Jeep Wrangler 2021 — Problemas reportados

Tire plus store 676206 Sold wrong size tire for this vehicle When I went to put air tire the employee told me

Engine fuel pump Cavitates and dies while at Idle or under power on highway. Fuel leaks out of the fuel tank vent in the Right Aft Fender well over the exhaust pipe. This is an intermitting problem.

The vehicle has lost power multiple times and have been at the dealership now twice due to it first time the check engine light went off before the dealership could find an issue and they couldn’t find anything second time after losing power on the expressway. They check engine light came on for a few days and went off by time my appointment at the dealership. The determined the PIM had issues and are replacing it.

On September 20, 2026 I came outside to find the charging port on my 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe smoking and extremely hot to touch. It had been plugged into a level 1 (120v) charging cable to charge overnight outside our garage. I immediately unplugged the charging cable and placed it on the ground. While inspecting the charging port on my Jeep I found the pins charred and melted plastic inside the port, possibly caused from electrical arcing. I made an appointment with the dealership the following day but had to wait until October 26 to be seen. During the appt on Oct 26 they completed software updates and confirmed the charging port had been destroyed and complete replacement was necessary due to the severe high voltage thermal incident. They quoted $1055 for replacement, denying warranty coverage due to mileage (137,000 miles). I believe this malfunction represents a severe malfunctioning defect in the high voltage charging infrastructure of my Jeep 4xe vehicle that put my vehicle, home, and family at risk.

At 47000 miles the oil cooler cracked, although the technician stated it did not cause the crankshaft: harmonic balancer pulley to be damaged, the mat issue did occur and documentation from other sources state one can cause the other. Replacement cost was substantial for a low mileage vehicle. Documented issues with the oil cooler failing on Jeep Wrangler JL, specifically the 3.6 L engine is easily obtainable. The dealership admitted replacing a lot of them. This is a manufacturer defect that should be resolved.

After the recall on the hybrid battery and getting it replaced, I have experienced loss of power, especially when merging onto a highway, I don’t have acceleration like I did before. Sometimes the vehicle will “fall on its face “when going to pass another slow vehicle I feel like this is extremely dangerous when trying to maneuver into traffic

When driving about 50 miles per hour on the highway, it felt like my engine suddenly gave out and my dash turned off. When it came back in, there were multiple indicator lights and a message that read "Pull over safely and shift to Park." I did just that, but after that I couldn't get the car to turn back on or shift out of park. I had to have to towed to the dealer and it has been there since 10/13.

While towing a utility trailer on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration and could not maintain normal power while the driver was attempting to pass a semi-truck. During the incident, the semi-truck contacted the trailer and shredded one of the trailer tires. Three occupants were inside the vehicle. No injuries occurred, but the incident created a serious risk of a fatal collision. The vehicle has repeatedly displayed “Service Electronic Stability Control” and other warning lights, together with loss of power and transmission hesitation/slipping. The same concern has been reported to the dealership during approximately three service visits. The dealership previously replaced the air filter and attributed the warning lights to it, but the condition returned. Dated videos show the warning condition before and after that repair. The vehicle is currently back at the dealership for the recurring safety concern.

Steering damper and drag link and drag link ends.

I have owned this vehicle since August of 2021 and consider myself very familiar with the normal operation and performance of the vehicles propultion system. From August of 2021 through December of 2025: - I could operate the vehicle at highway speeds in full electric mode - I could reliably tell when the vehicle would transition to the internal combustion engine and how the vehicle would respond when it transitioned (a smooth transition) - I could have confidence in how the vehicle would accelerate when the gas pedal was pushed. I had the 68C recall performed on 12/23/25 and since the recall, the vehicle's propultion system has not been the same to the point where it is a safety concern. - I cannot operate the vehicle at highway speeds in full electric mode and in many cases cannot operate in electric at lower speeds. - When the vehicle transitions to internal combustion, the engine climbs to an unsafe RPM, then reduces RPM in stages until transitioning back to full electric. This process repeates iteslf over and over as if the vehicle is trying to find the right balance between electric and gas. These transitions cause unreliable fluctuations in speed and power and put unecessary strain on the engine. - There are times when I will go to accelerate and nothing will happen for a couple of seconds. This is particularly dangerous at intersections. - There are times when I will go to accelerate and the vehicle will start in electric for a second and then immediately jump to 4500 RPM on the internal combustion engine, jetting the vehicle forward in an unsafe manner. The dealership noted the behavior, but cannot identify any codes and the official message from Jepp is that this is "Normal Operation." I've driven this vehicle for over 5 years and over 60,000 miles. I can confirm that this is not normal, this is not how it always has been, and there has been a change made to the performance of the vehicle since the recall. I have videos of the behavior.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the rear seat head restraint fractured, preventing the headrest from remaining in the locked, upright position. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V472000 (Seats); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where technicians confirmed that the failure was related to the defect described in the recall; however, the dealer stated that the recall remedy could not be applied because the VIN was excluded, despite the vehicle utilizing the same component. The failure mileage was 39,000.

