What owners report
While driving my 2023 jeep wrangler sahara 4xe at approximately 70 mph in hybrid mode the vehicle suddenly and without warning experienced a complete loss of propulsion while i was traveling in traffic. the vehicle would no longer respond normally to the accelerator and i was unable to maintain speed. the drive (d) indicator began flashing and multiple warning lights and messages appeared on the instrument cluster. i
After a recent recall for the battery, the vehicle did not operate as it did before with regards to ‘electric only’ mode. the vehicle engine would intermittently start under seemingly normal conditions ( no major hills or hard pressing of gas) despite being in the electric mode. there would be a noticeably high rpm cycle when this happened.
Whatever i am driving in electric mode usually when i’m down to under 40% electricity, the vehicle decides to shut electricity off and start to load the motor. it’s still flashing on the dash that it’s an electric mode and i tend to lose significant power. i try to give it gas there is no reaction with the gas pedal and then all of a sudden the engine will kick on and i will go into the gas motor running the vehicle
After receiving the 68c recall, which was a software update to protect jeeps defective hv battery maintenance system, i have experienced two dangerous situations while driving in electric mode. after this recall when driving in electric mode the vehicle will start moving from a stop and then stall. the only way to continue after this high risk delay is to put the accelerator to the floor so the gas engine will kick
