ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN
Acceleration lag: either bucking or temporary loss of motive power when attempting to pull into traffic has almost caused us to be hit several times. We had the problem almost immediately after purchase, but the lag was short and the Jeep would leap forward and back tires would squeal which caused the back tires to wear quickly compared to front. The bucking and loss of power while accelerating became dangerous after I took to the dealership in Feb 2026 when they also did recall 68C related to the battery. We stopped charging it completely and still had the issue. Took back to the dealership in March 2026 and they said they could not replicate issue. Tried to schedule an appt last week and they never got back to me. We have avoided several accidents so far but I am now afraid to drive it. Assuming these are unrelated but just in case: at 10k miles the check engine light came on, and I couldn’t add ANY fuel (automatic shut off happened immediately) and the fuel cap wouldn’t open.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Following the completion of the 68C recall update on 4/17/26 my 2024 Jeep 4xE experiences a severe loss of acceleration and throttle lag at highway speeds (over 50 mph) when in electric mode. When attempting to pass vehicles (and sometimes when in the oncoming traffic lane), or when just trying to maintain speed in traffic, the drivetrain abruptly throttles power; causing the vehicle to bog down and hesitate. There is no ability to accelerate and care slows. The gas pedal is essentially useless. The gas engine then performs a panic start, causing the vehicle to lurch forward at highway speeds. It has created and dangerous driving condition when passing, merging or just trying to keep pace the traffic around me. There is no way to know exactly when it will happen, so the unpredictability makes it even more dangerous. I understand this is an issue with many Jeep 4xE since the 68C recall update. It has happened to me 4 times now, the most recent was today. This is unacceptable.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
"My vehicle [XXX] is subject to open Safety Recall for a high-voltage battery fire risk. The manufacturer has issued a 'Do Not Drive' / 'Park Outside' advisory, deeming the vehicle unsafe for operation. The Safety Defect: The vehicle poses an immediate fire hazard while charging or driving due to battery failure. Manufacturer Failure: Despite acknowledging the safety defect, Stellantis (Jeep) and the authorized dealer (Jerry V's Windward Hawaii Kaneohe Jeep) have refused to provide a loaner vehicle or direct-bill rental coverage. They insist on out-of-pocket reimbursement only, which I cannot afford. Impact: I am left without safe transportation for a known life-safety defect. The manufacturer is failing to remedy the safety issue within a reasonable time as required by federal law, leaving me stranded and at risk.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When in electric mode - and this happens at all different battery percentages - it will drive normally for a bit and I've watched the screen and seen the KW go up and down normally for electric and it seems perhaps once the battery has heated up (my assumption) it throttles electric power at 46 or 48KW, and then does not accelerate anymore and instead will lose power/speed (which is dangerous in traffic) and eventually switch over to Hybrid and a message about Electric mode temporarily unavailable. While waiting for hybrid to kick on my speed decreases by about 15mph. This has also happened when trying to take off from a complete stop. So you can only accelerate and very slowly to perhaps 20-25mph then no more speed , nothing then hybrid clicks on and electric mode temporarily unavailable. It is basically making electric mode useless and dangerous. It occurs almost every time I drive it now, originally it was sporadic and has started to be more.

The dashboard is completely out. I cannot see my speed,know if my lights are working, cannot not know if there is an issue with the car, cannot see gas. Completely unsafe. Year, make, and model are under the recall # 30B but because my vin is not bringing it up it is not covered despite matching everything else and it is a safety issue.

STEERING
Our Jeep has a death wobble that has almost caused me to have three wrecks where it is taking me out of my lane of travel and put me in Lanes where other people are had to get to the side of the road and try to get it to stop wobbling it. Every time I hit a pothole or a bump it throws me into a death wobble. I'm worried that this might cause me to get into an accident or cause me to die this happens every time I drive it. I cannot go above 40 mph without causing a death wobble so now I have no use of my Jeep. It just sits

