fail internally and cause a fire while parked or driving. Owners are instructed to park outside away from structures and to avoid charging. * the federal safety agency 25V766000 (Recall 78C): Debris inside the engine may cause engine failure, loss of drive power, and engine compartment fire. * the federal safety agency 25V710000 (Recall A7C): OTA software error may cause sudden loss of drive power while operating the vehicle. These recall remedies are not yet available. The vehicle has become unsafe for normal use and puts my family at risk. I pursued a lemon law claim previously due to early severe issues, including charging/fire hazards, but the problems continue and are worsening. I am unable to safely drive, park, or charge the vehicle as designed. I am requesting the federal safety agency review due to the ongoing risks of fire, propulsion loss, and the lack of available repairs.
I was told I can’t charge the vehicle and not to park in my driveway or garage or near trees as it might catch fire or also suddenly turn off while driving
Jeep Wrangler 4-door Rubicon 4XE stalled/suffered complete loss of power while driving down the road. It took 3 shutdown/restarts to move the vehicle to a safe location. Since then, Jeep has issued 3 URGENT unrepaired recalls. Oct 17: the federal safety agency 25V‑710 (drive train/loss of power - remedy not yet available), Oct 30: 25V‑741 (flawed battery pack that may cause vehicle fire putting life and property at risk - remedy not yet available), and Nov 6: 25V‑766 (engine potentially contaminated by sand casting potentially resulting in engine failure or unexpected loss of propulsion - remedy not available) As such, I have been deprived of a safe/reliable vehicle for 2 months.
There are 3 recalls on the 2024 Jeep Wranglers 4XE. They include a fire risk. We are not supposed to charge our vehicles and not park them near structures. This defeats the entire purpose of getting a electric vehicle. This car can not function for the reason it is purchased. Not being able to park in a garage as well? This is crazy! According to your website and Jeep, it has been 2 months since the first recall and there is no remedy available. I'm not sure what we are exepted to deem a "reasonable" amount of time for a remedy, but two months of nothing is plenty long in my book. Plus, when there is a remedy it will take time to book appointments then taking time off work to get this fixed. There are been many recalls concerning the jeep batteries on past models. Shouldn't this have been taken care of before the sold more? Another issue is resale value. How will I be able to get full value of my car's worth with recalls and worries of future ones?
October 2024. While driving in city traffic, the vehicle suddenly lost propulsion. The car did not power off completely but weakened severely, making it difficult to continue driving. After approximately half a mile, propulsion recovered and the vehicle returned to normal operation. This incident occurred only once and has not repeated since.
The vehicle is affected by two unresolved safety recalls involving a high-voltage battery fire risk and potential engine contamination that may cause sudden loss of propulsion or catastrophic engine failure. The manufacturer has instructed owners not to charge the vehicle and to park it away from structures or other vehicles due to the fire hazard. No repair or remedy is currently available for either recall, and the vehicle remains in this unsafe condition. In addition to the recall issues, the vehicle has an ongoing electrical malfunction involving the infotainment display and backup camera. During normal driving, the screen frequently turns bright green, emits a loud screeching noise, and cannot be muted or controlled. The screen and backup camera also freeze intermittently while reversing, creating visibility and distraction hazards. This issue has occurred repeatedly over the past year. The problems place the safety of the occupants and the public at risk. The inability to charge the vehicle, the possibility of sudden engine failure, and the risk of fire make the vehicle unsafe to operate or park near homes, workplaces, or other vehicles. The infotainment and camera failures also impair navigation and rear visibility. The problems have been reported to the dealer, who previously acknowledged the infotainment issue and indicated the system would be replaced, but no repair was completed. Recent attempts to obtain service or a loaner vehicle have been unsuccessful. The dealer has confirmed that no remedy is available for the safety recalls. Warning symptoms include sudden screen discoloration, loud audio distortion, frozen rear-camera image, and intermittent loss of display functions. The recall-related safety hazards occur without warning. The issues have resulted in significant loss of use of the vehicle, and the manufacturer has not provided a timeline for repairs. The vehicle is available for inspection at any time.
