ENGINE
I went to drive it today and it had a full charge. Drove it to my office and put it on charge. Went to go home for lunch and it did not charge, but I had fuel and would figure it out later. Was driving on a 4 lane highway and a turtle popped up on the screen saying it was going to slow mode and turned off 5 seconds later going 55 mph. Had a message on the display saying put in in park, foot on the brake and press the start button. After I drifted to the redlight I did that and nothing. The EV battery was dead, I had 1/8 tank of fuel and would not even try to start. Just sitting at a light at a busy intersection. After 10 minutes and a green light I pushed the start button again and it moved about 15' to right in the middle of the intersection and did it again. All dash lights we on and the message saying press brake, put it in park and start it but literally nothing happens. Luckily a tow truck driver was in another lane and he knew how to pop a cover by the shifter to pull a strap that puts it in neutral as long as the strap is being pulled. So he was able to push me to the side of the road. I was only 1/4 mile away from my office, so I towed it back with another vehicle and put it on charge. Lights came on saying charging system failure, check charger. I called roadside and they towed it to the dealer and I included the charger. To note - I've had this vehicle about 3 months and many times trying to put it in electric mode it will usually say "Electric system temporarily available" Sometimes going down hills in it usually switches to electric mode, but when i get to the bottom I have 0 (zero) power until i push the pedal all the way down and it kicks over to gas mode.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
[XXX] driving car that we have owned for approximately 2 months 280 miles on busy road 4 way intersection at light stopped waiting for the turn left when car jolts as though we were rear ended but not. Then stops completely and shuts down with no indication of what is happening. Put hazard lights on trying ro get some control of car the system shut down and appeared to reboot taking 10 minutes. Very scary situation fortunately we were not in a high speed . Luckily the car started but now had an engine light on. Made it home contacted Arrigo dealer in West palm , fl but no calls back. Contacted the service department the next day 11/11/24 . They ran tests and said it needed a software update. Not sure why there was no notification and car dangerously shuts down. Picked up car on 11/12/24 to have Juan Gascon assure us it will not happen again. Not feeling great after reading info online. They did send a video from service had trouble uploading.

On three occasions so far in this vehicle with fewer than 3,000 miles I have experienced the “death wobble” after going over a bump on a highway at highway speeds. The intense shaking of the vehicle persists until I am able to slow down to below 50mph or so. The incidents have taken place on [XXX] (twice on [XXX] driving North from Cupertino) and on [XXX] driving in Napa on [XXX] towards Yountville. I will be taking the vehicle in for service on 11/12/24 at Putnam Chrysler in Burlingame CA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN
While driving in electric mode, sometimes I would lose power. One example is on the freeway while cruising at freeway speeds. I noticed my speed decreases and i have to press the accelerator pedal more than normal. Even after depressing it more than normal, the gauge on the battery power wont move and the speed continues to decrease (charge level can be at 50%, 80%, or lower). It also happens to me after stops at stop sign or intersection. When in EV mode, my light would turn green or its clear to continue into the intersection, the vehicle will barely creep out of a stop to the point that I would almost get t-boned at a T intersection. I have to floor the accelerator down to the floor in order to get the gas engine to turn on (while in EV mode with adequate charge on battery) and violently push me forward. Happens a few times a week both on highway or intersections.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When traveling on the highway if you switch lanes or hit a bump, the jeep shakes violently and you have to hit your brakes to make it stop. A rented vehicle of the same make model and year had the same issue for family members in September of 2024. We have been taking video, took it to jeep and the tech took it for a 3 mile ride (non highway) and said nothing is wrong but they recommended a dampener or stabilizers, but this jeep is $1100/month and brand new. There are no warnings, and the shaking is absolutely hard to control. Less than 10,000 miles and it’s a safety concern for any jeep on the highways. It’s dangerous for all vehicles to be around the jeep when it begins shaking. All we can do for now, unless we wreck, is video it’s issue. We have traveled from Kansas to Washington and are almost back to Kansas, but the issue has gotten more dangerous as we have traveled. It feels like the wheels will actually fall off the arms of the jeep. It’s incredibly scary. Video not an option to upload below, but we can get info from jeep tech showing we told them the issue. The jeep is available for inspection and the issue will not stop, it’s a constant and there’s no way this is normal.