2024 Jeep Wrangler complaints

Immediately following a Uconnect software update performed around 11:00 AM on October 11, 2025, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe stalled multiple times while driving on the highway. The vehicle lost power and became inoperable, creating an extremely dangerous situation. I was transporting my child at the time. Trouble Code: P1E1D. Number of Stalls: 3 total (1 on highway, 2 shortly after). The dealer confirmed they had received around 12 other Wrangler 4xe vehicles towed in the same day for the same issue, and another nearby dealer reported over 15. I have since learned through online owner forums that many other 2024 Wrangler 4xe owners are experiencing identical failures after the same software update within the last 48 hours. Jeep/Stellantis has not issued any public statement or safety notice. This is a critical safety hazard affecting many vehicles and should be treated as a potential defect related to the most recent Uconnect update.

After a software update the Jeep has issues with power, it powers off completely and I have to pull over and put it in park, then restart it only to be able to drive .5 mile before it shuts down again.

Installed telematics box module update on 10/10/25. Now the Jeep is continuously saying to service the electronic assistance system and will lose complete power while driving and display the “shift to Park” and service engine light is on (lost power 3 times in less than a 2 mile distance).

After automatic update, the vehicle lost propulsion and stopped at the middle of the road. All lights came on. Lost power steering as well. Restarting the car clears the lights except check engine light. It happened 2 more times on my way home.

After completing an update on the vehicle, I tried driving home and the vehicle started jerking and stopped accelerating in the middle of the road, luckily no cars close behind me but it could have ended badly.

When driving on a main road, my engine suddenly lost power with no advance warning. I was forced to coast to side of the road in order to put it back in Park and restart the engine. This happened 7 times during a 10 mile drive. It continues to happen no matter the distance driven

My vehicle is no longer working properly after the most recent update that happened on 10/10 my vehicle experienced weird sticking/stuttering while accelerating and then fully turned off on the road while driving. It was incredibly dangerous and I’m just glad there wasn’t anyone directly behind me at the time otherwise I would have for sure been rear ended. Now it shuts off every few minutes and the check engine light is on

I updated the uconnect software. After the Jeep ran maybe a block and wanted me to put into park then the jeep engine shuts off you put in park and restart. Engine light is on. Jeep lasts for a block and then all lights flash and goes dead again. Not drivable. Very dangerous I was on a busy road where I couldn’t pull over. Jeep should be ashamed and held accountable

My car shut down while I was driving it. There was an update that my car did which caused it to stall. And then the engine light went off. Took it to the dealer and they did some things. Oil change tire rotation and I thought the recall but maybe not. Picked it up. Drove it out and in our way home it shut down on us in the middle of the road.

Car stopped “bricked” in the middle of freeway. Had gas half full

I am writing to report a critical safety issue involving my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe following the most recent Uconnect system update. After installing the update, my vehicle completely shut off while driving on the highway, putting my entire family in immediate danger. This was not a minor malfunction—our lives were at risk. After researching online and communicating with other Jeep owners, I have learned that this Uconnect-related failure is affecting multiple 2024 4xe vehicles, indicating a widespread and serious defect that must be addressed immediately. I am demanding immediate contact from a senior executive or engineer to discuss this issue, next steps for resolution, and assurance that Jeep will take full responsibility for this safety hazard. If I do not receive a prompt response, I will be escalating this matter through legal channels and reporting it to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for investigation.

After an update Jeep sent out on October 10, 2025, my Wrangler suddenly stalled while driving. I lost power steering, brakes, and total control of the vehicle. It forced me to shift to park. I had to drive home in limp mode, barely making it. My car is unable to be driven. It is a hazard. Thousands of others are having the issue as well — while on the freeway. This is deadly. Jeep has not put out any information. We are left without vehicles.

Uconnect software update caused the car to stall and for CEL to turn on. While in D, got a message to shift to P to go back into drive. This is widespread across 2024 4xe vehicles and is a major, major hazard to drivers and drivers of other vehicles. If one of these goes dark on a highway, it could lead to serious injury or even death. Horrible.

After a system software update the vehicle bricked. Driving and engine would stop. Check engine light appeared as well as other lights.

On 10/10/2025 there was an OTA update to the telematics/Uconnect system in my car. After it finished the car shut off while I was driving it multiple times. I lost all power and had to coast to the side of the road. This is extremely unsafe. Everyone that did the update is having this issue.