First recall back in October the car would shut off while driving at any speed and the wheel would stop working. Now a new recalll the car would catch on fire parked / or driven because if the battery. I don’t wanna drive it I want a refund
UNKNOWN ; I believe that my Jeep Wrangler 4XE in connection with recall : A7C/the federal safety agency 25V‑710 created this safety hazard. Around the end of October / Beginning of November my Jeep performed a software update like it does from time to time and within a few days the vehicle shut off completely without any prior warning. I was driving to work, luckily on a side street going 20 miles an hour pulling away from a stop sign and the vehicle just straight up dies. Lights, engine, electronics, power steering, everything was unresponsive. I managed to pull off of the roadway and had to attempt multiple times to restart the vehicle. After a minute or so of being in park, it started right up and kept driving. A few days later after limited use of the vehicle, there was a software update again and I assumed it was for that and kept using the vehicle. This experience put my life in danger as well as others. Should circumstances of my travel been different and this would have occurred on a freeway, the outcome could have been tragic for myself and others on the roadway. This experience together with the other 2 severe safety recalls with no remedy, have led me to feel so uncomfortable even having the vehicle in my possession due to a recommendation from FCA, Mopar, and the NHSTA to (A. Not charge the vehicle to lower the chance of a tragic lithium ion battery fire that can occur during normal operation creating a hazard for all occupants including minor children, but also during the vehicle being parked. Leading to (B. A recommendation to not park the vehicle close to structures or other vehicles. Which in my situation is impossible at home and at work. And (C. The risk of the engine being contaminated with sand from the casting process which can lead to catastrophic engine failure, which can start a vehicle fire or cause an accident without prior warning. I will be dropping my Jeep off at a dealer until a fix is in play. No remedies available for either 3 major recalls.
Vehicle stops driving ; states to put in park and restart - recently happened while at airport picking up family ; called jeep, Stellanis, dealership - no help - active recall - requested buy back - crickets since. ; had happened as well in past - at dealership for 3 days - was told corrected. Still happening
Vehicle has had two battery failure recalls and one engine failure recall in the 18 months that I’ve owned it. I can’t park the car inside. I can’t charge it and now the engine may catch fire. Stellantis/Mopar has no remediation for either problem.
While driving on the highway my Jeep lost speed and power steering. All the warning lights flashed on and off while dinging. Dealership can't get a code to see what the problem is to fix correctly. Jeep has 2 dangerous recalls that could catch fire while driving or sitting. Both issues put my life at risk. Stellantis denied buy back.
Jeep has issues two safety recalls 68C and 78C . 78C says that engine can be stopped anytime during driving on highway. But they are not fixing it. Battery issue 68C is going on last four years. Where is the accountability? How can they sell a new vehicle in 2024 when they already knew that it had a defective battery ?
While I was en route to get a recall serviced my Vehicle powered off while I was driving, at a speed of 25mph, out of my neighborhood. The Dashboard instructed me to put the vehicle in park (P), press the brake and the start button to power on the engine. The check engine light remained on and the vehicle started driving real sluggish. I couldn’t get above 10mph. I pulled into a parking lot and sat called the Jeep service department where I was going to have it serviced. I informed them of the issue so they could look at it, if I made it to them. The warnings for the check engine light said service stability controls. I proceeded to drive very slowly with my hazards on and still on 10mph very ruggedly; then all of a sudden the vehicle started to pick up speed and the check engine light went off. I was able to get on the highway and safely make it to the Jeep service center where they checked my vehicle but could not find a problem.
