On 4/28/26, my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited suffered a catastrophic high-voltage system failure, causing the vehicle to completely shut off at highway speeds on a live road. Stuck on the highway for nearly 3 hours at around rush hour blocking one lane of traffic. The dealership (Ourisman Jeep) diagnosed a failed 48V Hybrid Power Pack Unit (Part #68381513AA) under STAR Order #9575**. This sudden loss of power on the highway is a severe safety defect, and the manufacturer is refusing to cover the $3,327.94 repair or the resulting 3-week rental vehicle loss of use."
On April 13, 2026, at approximately 67,312 miles, my vehicle experienced a fuel system failure when the main fuel supply line leading to the high-pressure fuel pump cracked and began actively leaking raw gasoline onto the top of the transmission in the engine compartment. There were no prior dashboard warning lights or error messages; the only symptom leading up to the failure was a extremely strong odor of raw gasoline coming from the engine bay area. I believed this fuel leak created an immediate, severe risk of an engine compartment fire. I immediately brought the vehicle to an authorized factory dealership, where certified technicians acting on behalf of the manufacturer inspected the system, confirmed the active leak emitting raw fuel odors, and successfully removed and replaced the failed supply line to resolve the issue. If needed, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Furthermore, my vehicle is factory-equipped with the 2.0L Turbo engine, meaning this failure is identical to the documented fire hazard covered under FCA Safety Recall Y10 (NHTSA Campaign 21V-665). Even though my specific production sequence was not actively flagged under the manufacturer's recall lookup system, I believe the component failed in the exact same hazardous manner described in the official recall.

Upon further inspection, the contact became aware of gasoline leaking from the fuel supply line onto the engine. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact stated that the fuel leak was associated with NHTSA Campaign: 21V665000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
The contact owned a 2020 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that there were strong fumes coming from the vehicle, causing the contact to sustain severe headaches and nausea. The contact had gone to the Doctor's Office, where blood work was completed. The contact was informed that no issues were found, and the Doctor inquired whether the contact had been exposed to any chemicals. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that fuel was leaking from a cracked quick connect and was entering the high fuel pump. The dealer determined that the high-pressure fuel pump lines needed to be replaced. The dealer related the failure to an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact stated while driving approximately 10-20 MPH off a ramp, the contact noticed smoke in front of the vehicle. The contact looked at the instrument cluster, and upon looking up, the contact noticed fire coming from underneath the hood. The contact depressed the brake pedal and jumped out of the vehicle while the vehicle was still rolling. The contact had not pulled over. The contact did not sustain injuries from the fire. A nearby Police Officer notified the Fire Department and Emergency Services because the contact had jumped out of the moving vehicle without the cellphone. The fire was extinguished by the Fire Department. The front end and the hood of the vehicle were burned to the ground. It was unknown whether a Fire Department Report was filed. A Police Report was filed. The vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss by the Insurance Provider. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 134,959.
The IPC intermittently goes blank and I lose driver information like remaining fuel and speed limit and other safety information. The IPC also turns green and gets distortion.
I have a cracked fuel line identical to the Y10 recall but outside the recall dates.
I am the owner of a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL with the 2.0L turbo engine, and I am writing to report a fuel leak issue that I believe is related to Recall Y10 / NHTSA Campaign 21V-665, which involves the high-pressure fuel supply line (Part #68297642AD). My vehicle is experiencing a strong fuel smell and visible fuel leak, and a technician confirmed the failure of the fuel line. However, my VIN does not currently show as included in the recall, and I have been told the repair is not covered under warranty. Given that my Jeep has the same engine, same part number, and identical symptoms described in the official recall — I’m requesting one of the following: That the dealer be allowed to inspect the fuel line’s date code and replace it under Recall Y10 if it falls within the affected range, or That Jeep/Stellantis cover the cost of the repair as a goodwill safety-related assistance, since the failure occurred outside the normal warranty but is consistent with the recall defect. I take safety very seriously, and I hope Jeep does too. Please let me know what documentation or diagnostics you need from my service provider to support this request.
There was a crack, and subsequent leak, in the fuel line to the engine. My safety, and my passengers safety was absolutely put at risk as that could have ignited a fire at any moment. I took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the problem. No warning lamps appeared, however, the smell of gas was very strong in and near the vehicle.

