ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.

ENGINE
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.

ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, POWER TRAIN
The vehicle shuts itself off randomly after having installed an over the air update to the UConnect system. In a span of one hour my vehicle shut itself off without warning, while driving, eight times. This is apparently happening with several Wrangle 4Xe models nationwide. Per Jeep customer care, there are "hundreds of thousands of vehicles being affected" and for now owners are being instructed to take them to the dealership. Per the customer service rep, no communication is being sent out by Jeep to any customers or through local media as they are choosing to handle it internally.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Coming out of our driveway, the Jeep randomly flashed D at us and told us to put the car in park to restart. We thought that was weird as it was, but it only got worse from there. Well over 30 minutes later, while driving northbound I35 in the left lane, we experienced full power failure. We had to make it across three lanes of traffic in the midst of a busy highway with 18-wheelers all around using the only energy left over from our 70mph drive. Once we were on the side of the highway, we were finally able to get the Jeep on and moving again. At this point, the check engine light is on. We were just trying to make it to the next city so we could make a plan, and everything was fine for about 2 more miles. We got onto a bridge and the power failed again. Now, even though we opted to stay in the right lane out of fear for our safety, we have nowhere to go, no shoulder, just guard rail and whatever was below, and still have traffic all around us going at speed. We took the access roads where we could, but the car continued to lose power at a faster rate. Finally, at the Jeep Dealership in Hillsboro, the service team plugged the jeep in and said a code was thrown but they would not look at it until Monday.

Used 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4XE on 10/11/25 and stalled 8 times in 2 miles. had to come to complete stop put in park and restart . I circled back home and used my husbands car to run errand. I tried calling my Dealer and they were closed. My husband tried the Jeep the next day and engine light was on but jeep ran fine. I learned from a Jeep forum today that there was an update released on uconnect on Friday 10/10/25 and it affected lots of Jeep owners with the same symptoms . I did see the notification on Saturday and delayed it the 1st time and Jeep ran fine but the accepted it later and it happened after that. Thank God i was in my quiet neighborhood and returned the Jeep home safely that day. We will report this to our dealer on Monday when they open as this was scary and the engine light is still on.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving in town, this vehicle lost power 3 times in 2 blocks. I had to put it in park and restart it each time. It resembles the problem reported as being recalled on 2021-2023 Wranglers, this one is a 2024. I drive on the highway an hour to and from work and am very concerned this could cause a major accident resulting in injury and/or death.

Pulled vehicle out of the garage. Stopped with foot on the brake. Let off the brake to drive and the check engine light came on along with a red light on the gauge cluster with a red wrench. Warning came on the screen saying put vehicle in park and press the start stop button. Vehicle turned back on and the screen said no hybrid power available. Drove down my driveway and complete loss of power. Screen again said put vehicle back in park and press start stop button. Again the vehicle started and I returned to my driveway and parked the vehicle. Check engine light remained on when vehicle was on.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Jeep pushed an OTA Software Upgrade on 10/10/2025. The following morning 10/11/2025, while operating the vehicle. The vehicle lost all propulsion and power steering. Check Engine Light Came on and a message “Shift to P to Start” message appeared on the console. Additionally, the traction control system, collision avoidance alarms appeared on the console. Fortunately I was able to navigate the vehicle to the shoulder of the road without getting hit. However, I fear had my newly permitted teenage driver been operating the vehicle the outcome would have been much worse.

My Wrangler 4xe underwent a software update on 10/11 and since then has been stalling. It has been throwing error codes for a “stability control” issue. The car shuts off regardless of your speed, which is extremely dangerous. It left us stranded in the middle of the road several times in our 15 minute drive.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, ENGINE
After applying an OTA (over the air) update from Jeep on 10/11/25 at approximately 1pm EST, the vehicle would drive for about 100 yards and then lose all power. Check engine light came on and a message saying to put in park. This happened when I pulled out of a parking lot and was lucky enough to have enough momentum to get to the side of the road. Restarted the Jeep, drove another 100 yards in the shoulder and it happened again. Was able to get into a parking lot and had to get the Jeep towed to the dealership. I am waiting to hear from the dealership as to the resolution. As of this writing (10/12/25 @ 5:30 pm EST, I have seen 100's of posts regarding the same issue from other Jeep owners and I have yet to see a formal notice from the manufacturer acknowledging the issue with an action plan. The complete lack of quality control from Jeep has put 1,000's of drivers in danger as the vehicle just shuts down without warning. I seriously hope no one is injured or killed due to the gross incompetence of this manufacturer.

Jeep/Stellantis pushed an update to the Uconnect System/other electronic controls in our 24 Wrangler 4xe without warning or ability to adequately decline the update that ultimately downloaded into the vehicle. After the update vehicle stalls every 1 to 5 miles. After 30 seconds driver has no control of the vehicle. This presented a situation where we could have been involved in a major accident. Highly unsafe. Jeep apparently knows the issue and has done nothing to correct.