Vehicle experienced a complete and sudden loss of power, propulsion, and steering control WHILE DRIVING. The vehicle instantly shut down in motion and we were unable to accelerate, control speed, or safely maneuver, steering wheel locked. This created an immediate and severe risk of collision for myself, my spouse, and my young child who was in the vehicle at the time. There are multiple open safety recalls on this vehicle (including electrical system/propulsion defects), but no repairs or remedies are available, and the manufacturer is refusing to provide towing, inspection, or safe transportation. I reported the total power loss to the manufacturer. Despite this being an extremely dangerous event consistent with the recall symptoms, I was repeatedly told the vehicle is “safe to drive in gas mode,” even though they did NOT inspect it, did NOT ask for diagnostic information, and did NOT offer any safety assessment. They refused to authorize towing, refused to authorize inspection, and told me to pay out of pocket for a rental despite the vehicle being unsafe and unusable. The dealership also stated they have no way to repair the recalls and provided no solution or timeline and refused a loaner vehicle. The vehicle cannot be safely driven the 40+ miles to the dealership due to the prior failure. This vehicle is unsafe to operate, has already experienced the failure described in the open recalls, and the manufacturer is not providing any remedy, inspection, transport, or safe alternative transportation. We paid over $100,000 for this vehicle and currently cannot use it at all. I am reporting this because the defect has already occurred and poses a serious safety hazard to us and other drivers. We need the federal safety agency involvement because the manufacturer is refusing to address or acknowledge the danger despite documentation of total power loss in motion. This incident occurred MULTIPLE TIMES; date is a vague approximate.
Three active recalls on this vehicle currently and have not had the vehicle a full calendar year yet. Two pertaining to fire-risk recall which can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside vehicle. The recall instructions state there is an issue with battery and engine which can cause fire. The recall instructions state to not charge the vehicle nor park in garage and to park it outside away from buildings due to risk of thermal runway. The engine may contact materials which can also cause fire. Because of this, the vehicle is not safe to drive. My dealership (Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey) as well as Jeep has refused to provide a loaner vehicle or transportation assistance free of charge. They informed me I must pay out of pocket for a rental while the recall remedy is being developed causing me to pay for 2 vehicles at the same. There is currently no remedy for this issue and no timeframe of when it will be available. Stellantis has not provided any support despite the safety hazard and the fact that I cannot safely use this vehicle. This leaves me without transportation during a federally mandated safety recall involving a fire risk. I am requesting the federal safety agency review this issue and contact the involved parties to ensure proper handling of the recall and consumer safety. Thank you,
I am filing a complaint with regards to the current recalls on the 2024 wrangler 4xe. My concerns are not only is this not a safe vehicle to be driving it is a lease, a lease that will devalue the car. Chrysler Jeep offered me a rental reimbursement which I can not afford due to the timeline they have given me. January for battery and “second quarter of next year” this could cost me over $7,200 (up to $60 a day with a wait time of 6 months to wait for a repair) along with my monthly lease payment and insurance I have to pay on car that I feel unsafe driving I can not afford to pay upfront for a rental. Not sure if this is a breach of contract on their end. To ask someone who needs car for work to drive a vehicle that could catch fire or loose power while driving is unacceptable. There is also an artilcle on wtol.com stating there is a DO NOT DRIVE issued for this particular model published 11/18/25 I want some sort of resolution asap. As of now I am not driving car. Was also told by Stellantis they would tow my car and give me a loaner. They disconnected my call never noted it in my file and when I called back they had no idea who told me that.
Vehicle: 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe My vehicle has two separate critical safety recalls with no remedy available: High-voltage battery fire risk (vehicle may catch fire even when parked; cannot charge; must park outside). Recall 68C for engine contamination with sand causing catastrophic engine failure, fire, and sudden loss of propulsion. Jeep states that repair parts are unavailable for both recalls. This makes the vehicle unsafe to drive, unsafe to charge, unsafe to park near structures, and unusable for transportation. I am requesting the federal safety agency intervention to compel Stellantis to provide a remedy or repurchase the unsafe vehicle.
My 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe is under two active safety recalls: Recall 68C (the federal safety agency 25V‑741) involving high voltage battery fire risk, and Recall 78C (the federal safety agency 25V766) unexpected and unrecoverable loss of propulsion which is also currently unresolved. Recall 68C instructs owners NOT to recharge the vehicle and to park it away from structures due to potential fire. No remedy exists for either recall. The vehicle is leased and cannot be used normally or safely. Stellantis has not provided a remedy, replacement, or loaner. I am requesting the federal safety agency review due to the severity of the defects, the lack of an available fix, and the significant safety impact to consumers.
