While driving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe at approximately 40 mph in electric mode with approximately 26% battery charge remaining, the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly lost propulsion. The green indicator on the instrument cluster that normally shows electric operation changed to yellow. Immediately afterward, the Jeep abruptly lost power and began rapidly decelerating. I was NOT applying the brakes. The dashboard displayed "Service Charging System" along with a red warning symbol resembling a charging cord. I was able to get the vehicle off the roadway and into a parking lot. The Jeep then came to a stop. The vehicle remained powered on and the dashboard remained illuminated, but pressing the accelerator produced no response. The Jeep would not move. I turned the vehicle completely off and waited several minutes. When I restarted it, the Jeep started and operated normally again. The Jeep spent approximately three months at an authorized Jeep dealership for multiple electrical/charging system problems and diagnostic trouble codes. During that time, the 12-volt battery was replaced and the Integrated Charging Dual Module (ICDM) was replaced. The Jeep operated normally for approximately three months following those repairs before this incident occurred. This was an extremely serious safety event.

On September 24, 2026, Recall 68C was completed on my Jeep Wrangler 4xe by an authorized Jeep dealership. Following completion of the recall, the first attempt to charge the vehicle resulted in an electrical fire at the charging location. During the charging event, the charger and electrical outlet melted, and the wiring connected to the outlet began to burn. The fire appears to have originated at the charging equipment and outlet. No visible damage occurred to the vehicle itself; however, the charger, outlet, and wiring sustained significant damage. Post-Recall Vehicle Performance Concerns: Since completion of Recall 68C, the vehicle has not operated correctly in Electric Mode. The following conditions were not present prior to the recall service: The internal combustion engine (ICE) repeatedly cycles on and off while the vehicle is displaying "Electric" mode on the instrument panel. Acceleration and overall vehicle performance are significantly reduced. The vehicle experiences severe throttle lag and delayed accelerator response. In some instances, there is little or no throttle response, followed by sudden engine engagement at engine speeds exceeding 3,000 RPM. Vehicle operation in Electric Mode is inconsistent and unpredictable. These performance issues began immediately following completion of Recall 68C and have persisted since the recall service was performed.

While driving my 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe at approximately 70 mph in Hybrid mode the vehicle suddenly and without warning experienced a complete loss of propulsion while I was traveling in traffic. The vehicle would no longer respond normally to the accelerator and I was unable to maintain speed. The Drive (D) indicator began flashing and multiple warning lights and messages appeared on the instrument cluster. I specifically remember the red battery/charging-system warning being illuminated. The dashboard also displayed a warning relating to the power/charging system and a message instructing me to shift or put the vehicle into Park. I had to get the vehicle safely out of moving traffic. This was extremely frightening because the loss of propulsion occurred suddenly at highway speed and could have resulted in a serious collision. This vehicle has previously been brought to an authorized Jeep dealership multiple times for recalls/service involving the battery/electrical/12-volt system. On a previous occasion, the vehicle also failed to start while parked in my garage. After this highway incident occurred and after I was eventually able to get the vehicle operating again, my husband disconnected the 12-volt battery in an attempt to perform a hard reset.

After receiving the 68c recall, which was a software update to protect Jeeps defective HV battery maintenance system, I have experienced two dangerous situations while driving in electric mode. After this recall when driving in electric mode the vehicle will start moving from a stop and then stall. The only way to continue after this high risk delay is to put the accelerator to the floor so the gas engine will kick in. This delay can be a couple seconds. My two circumstances are as follows. Once when crossing an intersection after stopping at a stop sign my jeep moved into the intersection and stalled in the middle of it. There was traffic from the cross road that needed to stop to miss me. The second occurrence was when I was taking a right into moving traffic. Again I was able to enter the road but the Jeep stalled and I was idle as 50 mph traffic was bearing down on me. They too needed to slow to avoid hitting me. The only work around is to not drive in electric mode which is not how the vehicle was intended. Please look into this problem before people are hurt or killed. Thanks

