I am reporting a serious safety concern involving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X 4xe following Recall 68C (NHTSA 25V-741). After the recall software update, my vehicle experienced a significant reduction in electric-mode power and acceleration. Electric mode has become practically unusable and potentially dangerous, especially during highway driving. Before the update, electric mode provided adequate and predictable acceleration. Following the update, the vehicle struggles to deliver sufficient power when merging onto highways, entering fast-moving traffic, passing other vehicles, or…
My most serious complaint concerns the vehicle’s behavior following completion of the 68C / NHTSA 25V-741 high-voltage battery recall software update. Since that update, I have experienced reductions in electric-drive power, hesitation, and unexpected engagement of the gasoline engine while driving. The resulting delay in power delivery is particularly concerning when merging into traffic or passing another vehicle, when predictable acceleration is essential. While turning right at an intersection, I have personally experienced reduction of power followed by engagement of the ICE resulting in…
Since getting the recalls done on my vehicle, I have experienced loss of power, acceleration & automatic dry engine start while in “electric mode”. This seems to happen when vehicle reaches a certain temp. I live in [XXX] so it is always hot! Example: I’ll be driving at highway speed or going up an incline and all of a sudden I will lose propulsion and eventually the engine will cold start even when I have plenty of battery % left! This is scary as this never happened before I had the recalls done! I have several concerns. First, there is a safety risk with loss of propulsion, also I have…
I was driving around 64 miles per hour when all of a sudden the jeep automatically dropped to 45mph. I also received a message that said service engine, see dealership. I had the car only 5 days when this happened
Wife took Jeep to dealership for recalls. Dropped it off, got a rental car. A short while later, dealership called to say Jeep had an electrical fire while on the charger at the dealership. Fire Dept called and Jeep was sent to salvage yard to "burn out." Total loss of vehicle. 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe High Altitude. Leased the vehicle new on 9/23/24. Just over 35K miles. Using a level 2 charger at home and no issues prior to this. Jeep Customer Care promised an investigation within 3-4 business days. Today is the 6th business day and still no contact from them. Multiple attempts to call them…
My jeep after the 68c recall work was performed to lessen the chances of a fire caused by the hybrid battery now under performs compared to before the recall. I get much less that the advertised EV / Battery only miles. Also, the vehicle hesitates while trying to transition between battery only and hybrid modes. My only recorse is to not use the battery only mode because it is a safety concern.
I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sport S that has experienced a significant and potentially dangerous reduction in propulsion power following the completion of Recall 68C (NHTSA Campaign 25V741000) by an authorized Jeep dealership. These problems began after the recall software update and were not present beforehand. Since the recall repair, the vehicle has substantially reduced electric-motor acceleration. While operating in Electric mode, pressing the accelerator can result in an increase of only approximately 1 MPH every 1–2 seconds, even with substantial accelerator input. The internal…
I own a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe High Altitude. I request that NHTSA investigate reports of dangerous changes in propulsion and acceleration following Jeep/Stellantis Recall 68C software updates. I have experienced, as well as other owners, diminished electric-motor power, weak or delayed acceleration, unexpected reductions in propulsion, and a lag before the gasoline engine provides power. These conditions can create a collision risk when merging, crossing intersections, passing, or maintaining speed uphill. Some report abrupt power delivery after the delay. Owners also report being told this…
Violent, uncontrollable front-end steering oscillation (commonly known as 'Death Wobble') occurred while driving on the highway at approximately [Insert Speed, e.g., 55–65 mph] after hitting a [pothole / expansion joint / bump]. The steering wheel shook violently back and forth, causing a severe loss of steering control. The forceful vibration did not subside until slowing down significantly to a speed of [Insert Speed, e.g., 20 mph] on the shoulder of the road. The vehicle is completely stock, has 44,000 miles, and the factory bumper-to-bumper warranty has expired. This rapid shaking creates…
I have a failed 68C Federal Recall Safety Remedy Recall. The jeep suffered a catastrophic high-voltage battery and powertrain failure while operating at highway speeds. The vehicle is unsafe to drive, charge, or park near structures due to Fire Risk. In December of 2025 at the Jeep's authorized dealership the battery passed corporate software diagnostics, and Stellantis assured me the vehicle was safe to operate. The recall remedy completely failed. On September 18, 2026 while driving at highway speeds in active traffic, the vehicle suffered a total loss of powertrain power and shut down…
My Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe experienced a sudden and severe loss of motive power while making a left turn onto US Route 301 at a major intersection. When the traffic light turned green, I attempted to accelerate through the intersection, but the vehicle suddenly entered what is commonly referred to as “Turtle Mode” and would only travel approximately 2 MPH. This left the vehicle moving extremely slowly in an active major roadway and created an immediate risk of being struck by approaching traffic. I activated the hazard lights and had to make an emergency maneuver to move the vehicle to the…
