In owners’ own words

Power train mileage not reported 1.3 yr in service
On 12/06/2024 while driving on highway around 65 mph, hear loud bang and vehicle shut off (no warnings). Thanks to quick action of drive alongside, was able to get to side of highway without accident. Would restart but would not go into gear. Upon towing to dealer, discovered catastrophic failure of rear shaft and rear differential. Drive shaft broke off the differential. Dealer waiting on back ordered parts before they can determine if problem was by driveshaft, differential, or some other part of the drivetrain.
Power train 5,000 mi 11 mo in service
The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the manual transmission failed to operate as designed, and the vehicle intermittently hesitated while shifting gear. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure or determine the cause of the failure. The dealer contacted the manufacturer about replacing the transmission under warranty; however, the manufacturer denied the request. The vehicle remained with the dealer unrepaired. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.
Power train mileage not reported 1.8 yr in service
Vehicle abruptly lost all power while driving, multiple panel lights, turtle mode. Twice now, first time at an intersection (April 10, 2025), second time on street in front of my house after pulling out of driveway. Loss of power steering, insufficient power to get back up driveway to garage. Towed both times. First time spent 18 days at dealer, "multiple DTC codes", no definitive diagnosis. Back at dealer now for past 11 days, no diagnosis yet. Could easily have been life-threatening situation if occured while driving on freeway or at speed. Apparently known problem with these Jeep HEVs.
Steering mileage not reported 8 mo in service crash / fire / tow
The shop is alleging that the Steering box failed causing the driver to loose control resulting in the death of the driver.
