Tires display severe weather checking in the tread and sidewalk. Tires have less than 10000 miles. It was not garage kept and was used in college, so was not driven much during the winter. Notified Nexen and they were very rude. I told them they were take offs and they responded that they were technically used. I said they were taken off a brand new Jeep and were stored inside. They were only off the vehicle for about a month. Seller said he has not seen the issue with these tires and…

This is apparently an ongoing problem with all Jeep 4xe's that have passed the 68c recall. The vehicle will no longer operate in Electric mode in normal driving conditions, this is our second Wrangler 4xe and we have a total in excess of 50k miles of typical driving in Electric mode. The vehicle will no longer function safely in Electric mode as it did prior to the recall, it now fails to accelerate for minor hills and slows down to the point of causing following vehicles to come dangerously…

When driving on the highway the jeep would not accelerate. At about 60mph no matter how far I pushed the petal down it would only maintain speed. It happened again going much slower on local streets.

When driving down the road my jeep goes into an uncomfortable death wobble. It has already been to a dealer to fix this once but it isn’t . There is a weld defect in the driver side front and passenger door frame . When the electronics get hot from the summer heat they black out . The digital display is not calibrated to the odometer of the vehicle . The Jeep surges violently and almost caused a collision.

I am the owner of a 2023 Jeep Wrangler that is currently affected by an active safety recall. I was informed by my dealership that there is no available remedy and that a repair may not be available for approximately two to three months. I am concerned about being expected to continue operating a vehicle that has been identified as having a safety-related defect while no corrective action is available. As a consumer, I believe it is unreasonable to issue a safety recall without providing…

Since having the battery recall done in January, my Jeep is a completely different car. In electric mode, it can no longer go up hills without losing significant power to the point where it slows down a lot. I have to manually change it to hybrid mode so that I don't get rear ended. It will no longer quickly and effectively change by itself like it did before the software update. It has also been having issues with power when going around turns or accelerating from a stopped position. In…