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Continued electrical over discharge resulting in battery failure. Problem remains undiagnosed by dealer, multiple engine / transmission / seat malfunction error codes. Hybrid engine does not take over driving as operated. Concerned this may present as a fire hazard for one as electrical systems are not communicating in a hybrid vehicle. Secondary concern that the vehicle will suddenly lose power while driving at put driver and others at risk of accident. This problem has occurred more than three times since ownership. Vehicle has been owned less than 1 month and was purchased brand new. Initial problem occurred within less than 600 miles of ownership. Vehicle starter battery has been significantly discharged since ownership under normal operations. Was initially advised by the Jeep dealership that 'the wrong battery was installed at the factory' and that changing the battery would solve the issue. Shortly after this service (approximately one week), the problem occurred again. Further diagnostics have remained unclear without resolution via the dealer.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2024 Jeep Hybrid- one month into purchasing it in March of 2024, the engine completely blew. It was in the shop over a month waiting for a new engine. Last month, my charger would not charge the vehicle - they stated nothing was wrong and it was electrical in my own home which is incorrect considering we use the same outlet to charge another hybrid vehicle. This week, 200k jeeps (mine included) were recalled due to vehicles starting on fire from the charging. The recall states there is no fix at this time and to just not charge your vehicle. I paid much more for a hyrbid vehicle, and now unable to use it for safety reasons.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I am writing to raise a safety concern regarding the recurring “Service Hybrid Electric System” warning on my Jeep Wrangler 4xe. This warning light frequently appears during normal driving conditions, often without any discernible reason or noticeable performance issues. After consulting with my dealership, it was indicated that this issue is common, with no immediate or lasting resolution provided, even after multiple diagnostics. The primary concern I wish to highlight is the potential safety hazard this frequent warning creates. Due to its persistent and intermittent nature, drivers may become desensitized to the alert. This desensitization can lead to drivers either losing focus due to distraction from the warning or ignoring the warning entirely, assuming it is yet another false alert. In emergency situations where the hybrid system does indeed have a critical issue, this lack of attention could result in delayed reactions or inadequate responses, increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, this issue can cause unnecessary anxiety and confusion, particularly when no definitive fault is identified, leaving the driver unsure of the vehicle’s actual safety status. This ambiguity poses a risk, especially in situations requiring immediate attention to a legitimate hybrid system malfunction. Given the number of reports from fellow Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners who are experiencing similar issues and the potential safety risks involved, I believe this warrants a thorough investigation by Jeep and its parent company to determine whether a safety recall is necessary. I would appreciate confirmation that this report will be reviewed and the appropriate actions taken to mitigate any risks associated with this warning system.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
As I was driving on the interstate, a red turtle appeared on the control panel saying that power has been reduced. Approximately 2 minutes later the entire engine shut down at 55mph. I pulled over and placed the Jeep into park and attempted to restart the truck. The Jeep would power on and immediately shut off. I called a tow truck and had it towed to the dealership (Tate Chrysler and Jeep in Glen Burnie, MD) where it is currently being serviced.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I had several safety concerns regarding the 2024 Jeep Wrangler that I purchased and subsequently traded in after only 31 days due to multiple issues that I believe may compromise vehicle safety. Upon purchasing the vehicle, I noticed that the front inner splash guards were loose. After the dealership, Tyson’s Motors in Shorewood, IL, replaced both splash guards, I discovered that the front left splash guard had plugs that fell out, exposing critical hoses underneath. This issue raised immediate concerns about the potential for damage to these hoses and the vehicle's overall safety. In addition to the splash guard issue, I experienced further safety concerns, including screws from the inside speakers located between the front and rear seats falling off while driving, as well as a loose headlight pin. These problems not only posed a risk to my safety but also created an environment of uncertainty regarding the overall reliability of the vehicle. Due to these ongoing issues, I felt it necessary to trade in the Wrangler for an identical model, as I believed the original vehicle was possibly faulty. Unfortunately, the replacement vehicle caused me injury just two days later, which I have also reported to the NHTSA, dealership and Jeep. I believe these issues warrant serious attention and investigation to prevent potential safety hazards for other drivers, passengers, and those driving on the road.