Vehicle shuts down and looses all power and battery controls without warning. My [XXX] daughter was driving the jeep when this happened. Was unable to get vehicle into N for over an hour. Fuses and relays inside the under hood fuse block were extremely hot. After finally getting it into N, we removed from the travel lanes of the 4 lane highway. I had jeep towed to house and waiting to hear back from dealer as to when I can have it towed in. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2021 Jeep 4XE is not safe after the 68C battery recall, this recall has caused the combustion engine to start intermittently even though I am in hybrid or electric mode, when this happens, the jeep will not respond to the accelerator pedal for a few seconds while the computer figures out what to do, when pulling away from a stop sign or turning left in traffic this lag has made it very difficult to drive in traffic. I feel the 68C recall has made this vehicle unsafe to drive unless you know it's going to lag and make driving corrections because of it. At this point I will not let anyone but myself drive it for fear they will experience the lag and end up in an accident because of it. I have had it back to the dealer 2 times and they acknowledge my complaint but since it has no codes they can't or don't know h0w to fix it. They have contacted Stellantis and they advise the jeep is operating as designed. It didn't do this prior to the 68C recall. Not sure what to do at this point but I now have a vehicle that I bought because I liked the performance of the Hybrid system but now that performance is compromised to the point, I feel it's not safe, and Jeep cant seem to rectify the issue even though the dealer acknowledges its and issue

I purchased my 2021 used with 29k miles in April 2024. Since then I have had to deal with three recalls but one of particular concern- 68c, meant to reduce the incidence of fire caused by the battery cell separators. Since then I have experienced a very noticeable change in how the Jeep drives. There is a large gap in available power, the gas engine sometimes kicks in unexpectedly at high RPM, other times I press the accelerator to the floor with no response, and at times there is a severe lag between the time I need to accelerate and the time that power is available. Overall not only did the recall fundamentally change the vehicle I purchased it also introduced unsafe driving characteristics because it is less predictable in its response.

After the Jeep 68C recall fix since January 2026: • Aggressive Battery Throttling & "Bogging": The updated software heavily restricts power output (often capping electric draw around 40–50%) to keep the battery cool. This causes a sudden loss of acceleration or a "bogging" sensation. The loss of motive power is a severe safety issue that did not exist before the software update. • Violent Engine Surges: When the electric motor loses power, the gasoline engine suddenly kicks in with a noticeable delay, lurching or surging. • Unreliable Electric Mode: Vehicles frequently drop out of full-electric mode—even with high battery charge—or struggle to maintain highway speeds on slight inclines. In warmer weather, lower temperature thresholds force the gas engine on after only 5 to 10 miles. Constance on and off operation of the engine in electric mode. The engine turns on only a few seconds, then turns off. This cycle will repeat till the battery is fully depleted. Jeep has NOT acknowledged the problem or given dealership guidance how to resolve the issue with the 68C software update.

