Defect investigations (1)

An investigation means NHTSA has decided a pattern is worth examining. A preliminary evaluation is often closed with no action; an engineering analysis is the stage that usually precedes a recall.

Engine Stall With Intermittent Restart

PE24018

Still open preliminary evaluation · opened July 19, 2024

the electrical system, the engine, the engine and its cooling, the hybrid propulsion system

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 80 consumer complaints alleging an engine stall and loss of motive power on model year (MY) 2022 RAM 1500 pickup trucks and 2022 Jeep Wagoneer SUV vehicles. The particular engines in the subject vehicles are equipped with the Fiat Chrysler Automotive Group LLC (FCA) 5.7L Hemi eTorque system. The eTorque system is a mild hybrid system that lets the vehicle partially power itself. It accomplishes this by converting the captured energy from the braking system into electricity for the battery pack, which is then used to power a variety of electrical components. ETorque engines replace the alternator with a 48-volt battery-powered belt drive and a motor generator. The motor generator provides extra torque to the crankshaft during gear changes. Simultaneously, the motor generator uses the 48-volt battery pack to increase torque. Many of the complaints state that the vehicle's engine would shut off, often while travelling at slow speed, the vehicle would shift into park and apply the emergency brake. The vehicles were sometimes able to be restarted. In addition, complaints state that the malfunction warning light with the battery fault symbol appeared on the dash.  Many complaints state that a low voltage condition fault is present, sometimes not being able to restart the vehicle. On April 13, 2023, FCA announced recall 23V-265 describing a defect in certain 2021 Ram 1500 vehicles equipped with 5.7L eTorque engines.  The recall described a defect in the powertrain control module software can cause an incorrect fuel mixture condition in the engine, and result in an engine stall. In February of 2024, ODI provided the complaints on the 2022 Ram 1500 and Wagoneer vehicles to FCA. After reviewing the complaints, FCA stated that “the loss of motive power was likely not caused by an over rich fuel condition (as outlined in recall 23V-265), but rather some other cause (e.g., an electrical concern that causes the engine to shut down).” A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to assess the scope, frequency, root cause(s) and consequences of these loss/stall of motive power incidents.  Additionally, ODI may expand the scope of the subject population during the investigation, if needed. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.

SEATS

The button that folds the second row seat is located right on top of the seat and easily accessible to my child, especially when sitting in a car seat (sitting higher). We had multiple incidents where my child pressed it while I was driving and came flying forward with tremendous force and hurting himself by the front seat. It’s an extremely easy button to press for any child and the seat folds with strong force. I had to put tape on the button so my kids shouldn’t be able to press it.

ENGINE

fire

My car blew an engine while I was inside the car. The car was in park and running in a parking lot when the parking brake automatically engaged unexpectedly. Then, the gauge cluster instructed me to press the brake and push the start/stop button. I then got a warning on my gauge cluster, this time notifying my car entered starter protection mode. Repeating the process three times, me, my four year-old daughter, and were put at high risk of suffering burns as my car started to give off a burning smell of oil, as well strong white smoke from the hood, and shut off the car and opened the hood to release the smoke. If I had waited longer, there would have been a fire. The car is available upon

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Liftgate Latch Assembly Failure: The vehicle experienced an internal electrical short circuit and hardware failure within the power liftgate latch assembly. This defective latch caused a severe parasitic 12V battery drain that repeatedly rendered the vehicle completely dead, leaving it unexpectedly stranded. The hardware failure also triggered a software error loop that locked the power liftgate into an inoperable mode (3-beep lockout). Replacing the liftgate latch assembly successfully resolved the liftgate operation and eliminated the parasitic drain. Uconnect 5 Software Defects: Independent of the physical liftgate issue, the Uconnect 5 infotainment system (currently running software

POWER TRAIN
I own a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer with the 5.7L HEMI eTorque system. The vehicle has lost all power while being driven on two separate occasions. The first occurred on October 22, 2025, on a major interstate. The second occurred on January 30, 2026, on a state highway. In both cases the engine shut off without warning while the vehicle was in motion, with my wife and four children aboard. Power steering and braking assist were lost. The vehicle locked into Park, and I could not get power to shift into neutral or restart it. The January 30 incident required towing. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic, who was unable to replicate the problem. Since the second failure, I have observed that system

SEATS

1 injured

The right second row passenger seat in a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer appeared to be pushed fully rearward into its normal seating position and produced an audible/tactile click. No warning lamp or message indicated that the seat was not latched. While traveling approximately 40 to 45 mph, the driver had to brake hard. During braking, the entire right second row seat moved rapidly forward and pinned a child and the child restraint against the front passenger seat. The child struck the side of her head, was evaluated in an emergency department, and was diagnosed with a mild concussion. After the vehicle stopped, the seat was pushed rearward only to free the child. It then latched and is currently
