2023 JEEP WRANGLER — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

Steering damper has failed with 45,000 miles on vehilce and causing a dangerous shake on the highway affectionately konw as the "death wobble" among jeep owners. This was recalled in eariler models of my vehicle (2018-2021 4XE) but is occruing the same in my 20234XE. This part should have not worn out already and is causing a dangerous situation.

See attached document for complaint. Dear Jeep Customer Care and Chrysler Capital, I am writing to formally request the termination of my current lease agreement for my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, VIN: 1C4JJXR66PW516923, due to the severe safety risk posed by NHTSA Recall 25V-74 l, concerning the high-voltage battery fire hazard. Due to the severity of this unaddressed safety hazard, I am unable to use the vehicle for its intended purpose. This significant safety defect renders inoperable as designed and intended for use, but more importantly the vehicle is unsafe and unsuitable for normal use, as it risks fire while driving or parked as stated in your recall notice. Your own notices further indicate not charge it as designed for normal function. Furthermore, I live in a townhome surrounded by other families now put at risk and cannot safely park this vehicle outside due to the extreme fire risk, ma.king it impractical and unsafe for my living situation. This also puts others at risk when parked in parking structures at the airport that I frequent on a weekly basis. When the same recall occurred in late 2024, I waited for four months without resolution as Jeep developed a remedy. With the new recall, I immediately contacted Jeep customer service, who informed me on December 3, 2025, that no solution is currently available and none is anticipated until late Ql 2026 (as documented during my call with Riana, case #94898718). I was advised to contact Chrysler Capital regarding a potential lease suspension due to the seriousness of the recall. At 11 :00 am EST, I called Chrysler Capital and spoke with Maren (ID774178). After discussing my living situation and concerns about driving an unsafe vehicle with my I I -year-old son, Maren placed me on hold and subsequently returned to inform me he had obtained approval for not just a lease suspension, but a full early return with no further financial liability. He recommended that I visit my local dealer promptly to process the early lease return and advised me to discontinue f

The hybrid propulsion system in my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe intermittently malfunctions while driving. The “D” (Drive) indicator on the gear selector begins flashing, and the engine RPMs suddenly decrease without warning. During these events, the vehicle loses propulsion power and responsiveness. After several seconds, the vehicle may return to normal operation. This failure affects the hybrid powertrain and transmission system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This condition creates a serious safety risk because the sudden loss of propulsion reduces the vehicle’s ability to accelerate or maintain speed in traffic. This is especially dangerous when merging, crossing intersections, or driving at highway speeds, as it increases the risk of collision due to loss of power and reduced vehicle control. The vehicle has been evaluated by a Jeep dealership service department. The dealership has not provided a permanent repair, and the manufacturer recall affecting the hybrid system remains open and unresolved. The recall repair has not been performed, and the hybrid malfunction continues to occur. The vehicle has been inspected by dealership personnel, but the issue remains unresolved. The dealership indicated that replacing the 12-volt battery may help, but no definitive root cause has been identified, and the hybrid system malfunction continues. There were no battery warning lights prior to or during the failure. The primary symptom is the flashing “D” indicator and sudden decrease in RPMs, followed by temporary recovery. This indicates a malfunction of the hybrid propulsion system. This unresolved hybrid system failure presents an ongoing safety hazard and loss of propulsion while driving.