I purchased a new 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe on October 7, 2022, with 15 miles on the vehicle. As of September 19, 2026, the vehicle has 34,764 miles. All safety recalls have been completed: • Recall 53A – May 19, 2023 • Recall 95B – December 12, 2024 • Recall 68C – February 3, 2026 (hybrid battery replaced) • Recall 21D – July 10, 2026 Since the hybrid battery was replaced under Recall 68C in February 2026, I have noticed a significant change in vehicle operation. The vehicle does not remain in Electric mode for very long before automatically switching to gasoline operation. My primary safety concern is delayed acceleration. There is a noticeable pause between pressing the accelerator and the vehicle responding, particularly when accelerating from a stop or entering a highway. This lack of immediate acceleration could create a dangerous situation when quick acceleration is needed to safely enter or merge with traffic. I did not experience this level of delayed acceleration before the hybrid battery was replaced. The change occurred after the battery replacement. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the hybrid battery replacement, hybrid powertrain, or related software may be contributing to the delayed acceleration and unexpected transition from Electric to gasoline operation.

Following completion of the 68C recall/software update around January 31, I noticed a significant change in the performance and drivability of my Jeep Wrangler 4xe. The most noticeable difference was a reduction in acceleration and overall power. The Jeep no longer had the quick, torquey response it previously had, which was one of the primary characteristics that attracted me to the 4xe. At times, pressing the accelerator resulted in noticeable hesitation and very weak acceleration. On one occasion, I pulled into traffic expecting the Jeep to accelerate normally, but it initially did not respond as expected, requiring substantially more throttle to get the vehicle moving. This created a legitimate drivability and safety concern. My impression was that the vehicle's hybrid/electric output had been significantly restricted following the recall update. Based on discussions occurring among other 4xe owners, similar behavior was being described as the vehicle being "nerfed," with reduced electrical output and battery utilization intended to protect the high-voltage battery. Regardless of the cause, the reduction in performance was clearly noticeable compared with how the Jeep drove before the update. In the period leading up to the eventual failure, I also noticed that the Jeep's acceleration felt increasingly abnormal. In retrospect, the change was noticeable enough that I suspected something might be developing before the vehicle ultimately failed. The Jeep later developed a hi

The vehicle’s Hybrid system has been dramatically changed and power has been dramatically decreased following several safety recalls on the vehicle’s Hybrid battery. While my vehicle always passed these recalls and the original battery is still in the car, I believe software upgrades to how the Hybrid system functions have created a safety issue. Specifically, the power the Hybrid system provides has been decreased and the engine is forced to turn on sporadically. This at times happens with a delay, causes issues when merging / getting up to speed, and is an overall safety issue. While I have enjoyed having the vehicle, I believe Jeep needs to address this issue to return the vehicle to closer to its original ability and software package in order to make the vehicle as safe as it originally was. The dealer is unable to assist with this and it is more about Jeep corporate putting in the resources to solve the problem the battery and software package has created.

After the 68C recall was completed, which was a new electric battery, I have had an ongoing issue of losing power when merging back onto a road on city streets as well as onto the hwy. Its very scary to have this loss of power and very dangerous. I also have an issue of short engine runs while in hybrid or electric mode and they seem to be for no reason at all. I can be going the same speed or just barely increase the speed. It may go in and out several times during the drive for no reason at all. I have been told this is not good for the engine. long tern. Now, today I had to get an oil change to get myself out of FORM. I was not due for an oil change. But, I went into form AFTER getting fresh gas and it stayed there for a week. Not sure if it was ever going to go back to being able to use electric or hybrid mode. Also this summer I would go into FORM several times, I purchased this vehicle brand new and I never had this issue the previous 3 summers. It would go out of FORM if I would add gas. But, this time it did not. So, i had to pay for an oil change before actually needing one. I just want my 4xE back to the way it was before the 68C recall. It seems like there may have been a new programing change or something, not sure, but this is NOT the same vehicle I purchased. Losing power is also very dangerous. I am hoping JEEP can make a fix.

