2025 Jeep Wrangler electrical system problems

“**Vehicle:** 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Plug-In Hybrid **Complaint Categories:** Service Brakes / Electrical System / Power Train # NHTSA Safety Complaint: Sudden Loss of Propulsion and Failure to Respond to Braking at Highway Speed While driving my 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe on a highway at approximately 55 mph, I experienced a sudden, simultaneous malfunction involving the vehicle's electrical systems, propulsion and braking. The first indication was an abrupt flash of the dashboard display. The event happened extremely quickly, but it appeared as though the vehicle's ignition had momentarily been turned off and then back on. Immediately afterward, multiple warning indicators appeared, including the turtle/reduced-power warning, ABS/skidding indicator and red brake warning. **At the same time, the vehicle began losing propulsion and failed to respond to normal braking input. I was unable to stop the vehicle using normal braking. Instead, the vehicle continued coasting until it eventually came to a stop, nearly going over an embankment.** This was an extremely dangerous situation involving the simultaneous loss of propulsion and effective braking control while…”

“The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving, the center display screen intermittently froze and became inoperative. The HVAC system was inoperative in cold weather, there were intermittent abnormal sounds, the Hybrid Mode intermittently deactivated, and intermittently stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated and the message "Service Charging System" and several other unknown messages were displayed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The failure mileage was approximately 300.”

“I am reporting a recurring loss/reduction of expected electric propulsion in my 2025 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe after FCA Safety Recall 68C / NHTSA 25V-741 was completed. Before 68C, I routinely drove my normal route, including sustained uphill/high-load portions, in Electric mode for the full trip to/from & expending the full battery capacity. After the recall software update, electric propulsion frequently is sluggish with no acceleration. additional accelerator input does not immediately produce the expected increase in propulsion, and the vehicle then transitions to Hybrid operation with abrupt/jerky gasoline-engine engagement. After this occurs, it does not return to Electric mode until I stop, then intermittent electric. This is not simply reduced EV range. It is a loss/reduction of available electric propulsion followed by delayed gasoline-engine torque substitution, creating unpredictable acceleration during hills, merging, passing, and other situations where immediate propulsion may be safety-critical. My post-68C symptoms are materially similar to other NHTSA complaints involving Wrangler 4xe vehicles, including 11747685, 11765613, 11767648, 11768376,…”

“My complaint with Jeep/Stellantis goes far beyond dissatisfaction with a buyback amount. My family leased a new 2025 Jeep Wrangler expecting a safe vehicle, and instead we have been placed in a worse position after dealing with serious recall and safety concerns. FCA has agreed to repurchase our vehicle, yet the process requires us to continue maintaining and driving a vehicle we no longer feel safe using while waiting weeks for the repurchase to be completed. A potential vehicle-fire condition is not a cosmetic defect or minor inconvenience—it is a legitimate safety concern involving the driver, passengers, surrounding vehicles, homes, and property. My three primary concerns are: **(1) Safety:** Jeep has vehicles in customers' possession subject to serious safety recalls involving potential fire hazards, yet customers may still be left waiting for repairs or resolution. **(2) Remedy:** Even after FCA agreed to repurchase our Wrangler, the proposed financial resolution leaves us in a worse financial position and without sufficient funds to reasonably transition into a replacement vehicle. We were offered substantial compensation to keep the vehicle, but keeping…”

“The contact called for an acquaintance who owned a 2025 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in the driveway, a neighbor saw black smoke coming from the vehicle. The neighbor called the authorities first and then called the contact, who was not at the residence during the failure. The vehicle caught on fire, and the neighbor alerted the occupants inside the residence about the fire. The Fire Department arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire. The fire burned several trees in the yard and damaged the concrete in the driveway. A fire report was filed. The remnant of the vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and deemed a total loss.”

“Purchased vehicle in question on 9/11/25 as a lease through the local Jeep dealership near my residence. Sometime around 4/26 to 5/26 my vehicle started to display odd operational patterns which were brought to my local dealerships attention. The first event where I was able to record any type of documentation was around 5/25/26. While driving, the vehicle would suddenly go into "limp mode" and rapidly decrease speed. Several check engine lights would appear to include: Service Electronic Throttle Control, Service Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control and the standard CEL. When this does happen, the vehicle will decrease speed suddenly without warning and becomes difficult to operate until it is pulled over and parked. Vehicle has been to my local dealership several times (4) and out of service for over 70 days with the latest stay 30+ days. According to documentation from the dealership, the listed error/issue has been recreated on their end at least one time but no data was captured with that fail. My local Jeep dealership Service Manager (CF) replied to an email of mine (7/16/26 at 1703) with the following statement: Verified customer concern of…”
