This page covers 3 recalls and 202 owner complaints for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe.
Complaints for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe center heavily on engine and electrical behavior. On the engine side, owners frequently describe unexpected power loss while driving, where the vehicle decelerates or cuts out entirely with no warning lights, sometimes requiring a restart to continue. Abnormal engine noise is another recurring theme, reported both while driving and while the vehicle charges at home, loud enough in some cases to be heard from inside a residence. The electrical system draws the second-highest complaint volume, with owners reporting sudden loss of electrical power at low speeds, causing the vehicle to roll to a stop. Some owners also describe an unusual burning odor during driving. Dealer visits often fail to reproduce the conditions owners describe, leaving the underlying issue unresolved.

By System
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4XE has 3 recalls, the most serious involving two separate fire risks: internal engine debris that can cause engine failure and a high-voltage battery that can fail internally, in either case potentially starting a fire while parked or driving.
The engine debris issue can also cut drive power without warning, leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate normally. The battery fire risk is independent of driving, meaning the vehicle can ignite even while sitting parked. A third recall involves a software error introduced through an over-the-air update that disrupts the hybrid management system and can cause a sudden loss of drive power, raising the risk of a crash. All three recalls are specific to the plug-in hybrid variants of this model.
