I think all 4xe should be brought in for service and check to ensure all the factory and dealer prep items were completed. @JeepCares

Is this survey still open? New members having issues may not have seen this or had an opportunity to respond. This list also doesn’t include the cause of my first weeks-long stint at the dealer for the ABS module as an option. And I believe recalls can and do happen in VIN batches. But I understand why Jeep may want to attempt to take care of things offline and avoid the public notice aspect of an actual recall. I am holding out some hope that some of the software updates help.1864[/ATTACH]
It has remained pinned to the top of the group for several weeks and receives votes regularly.Is this survey still open?

The thing I take issue with on this forum is people who are “sick of the negativity” or claim that we who post looking for answers or venting our concerns have ulterior motives or are spam/duplicate accounts. I don’t “work for Ford” or want a Bronco. I bought the Wrangler 4xe. I voted with my wallet—at significant cost. As did the others here posting their issues and legitimate concerns. This was a dream vehicle for us. I want to be a fanboy, too. But Jeep has thus far made that impossible for enough of us that it should matter a bit more than some of us feel it does. It sure doesn’t seem like just a few lemons… If issues would be addressed with openness and some effort at promptness (or at least real honesty about what is going on with the defects and delays) we could all get back to patting each other on the back for owning what should be an impressive, exciting vehicle.
Thanks for this post, I don't believe in Facebook and don't have an account. This is a good summary, please keep up posted on the results.This is a little survey we've had running for a while in the Wrangler 4XE Fans group on Facebook. While I fully agree there are a good number of issues, the problem is that the percentages just aren't enough to justify an actual recall. Recalls normally have to be safety issues that impact all or most of vehicles produced. I'm not saying that the issues aren't enormously frustrating. What I'm saying is that there is no proven large percentage of safety issues that would justify a recall.

My 2019 ram didn't even have a gas cap... it was a spring-loaded flap integrated with the filler neck, but it never caused an error. For the JL, I'd be happy if the current cap just provided more feedback. The resistance for the first 1/8 "turn to click" is the same resistance as the other clicks. It's hard to tell if it's actually tight. Small complain, but it's caused me 2 CELs in 5 fill-ups (40% failure rate). I know that if a family member tries using it, they will not get it on right.How on earth could they resolve people putting the gas cap on wrong with a recall? Come on Man!
It's not a problem with putting the cap on properly. The 4XE tank is pressurized, and I think the problem has something to do with the cap not holding that seal under pressure. My CEL has gone on when the cap was carefully placed on with extra clicks to ensure it was tight. Light has gone on 5 times now, each time after being cleared. We're aware of it and being extra careful and it still goes on.How on earth could they resolve people putting the gas cap on wrong with a recall? Come on Man!
Sounds like Jeep dealers should be giving out a complementary OBD II Scanner with every purchase. It sure would be nice if they redesign a no hassle, no wrong way up or down cap and mail them out to 4xe owners to resolve this asap.It's not a problem with putting the cap on properly.

Reading between the lines of what my dealer has told me (engineers are on it, fix is coming), this might actually be in the works.Sounds like Jeep dealers should be giving out a complementary OBD II Scanner with every purchase.

Tank is pressurized, which helps extend the life of fuel. Not uncommon in PHEVs where people may not use gas for weeks. So it needs a cap. It's also why the 4XE has a gas door button when other Jeeps don't. When you push that button, it depressurizes and then pops the door open.It has a gas cap?
