ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
Loss of motive power. During normal operation, the vehicle suddenly loses a drive power and prompts user to shift into park and push the break before ignition. To reset, I had to stop the vehicle, shift into park and restart. This behavior repeated 4-5 times in an 2 mile trip. The dangerously degraded performance described above was preceded by an OTA software update on 10/11/2025.

The car updated with the latest uConnect on Friday night. The next morning car drove fine for about .5 miles, the drive gear selector on the screen started to flash with no power to the car. The car had stopped accelerating in heavy traffic with no where to pull over on the side of the road. Performed same issues 3 times, after the third time the car went into limp mode. Had to be towed to dealer, it is currently in service on limp mode with no next steps

11-Oct-2025 - Made it about 1/2 Mile on eSave mode @ about 5-6pm. Engine shut down and lost all power going approximately 40mph of Dr. Braley Road in Freetown. Controlled vehicle until it stopper at the stop sign at the corner of Roundsville road and put the car in park and restarted the engine. With eSave mode made it about 1/4 of a mile back towards home before it started again and had to repeat the process of stopping putting the car in park and restarting. Used electric mode to get home. 12-Oct-2025 - Attempted again on Sunday and got about 1/4 of a mile before the problem happened again. Service Electronic Stability Control message popped up this time along with e-Save Mode Temporarily Unavailable, followed by Electric Mode Temporarily Unavailable. Limped home again as the car would not go over 15 MPH with it floored.

This morning my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe check engine light came on and had a loss of power. I had to pull over onto a highway to restart the vehicle. The dealership stated that there was an over the air update that was faulty and that they had no way to fix it, but they stated to bring it into the dealership service department even though vehicle is currently not drivable or unsafe to operate.

When driving at full speed vehicle shuts off and says to put into park. You cannot accelerate. Warning lights come on saying Antilock system failure, Hybrid system issues along with many other lights. You can be going 70 and it just turns off. We were driving from Sandusky Ohio home to Indiana and this happened. Our safety was put at risk fue to being on highways and out of nowhere our vehicle would lose acceleration and you would have to pull over and restart the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I performed a software update on my 2024 Jeep Wrangler as prompted by the Uconnect system. Immediately after performing that update the next time I turned the car on the engine completely shut off, and the dashboard blinked shift to park and then drive. The engine continued intermittently, completely shutting off while driving. It became clear after an online search that this was a common issue happening to Jeep Wrangler users who had performed this software update. This was terrifying. Supposedly there is a fix in the form of a new software update, being pushed out, but I have not been able to power cycle. The vehicle into performing that software update to fix the car.

I was driving down the street and my car turned off in the middle of the road with an electrical stability control failure and brought me to a stop in the middle of the road of busy traffic. I turned the car off and back on, and it was able to get me to a parking lot before shutting off again. From there, I had to get it towed to the dealership out of concern for my safety. Looking into the issue online, looks like a software update I had installed the night before caused the failure and resulted in my car shutting off. This is a major safety concern for me.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
In early October 2025 (specifically around October 10), Jeep/Stellantis pushed an over-the-air (OTA) software update via Uconnect to 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe models. This update, intended for system improvements or recalls (e.g., related to hybrid battery management or telematics), instead caused widespread failures in the vehicle's computer systems, particularly the telematics control module (TCM) and powertrain control module (PCM). After the update I experienced the following. - Sudden loss of motive power while driving (e.g., the vehicle shutting off mid-drive, refusing to accelerate, or entering limp mode). - Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination. - Inability to shift gears or recognize transmission states, rendering the vehicle undrivable. - Vehicle stalling multiple times in short distances, leading to to the need for a tow. In my instance I was on a two lane road with no shoulder and no way to drive my vehicle. I was able to move to a parking lot and wait for a tow.

On 10/11/25 I was driving and the vehicle cut off. Most lights on the dash lit up and message in the screen by the odometer said stop vehicle and put it in park. I did, waited a few minutes and it started up, but the engine light remained on. Third time I got going and home which was a few miles. Next morning g engine light still on. Followed some advice from a jeep forum and did a soft reset and then shut it off and turned it back on and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. The engine light went off when I restarted and remained off for the balance of Sunday 10/12/25. Not sure of any damage this might have done and am I fixed?

A serious safety issue that occurred earlier today. While driving with my family on the highway, my 2024 Wrangler 4xe suddenly shut down completely without warning. I was fortunate to pull over safely, but it could have resulted in a serious accident. A complete shutdown with no warning is extremely dangerous and there was no recall.

After jeep released an OTA update on Friday, I started my vehicle on Saturday and started to drive and in about 2-3 minutes all lights on dash started flashing and lost all power to vehicle and was luck enough to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle message said place car in park. Had to turn vehicle off then could shift into park. Then restarted now CEL is on but vehicle started and again 2 min later same problem no power had to coast to side of road, shut vehicle down and restart. This happen a several times one time I also lost power steering. I was just lucky enough to be on side roads and not the highway. The vehicle totally loses all propulsion and you have zero power to the vehicle and also lost power steering

I have a hybrid jeep 4xe, 2023. Allegedly unaffected by the software issue over the weekend that caused countless issues for 2024 and 2025 jeeps. My 2023 jeep wrangler 4xe stopped suddenly while driving. Unfortunately, I panicked in the moment, so I do not remember if it completely powered off or if it just lost propulsion, but it stopped. I had to turn the car off and then back on to get it to go the next day. My check engine light came on for about 24 hours and went off again.

After an update on 10/10/2025 when arriving home, the next morning 10/11/2025 while driving the check engine light came on and I lost all power less than a mile from home. I turned off the jeep, turned it back on and proceeded to try and drive to the next drive way to turn around and go home. In under a half mile, I lost power again (at 55mph). Got it restarted and turned into the drive way to turn around. When turning left out of the driveway, I lost power a third time and my jeep would not restart. I was across two lanes of traffic and we needed to push the jeep back into the driveway, but the auto brake kept engaging. Had Jeep towed to a dealership.

Vehicle received a UConnect update on 10/10/25. The next morning the vehicle was only able to drive 2-3 blocks before the engine lost power, check engine light turned on, and the board directed me to shift the car into park and start the car. I was able to restart the car and it did the exact same thing within 200-300 feet. I was able to get the car to the dealership so they can look into how to resolve. There are a lot of postings online with others experiencing the same thing (some losing power when they were driving down the highway). All appear to be related to the UConnect update. Don’t feel safe driving the car not knowing when it will lose power again.

I went for a short drive yesterday and my jeep stalled twice (once on my way to the store, and then again on the way home). It completely stopped working both times and I had to put it in Park and then back to Drive. I would get a warning message telling me to "Shift to P and then Shift to Gear". The check engine light is now on. I am afraid to drive it now. What if I am on the highway and it stalls? I am taking it to the dealership for inspection tomorrow, hopefully I can get there safely. I picked up a rental car to drive in the meantime.
