   My 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe had the 68C recall completed. Since completion of the recall, I have experienced intermittent and significant loss of acceleration/power, particularly when driving on an incline. During a recent incident, while traveling on an inclined section of the interstate highway, the vehicle was operating in hybrid mode. The vehicle did not provide the expected acceleration and appeared to lose power despite the accelerator being fully depressed. After…

   Since the completion of the 68c recall, my Jeep has a concerning issue: when driving in “electric” mode for about 15-20 minutes, the available power starts to decline. Despite pressing on the accelerator it continues to decline for about 10-15 seconds. Then the screen displays “Electric Mode Temporarily Unavailable”, the ICE starts and engages (with no warmup) and the Jeep switches to “Hybrid” mode. This all happens despite there being a 40%+ charge remaining on the battery…

   Since my 68C recall repair my jeep has suffered from sudden electric power loss. This can occur when trying to accelerate from a stop or merging into faster moving traffic. This can also happen while driving and attempting to accelerate resulting in sudden slowdown before gas engine kicks in. This happens daily.

   When I drive out of my neighborhood there is a small hill and when I start going up the hill it starts to lose power. Enough power that I have hit the gas pedal or it holds up traffic. I usually put it in cruise and that's when it does this. This was not a problem until we did all the recalls. This continues to be frustrating. And Jeep- Stellantis is no help. This happens everyday. This vehicle does it everyday. It doesn't have the power that it use to. My gas mileage has…

   Since having my 68C recall update done back in February of this year, there has been a significant difference in the powertrain of my 2024 Wrangler 4XE. When driving in electric mode, mainly on a highway, the gas engine will kick on many times for short runs when it never did before. Also, when running on electric, the power or low-end torque has been very much noticeably diminished. This is of concern when merging and pulling out onto a highway. I just want my Jeep 4XE to…

   While driving in electric mode on the highway at 60+ mph, the vehicle suddenly lost power . Chimes sounded, and an alert on the dash read “battery power unavailable” (or similar, I don’t remember the exact words). It appeared to switch into gas mode after about 6 seconds. Dangerous and frightening nonetheless.

   2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe purchased new November 2024. Recall 68C (NHTSA 25V741000) software update performed December 2025 at 12,524 miles. None of this occurred in the first 13 months of ownership. It all began immediately after 68C. My 7.6-mile commute (4 miles at 35-45 mph, the rest at 55-60 mph) was previously driven entirely in Electric mode. The vehicle now cannot sustain Electric mode past about 5 miles. It first suffers a sharp power loss where it lags and stops…

   After Jeep performed the 68C recall on my vehicle, in Electric mode, when driving at 55mph and trying to merge from a service road on to a highway the vehicle power is actually reduced and the vehicle slows down when you press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor trying to get up to highway traffic speed (65-70mph). In this state, the vehicle will actually lose speed dropping from 55mph to 52 mph and will not increase speed past 52mph even with the accelerator…

    Since the 68C recall work was done, it does not have the horsepower in electric mode that it used to and the gas motor of the hybrid kicks in much sooner than before. I was accelerating onto a freeway onramp when the ice turned on with high rpm, the motor backfired causing some sensor to trigger limp mode (60mph max). I had big rigs behind me going 75 braking hard. I will not let my wife drive it. It's not safe anymore.

    Our wrangler was taken in to get the 68C recall done and once we finally got the vehicle back the electric driving mode had significantly less power to the point where the vehicle showed it was limited to 43-45kw of power output to the electric motors which resulted in a top speed of about 67-70mph until it completely failed and said "electric mode temporarily unavailable" on the dash. It then stumbles and restarts after a brief pause thag causes the vehicle to slow down to…

    Since taking my Jeep to the dealership for the 68C recall, 12/22/2025, I have noticed a significant decrease in both power and electric performance. Before the recall, while driving in Hybrid mode with a fully charged battery, I could travel to a town approximately 20 miles away and remain in electric mode for most of the trip there and back. Since the recall was completed, the vehicle no longer stays in electric mode for very long. The internal combustion engine (ICE) now…
