This page covers 4 recalls and 48 owner complaints for the 2025 Jeep Wrangler.
Complaints about the 2025 Jeep Wrangler, which skews heavily toward the 4xe plug-in hybrid, cluster around the electrical and hybrid propulsion systems. Owners of the 4xe frequently report the vehicle dropping out of EV mode unexpectedly, even with a full battery charge, with the transition to gas or hybrid mode sometimes taking several seconds to complete. A related pattern involves the electric drive progressively reducing output, stepping down to roughly half power, then a quarter, then cutting out entirely, while the battery still shows adequate charge. The powertrain category adds a small but notable thread: a handful of owners describe the vehicle lurching or surging forward while stopped with the brake applied, in some cases contacting other vehicles. Electrical system complaints round out the picture, though specific symptoms vary across those reports.

By System
The 2025 Jeep Wrangler has 4 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: a high-voltage battery that can ignite while the vehicle is parked or moving, and a power steering pump wiring harness that can overheat and catch fire even with the ignition off.
The battery fire risk applies only to 4Xe plug-in hybrid models, where an internal failure in the high-voltage battery pack can start a fire without warning. The steering pump fire is unrelated to the hybrid system and can affect any Wrangler in the recall population, including while the vehicle sits unattended. On the visibility side, a pinched remote start antenna cable can prevent the tire pressure monitoring system warning light from coming on when one or more tires loses pressure, leaving the driver without a heads-up that a tire is underinflated. The rearview camera can also fail to display an image when reversing, due to contamination or a programming fault in the central vision processing module, reducing the driver's view of what is directly behind the vehicle.