Diving when alert came on that said service charging system and vehicle was going to be disabled. With in seconds vehicle powered off. I was barely able to pull off and part of my vehicle was still stuck sticking out on a busy road. Vehicles check engine light came, battery light and a message about the charging system. Has to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. I was told this was the 4th jeep towed there today after yesterday’s update.

Performed software update yesterday evening while driving. Stopped to get gas and software update completed. Stopped to get food and when I got back into my car, check engine light came on and car abruptly emergency braked and powered off while in drive. Had to change drive mode to e save to make it home. Attempted to drive again and car lost power and came to a halt every other minute. Had to turn car off, turn back on wherever it halted. In the middle of traffic. Almost caused an accident several times. I have video.

After a software update, the car would drive a few miles and then shut down in the middle of driving. You would be required to stop the car, put it in park, and restart the car. The car check engine light comes on and is in a crawl mode, with little acceleration. This is a wide spread issue across all 2024 Jeep Wranglers 4xe

After i updated software last night, the car stopped in the middle of the road. The shift was flashing and check engine light came on saying “put in park” it happened 4 time as of now. I have to turn off the car and turn it back on the put in drive.

After installing the latest OTA update (U37.23-PROD), my Wrangler 4xe displayed “Service Hybrid System” and lost power while driving on the highway. The vehicle entered reduced-power mode, forcing me to continue using only the gas engine with limited acceleration. This is a safety issue. The problem started immediately after the OTA update. Diagnostic codes: U0594, P0A45, P1E1D. Please escalate this to Stellantis Technical Operations and confirm if a software reprogram (TSB 08-029-23) is available for my VIN. This situation created a serious safety concern while traveling 300 miles from home on a weekend with no Jeep dealers open.

After an Update, the Jeep died completely in the middle of the road with a bunch of errors on the dash and would not restart. After about 10 minutes, it restarted but died again shortly after. A third try a while later and it ran in manual transmission mode to where we could get it home. Check engine light is on and vehicle is still acting odd.

What a scary experience I had today. Backing out of a parking spot, my jeep jerked and the Drive signal started flashing. The engine light turned on. Thank goodness I did not hit anyone or anything. My jeep had an automatic uconnect update yesterday. The jeep had to be towed because I was told by my Jeep service dealership where I got it, that it was unsafe to drive. I was out of state and had to use several Ubers and rent a car to get back home.

Following last nights software update, this morning while driving car alert beeped and dash read “shift to P to start” and engine light came on. I restarted and engine light on. Car seemed to be in electric and gas mode at the same time.

My car will abruptly lose all power will driving down the road and the dash directs you to put it in park and restart the vehicle. This requires coming to a complete stop in the middle of the roadway. This happened 10x in a 30 mile drive and at times at highway speeds. Forcing me to either stop in the middle of the freeway or hope i can get to the side of the road to pull off. This is extremely dangerous and from my early research this is happening to all 4xe wranglers after a failed update last night. Jeep is advising people to drive the car in gas mode (which it does not have) but all 3 hybrid modes have the same result. Someone is going to be seriously injured or killed because of this issue. Nobody should be driving these vehicles like this and i dont know what my 18 year old daughter would have done if she was driving on the highway. This emergency needs immediate attention not the response from Jeep that they will “look into it monday”

After my UCONNECT software updated today 10/11/25 my car has not been driving right since. I can’t drive more than 20ft without it stopping flashing “shift to p” all my gears are lighting up i put the car into park with my foot on the break it flashes 3 different other issues then reverts back to my MPH, i am not able to shift it back into drive i have to then turn the car completely off then turn it back on shift it into drive. Happened on a major road with heavy traffic NOT SAFE. i managed to do a hard factory rest and drove it on E-SAVE which i was able to get the car to my house without having to pay $350 for towing. I’m praying it can get me to work on monday and this will be fixed by then because i cannot afford to miss work let alone pay for a rental due to JEEPS MISTAKE!! I pay a lot of money for this car which is a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe with less than 20k miles never had any other issues with it until now. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Had an update, and now the Jeep is flashing lights everywhere, there was a thud, and it won’t drive. If this happened while I was driving, it could have caused a big issue and accident.

