Since the 68C Recall software update was performed on my Jeep, the vehicle has experienced recurring, unexpected losses of motive power while driving in Electric Mode. During these events, pressing the accelerator yields no response. Moments later, an "Electric Mode Unavailable" warning displays, followed by the gasoline engine starting and causing the vehicle to surge forward. This phenomenon occurs unpredictably—typically when the hybrid battery charge drops below 45–50%—and has occurred twice in the past week alone, nearly causing a rear-end collision each time. I previously submitted the vehicle to the dealership for repair, but no corrective action was taken. The dealership advised that the vehicle operates normally according to post-recall software parameters designed to prevent battery overheating. However, forcing an unprompted loss of motive power in active traffic creates a critical safety hazard.

My jeep has been in the shop MULTIPLE times for a check engine light. Approximately 7-8 times. I've always been told, it's just giving 2-3 different codes and it's nothing to worry about. About a month ago, I was driving my Jeep and it just stopped running. I was sitting in the middle of a very busy intersection. I could not put it in natural to push it to the side of the road, I couldn't get it started, it was just doing nothing. For approximately 45 mins It sat in the middle of an intersection with people yelling at me, beeping at me, etc... When my wife arrived to help me get my stuff out of the vehicle, I tried it one more time and it started up. I then drove it immediately to the dealership. Every light on the dashboard was lit up and the engine was revving like a lawn mower. Got it to the dealership AGAIN was told the whole EV battery needed to be replaced. It's a 2024 Wrangler 4XE with around 15,000 miles on it. I think it's been in the shop longer than I've actually driven it the past couple of year. I will never buy another Jeep product.

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe models. Sudden loss of power while driving up hill in the electric mode. It would not go over 59 miles per hour and then it switched over to hybrid all on its own. This happened a few times and I could not go fast enough on the freeway. The next week the check engine light was on along with, engine warning light: service battery charging system and it would not start. I have a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sahara. All recalls are up to date. My jeep suddenly lost acceleration while I was driving. It happened more than once, including a frightening situation when my vehicle rapidly slowed from approximately 65-59-45. My Jeep was subsequently towed to the dealership.

I recently took my Jeep Wrangler in for 3 recalls last week and as soon as I got it back, my vehicle was not driving correctly after the 68c software update was completed. It feels like it is stuck in the wrong gear when driving and comes to a rapid stop even on highway when I let my foot off the gas without braking. I'm afraid this will cause me to get rear ended wreck. It feels like I'm driving with the emergency brake on at all times. It uses so much more gas that before the recall. My father took my vehicle in for the recall because I have been out of state working and he noticed the issue as soon as he tried to drive off. He took it back and told them it was not driving correctly and worried and they said it was fine and ignored the issue. I feel I can not drive my vehicle anymore for safety reasons.

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 accelerating uphill. This creates serious safety risks because drivers need reliable acceleration to safely navigate traffic and avoid collisions. The reduced power makes it difficult to match highway speeds or respond quickly to changing road conditions. I am extremely concerned that a recall intended to address a high-voltage battery safety issue may have introduced another safety hazard by significantly restricting electric propulsion performance. This is not simply a customer dissatisfaction issue. It directly affects vehicle safety and my confidence in operating the vehicle in electric mode. I request that NHTSA investigate whether Recall 68C introduced software restrictions affecting electric-motor power and acceleration, determine whether other Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners face similar risks, and require Stellantis to provide an effective remedy. A safety recall should not create additional h

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 concern on future engine wear from cold starts at speed.

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 an unexpected delay in vehicle speed control. I have experienced this scenario multiple times and also when merging onto the hwy. There were no warning lamps or messages. When discussed with the dealership, I was told that this is now the normal operation of the vehicle, but would not explain what changes were made or how it works. This is unacceptable and can put myself or other Jeep 4xe owners at risk.

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 for update and no one will return our call. Ally financial says they can't do anything until investigation is complete. Personal insurance will cover, but should not have to, as this is a known issue and was at the Jeep dealership on their charger.

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 combustion engine (ICE) then engages prematurely at unusually high RPMs to compensate for the lack of electric propulsion. This results in delayed and inconsistent acceleration. Additionally, the vehicle struggles to accelerate beyond approximately 55 MPH while operating in Electric mode. When attempting to accelerate further, the vehicle eventually displays "Electric Mode Not Available" and disables Electric mode for the remainder of the drive. Before Recall 68C, the vehicle operated at highway speeds in Electric mode without these limitations. Despite these repeatable symptoms, the vehicle does not illuminate a check-engine light or produce observable diagnostic trouble codes. The electric propulsion and powertrain systems remain installed and available for inspection. The cause has not been independently confirmed. These conditions create a serious safety concern when merging onto highways

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 degraded behavior is “normal operation.” Please investigate whether the recall remedy introduces an unreasonable propulsion safety risk, whether the changes and risks were adequately disclosed, and whether a further corrective remedy is needed. For context, see this video and others on the same YouTube channel, including extensive owner comments discussing changes after Recall 68C: [XXX] These are reported owner experiences; I am not claiming every symptom occurred in my vehicle but many of these have been experienced by me personally.

