  • Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners experienced issues after an over-the-air software update, rendering vehicles inoperable.
  • The update caused power terrain issues, with some vehicles unable to start or losing power mid-drive.
  • Jeep did not inform customers beforehand, leading to safety concerns and vehicles being towed to dealerships.
  • A second update has been pushed to revert the software to the previous version, but version numbers on Uconnect remain unchanged.
  • Owners are advised to avoid hybrid or electric-only drive modes if their vehicle is affected and to defer updates if their car is functioning normally.
  • Many owners remain without their vehicles as dealerships work on fixes.
