The vehicle is supposed to have an off board power inverter (MOPAR PART 68522775AD or 68522775AB), and is supposed to work with all models of the 4XE wrangler. My Power port does not work and JEEP has been unhelpful in getting it replaced. My case number with FCA is 89963711.

After hitting a minor bump in the road on the highway traveling approx. 60 MPH, my Jeep began to shake unusually longer than one might expect going over a bump. It stopped after just a few seconds, and I continued driving. About five miles later, traveling approx. 65 MPH it happened again, after hitting a bump or expansion joints on the highway. This time the shaking laster longer, maybe six or seven seconds until I was able to migrate to the slow lane, and once I reduced my speed it stopped. I continued driving slowly, and called the dealership immediately after arriving at my destination. I learned the problem is known to JEEP as the Death Wobble. I am going on record to report that this happened to me in my 2024 4XE Jeep Wrangler with 2,300 miles.

I leased a 2024 Jeep Wrangler since day 1 I have been having problems with the stereo system where it shuts off and on the whole drive. The screen goes black when I'm backing up the car and I find this dangerous because I almost hit a person while backing. I don't have control on the temperature because the screen is black so my windows would get foggy and the during the summer the Aircon doesn't work and during the winter the heat doesn't work. When my phone is connected to the car play and I'm using the navigation sysmtem it would shut of again and again to the point where im lost and almost ended up the the wrong way on the road, and also while driving the screen would turn on and show my backup camera while I'm on the highway. I have taken this car multiple times to the dealer service department and was told that its a software issues. it is now almost a year and nothing has been done about it. the car is a lease for 3 years and i'm paying $720 dollars per month for a car that I feel is not safe for me to drive. Please help me get a solution, I don't know who else I can contact in regards to this. I have a lot of videos that can attest to this problem.

I recently purchased a NEW 2024 jeep wrangler 4xe. Within the first week of ownership, the car broke down twice and was unable to be driven during a trip. The car started fine and was able to be driven at first, but twice, while stopped at a traffic light, it was unable to start again. The car needed to be towed to the local dealership on both occasions. This caused significant traffic hazards on both occasions. During the first service trip to the dealer, I was told that software needed to be updated, but on the second visit, I was told that the entire transmission needed to be replaced. I see online that others have complained of the same exact issue that I experienced [XXX] ) There were no warning lights or lamps on prior to the vehicle breaking down but after the incident on both occasions there was a "service transmission" message. Please look into this as I think it is a pervasive problem and may cause accidents or injuries. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Hello, We got a brand new 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sport S two days ago from Ourisman in Baltimore (I live in New York). Since we got the Jeep, it randomly stops and the car just shuts off in the middle of the road, with the D by the gear shift blinking red. There is plenty of gas and is fully charged. It has happened five times in the two days I've had it. We've called multiple Jeep dealerships, everyone is refusing to even see the car because it was purchased in Baltimore. I've been given the run around with many different phone numbers to call. I am scared to drive it to Baltimore myself, lest it shut down on the highway.

Check engine light and power steering light were on. Additionally the following message showed up on the dash - "Service Electronic Stability" Several tow truckers were called and the vehicle was unable to be put into neutral even after attempting to use the override cable in the shifter. The vehicle had to be dragged onto a flatbed and was towed to the dealership. Per the dealer it sound like the vehicle need a full transmission replacement and a computer replacement.