I was driving on interstate going 75 mph in the passing lane when my steering wheel locked completely up. My car started drifting to the right, but I was unable to turn the steering wheel. I almost hit the guardrail. The car is now being towed to Jeep dealership for fixing of the active recall.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at highways speeds, the vehicle vibrated violently, and the steering wheel became firm stiffen and difficult to turn. The vehicle was pulled over and slowed down before the contact continued driving. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

In electric mode vehicle loses battery power (at 25% power draw)and several seconds later starts the gas engine to compensate. It does this at least once within every full charge (about 28 miles)-usually when the remaining charge is between10-20%, but on occasion it happens at around 50% and at least once when the battery showed 80%. When it happens at lower charge, it continues until the charge is 0 and it switches to hybrid mode. When the remaining charge is higher it will continue to lose power/start engine and then shut engine off for several miles and then revert to acting normally again. There is no indication on the dash that there is a problem. The jeep does not revert to hybrid mode -it stays in electric mode. This is repeatable. It happens at least once every full charge...usually while accelerating from a stop. I've had it lose power while accelerating through an intersection for several seconds before the engine starts...UNSAFE. Jeep dealer said no fault codes/software is up to date -so nothing they can do. On the phone, the rep said they have no way to troubleshoot this problem.

After application of the most recent battery recall/Software update, 68C, the vehicle operates differently than it previously did. In fact, it now nearly stalls while climbing a hill to my home when the battery charge indicated is less than about 35%. Vehicle speed drops from 25 to nearly 5mph, independent of accelerator pedal position, before the engine starts abruptly. Not only am I creating a traffic hazard for those behind me, but the cold gas engine engages at full load. Secondly, the overall response to accelerator input seems to be much slower, both in time and power, than before the software update. This causes issues when pulling out into traffic and is especially alarming when the Jeep won't respond as it did for the previous 50K miles.

My Hydraulic power steering pump system has a leak. My 2021 jeep wrangler only has 42,000 miles on it. It has been diagnosed by a jeep mechanic specialist independently. The problem appeared in May 2026. With the Jeep only having very little miles already with a leak from the hydraulic power steering pump system is a major concern.

This vehicle has become unsafe to drive and no longer has the performance that it had when originally purchased since the 68C recall. In electric mode, I experience low power and the acceleration is almost non-existent. This has caused significant safety issues when merging onto highways and maintaining flow of traffic speeds on hills. In electric mode, after about 10-15 mins, it will also abruptly start the engine and spike at 4K RPM (even when the vehicle is not under strain or accelerating), then drop to 1K RPM, then spike back up to 4K RPM, then go back down, then up, over and over, causing concern over engine wear and gas mileage impacts. It will not go back into electric mode when this happens until the vehicle is turned off and back on again. We have reported this repeatedly to the dealership, and they have stated that since there are no codes, their hands “are tied”, and there is nothing they can do. I do not want a buy-out or money settlement; I simply want this vehicle to operate the way it did prior to the 68C update.

After 68C my Jeep doesn't respond the way it used to, theres reduced power when staying with the flow of traffic or climbing hills. It seems to be unsafe bc I can't accelerate like I used to, I think Jeep is limiting the power

I was driving and had a sudden loss of power. My gas pedal would not respond. I had to put my car in park and out of hybrid so my gas engine would come on.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that at start-up the instrument panel was blank. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the instrument panel had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts not being available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V652000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); as a possible cause for the failure. The failure mileage was 91,000.

Manufacturer corporate and its dealer network are failing to provide a safe, timely remedy for a vehicle subject to high-voltage battery fire recalls (Recall 68C / NHTSA Campaign 25V-741) and a power steering fire recall (Recall 21D / NHTSA Campaign 21V-363). The vehicle has an active check engine light, a disabled hybrid propulsion system, and has now suffered a catastrophic electronic brake booster failure on a college campus, rendering the brake pedal rock-hard like compressed air and leaving the vehicle unable to stop normally. This is a direct, recurring safety failure of Diagnostic Trouble Code DTC C0580-00 (Brake Booster Motor Circuit Low), which was officially documented by a franchise dealer in June 2026. The vehicle also has an extensive history of severe manufacturing defects, including an extraordinary 72-day out-of-service period at a dealership in Miami, FL for a disintegrated rear axle bearing that destroyed the differential housing, alongside advanced structural body rust on hinges found to be unsafe. The manufacturer was formally notified of this active safety emergency and loss of vehicle utility on Sunday, September 27, via email and corporate phone logs, but failed to respond or secure the vehicle. We are formally demanding an expedited manufacturer repurchase/buyout due to total loss of vehicle utility, structural housing conflicts under 'park outside' directives, and severe physical safety liability.

