What owners report

Electrical System,Engine,Fuel/Propulsion System

While driving my jeep 4xe, the vehicle suddenly loses motive power without warning. the vehicle emits a chime, the "d" gear indicator flashes on the shifter and instrument cluster, the check engine light illuminates, and a message displays instructing me to shift the vehicle into park. at that point, the vehicle will no longer accelerate, forcing me to coast and maneuver across traffic lanes to reach a safe location.

2022 wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. the hybrid high-voltage system failed the first time it was used, in april 2026 at about 35,000 miles. i had not charged or used hybrid mode before that because of the manufacturer's high-voltage battery fire-risk recall guidance (recalls 23v-787, 24v-720, 25v-741) not to charge and to park away from structures. the check engine light came on at first use and has not stayed off excep

Fuel/Propulsion System

After recall 68c on this vehicle, my power output has noticeably altered. i did have a hv battery replaced due to failure as well. yes, they have extended warranty for that hv battery, but also down scaled its original abilities so it is not the vehicle that we originally bought. it does not feel safe on the road, and is constantly under do not park in structures warnings from stellantis.