This has happened on multiple occasions. While driving in Hybrid mode and the battery power reaches 0% there is a very sudden and dramatic drop in speed/power. Especially jarring at highway speeds. Yesterday was on the highway at 60+mph and it was like the engine died for 2 seconds or so while the car was switching power modes or draw. This is becoming more frequent with this vehicle and the modes it occurs in seem to be increasing as well. All Battery mode was when first noticed - but I don’t know the trigger. This time was Hybrid mode where the trigger seemed to be the battery running out of juice and activating the ICE. Unsafe. Scary.

My 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe had the 68C recall completed. Since completion of the recall, I have experienced intermittent and significant loss of acceleration/power, particularly when driving on an incline. During a recent incident, while traveling on an inclined section of the interstate highway, the vehicle was operating in hybrid mode. The vehicle did not provide the expected acceleration and appeared to lose power despite the accelerator being fully depressed. After several seconds, the vehicle switched to the gasoline engine and then suddenly accelerated with a noticeable jerk. This behavior creates a significant safety concern. A sudden loss of acceleration followed by unexpected acceleration can make it difficult for the driver to maintain control and can create a dangerous situation, particularly in highway traffic. I have also experienced this type of loss of acceleration during highway merging. When merging onto a highway, the driver relies on the vehicle responding predictably to accelerator input in order to reach an appropriate speed and maintain a safe distance from approaching traffic. If acceleration is unexpectedly lost after entering or while merging into traffic, vehicles approaching from behind can close the distance much faster than anticipated, substantially increasing the risk of a collision. The problem appears to have started after completion of the 68C recall. I believe the loss of propulsion/acceleration and the subsequent sudden acceleration w

This is my 5th Jeep over many years. I have the Wrangler Jeep 4 Xe 2024 model that is pristine kept. There have been over 5 recalls of different matters and there is still a recall outstanding from OCTOBER of 2025. Although this car is marketed for rough terrain (which I do not do), it has been in the shop for many times- some with Safety Recalls to include Risk of Fire, Loss of Power and explosion. Some advising me NOT to charge the vehicle near a structure. The brand has not stood behind their brand and advised me to rent a car (at my expense until they reimburse me). The lease/purchase is for a SAFE, RELIABLE source of transportation yet the manufacture does not stand behind their product and is leaving it to the inconvenience of me to rectify their shortfalls. I have not been offered any compensation for a higher level vehicle that I leased (hybrid) to exit my lease and settle to lease a vehicle that is of better quality. I have maintained all paperwork for documentation to a class action suit that I joined, but it would be better for all parties to settle amicably in a private forum.

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 completely, creating an imminent safety hazard for myself and others. The vehicle has been sitting at the dealership since then. There are also other active recalls on the vehicle that put myself and others in danger. Parking in a garage or near a structure are not permitted. It is also not safet to charge.

Since the completion of the 68c recall, my Jeep has a concerning issue: when driving in “electric” mode for about 15-20 minutes, the available power starts to decline. Despite pressing on the accelerator it continues to decline for about 10-15 seconds. Then the screen displays “Electric Mode Temporarily Unavailable”, the ICE starts and engages (with no warmup) and the Jeep switches to “Hybrid” mode. This all happens despite there being a 40%+ charge remaining on the battery and ambient temperature being less than 70 degrees F. I believe the 10-15 seconds of reduced power poses a significant safety risk in a situation such as passing a vehicle or pulling out in traffic.

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 right and out of the travel lanes. This is the FOURTH time this vehicle has experienced a sudden loss of power/Turtle Mode condition. The problem is intermittent and occurs without sufficient warning to safely remove the vehicle from traffic. Warning indicators/messages associated with the reduced-power condition appeared when the failure occurred. The vehicle was previously taken to an authorized Jeep dealership for this same recurring problem and remained there for approximately one month. The dealership was unable to determine the cause of the repeated Turtle Mode/loss-of-power condition and was unable to provide a repair that resolved it. The manufacturer’s customer care department was also contacted regarding the problem, but the case was subsequently closed even though the condition had not been resolved. Following the incident, Jeep Roadside Assistance was contacted and the vehicle

