POWER TRAIN
After a recent over the air software update the vehicle will just shut off while while driving with no way to accelerate or maintain speed. The vehicle just coasts to a stop.This caused me to have to stop in traffic, shift to park and restart the vehicle. This has been happening consistently since the software update on 10/10/25. I am going to have the vehicle towed to the dealership as it's not safe to drive since it will only go a half mile between shutting down. Jeep acknowledged the issue on a forum dedicated to Jeep wrangler. This issue is impacting many jeeps that received the update.

October 11, went to the grocery store and parked. Upon shutting off the vehicle, it asked to push an update. I said ok, plugged the charger into the charging station and went shopping. About an hour later I left the parking lot. Made it 200 yards and the vehicle shutoff and started to come to an abrupt stop. I was in a 40 mph zone, and the person behind laid on their horn and swerved. My vehicles check engine light came on, and it was still in drive with the dashboard displaying a flashing D. I put it in park, shut it off and put the flashers on. Once I restarted, CE light was still on, but it let me put it into drive and move. I made it another 200 yards and it did the same thing. Pulled over again and parked. This time, I selected e-save to run on fuel. It was driving a little strange to me, but I was able to make it home (4 miles) safely. I’ll be taking it into the shop as soon as I possibly can.

After doing the unconnect update on Oct 10, while the vehicle was driving it bricked (stopped moving, everything went off). Causing a near accident with our entire family in the car - young children involved! We pulled over and turned it off then back on again and we're in limp mode for a while when it bricked AGAIN this time in the middle of an intersection. This is a BRAND NEW Jeep and has barely been driven. Absolutely horrific!

I installed an update last night and today the vehicle just shuts off on it own. Looks like jeep stellantis pushed an updated that they clearly did no testing on. P1e1d-00 is the code when I scan. I can no longer drive my jeep.

After accepting a prompted Uconnect over-the-air (OTA) software update, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe began experiencing complete loss of motive power while driving. The vehicle suddenly lost acceleration capability and had to be restarted multiple times. I took the vehicle to McPeek’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Anaheim, CA, where technicians confirmed that multiple Wrangler 4xe vehicles had arrived the same day with the same failure following the same Uconnect update. The dealership performed a rollback to the previous software version, but the issue was not resolved. During the post-rollback road test, the technician confirmed that engine and propulsion issues persisted, and my service advisor advised that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. As a result, the Jeep was not released back to me and remains at the dealership pending further direction from Stellantis engineering. Diagnostic codes reported by other affected owners and visible in forums include U0293-00 (Lost communication with hybrid control module), U0010-00 (CAN bus communication failure), and P1E1D-00 (Hybrid control processor fault), which appear consistent with a communication breakdown between the Uconnect and hybrid powertrain systems. Jeep Customer Care has opened case #[XXX] for this incident and is coordinating with the dealer. This appears to be a safety-related defect, as the vehicle can unexpectedly lose power while in motion.

ENGINE, STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Jeep released an update for uconnect box. After it was automatically installed my Jeep wrangler lost engine power and steering while in the middle of a round about. Barely had enough momentum to make out of the closest round about exit and no power to pull off the road. Dashboard flashed shift into park. Shifted into park and restarted the engine. Turned off the main road and it died again. This did it 3 more times trying to drive home. This is extremely dangerous since you lose steering and engine power. This could kill someone on a turn, highway, or intersection.

Last night my Jeep Wrangler 4xe had a automated over the air software update come up on the screen. As normal i pressed update so the computers updated themselves. This morning I was approximately .5miles away from my house (first time driving since update), and I got multiple warning lights and errors on the dash. THE MOTOR THEN TURNED OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I pulled over, I was able to get the vehicle restarted and turned around. I made it about 1000feet from my house when the car TURNED OFF COMPLETLEY AGAIN. This time it would not restart. Luckily I was able to coast onto a side street off of a busy main road. I had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer. I later learned that Jeep pushed this update out and this same thing happened to THOUSANDS of 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. Myself, my wife and my infant son could have been killed due to Jeep's negligence and carelessness, there is no way that a software update should be pushed out without it being tested and vetted. Oh and the dealers have no solutions or loaners so I am already out $300 for a 3-day rental.

Had an update, and now the Jeep is flashing lights everywhere, there was a thud, and it won’t drive. If this happened while I was driving, it could have caused a big issue and accident.

After my UCONNECT software updated today 10/11/25 my car has not been driving right since. I can’t drive more than 20ft without it stopping flashing “shift to p” all my gears are lighting up i put the car into park with my foot on the break it flashes 3 different other issues then reverts back to my MPH, i am not able to shift it back into drive i have to then turn the car completely off then turn it back on shift it into drive. Happened on a major road with heavy traffic NOT SAFE. i managed to do a hard factory rest and drove it on E-SAVE which i was able to get the car to my house without having to pay $350 for towing. I’m praying it can get me to work on monday and this will be fixed by then because i cannot afford to miss work let alone pay for a rental due to JEEPS MISTAKE!! I pay a lot of money for this car which is a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe with less than 20k miles never had any other issues with it until now. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

My car will abruptly lose all power will driving down the road and the dash directs you to put it in park and restart the vehicle. This requires coming to a complete stop in the middle of the roadway. This happened 10x in a 30 mile drive and at times at highway speeds. Forcing me to either stop in the middle of the freeway or hope i can get to the side of the road to pull off. This is extremely dangerous and from my early research this is happening to all 4xe wranglers after a failed update last night. Jeep is advising people to drive the car in gas mode (which it does not have) but all 3 hybrid modes have the same result. Someone is going to be seriously injured or killed because of this issue. Nobody should be driving these vehicles like this and i dont know what my 18 year old daughter would have done if she was driving on the highway. This emergency needs immediate attention not the response from Jeep that they will “look into it monday”

What a scary experience I had today. Backing out of a parking spot, my jeep jerked and the Drive signal started flashing. The engine light turned on. Thank goodness I did not hit anyone or anything. My jeep had an automatic uconnect update yesterday. The jeep had to be towed because I was told by my Jeep service dealership where I got it, that it was unsafe to drive. I was out of state and had to use several Ubers and rent a car to get back home.

After an Update, the Jeep died completely in the middle of the road with a bunch of errors on the dash and would not restart. After about 10 minutes, it restarted but died again shortly after. A third try a while later and it ran in manual transmission mode to where we could get it home. Check engine light is on and vehicle is still acting odd.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
After installing the latest OTA update (U37.23-PROD), my Wrangler 4xe displayed “Service Hybrid System” and lost power while driving on the highway. The vehicle entered reduced-power mode, forcing me to continue using only the gas engine with limited acceleration. This is a safety issue. The problem started immediately after the OTA update. Diagnostic codes: U0594, P0A45, P1E1D. Please escalate this to Stellantis Technical Operations and confirm if a software reprogram (TSB 08-029-23) is available for my VIN. This situation created a serious safety concern while traveling 300 miles from home on a weekend with no Jeep dealers open.

After a software update, the car would drive a few miles and then shut down in the middle of driving. You would be required to stop the car, put it in park, and restart the car. The car check engine light comes on and is in a crawl mode, with little acceleration. This is a wide spread issue across all 2024 Jeep Wranglers 4xe