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Purchased vehicle in question on 9/11/25 as a lease through the local Jeep dealership near my residence. Sometime around 4/26 to 5/26 my vehicle started to display odd operational patterns which were brought to my local dealerships attention. The first event where I was able to record any type of documentation was around 5/25/26. While driving, the vehicle would suddenly go into "limp mode" and rapidly decrease speed. Several check engine lights would appear to include: Service Electronic Throttle Control, Service Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control and the standard CEL. When this does happen, the vehicle will decrease speed suddenly without warning and becomes difficult to operate until it is pulled over and parked. Vehicle has been to my local dealership several times (4) and out of service for over 70 days with the latest stay 30+ days. According to documentation from the dealership, the listed error/issue has been recreated on their end at least one time but no data was captured with that fail. My local Jeep dealership Service Manager (CF) replied to an email of mine (7/16/26 at 1703) with the following statement: Verified customer concern of check engine light on connect to wytec and found p2173 stored in powertrain control module. Also found c121c stored in ABS module. Believe ABS code is related to PCM code, cleared codes test drove multiple times. Finally able to get customer concern to duplicate but no data was captured on this failure. We are continuing to drive the vehicle while monitoring data to catch freeze frame data while concern occurs but have not been able to do so far at this time. The condition, when it occurs presents a serious safety concern for the driver and other drivers as it will cause a sever throttle limitation and can cause the vehicle to slow down rapidly. As of 8/9/26, no fix confirmed for my vehicle and the dealership and manufacture are pushing to return my vehicle with confirmed fix. Jeep case number 97378351

While driving my vehicle, I have noticed a significant decrease in power and a corresponding slowdown, particularly in traffic conditions. This has resulted in a near-miss collision with another vehicle in the rear. Furthermore, attempting to accelerate the vehicle has proven futile. ps. The dealer where I brought the vehicle is kinda giving me a hard time & I fear for my family safety. honestly I dont feel like the dealer was being completly honest.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe High Altitude received FCA Recall 68C. Since the recall was completed, the vehicle has experienced repeated and unpredictable reductions in available propulsion during normal driving. The problem is most noticeable when accelerating to merge onto highways, enter traffic, or pass slower vehicles. During these situations, I depress the accelerator expecting normal acceleration, but the vehicle frequently provides significantly reduced power. There is a noticeable delay before the gasoline engine produces sufficient propulsion, leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate as expected for several seconds. Based on my experience, the condition is significantly worse during hot weather. As outside temperatures increase, the hesitation and reduction in available propulsion appear to occur more frequently and are more pronounced. This has caused me to lose confidence in the vehicle's ability to accelerate when needed. This condition creates a serious safety hazard because surrounding traffic continues at highway speeds while my vehicle is unable to accelerate as commanded. In [XXX], this hazard is particularly acute because many interstate and highway entrance ramps are relatively short, requiring drivers to accelerate quickly to merge safely into traffic traveling at highway speeds. When the vehicle unexpectedly limits propulsion or delays engaging the gasoline engine, there may not be sufficient distance to reach the speed necessary to merge safely, increasing the risk of a collision. The same issue also affects attempts to pass slower vehicles on two-lane highways, where timely acceleration is essential for safe operation. The vehicle does not display diagnostic trouble codes or warning messages when this occurs. Because no diagnostic codes are stored, I have not taken the vehicle to the dealer, as other owners have reported that dealerships are unable to identify or repair the condition in the absence of fault codes.

Vehicle total power loss while driving on the freeway, UNKNOWN cause. Vehicle will not turn off or turn on, shift gear locked. Seem to be a system communication between battery, transmission, ecu. Major safety risk while driving on the 3rd lane on the freeway driving 65mph with other vehicles around then sudden loss of power unable to accelarate. Was able to safely move to the shoulder and contacted AAA for towing to nearest dealership. Loss power and battery issues ongoing with same type model and year No other messages or symptoms prior to the problem occuring.

ENGINE
The harmonic balancer on the motor failed and flew off the motor causing catastrophic damage to the radiator. The failure resulted in immediate disabling of the vehicle, which could have happened at high speeds or on a highway with limited access. The part that flew off the motor was also a large piece of solid metal that luckily landed in the bumper cavity, but if it would have left the engine compartment, would most certainly be a fatal projectile. Once taking it to the dealership, they told me that this is a known problem with the Hemi 392 motor. Research shows this has been an issue since 2003 with this motor. The motor is found in several different Stellantis vehicles. There were no warning signs of the failure prior to it occurring.

As I was driving a service electronic stability control came up on my dash and I lost control of the vehicle. The brakes did not work and it was hard to steer. I almost hit a vehicle and the Jeep kept rolling until it stopped. Then I received an alert that the brakes did system, anti lock brake system, and Electronic Stability System failure. This is very scary my vehicle is a lease and they say they are fixing it but I’m very scared I will lose control of my Jeep while I’m driving.