.I am submitting this complaint regarding the handling of two safety recalls affecting my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door 4xe, which I learned about through my “November Vehicle Health Report” email on November 22, 2025. Since then, I have been in ongoing communication with Jeep, Chrysler Customer Care, and Mopar; however, they have not provided sufficient guidance. 1) Recall 68C: The Vehicle Health Report included a link to the FCA recall notice advising owners to “refrain from recharging” and to “park away from structures and other vehicles.” Chrysler emailed on November 26 offering a 30-day rental reimbursement tied only to Recall 68C, but the amount does not cover an equivalent or safe winter-capable vehicle for our region. 2) Recall 78C: I have been unable to obtain clear information regarding Recall 78C. The Vehicle Health Report included minimal details and no link to the FCA documentation. I found the Part 573 Safety Recall Report (25V766) on the federal safety agency website while trying to determine if the vehicle was safe to drive. Chrysler Customer Care repeatedly avoids answering whether a “do not drive” advisory exists for 78C and continually redirects me to the 68C guidance. the federal safety agency representative I spoke with was also unsure why Chrysler did not select either advisory checkbox (Do Not Drive / Park Outside) on page 3 of the 78C report, leaving owners without essential guidance. 3) Impact on Safety and Daily Life: My household relies on a single vehicle. With no safety guidance for 78C and an engine warning light that appeared on October 3, 2025—along with electric mode not functioning that day, which required service at the Jeep dealership—we determined it was safest not to drive the vehicle. We have now been without transportation for seven days. We kindly ask the federal safety agency to help us (and other customers) secure clear 78C safety guidance and an equivalent transportation solution until the recall is resolved.
While driving, the vehicle lost complete power and there was no way to control movement. This event has occurred three times. Two of the events were while manuvering into parking, the third was while moving at speed approximately 40-50mph. There has been no warning lamp or warning of any kind before the occurance. This problem seems to be in relation to the A7C recall that currently has no remedy.
I am writing to formally raise a critical safety and contract breach complaint regarding my leased Jeep Wrangler EV, which is subject to recalls 68C and 78C. These recalls involve severe safety defects that pose an immediate risk of catastrophic battery fire (recall 68C) and dangerous engine failure with possible fire (recall 78C). Both defects create a clear and present danger to my personal safety, the safety of others, and property. Jeep has admitted in official communications that there is currently no available remedy to fix these life-threatening issues. The absence of a remedy means I am being forced to operate or keep a vehicle that is unsafe under the law and industry safety standards. This is not a simple inconvenience or minor defect but a fundamental vehicle safety failure. Additionally, I have been instructed not to use essential vehicle functions, such as charging the battery or parking indoors, in order to mitigate fire risk. This directive is wholly unacceptable and unreasonable. I leased this vehicle specifically for its electric and plug-in hybrid capabilities. Being told not to charge the vehicle or use it normally effectively denies me the primary functions of the car, violating the implied warranty of merchantability and my lease agreement. Continuing to require me to use an unsafe vehicle without a fix is a breach of contract and a violation of consumer rights and safety laws. Jeep and the leasing company are legally obligated to promptly provide a safe remedy or resolution which they are not able to do. Due to the severe and unremedied safety risks, I demand that the federal safety agency take immediate enforcement action requiring manufacturers and leasing companies to terminate affected leases and refund all payments to owners. Owners should not be forced to use or retain unsafe vehicles lacking any fix. Prompt regulatory intervention is imperative to protect public safety. Please help to hold jeep accountable and force termination and full refunds.
Recieved 2 recall notices in the mail. Recall 78C and 68C. Recall 78C safety risk : "A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle, as well as property damage. A loss of propulsion may result in a vehicle crash without prior warning". There is still no remedy for this as per my call with the dealer on 11/25/25. Recall 68C safety risk: "A vehicle fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle. Vehicle risk is reduced when the battery charge level is depleted. Accordingly, owners are advised to refrain from recharging. Out of an abundance of caution, FCA US is also advising owners of these vehicles to park away from structures or other vehicles until the remedy is obtained." No parts available for remedy as per my call with the dealer on 11/25/25 Both of these recalls pose a risk to my wife and children that utilize the vehicle.
I'm worried about my safety, with the risk of my car catching fire, there's a problem in the electric motor and battery, potentially two units that can catch fire and harm me, just as I can't fully use the car due to restrictions and lack of a solution from the manufacturer, just as it happened on older models, I'm not sure that this time they really find it.
