Pretty sure Jeep makes SUVs, not batteries. I’ve had my 2022 Rubicon 4xe for 18 months and I’ve been very pleased with it. These are new cars with new tech. If you don’t want problems just buy the tried and true ICE power plants!

Nothing from Stellantis is tried and true ICE powerplants.

All these new vehicles have a lot of tech in them now, and are having issues.

These new vehicles ain't like the JK and previous Wranglers.

I talked to one earlier this week. They said Jeep isn't doing buybacks but they are doing cash settlements that are typically enough to soak up any negative equity you may have.

My parents have a 22 GC 4XE and I have a 23 wrangler 4XE. Jeep told us both not to plug in, not to park in the garage & not to park near other vehicles. They offered my parents $4500 compensation and if they took that settlement, they had no future recourse. They also had their car at the dealership for 6 weeks due to an electrical system failure while they waited for parts to fix it.

My jeep has now lost power 6 times while driving on the freeway, has been serviced for a transmission leak and TCM failure causing the car to stall. The dealership just had my car for 12 days over Thanksgiving and the very next day after I got it back, check engine light threw the same trouble code. When coming to a stop it abruptly and independently shifts to park as if the door was opened while driving and just yesterday it decelerated to 0mph from 60 while driving on the freeway, with no warning, no dash light, or message. I dropped it off at the dealer today. We both are pursuing lemon law cases.

Request a “ Rental Car “ reimbursement by Jeep . It is not the dealer that owes you transportation. Find something to do in the area even a restaurant you don’t usually go to, so it is not your only reason to go there . You have not lost any depreciation. Until you sell it . The commercials. In 2009 telling you you should stop paying your mortgage because you owe more on your house then it was worth was bad information.

Just pulled into my dealer. They’re going to drive me home and pick me up later today when finished. Good service so far. 63 mpg average so far at around 20K miles.

Got mine done today in SC while I took it in for the 20k mile service. Took most of the day, but the battery passed. Dealership had 2 other customer 4xe’s on the charging machines getting ready for their own drive tests when I picked up mine.

Hi, just wanted to clarify that it was your Wrangler and not the Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Thanks

You can, but it is also a good way to tell if they did the test or not.

I've been seeing more and more reports of dealers skipping the drive cycle test and just doing the software flash.

I first started hearing this also, from Wrangler4xeFans' latest post, notably the comments section.
That's concerning!
How does the system/software allow the drive portion being skipped and still assign "passing" grades?
That sounds like a massive liability, no?

It doesn't. They just finish the software updates and ignore the rest.

Just spoke to my dealership and they are not trained to fix it and won’t be until mid 2025. So now I have to research and get my jeep to another location at my expense. Plus it is worth roughly half what it was when I bought it. Comedy of errors by jeep. I’d trade it tomorrow but doesn’t make financial sense. I’ll never buy another jeep product after TEN previous vehicles. The have a “buy back” team, but that was declined without explanation.

Their buyback team is a black box BS team of lawyers that neither you nor the ‘meat shield’ customer service representative gets to interact with. It’s garbage, and they’re doing everything in their power to decline everything and force litigation — assuming some breakage.

What they’re forgetting is that the Jeep folks like on these threads won’t forgive them. At least if you’re not irrationally wed to the brand, which like you, I am not.

 

[Johnb300m]

It doesn't. They just finish the software updates and ignore the rest.

Yeah but if the driving portion is ignored, how is that counted as "passed" when half the operation is basically missing?

 

[IslanderOffRoad]

It can't. They're likely saying "passed" when what they mean is "the software updated successfully."

 

[Johnb300m]

It can't. They're likely saying "passed" when what they mean is "the software updated successfully."

So then the recalls should NOT be categorized as "complete" on the Mopar and NHTSA sites unless the road portion is also fully completed.
Correct?

I would say so. But I don't know enough about how that gets marked off to know if the dealer can somehow circumvent that.

It isn't a pass, but if the dealer goes in and checks the box saying they did it, it shows up as passed. They won't have the software verification from the drive test they're supposed to have, etc.

Correct.

Mine was vompleted as passed and they provided the codes , but I know for sure there wasn't a road test based on mileage . Are you staying there has to be a road test to know it is successful?

 

[FL4xe]

This is posted in another thread but I think it may not have been viewed by all affected owners that could benefit from it.

 

[Clutch Auto Deals]

Are you staying there has to be a road test to know it is successful?

Yes, the road test is required.

 

[Brainblack]

They want it at zero charge

The dealer I’m using told me to bring it charged. Says it saves time.

 

[Johnb300m]

Well that sounds like a problem considering I'm already seeing numerous people commenting that they got the recall done "passed" and have seen no/very little change in their odometer, in vs out.

 

[b11wheat]

I called my dealer back, they agreed that the drive part wasn't done and needed to be . I have to bring it back this week.