After completing the Jeep Wrangler 4XE '68C' recall, my Wrangler started having erratic RPM / engine surges. Moreover, the powertrain system will jump between electric and hybrid gas (ICE) modes while driving at highway speeds when in 'Electric' mode. It actually does this in Hybrid mode but Electric mode is far worse. The Jeep did not do this before completing the 68C recall. The safety issue is erratic RPM and engine surges. The battery will have plenty of charge and should not need to jump back to hybrid mode. It did not do this before the 68C recall update. My car has not lost 'full' power but I've heard of others that have lost full power or have had major dead spots during acceleration. I have noticed reduced power and loss of acceleration (also a safety issue), as well. My theory is the battery and maybe the hybrid system is faulty. The battery used in the 4XE has been confirmed to have fire risk issues and the 68C seems to have changed the driving function by software update to keep it from over heating but they have created new safety issues with this patch and did not actually correct the original problem (only hide it). Not to mention, the Jeep does not function as originally sold from a powertrain standpoint. My EV battery was replaced after 68C recall but my 'new' battery has the same chemistry and cells so it still has the same fire risk as before but now with the powertrain problem meant to keep to battery cool to hide the fact that nothing was actually corrected (beyond creating new safety issues). If Jeep says that this is functioning as intended that is not correct. This car did not do this before the 68C updates and they have created new problems. Not to mention, possible engine problems resulting with this behavior.

Since the 68C recall, my 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe has not behaved normally and has become increasingly unpredictable. Even with a mostly or nearly full battery, it frequently will not operate in pure electric mode at lower speeds, particularly on even slight inclines. The gas engine can suddenly start when I am expecting electric operation, sometimes accompanied by hesitation, lurching, or an abrupt change in power delivery. I have genuine safety concerns with the vehicle because I cannot reliably predict how it will respond to accelerator input. There have been instances of reduced or delayed power followed by sudden engagement, which is especially concerning when pulling into traffic, crossing an intersection, merging, or maneuvering on a hill. These problems began following the 68C recall, and the vehicle's current behavior does not feel normal, consistent, or safe.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist, causing a more difficult steering effort. The vehicle was restarted to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced the CAN bus connector, but the failure persisted. While driving 70 MPH, the steering wheel seized and the vehicle almost crashed into a guardrail. The contact sustained body soreness. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V363000 (Steering). The vehicle was towed to the second dealer, Nielsen Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram of East Hanover (175 NJ-10, East Hanover, NJ 07936), who informed the contact that the electric hydraulic power steering pump needed to be replaced; however, the dealer refused to perform the recall repair and stated that the failure was not related to the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The vehicle is not performing as it did when first purchased. Through a series of recalls related to the main drive battery, the vehicle now lacks power when in electric mode pulling out on highways, passing on highways, or even driving at speeds over 40mph or so. I went to pull out on the highway this morning, for example, in electric mode, and there was a good 1-2 second sluggish acceleration before the gas engine kicked on and revved up without any kind of warm up. I can't imagine this is good for the gas engine. I never had that issue before these recalls. I'm also concerned the recent recall is going so long without any kind of resolution. I feel like Jeep has had so many safety, fire and performance issues they really should be buying these back and taking them off the road. Pulling out into traffic and not having acceleration for 1-2 seconds is very dangerous.

My 2021 jeep wrangler Sahara 4xe has had numerous EV battery issues. I have asked recalls to be fixed. It has had its battery replaced under a federal safety recall, still refuses to charge, and caused home charger to no longer to work. It has been in the shop since 8/11/26 and they are unable to get it to charge. This is a safety hazard. Issues with the EV battery/electrical system started back in 2021 after purchasing vehicle. Most recent issue with frying my home charging unit and not charging started in July of 2026.

