I am reporting repeated safety-related failures involving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sahara 4x4, VIN 1C4JJXP62PW524360. The vehicle has experienced recurring failures involving the high-voltage battery, hybrid charging/propulsion system, electric coolant heater, and battery thermal-management system. On 7/17/2025, at about 60,291 miles, the vehicle displayed a check-engine light and “Service Charging System” warning. While stopping, the vehicle shut off and would not restart without assistance. A/C stopped working and EV operation was unavailable. The dealer performed FCA 95B high-voltage-battery recall/software work. The problem returned. From 8/8/2025 to 9/12/2025, at 61,447 miles, the dealer diagnosed DTC P0B24, “Hybrid/EV Battery ‘A’ Voltage Unstable,” and documented an internal high-voltage-battery failure causing intermittent no-start conditions. The complete HV battery was replaced. The vehicle was out of service about 35 days. On 10/8/2025, electric mode again became unavailable/intermittent. The dealer diagnosed P0E15-00 and replaced the electric coolant heater. From 10/13/2025 to 10/17/2025, the check-engine light returned after charging; the dealer repaired a coolant-bypass/air-lock condition in the hybrid cooling system. From 6/30/2026 to 8/7/2026, at 80,222 miles, the vehicle returned for “Service Hybrid System” and EV-charging concerns. FCA 68C PHEV HV Battery Fires recall work was performed, and the electric coolant heater was again diagnosed as failed and replaced. The vehicle was out of service about 38 days. On 9/9/2026, Driver’s Village advised that the high-voltage battery requires complete replacement again. This would be the vehicle’s second complete HV-battery replacement. These major hybrid-related repair episodes total at least about 77 documented days out of service. My primary safety concerns are shutdown/no-start, repeated charging/hybrid-system warnings, failure of the original HV battery, continued failures after recall remedies,

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.

For the 4th time the motor seems to die while driving down the road with no warning. Charging warnings pop up and the car does not start. Has been to dealership multiple times and never gets fixed. Chrysler told to me sue them. I don’t have the money to sue them and the cars is in drivable. Been in the dealership many times with me being left without a car for months. They won’t take it back and I still have 6 months of payments.

2022 Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. The hybrid high-voltage system failed the first time it was used, in April 2026 at about 35,000 miles. I had not charged or used hybrid mode before that because of the manufacturer's high-voltage battery fire-risk recall guidance (recalls 23V‑787, 24V‑720, 25V‑741) not to charge and to park away from structures. The check engine light came on at first use and has not stayed off except when cleared by the dealer. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Jeep dealer for the same hybrid high-voltage system concern on 4/19/2026, 6/17/2026 and 7/5/2026 without a fix. On 8/4/2026 the vehicle would not start at all and had to be towed. It stayed at the dealer 29 days (8/6 to 9/4/2026). The dealer replaced the main battery and found DTC P0E15-00 (electric coolant heater performance) with the high-voltage coolant heater in a 'locked permanent' unrecoverable state, and replaced the HV heater. The three earlier visits never identified this high-voltage thermal-management failure. Safety risk: a sudden no-start / loss of propulsion, and a failed cooling component in the high-voltage system of a vehicle population already under repeated battery thermal-runaway / fire recalls, where the manufacturer has acknowledged fires in vehicles that had received earlier remedies. The failures were confirmed and documented by the dealer on repair orders. The manufacturer (Stellantis) has been notified in writing and has declined to repurchase the vehicle. Repair orders are available on request.

I purchased my Jeep Wrangler 4xe on Sept. 27, 2025 thinking all battery issues were addressed by the manufacturer. Then a month later the 68C hybrid battery recall is issued. My hybrid battery passed the 68C recall on Dec. 22 at the dealership. Ensuing 78C and 21D recalls meant I couldn't park in my garage and charge my vehicle for weeks at a time. My electric motor would not start on Aug. 11. Check engine light on, electric mode unavailable and AC not working. Then the vehicle forced itself into park while reversing to be towed to the dealer and died in the street. These vehicles are dangerous because there is no warning when they stop working. They just stop - sometimes in traffic or the middle of the street. With 68C, we were led to believe that only some batteries would have issues and that the installed software would monitor battery health. What we began to see was the batteries were structurally deficient and ALL batteries would fail at some point. The software was designed to shut the vehicle down if it detected a fault. Post 68C recall, many owners experienced a decrease in the performance of their Jeeps as the internal computer sought to balance battery load. This meant we weren't getting the MPG advertised and promised. We also received a warranty extension of unlimited miles and unlimited years. BUT, the fine print says the battery will be replaced ONLY if the value of the vehicle is more than the cost to replace the battery. My jeep has lost $14,000 in value in less than a year while I put less than 10,000 miles on it. The dealer has had my vehicle for a month and confirmed the hybrid battery is the problem. They have ordered a new one, but the new ones have the same defect. Owners are also seeing additional electrical faults after a hybrid battery replacement.

