Year, make, and model are under the recall # 30B but because my vin is not bringing it up it is not covered despite matching everything else and it is a safety issue.”Owner report · Electrical System · Aug 2026
“Vehicle total power loss while driving on the freeway, UNKNOWN cause. Vehicle will not turn off or turn on, shift gear locked. Seem to be a system communication between battery, transmission, ecu.

Was able to safely move to the shoulder and contacted AAA for towing to nearest dealership.

“After the latest 68C recall fix, Jeep has adjusted the behavior of how the vehicle's electric mode operates. When the battery gets to a certain temperature when driving, the engine is supposed to turn on (to prevent the fire risk hazard). However, instead of the vehicle making the powertrain switch, the vehicle power will just stop. The pedal will go to the floor but no forward movement. It is dangerous in many driving situations, like the highway or among other vehicles when mine unexpectedly stops. Jeep has tried to fix this exact issue in 3 separate recalls, but it still occurs. They should buy back the vehicles as they seem to not be able to fix and they are not safe to drive.”Owner report · Vehicle Speed Control · Jun 2026
“Violent front-end oscillation at 65 mph after hitting a bump, resulting in temporary loss of vehicle control. Happened y times. All at legal highway speeds. I had to bring the shuddering vehicle across multiple lanes of traffic to pull over and stop the vehicle to stop the violent shuddering. Vehicle is stock.”Owner report · Steering · Jun 2026

“Multiple recalls on jeep 4xe starting with the hybrid system from charging to the battery. Ultimately not fixable per Stellantis. Now electrical components in steering that present possible fire hazard at anytime. Not to mention the fact that if it can cause a fire, then the steering could fail in some unexpected way while driving, leading/contributing to an accident with serious injury or death. These combined make the car generally unreliable, potentially unsafe, and increase depreciation.”Owner report · Steering · Jun 2026

“My Jeep will not operate correctly in the electric mode after a software update that was required to resolve a recall.