My vehicle is currently in the shop getting the High voltage battery replaced for the second time due to a code showing battery voltage variation as well as getting the latest 21D recall completed. The Jeep currently has about 90,000 miles and has received all other recalls. The jeep no longer functions or performs like it did when I took ownership in February of 2022. It routinely loses power when trying to accelerate onto Highways or into traffic lanes or up hills. You can push the pedal down and there is a noticeable delay of several seconds before the vehicle starts to accelerate. The car no longer will stay in selected "Electric mode" and will instead kick the engine on at random times or take the vehicle out of "electric" and into "Hybrid". When at slow speeds (under 15MPH) in traffic the jeep lurches and slows, unable to maintain a constant speed. Also I have no way of proving that the overall power has been reduced through programming but the acceleration and advertised 375HP/470lb-ft does not seem to have the same feeling that it once did when first purchasing this vehicle. I believe there is a dangerous ongoing safety issue possibly with the programming, as well as the HV batteries. There were no warning lights coming on during the course of the last several months until I had a CEL for battery voltage variation and then it was taken to the dealership on the same day. There has been no communication with Jeep/Stellantis other than them issuing an unlimited mileage warranty on the HV battery. They seem to be replacing it with the same design, and therefore not addressing the issue only putting a band aid on the problem.

Since recall 68C was completed in February, the performance of the vehicle in Electric mode has degraded significantly. Prior to 68C, the gas engine was nearly impossible to engage in electric mode which was a good thing and clearly intended for extreme circumstances where unusually rapid acceleration was required. Also prior to 68C the electric acceleration was dependable and predictable both around town and at highway speeds. I live atop a 1.5 mile hill and could travel bottom to top without the engine engaging. Since 68C, I have consistently observed multiple changes in performance in electric mode: 1) the engine will engage much sooner and more frequently upon acceleration in any conditions. Wherever it happens, this is an unpredictable behavior that puts instant load on a cold, unlubricated engine. 2) At and approaching highway speeds in electric mode, the vehicle will begin to lose acceleration, hesitate and the gas engine will engage - again putting load on a cold, unlubricated engine. This can happen after several miles or after just a few miles. When the engine engages, it does not engage smoothly - the engine will rev high then drop down, then rev high then disengage - all inconsistently and all unexpectedly. While this is happening, the vehicle's acceleration or ability to maintain speed is inconsistent and constant manipulation of the throttle is necessary to ensure I'm not losing too much speed relative to the traffic around me. I don't know what changes were made as part of the 68C recall remedy but it has dramatically changed how electric mode is managed, has significantly decreased vehicle performance in electric mode and puts my and my passengers' safety at risk when I'm driving. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer and I've confirmed that the latest software is installed. The component has not been inspected. The issues described above only presented after the 68C recall work was performed and occur without warning.

Death wobble

Since the 68c recall my vehicle has not been performing as it should. It is in the shop for the 110th day since i had the recall installed.

Since the last 2 updates / recalls , my transmission has become very clunky. From a stop or in slow traffic, the transmission pops in gear and it is very hard. It seems to be getting worse as time goes by. The gears when shifting thru the gears is fine, no issues there

2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sahara, VIN [XXX]. 1. The exact malfunctioning component is UNKNOWN; I suspect the hybrid propulsion system. The vehicle is available for inspection. After recall 68C was completed, accelerator response, electric-power availability, and combined gasoline/electric performance changed substantially. The Jeep hesitates when I press the accelerator, the gasoline engine starts at unexpected times, and full electric-mode operation becomes restricted. Combined acceleration is noticeably weaker than before the recall. My complaint concerns restricted propulsion power, not reduced driving range. Horsepower loss has not been independently measured. Whether battery overheating or thermal-protection controls cause these restrictions is UNKNOWN. 2. I regularly pull out into traffic expecting the acceleration the vehicle previously provided, but the Jeep hesitates or fails to gain speed quickly enough. The approaching driver behind me then has to slow down. This recurring delayed response and reduced acceleration make safe gaps harder to judge and create a risk of a rear-end collision. 3. No dealer or independent service center has reproduced or confirmed these post-recall problems. 4. Recall 68C was completed, but these subsequent drivability problems have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. 5. I first noticed these symptoms on XXX, at 62,000 miles, after recall 68C. They became more pronounced during summer 2026 as warmer weather set in. No warning lamps or messages accompanied these problems. I suspect a connection to the recall work based on the timing, but the exact cause is UNKNOWN. I request that NHTSA investigate whether the 68C remedy causes or leaves unresolved restricted propulsion power and delayed accelerator response. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I had a 68c recall completed by Jeep and immediately after the recall, I noticed a reduction in power when accelerating, which causes me issues when trying to merge on the freeway and stay with the flow of traffic. This has been an ongoing daily issue. Also, the gas engine kicks on when it should not and loads immediately causing an erratic shifting of the gas engine, which causes the vehicle to lose power when it is needed the most. The recall was designed to supposedly protect the electric battery, but the software update that Jeep implemented has drastically changed the functionality and response timeframe at which the vehicle can respond when accelerating. I have tried to have Jeep address the issue, but they indicated the Jeep is operating as intended. It never operated like this until after this recall update and many other Jeep 4xe owners are reporting similar issues with propulsion and the gas engine loading erratically. Thank you for looking into this safety concern.

