#11690069 | Fire
JEEP 2024 Wrangler 4XE HYBRID EXPLODED VIN# [XXX] On [XXX], just before [XXX], our 2024 hybrid vehicle began emitting smoke while parked in our attached garage. Thankfully, our smoke alarm alerted us - my wife discovered it was coming from the garage and immediately called 911. Police arrived within minutes and were able to push the car out of the garage. Shortly after that, the vehicle caught fire. First responders later told us that if my wife had not acted quickly, the fire could have easily spread to our home—potentially resulting in a total loss, or worse, endangering our lives if it had happened while we were asleep. It took four hours of continuous firefighting to manage the flames. The Hazmat team explained that this was due to “thermal runaway”, a dangerous chain reaction in lithium-ion batteries where heat builds uncontrollably, leading to fire or even explosions. These types of...

The engine began sounding like a diesel and pushing the gas pedal made the car surge/lurch. Then, while driving in rush hour traffic, the car went into what I now know is called “limp mode” where I could not accelerate and I received a warning that told me to pull the car over.

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe VIN: [XXX] I have driven 4 other 4xe 2024 in the last two months as rental cars and have noticed my jeep is not performing anywhere near the other four, I have driven. Seems like my jeep isn’t tuned correctly or the engine/transmission has an issue. Engine: -When starting and as engine warming up it shakes the care periodically. There are times when it will shake the car as it heats up, rocking the car slightly and you can hear the engine make a weird knocking noise. -This also occurs when in E-Save mode and charging the battery is selected. The engine does not idle smooth all the time and sometimes runs rough then goes back to normal -There does not seem to be much torque Transmission: -The 1st – 3rd gear shift at high RPM times even when barley giving it any gas. -The transmission...

I had just left my home and got up to about 20-25 MPH when my Jeep Wrangler Willy’s 4XE suddenly and abruptly came to a full stop causing the tires to lock up as well and screech to a stop then it shut down and I had to restart it. It jolted my upper body and head forward and could’ve been much more dangerous if I were on a busy road or if anyone were driving behind me. I took it to my local dealership and they were able to recreate the issue after driving it and it shut off just as it did for me. They brought it in and seem to have primarily done some software update but didn’t express much confidence in the repair. They just said there were no DCT’s but there was some software updates and that should fix it. They also claimed there were...

Was driving on highway, shifted to neutral by accident and message appeared “service charging system” and engine shutoff. Incredibly dangerous.
#11630465 |
Continued "service electric hybrid system" error on dash with dinging noise. The vehicle does not run properly in hybrid mode or electric mode, does not always want to maintain power. Causes jerking movements when accelerating in hybrid mode. Will not run only the ICE in e save mode.

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'...

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.

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.

VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING IN ESAVE MODE
#11613870 |
All the warning lights came on while driving on the highway and the vehicle shutdown on its own. 3,000 miles on the vehicle. Seems like an electrical or software issue. Absolutely unacceptable. I am lucky I wasn’t hit.
#11612481 |
The engine is running rough and loses power when it turns on for the first time and speeding up around 6th gear. Also the 2nd gear takes about 3-5 sec to downshift and you lose the opportunity to step on the gas hard or it will slam into another gear. The lose of power and random shifting causes you to slow down and not able to get out of the way or drive well esp. on the highway. The jeep dealer wants to keep the car for 4 days to trouble shoot. No lights or warnings it constantly does this and seems there is a tuning or computer issue. The car only has 8000 miles on it.

Now on Sunday August 11th at 6:08pm driving home from store with no charge on jeep at all, not in hybrid only gas, the jeep died in the middle of the road, it abruptly stopped with no warning, my body jerked forward and when I pushed down gas pedal there was nothing. There was no type of warning before this happened, no light warning on dash, no beeping NO WARNING. Thankfully the car behind me went around me and thankfully there was enough distance between us. I was on a back road thankfully right near an entrance of a park. After putting it into park is when it started binging at me and beeping and warning lights, service charging system light came on, check engine light. I tried turning it off and back on which I had power like my radio and lights on dash the whole time. I could...

New car purchased 8/3/24. On 8/5/24, At 300 miles, red check engine light came on. Error code is Turbocharger issue per our code reader. Dealer informed us ok to drive until we could get in for service. At 500 miles, engine began to miss and would not accelerate (8/11/24). We barely made it home by driving under 45 miles per hour. Car towed to Jeep dealer on 8/12/24. Jeep dealer will not give us an expected repair timeline after 3 inquiries this week. It could be as long as 6 weeks per the dealership. This is our 6th Jeep Wrangler since 2009. This 2024 Jeep has a serious issue that needs immediate attention. Jeep should be held accountable and repairs to new vehicles with less than 1000 miles should be a priority. We are working with Jeep to see if a different dealer for repair is an option.

