UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On 10/10/2025 at approximately 11:00 pm CT I was driving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe on a four lane divided highway at 70 MPH. During the drive a check engine light popped on solid and three seconds later the vehicle killed power and the steering wheel locked up. The Check Engine light was solid and NOT blinking. 911 was called as this incident occurred at the crest of a hill and I was still partially on the roadway. This was following an Over the Air UConnect Box update at 5:00 pm CT. The vehicle was able to be moved to the shoulder and was towed to the service center.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
When I pulled my Jeep 4xe into my garage, I got an alert on my radio saying my Jeep needed to updated. I selected to go ahead and update it. The next time I drove my vehicle, I made it about a quarter mile. When I was crossing an intersection, all of the lights on my dash went crazy and my Jeep completely shut down. Luckily I could put it into neutral to coast through the busy intersection. It was very scary. I had to pull over, turn it off and back on again. It did start up and continued to drive. Now my check engine light is on.

Jeep pushed out an OTA update for their Uconnect system. Upon completion of this update, that occurred while I was driving, I lost control of my vehicle. My steering wheel locked up, all of the lights on my dashboard started flashing, and I was instructed to pull the jeep over. I was unable to operate the vehicle and had to be towed.

Was driving on the highway and the check engine lights came on and a warning to shift to park. Shifted to park and restarted the vehicle to get myself out of the road and the check engine light remained on. From several posts on the Jeep 4xe Facebook group, looks like related to a recent over-the-air update which mine completed an hour before. The Jeep just died in the middle of the highway….

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
We’ve experienced multiple ongoing issues with this vehicle, and the dealership’s only suggestion so far has been to file a lemon law claim. Last month, the car began jerking excessively while driving typically at speeds between 35–45 mph. The best way to describe it is that it feels as though all the wheels lock up at once, causing a loud tire-screeching noise. It was a frightening experience. The dealership claimed to have resolved the issue with a “software update.” However, just last night, my wife was stranded on the highway when the car suddenly started shutting down mid-drive, similar to what happens when a vehicle runs out of gas. The maximum speed she could reach was about 20 mph, and the check engine light came on. She switched from hybrid mode to eSave (gas-only mode), which allowed her to get home safely. This morning, she tested it again. The check engine light was initially off, but after a short drive, it came back on and the vehicle started shutting down again. This Jeep is a lease, and despite being in the shop five times three of those for a full week the dealership continues to “service” it without providing a real solution. We are extremely concerned about the vehicle’s safety and reliability at this point.

My vehicle prompted me to update my UCONNECT software around 540pm last night as I went tminto class. Upon leaving class around 845pm, I expierenced a complete loss of power, many dash indicator lights came on, and the vehicle message appeared indicating the vehicle needed to be put into Park. This all occurred while driving at about 40mph. I have never had any issues with the vehicle before this.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
OTS update today on 10-10-25 on my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4XE caused my Jeep to stall/die about a mile from my house losing all engine/motor power and my Drive selector D to begin flashing. I had to put my Jeep in park in a busy intersection narrowly being hit several times by oncoming traffic. I had to put in park and shut the Jeep completely off, then back on and finally after reboot, could put in drive to safely get out of the intersection. My check engine light is now on and I have zero trust in my Jeep and know it is EXTREMELY dangerous to safely drive. When all traffic was gone, I made it home, but engine light is on, and radio display that shows icons are all missing, and screen is flashing and changing screen sizes. Jeep is not drivable.

A software update for the Uconnext system was pushed to the vehicle and accepted. Immediately after the car said the system was updated, the vehicle engine stopped completely, and the whole dashboard shut down. Restarted the car, but this repeated several times in a very short distance. The “D” was blinking in the transmission. It was barely possible to pull the vehicle over, as all power was lost. After some time stopped and waiting for a tow truck, driver pushed the factory reset button to reset the system. After factory reset, the car operated normally.

Car engine cut off completely 3 separate times during a short 1.2 mile trip through neighborhood (20-25mph). Car prompted me to put car in park and start engine. I had to coast to side of road, stop, park, then restart engine each time. 30 seconds between each start/failure. Scary!! Car had 80% hybrid battery charge before I left the house. Infotainment prompted me for an OTA update earlier in the day - coincidence?? Check engine light turned on. OBD2 fault code P1e1d. I've owned the car for 2.5 months with no prior issues.