3 out of 4 door pins broke

When driving my Jeep 4xe hybrid powertrain in "electric" mode, I noticed loss of power at highway speeds, and other times at lower speeds. Pushing on gas pedal doesn't translate to acceleration. Engine kicks on but doesn't have a gear to find. This happens at various speeds, going 25mph up a hill or 55mph on a highway either flat or up a hill.

This vehicle had a 68c recall (software) that has resulted in a significant change in the vehicle performance that resulted in unexpected power loss during its electric vehicle propulsion system that has nearly resulted in accidents on the road and on the freeway. This never happened before and it happens often now. The Jeep dealership claims there are no known error malfunction codes however there has been a material change in the operating environment and is very unsafe.

Since the 68C Jeep Wrangler recall was applied to my vehicle this past July, it has been exhibiting erratic behavior during acceleration. At varying times, when the accelerator is pressed from a stop, the vehicle will begin accelerating at normal rate, but then suddenly the power will drop off, resulting in the acceleration rate being dropped to where the car is barely accelerating. For instance, I was making a left hand turn from a stop, and when I accelerated onto the road, my speed quickly rose to 20 mph, but then the vehicle stopped accelerating, and remained at 20 mph. At the time, the vehicle was operating on battery power only. I immediately began increasing my throttle input, but the car failed to increase acceleration. Only once I had the pedal to the floor for a few seconds did the internal combustion engine activate, allowing the car to begin accelerating again, albeit at a slow rate that was not commensurate with the throttle position. This event has almost resulted in other vehicles colliding with my car when I was attempting to enter a busy road. This has occurred on a number of occasions, and the fact that this happens randomly presents an extremely dangerous situation that is not predictable. Other people who own the same Jeep Wrangler 4xe platform as me have also reported this occurring to their vehicles. Jeep, however, has not responded to this alarming problem, and simply has been telling customers who call Jeep customer service or take their vehicles to a dealer that there is nothing wrong, and the vehicles are operating normally. This is not acceptable, and with tens of thousands of these vehicles on the road, presents a significant danger to the owners and public at large. For the record, there were no warning lamps, messages, or any other symptoms prior to each incident for me. It also has occurred no matter the current capacity of the battery.

Following the completion of the 68C recall, My Jeep does not have the responsiveness and speed that it did before. Even with lots of battery left, the engine will kick on resulting in a loss of power and then difficulty getting it back up to speed. There’s also hesitations when going to make a turn or accelerating through an intersection after slowing down. This vehicle is not like it was before that recall work was done. I view this is a huge safety factor if I’m not able to maintain my vehicle speed or accelerate when I need to.

Since the 68c recall the performance of the vehicle when merging into traffic, in extended periods of time in electric or going up hill while maintaining speed in electric will slow the vehicle down to have no power to maintain the speed. This causes a safety issue with the vehicle and to other motorists around the vehicle. After having to press harder on the accelerator to get back up to speed the vehicle take many seconds before turning the gas motor on to get it to this speed. Again making this a safety issue with the vehicle. There needs to be investigation as the vehicle no longer performs the same as when purchased and causes a safety issue to the driver and other motorists.

Jeep did a recall that was called 68C and ever since that update, the jeep has not been the same. The jeep is a hybrid (4XE) model that has an electric mode that has become virtually useless since the recall. I have experienced loss of power almost every time i drive the vehicle. The engine starts and loads almost immediately at random times which i can only imagine hurts the engine without any sort of warm up time. I was waiting for jeep to offer another recall to fix the problems, but i have reached my limit on waiting for them to act. I just want my jeep to act and drive the way it drove before the failed 68C recall. Hopefully this will be the start.

