The first instance of this issue occurred on June 1, 2024, while driving to my daughter-??s soccer tournament. My Jeep abruptly shut off in the middle of the freeway, displaying a -??prepare to stop-?? warning, and left me stranded on the side of the road. The vehicle would not restart for 30 minutes. Since then, this problem has occurred five times, creating unsafe and unpredictable situations. I am constantly worried about the vehicle-??s reliability, as it has placed me in frightening and dangerous circumstances. Despite the severity of the issue, Jeep has been unable to resolve the problem and has not provided a loaner vehicle. This is a matter of safety, not convenience, and it requires immediate attention.

The instrument cluster screen panel went black without any warning. No information, just a solid black screen. I could not determine vehicle speed, fuel level, or see warnings/alerts for tire pressure, oil or transmission function. Vehicle is still in possession of dealership and not repaired.

Purchasd in January 2024 similar incident reported twice, early 2024 and now this date 12/2/24. Incident includes vehicle warning to -??stop Vehicle. Engine will shut down-?? followed by errant warning gauges going off, cameras, speedometer other indicators not working. Twice brought to dealer. First time they could not verify condition. Now I at dealer again for incident service. Pending. Seems to be a recurring problem dating years back with no resolution from Jeep. A very unsettling issue as to safety and drivability of vehicle.

[XXX] driving car that we have owned for approximately 2 months 280 miles on busy road 4 way intersection at light stopped waiting for the turn left when car jolts as though we were rear ended but not. Then stops completely and shuts down with no indication of what is happening. Put hazard lights on trying ro get some control of car the system shut down and appeared to reboot taking 10 minutes. Very scary situation fortunately we were not in a high speed. Luckily the car started but now had an engine light on. Made it home contacted Arrigo dealer in West palm, fl but no calls back. Contacted the service department the next day 11/11/24. They ran tests and said it needed a software update. Not sure why there was no notification and car dangerously shuts down. Picked up car on 11/12/24 to have Juan Gascon assure us it will not happen again. Not feeling great after reading info online. They did send a video from service had trouble uploading. Saved it INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Continued electrical over discharge resulting in battery failure. Problem remains undiagnosed by dealer, multiple engine / transmission / seat malfunction error codes. Hybrid engine does not take over driving as operated. Concerned this may present as a fire hazard for one as electrical systems are not communicating in a hybrid vehicle. Secondary concern that the vehicle will suddenly lose power while driving at put driver and others at risk of accident. This problem has occurred more than three times since ownership. Vehicle has been owned less than 1 month and was purchased brand new. Initial problem occurred within less than 600 miles of ownership. Vehicle starter battery has been significantly discharged since ownership under normal operations. Was initially advised by the Jeep dealership that 'the wrong battery was installed at the factory' and that changing the battery would solve the issue. Shortly after this service (approximately one week), the problem occurred again. Further diagnostics have remained unclear without resolution via the dealer.

My leased vehicle has been recalled for lighting on fire while off- I can not park in my garage or near my house. The performance of the vehicle is dependent on it being hybrid. Extremely dissatisfied.

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.

I am writing to raise a safety concern regarding the recurring -??Service Hybrid Electric System-?? warning on my Jeep Wrangler 4xe. This warning light frequently appears during normal driving conditions, often without any discernible reason or noticeable performance issues. After consulting with my dealership, it was indicated that this issue is common, with no immediate or lasting resolution provided, even after multiple diagnostics. The primary concern I wish to highlight is the potential safety hazard this frequent warning creates. Due to its persistent and intermittent nature, drivers may become desensitized to the alert. This desensitization can lead to drivers either losing focus due to distraction from the warning or ignoring the warning entirely, assuming it is yet another false alert. In emergency situations where the hybrid system does indeed have a critical issue, this lack of attention could result in delayed reactions or inadequate responses, increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, this issue can cause unnecessary anxiety and confusion, particularly when no definitive fault is identified, leaving the driver unsure of the vehicle-??s actual safety status. This ambiguity poses a risk, especially in situations requiring immediate attention to a legitimate hybrid system malfunction. Given the number of reports from fellow Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners who are experiencing similar issues and the potential safety risks involved, I believe this warrants a thorough investigation by Jeep and its parent company to determine whether a safety recall is necessary. I would appreciate confirmation that this report will be reviewed and the appropriate actions taken to mitigate any risks associated with this warning system.

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.

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.

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.
