ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
12-3 Called Chrysler regarding recalls, vehicle was in shop in July for the charging system being warm to touch, not charging vehicle. Vehicle currently makes a “gurgling” sound while idling. Engine running “loud”. Requested to have the vehicle turned back into leasing company due to it being a lemon considering there is no fix for the recall and it is not safe to drive or house. Told case would be sent to resolution team, takes 7 days. 12/10 called and was told it was in resolution and would be 48-72 hours called again 12/18 and told it would be 12/22. Basically no one is doing anything.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My jeep seized in the middle of an intersection while I was doing approximately 30 mph, the jeep immediately flung to a complete stop from 30 to 0 and caught fire. The dealership had it over a week and told me the modular blew randomly. This happened in May and I purchased it in April. Since there is many recalls with no remedy, I am scared every time I am on the highway doing around 65mph because if it happened at that speed I am sure we would not survive. I have spoken to the dealer regarding all of these dangerous recalls and issues with no remedy and they referred me to the leasing company. I asked them to take the lease back because I do not think I should have to pay for a car that is not sellable or able to be fixed and they denied taking the lease back. My Wife and I both have the same issue with our Jeeps with no solution provided. I feel this needs to be addressed for the safety of families that are now stuck paying for undrivable vehicles that could be a potential bomb or accident that takes human lives at any given moment. I feel the manufacturer should buy back leases that are unsafe as it should void the lease contract. I know I did not sign up to drive a hazard on the roads or the ability to park in my garage or near my home.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Recall 68c recommends against charging, therefore impacting our fuel consumption negatively. This therefore is costing additional money to use this transportation. Also, it is nearly impossible to follow the recall guidelines for keeping away from structures and other vehicles. Some properties refuse this vehicle from being on their property.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Dash cluster will go blank upon starting. This has happened every few weeks since I bought it in Nov 2019. Reported to local dealership in ealry 2020, but when you turn off Jeep, the next time it restarts, everything looks fine and they could not reproduce the problem at the dealership and had no answers as they had not seen it before, as no codes were being given. I never went back since i was told they had no answers. When it happens, you are driving blind-No digital speedometer, warning lights or gas gauge when it happens. Now the most recent issue, the security system light comes on randomly upon starting. Also have to push start button more than once to get it to actually start, so this could be different issues. A recall for the cluster finally came out last year i think, but my Jeep was not on the recall list even though it DOES have the problem and has had it for years. Would love some help or guidance!