Last night my Jeep Wrangler 4xe had a automated over the air software update come up on the screen. As normal i pressed update so the computers updated themselves. This morning I was approximately .5miles away from my house (first time driving since update), and I got multiple warning lights and errors on the dash. THE MOTOR THEN TURNED OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I pulled over, I was able to get the vehicle restarted and turned around. I made it about 1000feet from my house when the car TURNED OFF COMPLETLEY AGAIN. This time it would not restart. Luckily I was able to coast onto a side street off of a busy main road. I had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer. I later learned that Jeep pushed this update out and this same thing happened to THOUSANDS of 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. Myself, my wife and my infant son could have been killed due to Jeep's negligence and carelessness, there is no way that a software update should be pushed out without it being tested and vetted. Oh and the dealers have no solutions or loaners so I am already out $300 for a 3-day rental.

Jeep released an update for uconnect box. After it was automatically installed my Jeep wrangler lost engine power and steering while in the middle of a round about. Barely had enough momentum to make out of the closest round about exit and no power to pull off the road. Dashboard flashed shift into park. Shifted into park and restarted the engine. Turned off the main road and it died again. This did it 3 more times trying to drive home. This is extremely dangerous since you lose steering and engine power. This could kill someone on a turn, highway, or intersection.

After accepting a prompted Uconnect over-the-air (OTA) software update, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe began experiencing complete loss of motive power while driving. The vehicle suddenly lost acceleration capability and had to be restarted multiple times. I took the vehicle to McPeek’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Anaheim, CA, where technicians confirmed that multiple Wrangler 4xe vehicles had arrived the same day with the same failure following the same Uconnect update. The dealership performed a rollback to the previous software version, but the issue was not resolved. During the post-rollback road test, the technician confirmed that engine and propulsion issues persisted, and my service advisor advised that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. As a result, the Jeep was not released back to me and remains at the dealership pending further direction from Stellantis engineering. Diagnostic codes reported by other affected owners and visible in forums include U0293-00 (Lost communication with hybrid control module), U0010-00 (CAN bus communication failure), and P1E1D-00 (Hybrid control processor fault), which appear consistent with a communication breakdown between the Uconnect and hybrid powertrain systems. Jeep Customer Care has opened case #[XXX] for this incident and is coordinating with the dealer. This appears to be a safety-related defect, as the vehicle can unexpectedly lose power while in motion. Dealer: McPeek’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 1221 S Auto Center Dr, Anaheim, CA 92806

I installed an update last night and today the vehicle just shuts off on it own. Looks like jeep stellantis pushed an updated that they clearly did no testing on. P1e1d-00 is the code when I scan. I can no longer drive my jeep.

After doing the unconnect update on Oct 10, while the vehicle was driving it bricked (stopped moving, everything went off). Causing a near accident with our entire family in the car - young children involved! We pulled over and turned it off then back on again and we're in limp mode for a while when it bricked AGAIN this time in the middle of an intersection. This is a BRAND NEW Jeep and has barely been driven. Absolutely horrific!

October 11, went to the grocery store and parked. Upon shutting off the vehicle, it asked to push an update. I said ok, plugged the charger into the charging station and went shopping. About an hour later I left the parking lot. Made it 200 yards and the vehicle shutoff and started to come to an abrupt stop. I was in a 40 mph zone, and the person behind laid on their horn and swerved. My vehicles check engine light came on, and it was still in drive with the dashboard displaying a flashing D. I put it in park, shut it off and put the flashers on. Once I restarted, CE light was still on, but it let me put it into drive and move. I made it another 200 yards and it did the same thing. Pulled over again and parked. This time, I selected e-save to run on fuel. It was driving a little strange to me, but I was able to make it home (4 miles) safely. I’ll be taking it into the shop as soon as I possibly can.

Check engine light activated then intermittent loss of power while in motion or while stopped. Forced to restart engine. Happened after over the air update of Telemetrics box module update.

After a recent over the air software update the vehicle will just shut off while while driving with no way to accelerate or maintain speed. The vehicle just coasts to a stop.This caused me to have to stop in traffic, shift to park and restart the vehicle. This has been happening consistently since the software update on 10/10/25. I am going to have the vehicle towed to the dealership as it's not safe to drive since it will only go a half mile between shutting down. Jeep acknowledged the issue on a forum dedicated to Jeep wrangler. This issue is impacting many jeeps that received the update.

