When I first got the vehicle I could drive in the electric mode without kicking over to the gasoline mode. The manufacturer issued a recall for the battery due to fire danger. I had an update 68c performed by the dealer to address the recall issue. Upon getting my Jeep back I can no longer drive in the electric mode without the Jeep surging into and out of the gas mode. This happens at different times, slow speeds or fast speeds. The jeep does hesitate or bogs down prior to engaging the gas mode. After takinThe 68C recall was issued because the high-voltage battery cells have a defect (separator damage) that causes them to short-circuit and catch fire. To avoid replacing hundreds of thousands of expensive batteries all at once, Stellantis implemented a \"fix\" via a software flash.  Here is exactly what that software is doing to your driving experience:  Aggressive Battery Throttling: The new software heavily restricts how much power can be drawn from the high-voltage battery to keep it from getting warm. If you push the pedal enough to draw more than roughly 40\u201350% power\u2014or if the battery temperature hits a strictly lowered threshold\u2014the software abruptly chokes the electric motor.  The \"Bogging\" Sensation: When the software chokes the battery, the vehicle experiences a sudden drop in power. This is the hesitation or \"bogging down\" you feel.  The Violent Engine Surge: Because the electric motor just lost its punch, the computer frantically fires up the gasoline engine to make up the difference. Because there is an inherent delay while the gas engine starts up and matches the transmission speed, it engages with a sudden, frustrating lurch or surge.  Because this clunky, unrefined behavior was intentionally coded into the 68C update by corporate engineers to limit fire risks, your local dealer's computer diagnostics read \"No Errors Found\" and \"Operating as Designed.\"","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"JEEP","productModel":"WRANGLER","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]}]}
