2024 Jeep Wrangler transmission problems

Filed Nov 6, 2026 · Transmission · PA

I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Plug in Hybrid Summit Trim Level. I currentl yhave approx 35k miles on vehicle. There has been a significant safety recall out on my vehicle since XXX. The recall code is A7C and it indicates that a software update over the airways could cause a restart of the system resulting in POWER LOSS. I've checked with the jeep dealer multiple times over the past year for the fix and they have no update. I just called jeep customer care and they have no update and are not offering any sort of remedy. Can you please help us? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Since approximately 2,000 miles, the vehicle has experienced repeated hard shifting and jerking, especially when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership four times for repairs, but the problem continues. The dealership replaced the ECM/computer, performed transmission service, and worked on electrical issues. Despite these repairs, the problem continues. I am concerned about the safety and reliability of my vehicle. I request that the federal safety agency investigate this recurring transmission problem.

I was driving on highway and the jeep shutdown completely with zero warning and locked up. No lights came on, no warnings in the app, zero indications. I almost hit a car head on trying to get it off the road and into parking area which it didn't make. The jeep turned completely off, power steering locked up, and it was like a light switch had been flipped with no prior warnings. Luckily, this happened at relatively lower speeds, but it shouldn't have happened at all. 2 weeks ago it was released from jeep dealership service department due to this issue happening before with my husband driving but it went off while stopped at a red light. This time the vehicle was moving when it went out. They replaced both batteries and fuse array / fuse box. They stated the batteries were bad. Obviously it is not the batteries or fuse arrays since both are only 2 weeks old. Therefore there is something serious going on with this vehicle and no vehicle with less than 38,000 should have major mechanical oe electrical failure. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle in current state and if this continues without jeep being held responsible for doing something about it someone is going to get killed. It shouldn't take a death before the company is held responsible.

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.

Since getting the recalls done on my vehicle, I have experienced loss of power, acceleration & automatic dry engine start while in “electric mode”. This seems to happen when vehicle reaches a certain temp. I live in [XXX] so it is always hot! Example: I’ll be driving at highway speed or going up an incline and all of a sudden I will lose propulsion and eventually the engine will cold start even when I have plenty of battery % left! This is scary as this never happened before I had the recalls done! I have several concerns. First, there is a safety risk with loss of propulsion, also I have concern on future engine wear from cold starts at speed.

I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sport S that has experienced a significant and potentially dangerous reduction in propulsion power following the completion of Recall 68C (the federal safety agency Campaign 25V741000) by an authorized Jeep dealership. These problems began after the recall software update and were not present beforehand. Since the recall repair, the vehicle has substantially reduced electric-motor acceleration. While operating in Electric mode, pressing the accelerator can result in an increase of only approximately 1 MPH every 1–2 seconds, even with substantial accelerator input. The internal combustion engine (ICE) then engages prematurely at unusually high RPMs to compensate for the lack of electric propulsion. This results in delayed and inconsistent acceleration. Additionally, the vehicle struggles to accelerate beyond approximately 55 MPH while operating in Electric mode. When attempting to accelerate further, the vehicle eventually displays "Electric Mode Not Available" and disables Electric mode for the remainder of the drive. Before Recall 68C, the vehicle operated at highway speeds in Electric mode without these limitations. Despite these repeatable symptoms, the vehicle does not illuminate a check-engine light or produce observable diagnostic trouble codes. The electric propulsion and powertrain systems remain installed and available for inspection. The cause has not been independently confirmed. These conditions create a serious safety concern when merging onto highways, crossing intersections, or accelerating with surrounding traffic. The vehicle responds very slowly to accelerator input before abruptly engaging the gasoline engine at high RPMs. This unpredictable behavior creates a potential collision hazard. I request that the federal safety agency investigate whether the Recall 68C software update is contributing to reduced propulsion power, delayed acceleration, and unexpected Electric-mode deactivation in affected Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles.

I have a failed 68C Federal Recall Safety Remedy Recall. The jeep suffered a catastrophic high-voltage battery and powertrain failure while operating at highway speeds. The vehicle is unsafe to drive, charge, or park near structures due to Fire Risk. In December of 2025 at the Jeep's authorized dealership the battery passed corporate software diagnostics, and Stellantis assured me the vehicle was safe to operate. The recall remedy completely failed. On September 18, 2026 while driving at highway speeds in active traffic, the vehicle suffered a total loss of powertrain power and shut down completely, creating an imminent safety hazard for myself and others. The vehicle has been sitting at the dealership since then. There are also other active recalls on the vehicle that put myself and others in danger. Parking in a garage or near a structure are not permitted. It is also not safet to charge.

Our wrangler was taken in to get the 68C recall done and once we finally got the vehicle back the electric driving mode had significantly less power to the point where the vehicle showed it was limited to 43-45kw of power output to the electric motors which resulted in a top speed of about 67-70mph until it completely failed and said "electric mode temporarily unavailable" on the dash. It then stumbles and restarts after a brief pause thag causes the vehicle to slow down to 55-58mph and then the vehicle can accelerate again only on gasoline power. This problem is easily repeatable and seems to be directly tied to a major software update limiting power output of this vehicle compare to the original power numbers of when we purchased this vehicle.

After 68C recall completed, there is a noticeable reduced power and sudden engine (ICE) starts when it shouldn't be needed. It takes seconds for the vehicle to pickup speed when needed such as when merging lanes which causes a high risk for an accident due to this delay in response. This vehicle is not running as intended, it seems the threshold has been reduced on purpose which is not why I purchased this vehicle to begin with. I need this vehicle to operate as it once used to. Since there has not been a code produced dealer is not able to help. This is not a one off I know other consumers are running into the same situation something needs to be done to resolve the root cause of the problem and not mask it while changing the vehicles original specifications in terms of performance.

The Wrangler 4xe after the latest recall has had issues with power, switching from driving with all electric to driving with the engine running. Have had several instances of very laggy pedal response (even at highway speeds) which could cause a safety issue or accident.