After a recent recall (68C) the vehicle performance has greatly deteriorated. The ELEC mode propulsion has been limited, the internal combustion engine (ICE) engages much sooner than previous. Instead of a 'warm-up' cycle for the ICE, it feels as though there is actual clutch engagement, but with limited power. I feel this could have the potential to accelerate engine wear with a 'cold' engine with rapid engagement, as well as increased fuel/oil dilution (inherent with direct injection turbo engines). In turn, causing the vehicle to experience Fuel Oil Refresh Mode (FORM) more frequently, due to short, repetitive engine cycles. Additionally, the regenerative braking has been cut in half, leading to a decrease in electric charger egeneration to the HV battery, as well as decreased range and power. It is most obvious in stop and go traffic, when attempting to pull out in traffic, as well as when attempting to merge onto a highway or interstate. I feel, without intervention, the current vehicle performance will certainly lead to increased mechanical issues, a potential for frequent service department visits, as well as an increased potential for probable incidents/accidents during operation. I understand Stellantis has offered an extended warranty for the HV battery (unlimited years/miles, with limitations). However, Samsung SDI should be pressured to actually fix their HV battery, not replace it with a similar known faulty battery. This vehicle, in my honest opinion, can be mad

My vehicles check engine light came on in the morning when starting the vehicle. It was a solid check engine light not flashing. I proceede to drive the vehicle and while pressing the accelerator the vehicle does not move. the engine done not connect immediatly, this is a hybrid vehicle so it attempts to use both the electrical and gas motors. The engin begins to rev very high and then after somewhere between 5-10 secounds of no power the vechicle jumps forward with the gas engine connecting. I attempt to put the vehicle into gas only mode, but this also does not work as this setting is turned off along with the electrical only mode. Other interior electronics are not working either. When attempting to drive to my local auto parts store to find out the codes for the check engine the vehicle shut off the gas engine preventing the vehicle from accelerating. Then seemingly randomly the engine will kick on and lurch the vehicle forward and then stop and turn off the gas engine again. The safty of myself and other are at risk because of the uncontrolable acceleration or loss of power randomly while driving. The problem has now been reproducable for multiple days. I have reported it to my dealership Bloomington Chrystler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram. And was told they do not have any appointments available and I should wait and should be safe to continue driving.

Post 68C recall, the vehicle performance in all electric mode is greatly diminished. At lower speeds, and electric motor exertion, the vehicle will rapidly and violently switch to combustion power going from 0-3500 rpm’s with no engine warming cycle. Additionally, at 50% battery charge and below, the vehicle can fail to accelerate at all, experiencing a near dead gas pedal, which can be seriously unsafe when attempting to merge or turn into traffic. Based on my experience, these symptoms are exacerbated by warm temperatures, which may be indicative of the manufacturer changing battery temperature thresholds to protect a still defective battery. This vehicle no longer performs as it was advertised and sold to perform following multiple recalls for the same issue. This needs to be resolved once and for all, as it has become a much less safe vehicle to drive as it will switch from ICE to electric unpredictably, causing either rapid, unexpected acceleration or a dead pedal from a stop.

After the 68c recall the power of the electric drive is limited. Frequent power loss occurs on highway driving during acceleration (merging onto highway or passing other cars). Despite the battery being charged up to 50% there is only 25% power available. The car is a plug in hybrid vehicle. The internal combustion engine starts in these cases with several seconds delay. During that time the car does not accelerate sufficiently to safely merge onto a highway or pass other cars. The power loss happens without warning during critical drive situations like merging onto a highway or passing other cars. The driver expects a continuous level of power by the car, not a sudden power loss. This is reported by countless other drivers on all social media platforms as a consequence of the 68C recall that affects 350 000 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe. Jeep does not respond to customer complaints or requests for clarification.

This vehicle is subject to two open NHTSA fire-risk recalls. The remedies provided so far have not corrected the underlying defects. Recall 25V-741 (Safety Recall 95B/68C), high-voltage battery fire risk: On 1/9-20/2025, dealer reprogrammed BPCM and TCM software only (Invoice #52682); no parts replaced; mileage 18,680. On 1/6-7/2026 - one year later - the dealer performed a SECOND remedy for the SAME recall: reprogrammed BPCM, AHCP/HCP, and PCM software only (Invoice #61639); no parts replaced; mileage 31,553-31,561. Reprogramming the same modules twice within 12 months for the same fire-risk recall, with no battery hardware ever replaced, indicates the first remedy failed to correct the defect. The recall notice describes battery pack replacement as a possible remedy "if needed," but this has never been performed.