After dealer recall 21D inspection on 7/30/2026 I have experienced 2 electrical failures in the recall system, and/or systems associated with recall. The first incident on 7/31/2026 at approximately 9:00 PM my wife, 2 kids, and a neighbors kid were at a stop light for a 4 lane road when the Jeep unexpectedly made a popping sound and shut down. When I arrived I pushed the vehicle into a parking lot and attempted to restart. I was able to restart the vehicle but instantly started seeing multiple warnings including Service Power Steering (code associated with the recall), Throttle body warning, and Warning that the vehicle would shutdown for safety. After the vehicle shutdown the electrical system went crazy (gauge cluster lights flashing, windshield wipers turned off and on, relays clicking). I had the vehicle taken to my mechanic on 8/6/2026 where they determined that the AUX battery was bad (previously replaced in 05/2026) AND the main fuse array fuse N3 was blown. The mechanic replaced both components, tested the vehicle, and rechecked for any new error codes. On 8/11/2026 my wife and 2 kids attempted to leave soccer practice and the Jeep would not start. I brought them home and returned to the Jeep. As it was near closing time for most auto parts retailers I decided to start by having the main battery tested. When I opened the hood to remove the battery I noticed that the engine compartment seemed abnormally hot. I removed the battery and had it tested by AutoZone (failed-only 6 CCA). I purchased a new battery and when I installed I still noticed an abnormally high temperature in the engine compartment. After installing the new battery the Jeep started & instantly displayed a power steering warning. I shut the vehicle down and let it rest approximately 30min. When restarted a low voltage warning displayed immediately. I returned the next day to a dead Jeep. I returned the Jeep to the dealership that inspected for 21D. (Aux batt. bad & main fuse array blown AGAIN)

On 7/25/2026, the vehicle set DTC P1128 (Closed Loop Fueling Not Achieved, Bank 1) with a steady check engine light and no drivability symptoms. I cleared the code with an OBD2 scanner. My wife had driven the vehicle to a local store and back earlier with no issues. Shortly afterward, with the vehicle loaded for a trip, she applied the brakes at the end of our driveway and the vehicle did not come to a complete stop. She described the pedal response as delayed. She proceeded onto our residential street at low speed and applied the brakes again. The brakes did not function properly. The pedal traveled to the floor with minimal braking effect and the vehicle came to a rolling stop rather than a controlled stop. She pulled to the side of the street and cycled the ignition off and on. She then drove approximately 10 to 20 feet and applied the brakes again with the same result: pedal to the floor, rolling stop only. Steering effort was normal throughout. We judged the vehicle unsafe to drive and cancelled the trip. It has not been driven since. Within 10 hours of the braking failure, the vehicle experienced a complete electrical failure. The key fob would not unlock the doors and I had to use the physical key. With the brake pedal depressed and the start button pressed, the instrument cluster illuminated for less than one second and then shut off, repeating. The vehicle would not start and remains disabled. No crash, no fire, no injury. The vehicle has open safety recall 21D (the federal safety agency 26V‑363) listed as incomplete. All other recalls were completed at dealer service in May 2026. Current mileage is ~62,000.

My 2024 Wrangler 4xe has 27,000 miles on it. On Friday, 7/10/2026 around 7:00 in the morning the check engine light came on. I immediately called the dealer to set up an appointment and they could not get me in until 7/15/2026. At about 9:30am that day when I was pulling a small trailer the battery light also came as I was driving on the interstate. As soon as I exited and slowed down, the car lost all power. It would not start or move. I was stranded on the exit ramp in the turn lane, with a trailer, unable to get to the shoulder. There was quite a bit of traffic around me. I was able to have it towed to the dealer. I had to safely get out of the vehicle and direct traffic around the vehicle. Today, 7/15/2026, the dealer ran the diagnostics and determined that the hybrid battery has failed and needs to be replaced. The car currently has 27,000 miles on it and this is now the second hybrid battery replacement and the third time the Jeep has stranded me and has required a tow to the dealer. It is unreliable and unsafe as it becomes immobile and loses power on the roadway.