In January 2024, on my way to work, the jeep engine randomly shut off. It was the middle of winter and temperature in the teens and that may have been a factor but I had already been driving 20-25 minutes so the car was sufficiently warmed up. After the random shutdown, I was able to park on the side of road but that's where it stayed all day. There was no warning. There were no lights or beeping. It just shut off and would not start again. At the end of work day (9 hours later), I returned to vehicle and it started. I did bring the vehicle in for service at a Jeep dealership for another separate recall issue and they said they could not duplicate the conditions of that morning to see if there was an issue with the engine or battery. There was nothing wrong from what...

Driving Jeep down the road and it cuts off and comes to a halt. It will eventually start back up but check engine light comes on. Took to dealer and they claim it was a flash update, but it has now shut off on us again while driving it. This is VERY dangerous to say the least. Especially if it happens on a major busy highway. It could easily cause a wreck.

Vehicle has stopped and shut down 3 times this year. Unable to power back on. Stopped in the middle of the road. Requieres towing asístance all instances back to dealership for repair.

Vehicle has experienced a loss of power/throttle response. Also appears to have an issue with engaging and staying engaged in the drive position. At times when trying to place the vehicle in drive the dash indicator will blink "D1" and you have to return the vehicle shift lever to neutral or park and then back to drive to get the transmission to engage and allow the vehicle to move forward. Both issues have occurred while in 2 wheel drive on paved highway as well as in mild off-road conditions in both high and low range four wheel drive modes without the lockers engaged. Vehicle was taken to a dealer on 7/30/2024 and they checked for codes with the only code displayed relating to the collision detection system activation which has occurred while in four wheel drive modes at slow speeds. Vehicle is scheduled for further diagnostics on 8/19/2024 which was...

After purchasing a new vehicle, 25 miles in a check engine hybrid system alert appeared. I returned the vehicle and was advised that this is an inherent problem with this vehicle and is part of a major recall and the parts needed are 6 months delayed!!

Car stopped dead with a total power failure in the left lane on [XXX] between NJ/NY. there was no warning light or any other prior notification to attempt to take evasive action. This was at night with other vehicles traveling at high speed on the road as well. Lucky to be alive. The vehicle was towed into the Jeep dealer on Rt 18 in New Jersey and they returned it saying they had applied a "software update." Glad they feel like a software update is worth someone's life.

Driving along with traffic, in the middle lane of a 5 lane highway, a red turtle light suddenly appeared on my dash and my car instantly starting losing speed and acceleration at a very quick rate. On the middle of the dash my screen read "Push Break and Push Button to Start" (which it usually says when I get into my car to start it, but my car was still on and running). I quickly put my hazards on and was able to safely, with very little time, pull off the road to the shoulder as fast as I could. I put my car in park and then turned it off after examining the dash to see if any other lights were on. Nothing new had appeared and the turtle light was gone. I started my car up again, went to put it in Drive, but I could not get...

On two separate occasions while driving my vehicle, I lost the ability to accelerate although my car still appeared to be on and functioning normally. This resulted in me needing to pull over to a complete stop on the highway as the accelerator was completely ineffective and I continued to decelerate to unsafe highway speeds. I had to turn the jeep off and then back on to get it to work normally again. I contacted the dealership regarding this matter and they advised they did an “update” on the vehicle on 6/3/24.

I picked up my new wrangler from the dealer on Friday [XXX]. On Saturday [XXX], I was driving on [XXX] on my way to Amherst, MA. Since I was on the highway, I was traveling between 65-75 mph. About 30 minutes into the trip the vehicle began to jerk and the engine was sputtering. When pushing on the gas pedal the car would jerk and lose any acceleration. I began to slow down as the car jerked and lost all acceleration. I had to pull over on the busy highway as the car could not maintain speed over 30 mph. I luckily was about two miles from a rest area and I drove in the shoulder and exited. The check engine light was on and the engine was making a very loud noise and seemed to be stuck in a high gear. Once we were safely in the parking area,...

Jeep keeps loosing power in electric mode on the highway
#11601156 |
I was driving the car when I believe it was a red wrench w/ a bolt appeared on the dashboard. The car slipped out of gear and stopped running. This happened three while driving it which is a major safety issue. I was headed to the highway and decided to return home. I called the dealership and made a service appt for 6/27/24. A quick google search told me A LOT of people are having this issue and dealerships do not know how to solve it. I took the vehicle in for a diagnostic test which came up clean. The dealer said since it no error codes came up there wasn't anything they could do. Since that time it has not happened again, but I am concerned it will. I don't drive the car often (it's an extra car in the family) - it only has 330 miles on it...