Performed uconnext update last night and this morning car completely lost power on the highway. Power steering also did not work and unable to provide gas to car to accelerate. Dead stopped on highway. Dealership then tells me it is “safe to drive but will continue stalling out”

Car is locking up and saying “press P to start” and shift gear lights start blinking. Check engine light is also on

While driving my vehicel, seems that an update were installed that caused a sudden hard stop, the check engine signal turned on and the system asked to change from D to P. We had the fortune that it was in traffic, so the vehicle was almost stopped. After a restart, I was able to drive but 3 minutes later... It happened again. I was not being able to accelerate and the system asking to change to Parking while driving at 30 MPH. I was driving with my family and it was hard for us because my daughter feels unsecured. How is it possible that an update broke some vehicles?

Vehicle suddenly dropped in speed. Only able to go about 10 mph. CEL and received Electronic Stability Control error. Was able to get car home and CEL message eventually off. Drove it again but found that it would shut down about every 10 miles. Would have to stop the car, shut it off, then could drive it another 10 miles. And the CEL did come back on.

Immediately after downloading the Uconnect 10/10/25 update, as requested by my Jeep, the car immediately lost all power, shutting completely off in 6pm traffic. This problem on 10/11/25 has been posted all over social media. Took the jeep to the dealership for service and they said they have no information from Stellantis about this occurring. No warnings prior to downloading update. We could have been killed.

After an over the air update, when driving the vehicle all of the sudden thought the car was parked and lost all power. After coming to an immediate uncontrolled stop, I was able to shift into park and then drive again however due to the issue and many others reporting I am not comfortable driving above 25 MPH.

A software updated completed while I was driving and not 15 seconds later my jeep lost power and told me to shift into park. I carefully pulled over. Stopped the vehicle. Put it in park. And then restarted it. Drove about 30 seconds and it happened again. Check engine light is now on too.

After traveling a short distance, the vehicle will shut down, lose all power and require you to restart. At which time the process repeats, short distance of travel with sudden loss off all vehicle functions. There is some indication that this is due to a software issue pushed in an ota update.

My 2024 Jeep Wrangler stopped in the road as my husband was driving. On the dash it said to shift to park. And push start. When he did it would not move. He had it in drive and was stuck in the road for about 2 minutes. We are so thankful that no one hit us as we were just over a hill.

On 10/10/25, an Uconnect update appeared on info center console. I pressed the update now button and went into a store. After re-entering my vehicle, I drove one block and a message appeared on the dash that stated ‘Service Charging System’. At the same time as this message appeared while driving, the car abruptly shut down in traffic, nearly causing a collision with a vehicle behind me. After trying to restart for about 25 minutes, the car restarted and I was able to drive to my destination. On the morning of 10/11/25, I started to drive the vehicle to the mechanic. After about a minute of driving, the check engine light came on. Then about 2 minutes later, the vehicle abruptly shut down while driving, again nearly causing another collision. A message displayed to shift in park and restart. I followed these directions as I also made a call to the dealership to advise of this issue. The vehicle restarted and I was able to drive for another minute and vehicle shut down again while on the phone with the dealership. On the way to the mechanic, this issue happened several times more. Steering was also lost during this issue. Many complaints online are of this issue. Mechanic pulled codes as well.

The car while driving just stopped and instructed me to put it in park engine electrical malfunction.

The car got a uconnect update tonight. 30 minutes later, when driving the car for the first time since the update, the car shut off while in drive going 30mph. The car loses power, tells you to shift to park. Turning the car off and on enabled it to drive for a while longer, but the same thing happened again. The check engine light is on, and it's giving a number of code errors around the hybrid controller.

Loss of propulsion while driving. Vehicle went into neutral and forced to pull over and restart the engine. This is due to a bad software update that jeep updated over the air just minutes earlier. This is being reported by hundreds of users on various forums on Reddit and Facebook.

I parked to go into the grocery store and a message popped ip about an update. I clicked update now and the screen went black and the vehicle shut off. I left the store and in the middle of the road the whole jeep lunged forward and shut off. It said to go into park and turn on the vehicle. I drive slow home and my husband tried to take a look and drove it around our complex and it did the same to him and would not allow him to go over 15 miles an hour and that was pedal to the floor. It is now parked in our complex away from other cars as I’m in fear it might ignite as that is a popular issue with the 4xe. I have had the radio replaced due to a malfunction and it was warranty. I fear there is an electrical malfunction.

Did a software update on my car. Afterwards I turned it on and it started up really rough then a couple minutes later it shut off.

After a software update tonight, the jeep shut down while driving, loosing all power, and indicating to shift the vehicle to park. after that restarted the vehicle and got CEL code P1E1D and the vehicle went into limp mode.