Digital display that shows speed and fuel level stops working and goes black while driving. Happened in 2024 and the display was replaced at my cost. New display experienced the same blackout in January 2025. Manufacturer is unable to deliver a new replacement display to their dealership to fix the vehicle. It has been almost 5 months without any resolution in sight. Other owners who have used my carwash have mentioned similar experience
The instrument panel cluster in the 2020 Wrangler Sahara seems to have failed. As such, the driver cannot read the gas gauge, tire air pressure, and other vital metrics. There is a recall on this issue (30B), however my VIN is not included. I would kindly ask to see if my VIN should be included. The Wrangler has approximately 57,000 miles. This problem has been diagnosed by Capitol Garage in Willimantic, CT, Gary Bennett (Service Advisor). 860-786-4759 Jeep Customer Care Case # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Had gas leak on lower part of engine leaking gas from the high pressure fuel line took it to a dealer ro so the repairs Jan 29th 2025 and my jeep is still not right ..it had no mechanical problems at all except the leak and now they have had to replace the reservoir for coolant due to broken damaged line and the vehicle has no power at all since the dealership has had possession of my vehicle ...it is the 2.0 liter turbo
I am experiencing a recurring issue with my vehicle’s gas cap. The check engine light continues to come on due to the gas cap, and this has happened multiple times. This is the third occurrence this year, and despite ensuring that the cap is properly secured, the issue persists. I am concerned that this may indicate a defect in the gas cap or an issue with the sealing mechanism. I would appreciate any assistance in determining whether this is part of a known recall or if there is a recommended fix.
In the document (ZD8), although my VIN does not appear, I have unfortunately encountered the SAME EXACT problem. My Jeep first exhibited this issue back in 2022, and I managed to repair it at that time without being aware of the existing recall. As it stands, my vehicle is now at the dealership again, plagued by the SAME recurring issue. In trying to resolve this, I have tirelessly reached out to every dealership within a 75-mile radius of Katy. However, none of them have the requisite part(s) available in their inventory. To worsen the situation, I have been informed that I would be placed on an exceptionally lengthy waiting list. I strongly urge you to conduct a thorough reevaluation since it's apparent that this issue extends beyond the limited number of VINs currently covered in the document. At one distressing moment, this defect triggered a heart-stopping warning while I was driving on the highway: “Find a safe place to pull over; your vehicle is about to turn off.” Furthermore, this is the second occasion on which I have been compelled to address and replace the same issue. This situation is increasingly untenable, and it's vital that comprehensive action is taken to address this widespread problem rather than limiting focus to just the few VINs listed in file (ZD8).
Smelling raw gas..took to mechanic and it has a cracked fuel line and bad connector on it ..it is pouring gas oit and has been undrivable for over 4 weeks it has the 2.0 liter motor In it ...
Loss of power. Vehicle went into limp mode. Codes P00AF, P24B1 and P1DB1. Vehicle only has 28,500 miles and is having constant electrical issues.
Dealership diagnosed leaking fuel line to engine - exact same issue as Y10 Recall, but my VIN is not covered. I would like my VIN included in the Recall.
Fuel supply connect locking device failure. Attempted to start vehicle and fuel leaked beneath mid section of vehicle about a gallon. Engine was cold as well as exhaust and caticlic converter. Safety Hazard to occupants fire/explosion. Vehicle towed to Oak Harbor, Washington dealership for repair. Safety retaining clips missing which allowed fuel lines to open and leakage.
I have been on multiple wait lists to have the recall correction for the HPFP, but the dealers I have contacted in the Fresno area have told me they have not received the parts to make the correction. I’ve been on these waitlists for well over a year with no updates.
Strong gas smells inside and outside if the vehicle.
The fuel supply line leading from the gas tank, along the passenger side of the transmission, and over the top of the transmission bell housing has failed and is leaking gas onto the transmission and then onto the ground. This is a dangerous fire hazard and placed my safety at risk. I have not yet taken the vehicle to a repair facility as I live over 30 minutes away from the nearest dealership. I am the only person that has inspected the vehicle and observed the leak using a remote camera as of the filing of this complaint on 7-18-24 at 1:30 pm. There were no warning lamps or messages associated with this part failure. I could smell a strong odor of gasoline fumes from within the vehicle which prompted me to inspect what the source was. As I understand, a previous recall for this part failure was issued in 2021, but did not include my VIN.