My 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe was brought to an authorized Jeep dealership on July 25, 2026 for recall/warranty-related issues. The vehicle currently has approximately 17,000 miles and has remained continuously in the dealership's possession since July 25. As of September 21, 2026, the vehicle has been unavailable to me for approximately 58 days and has still not been repaired or returned. The dealership has verbally informed me that the vehicle requires replacement of both the engine and the high-voltage battery. However, I have not been provided the specific recall campaign numbers in writing. According to the dealership, the repair has been substantially delayed while waiting for the necessary parts from Jeep/FCA. The vehicle remains at the authorized dealership and is available for inspection. I am concerned that safety-related defects serious enough to require replacement of both the engine and high-voltage battery have left this vehicle unusable for nearly three months, with no completed repair and no firm return date. I am reporting this because Jeep/FCA has been unable to complete the required recall-related repairs within a reasonable period. The vehicle has been inspected and diagnosed by an authorized Jeep dealership, which continues to retain possession of it. I am requesting that NHTSA review this extended repair delay and Jeep/FCA's ability to provide the required safety-recall remedies and replacement parts in a timely manner.

When driving in electric mode, mainly on a highway, the gas engine will kick on many times for short runs when it never did before. Also, when running on electric, the power or low-end torque has been very much noticeably diminished. This is of concern when merging and pulling out onto a highway. I just want my Jeep 4XE to operate as it did prior to the 68C recall being done.

Having an on-going issue that happens nearly every time I operate the vehicle. Post "68C" recall, the jeep's software has nerfed the power of the vehicle. It doesn't accelerate well, will not maintain speed, loses electric power (and switches to ICE) very frequently even when there is plenty of charge left, and creates a dangerous situation when driving in traffic. Up-hill is a battle and even on flat roads the jeep will often not accelerate even when the pedal is pressed all the way to the ground. I have brought the vehicle in to the dealership multiple times, the last time after it lost all power while on the highway. A "Star" case was opened with Stellantis who responded, in writing, that the vehicle is operating as expected. This is not the same vehicle I purchased in 2023 and I am beyond angry and often times scared that something might happen where I cannot react fast enough or am in a situation where the loss of power will endanger myself or others. To be clear, this has been happening for MONTHS since the 68C recall work was performed.

Since taking my Jeep to the dealership for the 68C recall, 12/22/2025, I have noticed a significant decrease in both power and electric performance. Before the recall, while driving in Hybrid mode with a fully charged battery, I could travel to a town approximately 20 miles away and remain in electric mode for most of the trip there and back. Since the recall was completed, the vehicle no longer stays in electric mode for very long. The internal combustion engine (ICE) now engages much sooner than it used to, and even a slight hill or gentle curve in the road will cause the ICE to turn on to maintain speed. In addition, the battery charge is being depleted much faster than before. I am no longer able to make it home before the battery is depleted, which never happened prior to the recall. I have also experienced a potentially dangerous issue on two occasions since the recall. When pulling out from a stop onto a roadway or through an intersection, the vehicle hesitated and would not move forward immediately when I pressed the accelerator. After a noticeable delay, the vehicle finally accelerated. This hesitation creates a safety concern, especially in traffic situations where other drivers are expecting the vehicle to move promptly. When I purchased the vehicle, it had excellent acceleration and strong performance in electric mode. It had the immediate responsiveness and "pick-up-and-go" power that attracted me to the vehicle in the first place. Since the recall, that performa

Our wrangler was taken in to get the 68C recall done and once we finally got the vehicle back the electric driving mode had significantly less power to the point where the vehicle showed it was limited to 43-45kw of power output to the electric motors which resulted in a top speed of about 67-70mph until it completely failed and said "electric mode temporarily unavailable" on the dash. It then stumbles and restarts after a brief pause thag causes the vehicle to slow down to 55-58mph and then the vehicle can accelerate again only on gasoline power. This problem is easily repeatable and seems to be directly tied to a major software update limiting power output of this vehicle compare to the original power numbers of when we purchased this vehicle.

After Jeep performed the 68C recall on my vehicle, in Electric mode, when driving at 55mph and trying to merge from a service road on to a highway the vehicle power is actually reduced and the vehicle slows down when you press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor trying to get up to highway traffic speed (65-70mph). In this state, the vehicle will actually lose speed dropping from 55mph to 52 mph and will not increase speed past 52mph even with the accelerator pedal pressed all the way to the floor. This is a super dangerous condition which caused me to nearly get rear-ended by the vehicle behind me on the acceleration ramp the first time it happened (which was the first time I drove the 4XE on a highway after the 68C recall was performed). This is a repeatable situation if you drive in electric mode and try to merge on to a highway and need to accelerate from a slower service road speed up to highway speed. The same also happens when driving on a highway in electric mode and need to pass someone, the vehicle actually slows down if you press the accelerator pedal causing a backup of vehicles behind you that are now trying to pass my vehicle. Before Jeep performed the 68C federal recall, you could accelerate from any lower speed up to 75mph in electric mode without any issue.

