ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Vehicle was purchased on 5/22/2021 from dealer as new vehicle purchases (lease). On 5/23 less than 24 hours after delivery with 76 miles on the ODO, I got a (CEL) and numerous errors (service hybrid electrical vehicle system, service 4wheel drive system, vehicle charge fault with a red charge cord light indicator). Vehicle was returned to dealer on Monday morning with notice of issues. They diagnosed the vehicle for 1 day and returned it to me to continue to drive while they ordered parts. Vehicle was diagnosed with a P0AA6-00 “Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault.” Dealer stated vehicle was safe to drive and would contact when parts were received. On 6/08 vehicle was returned to service for incoming parts at 575 miles. Dealer stated FCA advised them to replace the Indicator lamp module but did not correct the issue and they could not return the vehicle to me as they stated "FCA said vehicle can not be placed back on road as it may catch fire or explode". Vehicle has been at the dealer with no return since 6/8/2021. They have changed 1 indicator lamp module, 2 battery heater/chiller modules, 3 PHEV main wire harnesses and have requested a 4th as they have not been able to make the previous 3 work/function. Vehicle has now been down 7months with now successful repair and parts not available until 1/02/2022 at the earliest. And vehicle now sits with 17 unresolved trouble codes.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

My Jeep, with less than 12,000 miles on it, had a catastrophic failure of the clutch pressure plate, which blew the clutch and tore a hole through the top of the bell housing, cutting the electrical wiring and coolant line. Car towed to dealer I originally purchased the Jeep from. My Jeep VIN was not included in the safety recall notice issued in February 2021, however, my Jeep's software was updated on the first service appointment in March 2021. This software update did not prevent the pressure plate from malfunctioning. The dealer is claiming this is a clutch failure due to driver error and is not acknowledging the other damage done to the engine and refuses to make good on their product failure.

I was running an errand. The jeep has been charging the whole night before so it had a full charge. After the hour long errand, I got back to the jeep and tried starting it up. On the dash, the check engine light, the wrench with a lightning bolt was on. On the dash, it’s says the “Service charging system” and “service Hybrid Electrical vehicle system” needs to be service. A little while later of trying to start up, the tow truck happened to start it up by pressing on the gas pedal after turning it on. It’s been in the shop for a week now.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

After 5 months and 5000 miles of use, the vehicle died hard while driving on the highway with "charging system error" and had to dangerously navigate to the shoulder. The vehicle was so broken not even the power locks would work. The dealer replaced the Power Distribution Unit (fuse box), but the part was the same, so they suspect it was an assembly issue. If you look at online forums, _dozens_ of people are having the same problem with this vehicle. What is even more concerning is that almost every person had a different fix - and many are having this as a repeat problem, with multiple people invoking the lemon law and having Jeep buy the vehicle back. This is very dangerous and broad issue. A recall is needed to protect the public. https://www.4xeforums.com/forums/2021-jeep-wrangler-4xe-general-discussion-forum.8/ https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/4xe-shut-down-on-highway-with-charge-error-think-i-know-what-causes-it-now.76544

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

I was driving down the highway when the engine on my Wrangler 4xe suddenly shut off forcing me to cut off traffic to get to the shoulder. Numerous error messages were displaying but I did not have time to see them all. Final message I could see was "Charging System Error". After turning the Jeep off then back one the problem cleared. I suspect this was caused by the Adaptive Cruise Control system. It had started to brake hard for a car not actually in my lane. At the same moment people were pulling in behind me to move over for a police car on the shoulder. The Adaptive Cruise Control started what was a hard brake check on this traffic, so I overrode it by pressing on the accelerator, at which point it died. At the dealer they determined from the codes that the transmission control unit had shut off the engine control unit. Otherwise nothing could be determined as being wrong with the vehicle. Seeing all the other complaints of similar incidents involving Wranglers I think there is bad software code in the vehicle's control systems.

Numerous error messages were displaying but I did not have time to see them all. Final message I could see was "Charging System Error". After turning the Jeep off then back one the problem cleared. I suspect this was caused by the Adaptive Cruise Control system. It had started to brake hard for a car not actually in my lane. At the same moment people were pulling in behind me to move over for a police car on the shoulder. The Adaptive Cruise Control started what was a hard brake check on this traffic, so I overrode it by pressing on the accelerator, at which point it died. At the dealer they determined from the codes that the transmission control unit had shut off the engine control unit. Otherwise nothing could be determined as being wrong with the vehicle. Seeing all the other complaints of similar incidents involving Wranglers I think there is bad software code in the vehicle's control systems.

Defect Description:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Excessive steering wheel play resulting in poor control and wandering while driving. Requires constant corrections to keep vehicle in the lane. Very dangerous at interstate speeds especially when passing other vehicles. I have returned to the dealer and they have no correction for this issue. I see there are many complaints on the internet about this same problem on 2021 Jeep Wranglers. Driving at higher speeds is dangerous!!