Following the recent Recall 68C service administered by Jeep, my vehicle has exhibited several severe performance issues that pose direct mechanical and safety risks. 1. Erratic Gas Engine Engagement & Mechanical Strain Previously, under normal operation, if the vehicle required the gasoline engine while in electric mode, the engine would start at a standard idle (around 1,500 RPM). It would run briefly to lubricate moving parts before contributing to power delivery. Currently, the system behaves erratically. When electric operation exceeds 25% power under load, the gas engine frequently kicks on with absolutely no warm-up period. It immediately jumps to the 3,000 to 3,500 RPM range, forcing high-RPM operation on dry, unlubricated moving parts. 2. Severe Acceleration Lag (Critical Safety Hazard) The most alarming issue is a frequent 5-to-10-second lag during which the vehicle refuses to accelerate, and the electric power meter will not exceed 25%. This lag occurs during critical driving maneuvers, including: accelerating from stoplights or stop signs, changing lanes, and merging into active traffic. For example, while driving in electric mode in a 40 mph zone, the vehicle will begin accelerating normally under mild throttle. However, once the power delivery meter reaches 25%, the vehicle barely increases speed. Even with increased throttle pressure, there is a 2-to-5-second pause before the gas engine abruptly kicks on to resume normal acceleration. Conclusion: This unpredictable delay in throttle response is a severe safety hazard for myself, my passengers, and the general public. While I do not know the exact software or mechanical modifications included in the latest recall "fix," it has undeniably compromised the vehicle's drivability and safety. These performance defects need to be addressed and corrected immediately.

I'm reaching out to complain about the corrosion issue on Jeep Wrangler JLs. I own a 2021 Wrangler JLU Sport with 56,000 miles and recently discovered the corrosion on my vehicle. I brought it in to my local dealer, who looked at the vehicle, explained the large issue they're seeing, and submitted a claim for my vehicle. I found I was just under 2 months outside the 5 year warranty. Stellantis came back with a good will offer of covering my cost 80/20. The total projected cost is $12,750 and I'm responsible for $2,550. This will replace my hood (with a steel hood), tailgate, all hinges, and repaint. After speaking with the dealer I've discovered they are no longer directed to replace the doors, but rather just grind them down. After reading and conversations with my local dealer's body shop, this isn't a fix, as the corrosion can still exist in the body. I opened a Jeep Cares case immediately after and explained I've owned multiple Wranglers since 2010, my father owns 2 Wranglers (a 2018 with this same issue), and I've spoken to other friends who own Wranglers and have this issue. They asked me to get a letter from my local dealership, which I did and provided. Jeep Cares came back with the same offer of 80/20. I've considered not paying this, but I'm seriously concerned that with my New England weather these body parts will become structurally damaged if I let this go. I'm also concerned about paying for the "fix" and having it come back shortly thereafter. I'd consider buying a new Wrangler, but the dealer explained the zinc piece they started adding isn't helping, and they are seeing new vehicles come on the lot with this same issue. Stellantis was aware of this issue considering they have a bulletin until a few years ago, but they've since removed that bulletin. They also never directed their dealers and service centers to notify clients of this issue. This is my largest complaint... they've known aboutthis and dn't let new/existing customers know.

Ever since the 68C recall, my jeep constantly changes back and forth from electric to gas and causes an unsafe driving condition. Some of the shifts are rough, and the vehicle has stalled out as well. The acceleration and performance has also gotten worse. The vehicle feels like it is holding back / restricted. I can floor the gas and the jeep barely moves and then all of a sudden it kicks in and has caused scary and unsafe bursts of speed. I have brought this numerous times to the dealer for performance issues and they were able to replicate the issue. I am on my third hybrid battery and only have 34k miles on the vehicle. I have been stranded multiple times and have had to get towed. This vehicle is unsafe and I say a prayer every time I drive it.