POWER TRAIN
Subject: Safety Complaint – 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Unexpectedly Shifted Into PARK While in Traffic Vehicle: 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Mileage at Time of Incident: 1300 Date of Incident: [XXX] Location: Ohio I am submitting this complaint to formally report a serious and dangerous safety defect involving my 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. While approaching a red traffic light at normal driving speed, the vehicle suddenly and without any warning shifted itself into PARK. I did not press the park button, and no alerts or warnings were displayed prior to the event. The vehicle abruptly decelerated, leaving me momentarily without power in active traffic. I had to quickly react, restart, and shift back into gear. This incident was completely unexpected, and placed me and others at immediate risk of a rear-end collision. This behavior is unacceptable in a modern vehicle and represents a clear safety hazard, particularly in traffic conditions where sudden loss of propulsion can result in serious injury or death. There were no dashboard warnings, messages, or indications that the vehicle was about to enter PARK. The vehicle was functioning normally immediately before the incident. I am requesting: 1.A full investigation into this incident 2.Written documentation of any known defects, recalls, or software issues related to unintended gear shifts in the Wrangler 4xe 3.A permanent fix, not a temporary reset or software update without explanation 4.Documentation placed in my vehicle service record acknowledging this safety issue I am also submitting this complaint to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) due to the severity of the safety risk. This incident has caused me to lose confidence in the safety and reliability of this vehicle, and I expect this matter to be treated with urgency. The vehicle is currently in the shop for the past 4 days with no call explaining what the problem is. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
A 2nd recall has been issued for the Hybrid Battery system and once again Jeep has no remedy available. My safety is at risk to due to the possibility of a car fire. I am also unable to use the car as intended due to safety concerns. Jeep needs to be held accountable for selling a very expensive vehicle that not only does not work properly but could catch on fire. It is unacceptable for owners to be left in limbo due to the negligence shown by Jeep. If they cannot sell a car that operates safely then they should be made to reimburse the owners.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
After pressing the start/stop button to start the vehicle, it immediately began making a loud and unusual noise. Recognizing that this was not a normal sound, I pressed the start/stop button again in an attempt to turn the vehicle off. However, the vehicle did not disengage and would not shut off as expected. The noise continued and became louder, and smoke began coming from the sides of the vehicle and from underneath. When the hood was opened, there was very thick white smoke coming from the engine compartment along with a strong burning smell. The smoke was too thick to determine whether there were any visible flames. After a short period of time, the engine finally disengaged on its own, but the smoke continued for a period of time after the vehicle shut off. The exact cause of the shutdown is unknown. We did not attempt to restart the vehicle. After the incident, there was visible melted plastic material and residue on the concrete beneath the vehicle, consistent with something overheating or melting in the engine compartment. The vehicle was not driven after this incident and was towed to the nearest dealership for inspection, where it remains pending further evaluation.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My vehicle is affected by multiple safety recalls related to the high-voltage battery / charging system. The recall instructions include safety restrictions such as not parking near structures/buildings and limiting/avoiding charging (or following specific charging precautions) due to a potential safety hazard (including fire risk). Despite these warnings, there is no available remedy/repair at this time, and an authorized dealer has confirmed the recalls apply but cannot complete the recall repairs. Separately (and repeatedly), while driving the vehicle has displayed a “STOP SAFELY / PULL OVER” warning message multiple times. Each time this occurs I must pull over immediately due to concern for a sudden loss of propulsion or unsafe operation in traffic. This creates a significant safety risk to me and others because it can occur unexpectedly and could lead to a crash, loss of power, or being stranded in an unsafe location. The condition has been reproduced multiple times. The vehicle is available for inspection. The exact root cause is UNKNOWN at this time, and I have not received a permanent fix.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Multiple times when driving, at interstate speeds and highway speeds I have a full loss of power, requiring me to pull to the side of the road and power off the car and power it back on. Turtle mode gets activated not allowing me to go more than 5mph. Not safe at all especially when children are in the car. I have had the dealer look at this multiple times and they continue to say they have updated the system. I cannot imagine a software update will fix the vehicle intermittently losing power. I am a Jeep brand enthusiast but Stellantis missed the boat on this car. They have created an unsafe, unreliable vehicle that is putting my family at risk every time I drive it. Last night I was offered $100 because the EV component shouldn’t be used now, I can’t park it inside, and can’t charge it. It really is almost bait and switch that I bought a vehicle that is not able to be used in the manner it was sold to me for.

AIR BAGS
I recently got into an accident in my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. My airbags never deployed however. Also my buttons on the left side of my steering wheel do not work and my horn does not work. After realizing all this I believe it is an issue with the clock spring. I did research and found in 2024 there was a recall for the clock spring but only in the RHD model. My car is a LHD model but it seems the same issue has occurred and my clock spring failed.

ENGINE
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Multiple failed recalls to stop vehicle High Voltage battery fires. I've already had the battery pack replaced once and now another recall of a software flash (68c) to test the battery cells separators for damage. So again the issue is still there and this is just another band-aid to catch it before it catches fire. This has been a ongoing issue for over a year and the issue is still not properly corrected. Multiple months of no charging, no parking in garage or near other vehicles/structures just to have another band-aid of a software flash, to stop the fire before it starts doesn't make me feel safe enough to put my family in this vehicle or to still want to charge or park anywhere near other vehicles or structures. This is the same process that "fixed" this issue the last time that obviously isn't a fix at all. The new battery they installed in 07/22/25 is just more of the same junk batteries without a proper fix.