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe purchased new November 2024. Recall 68C (NHTSA 25V741000) software update performed December 2025 at 12,524 miles. None of this occurred in the first 13 months of ownership. It all began immediately after 68C. My 7.6-mile commute (4 miles at 35-45 mph, the rest at 55-60 mph) was previously driven entirely in Electric mode. The vehicle now cannot sustain Electric mode past about 5 miles. It first suffers a sharp power loss where it lags and stops responding to the accelerator, then displays "Electric Mode Temporarily Unavailable," skips the normal warm-up transition, and the gas engine surprise-starts and revs harshly to take over. This repeats on any drive sustained above 55 mph. Before 68C I routinely drove 70 mph on the interstate in Electric mode; that is now impossible. The same power loss and abrupt engine start happens on hills the vehicle handled fine before, so hilly routes are off limits. Accelerator sensitivity also changed: moderate acceleration from a stop now starts the gas engine. I am not a heavy-footed driver. In the first year before 68C this happened exactly once, during an emergency full-throttle input to avoid a collision. The most dangerous symptom occurs in both Hybrid and Electric modes: random throttle lag and lurch.

The dealership service manager, at the time of pick up, stated the vehicle passed the test and no further action was required. I do not know what action was taken but something adverse has happened. Since receiving the vehicle back, when driving in electric mode and without warning, it now randomly loses power. Applying more pressure to the accelerator does not restore power immediately. After a couple of seconds delay, the gasoline engine kicks in to provide power, but that two second delay is enough to trigger a collision when pulling out into traffic, or a rear-end event when power is unexpectedly lost on straight-aways. In nearly three years of ownership, this problematic behavior never occurred even once until the 68c recall remedy was applied.

After the 68C recall work, my Jeep Wrangler 4xe no longer feels safe to drive. The vehicle no longer performs the way it did when I purchased it and now frequently behaves erratically, putting my wife and me in situations that are unsafe on public roads. Some of this behavior also appears potentially harmful to the vehicle’s components. Personal safety concerns: On multiple occasions, the vehicle has limited available power to approximately 10–15%, leaving me unable to accelerate normally. This has happened more times than I can count. The most concerning instances have occurred while making left turns across traffic, crossing intersections, and accelerating onto higher-speed roads such as highways. At other times, I have been honked at, yelled at, or flashed by drivers because the vehicle would not accelerate or maintain speed as expected. Equipment safety concerns: The only way I have found to restore power is to press the accelerator to the floor. Doing so causes the internal combustion engine (ICE) to start immediately, bypassing its normal warm-up period and placing the engine under significant load while still cold. This has happened repeatedly at speeds from 0–45 mph, even when the battery was above 50%. General performance issues: While driving in electric mode, the vehicle now automatically switches to hybrid mode in situations where it never did before the recall work.

The vehicle is experiencing several issues: When accelerating on the highway, propulsion suddenly cuts out. Another issue is that, at times, the engine starts at high RPMs—even when the hybrid battery is charged—without any warm-up period; the engine RPMs then begin to fluctuate on their own. This latter behavior could lead to engine wear or unexpected failure, as the engine fires up at high speeds and begins charging without allowing the oil to properly lubricate the engine components. These issues almost always occur between 40 and 45 mph while the hybrid battery is charged, and the problem began following the "Recall 68C" service campaign.
Complaints 1-50 of 753, newest first, reproduced as filed.
It is not among the Wrangler years to avoid. Owners filed 753 complaints, against about 407 for a typical Wrangler year. The most common complaint is about the electrical system (37%).
What is the most common problem with the 2024 Jeep Wrangler?
The electrical system: 278 of the 753 complaints (37%) are about it. Owners most often say it loses power (26%), turns on the check engine light (24%) and stalls (13%). The typical report comes at 15,000 miles.
How many recalls does the 2024 Jeep Wrangler have?
11 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Jun 4, 2026. 2 of them carry a do-not-drive or park-outside warning. The largest, 26V363000, covered 1,076,999 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.
At what mileage do 2024 Jeep Wrangler problems start?
Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 15,000 miles.
Has NHTSA investigated the 2024 Jeep Wrangler?
Yes, once. RQ24012 ("Loss of Motive Power") was opened Jul 5, 2024 and is still open.
Are there service bulletins for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler?
The manufacturer filed 438 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the electrical system (135), the body and frame (70) and the engine (57). They include a warranty extension, 09-009-26, filed May 13, 2026. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.
Reading this record
Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