My 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe High Altitude received FCA Recall 68C. Since the recall was completed, the vehicle has experienced repeated and unpredictable reductions in available propulsion during normal driving. The problem is most noticeable when accelerating to merge onto highways, enter traffic, or pass slower vehicles. During these situations, I depress the accelerator expecting normal acceleration, but the vehicle frequently provides significantly reduced power. There is a noticeable delay before the gasoline engine produces sufficient propulsion, leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate as expected for several seconds. Based on my experience, the condition is significantly worse during hot weather. As outside temperatures increase, the hesitation and reduction in available propulsion appear to occur more frequently and are more pronounced. This has caused me to lose confidence in the vehicle's ability to accelerate when needed. This condition creates a serious safety hazard because surrounding traffic continues at highway speeds while my vehicle is unable to accelerate as commanded. In [XXX], this hazard is particularly acute because many interstate and highway entrance ramps are relatively short, requiring drivers to accelerate quickly to merge safely into traffic traveling at highway speeds. When the vehicle unexpectedly limits propulsion or delays engaging the gasoline engine, there may not be sufficient distance to reach the speed necessary to merge safely, increasing

Supplemental Safety Complaint — Post-68C Recall Throttle Non-Response and Loss of Drive Power — Case 11753417. Supplemental incident report referencing prior NHTSA complaint case number 11753417. August 2, 2026. 75°F ambient temperature, low humidity. Vehicle operated normal for approximately 15 electric miles at 40-55 mph, then with 7 miles remaining EV range, electric drive mode exhibited violent, random transitions to ICE engagement. Critical safety concern: pressing accelerator produced zero throttle response for 1-2 seconds during transitions at several intervals. Driver (spouse) felt unsafe. **This incident demonstrates the post-68C software behavior is triggered by both thermal conditions AND low battery state of charge — not temperature alone as previously documented. A throttle dead zone of 1-2 seconds during normal driving constitutes an unreasonable safety risk under federal standards, particularly during merging and intersection navigation. Requesting NHTSA investigate whether the 68C recall remedy introduced unaddressed safety defects affecting throttle response across the 4xe population.

Following the 68C recall remedy, my vehicle's electric drive mode exhibits intermittent and unsafe power loss during normal operation. Symptoms include sudden RPM spikes, abrupt ICE engagement, loss of drive power with a delay before the gas engine catches, and electric mode becoming temporarily unavailable — occurring unpredictably during stop-and-go traffic, merging, and intersection navigation. I have documented a consistent thermal threshold trigger: symptoms reliably emerge after 10-20 minutes of electric mode operation in ambient temperatures above approximately 80°F, and onset is faster when the battery is warm from prior use. No fault codes are generated because the power limiting appears to be intentional software behavior implemented via the 68C recall remedy — not a malfunction. As a result, dealers scan the vehicle, find no codes, and characterize the behavior as normal operation. Stellantis marketed this vehicle on its electric drive capability. Following the 68C recall, a software update appears to have throttled that capability to protect the battery pack from thermal overload — likely because the cooling system cannot maintain safe battery temperatures under sustained electric load. Jeep now calls this reduced capability "normal operation," effectively de-featuring the vehicle via recall remedy while introducing a new safety risk: unexpected power loss during merging and intersection navigation with a dangerous delay before ICE engagement.

On numerous instances now, while travelling at highway speeds a small bump or uneven surface will cause the vehicle to experience the "Jeep Death Wobble" and will violently shake the entire vehicle out of control unless a rapid deceleration and / or stoppage occurs. I have brought it to a dealer who indicates that they were not able to reproduce the "Shimmy" (they also were unable to perform my safety recalls spite have the vehicle for several days in a row). There is a clear shake, wobble, shimmy, or whatever that is easily reproducible at highway speeds of 50 mph or greater.