I'm reaching out to complain about the corrosion issue on Jeep Wrangler JLs. I own a 2021 Wrangler JLU Sport with 56,000 miles and recently discovered the corrosion on my vehicle. I brought it in to my local dealer, who looked at the vehicle, explained the large issue they're seeing, and submitted a claim for my vehicle. I found I was just under 2 months outside the 5 year warranty. Stellantis came back with a good will offer of covering my cost 80/20. The total projected cost is $12,750 and I'm responsible for $2,550. This will replace my hood (with a steel hood), tailgate, all hinges, and repaint. After speaking with the dealer I've discovered they are no longer directed to replace the doors, but rather just grind them down. After reading and conversations with my local dealer's body shop, this isn't a fix, as the corrosion can still exist in the body. I opened a Jeep Cares case immediately after and explained I've owned multiple Wranglers since 2010, my father owns 2 Wranglers (a 2018 with this same issue), and I've spoken to other friends who own Wranglers and have this issue. They asked me to get a letter from my local dealership, which I did and provided. Jeep Cares came back with the same offer of 80/20. I've considered not paying this, but I'm seriously concerned that with my New England weather these body parts will become structurally damaged if I let this go. I'm also concerned about paying for the "fix" and having it come back shortly thereafter.

After the latest 68C recall, something has been altered in the vehicle that has changed its operability. It has lost total available power when in electric mode. The system now doesn't respond as well as it used to. This has caused a loss of acceleration and often time transitions to using the gas engine poorly when trying to get up to speed. It causes issues with climbing hills and when pulling out in to traffic. It feels as though it has been current limited to protect the faulty battery instead of replacing the battery with a better design. The fault with the battery is also causing early degradation. The issue that lead to the B9A, 95B and 68C recalls still resides in the battery. It seems as though Jeep has attempted to compensate for a poor battery design by altering the performance capabilities of the vehicle.

After the safety recall 68C, the vehicle no longer operates as designed. In electric only mode, the gas engine engages, which is bad for the engine. This fails to give the engine time to prepare for short sudden use. When driving, the high voltage battery will lag or not produce power as it did prior. This can cause an accident (which it almost did already for myself). The acceleration lags before engaging. This vehicle performed properly prior to this software (1/1/2026) update. I don't trust or feel safe in my vehicle at this juncture. I seek the manufacturer to correct this for the safety of those who drive these vehicles.

While driving my 2021 Jeep Wrangler on the highway, the vehicle displayed a warning indicating a malfunction with the Electronic Throttle Control system. Immediately following the warning, the vehicle experienced a significant loss of acceleration and would not respond normally to accelerator pedal input. The vehicle subsequently began accelerating/surging without my commanding the acceleration. The unintended acceleration was significant enough that I had to apply the brakes to prevent the vehicle from striking traffic ahead of me. This created an extremely dangerous situation because the vehicle's acceleration became unpredictable, alternating between loss of accelerator response and acceleration that I did not command. The vehicle is a 2021 Jeep Wrangler, VIN [XXX]. I am reporting this because I believe the Electronic Throttle Control/powertrain malfunction and resulting unintended acceleration present a serious vehicle safety concern.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the soft top was not clear enough to see well out of the rear of the vehicle, especially while reversing in inclement weather. The contact informed the dealer of the issue the day the vehicle was purchased. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to turn onto a side street and pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that there was a catastrophic failure of the fuel pump resulting in the fuel lines being contaminated with metal shavings. The contact stated that a fuel injector cleaning service was completed approximately one week prior to the failure. The dealer informed the contact that the entire fuel system needed to be replaced, and the engine needed to be flushed. The contact was provided an estimate for the repairs. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.

The One Touch Power Roof has rails from side to side. Several of these have broken at their attachment to the track system. This has created several issues: 1) the roof is no longer leak proof, 2) it creates excessive noise at high way speed. I have not used this system much, so it is unclear why this failed. When I presented the car to the Jeep dealer service area, I was told the only solution is to replace the entire roof - several thousand dollars. There is no other fix. This is out of warranty, but it clearly is a manufacturing issue common with this roof. I believe Jeep should replace this roof system at their cost , not mine. They have not shown me why this happened nor have they claimed it is my fault.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while seated inside the vehicle while the vehicle was stationary, the contact heard a pop and then saw flames coming from underneath the hood.