I leased this vehicle in April 2023. I have only put 23,000 miles on it and have only had it serviced by the dealership. Months after the start of my lease I experienced the Jeep Death Wobble at speeds in excess of 70 mph with my newborn son in the car. Never having even heard of it, I am extremely lucky that I maintained composure and did not crash. I took the car to the dealership who claimed they repaired in accordingly under my warranty. Since then the death wobble has returned 3 additional times for a total of 4 times in 3 years (the most recent being 6 months ago) with again only 23,000 miles on the car. Each time I have taken the car to the dealership and they have claimed to have repaired the issue. For the past 3 years, I have been plagued with sheer anxiety every time my vehicle goes over 55 mph, never knowing when the wobble will return but always assuming correctly that it will and it has. This is a known issue that I believe has not been able to be directly attributed to crashed because the outcome relies significantly on the drivers reaction to the problem. Had I not remained calm or made any sudden movements with my car each time that this happened, it easily could have been 4 crashes. Multiply that by how many people I know who have or are experiencing this issue and its crazy that Jeep is allowed to continue operating like this.

My oil plug fell out of my jeep. Within minutes all of the oil had splattered underneath and the back of the jeep. The oil lamp went on in my jeep. From the time the oil warning came on to the seizure of the engine was a couple minutes. The jeep went into protection mode or would not allow me to go over 25 minutes. I saw the engine light come on and went straight to Mobil1, the closest place to get oil and they explained there was oil everywhere and no oil plug. I always got oil changes at the jeep dealership and they were the last to service. They were about to close so i tried to get an oil change. There also had been a slow leak in my driveway that i thought was just coolent but after taking a closer look, I believe it was an oil leak.

Nothing has happened. They dont know when they can fix this issue and its a fire issue. The solution now is to park away from buildings, but car theft is high, and break-ins happen all around here, so that in itself is an issue. Should be at a dealer lot waiting for a fix and a loaner should be provided by Jeep.

While driving, my 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe suddenly loses drive power without warning. The car is a plug in hybrid vehicle. The vehicle routinely displays 'Electric Temporarily Unavailable'. When it happens, I press the accelerator and the vehicle does not respond; there is a delay of several seconds with little or no power before the gas engine engages. This is a serious safety hazard — the loss of power is sudden and unpredictable, and the delay leaves me unable to accelerate when merging or pulling into traffic. The condition is reproducible and began after the 68C recall software update. The driver expects a continuous level of power by the car, not a sudden power loss. This is reported by countless other drivers on all social media platforms as a consequence of the 68C recall that affects 350,000 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer multiple times; each visit results in 'no codes found' and 'operating as designed,' and it has not been repaired. Jeep does not respond to customer complaints or requests for clarification.

2023 JEEP Wrangler Sahara 4xe has been recalled several times for battery potential fire risk issues due to faulty hi voltage battery design. Each time, a software patch was applied to provide a 'fix'. With my engineering background, I am very sensitive to machinery and its behavior. I have noticed with each successive update, the power output of the traction battery has been capped or limited to restrict maximum current draw from the battery to prevent over heating. With the latest 68C recall, there is now a clear safety issue. Power is restricted so much, pulling on a highway is dangerous. As I accelerate, battery output climbs to 50%, the engine comes on and there is a significant pause before acceleration can resume safely. Under battery only acceleration, the car bogs down with loss of power. The 4xe no longer resembles the vehicle I purchased. Jeep needs to do a physical remedy to restore original specs or buy back the car, 100% of purchase price. This is a clear safety issue. While Jeep has tried to fix the fire risk, they have created a new safety hazard.

Recurring incident after completion of Jeep recall software update 68C intended to address fire hazard associated with the vehicle's hybrid battery. Since that update, when driving in standard Electric mode, the vehicle experiences a sudden loss of power, hesitation, and a physical 'bogging down'. Following this, the vehicle abruptly surges into combustion engine mode, causing a sudden and unpredictable acceleration lurch just after the vehicle has hesitated to accelerate. It poses a hazard for rear-end collision, attempting to pick up speed (e.g., to pass or move from a vulnerable position) and overall maneuvering and operation of the vehicle.

Driving 75-80mph down the freeway when the car shut off. Had to pull over and shift to park per screen instructions before I could drive again.
