Used 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Consumer Reviews
Will end up killing you
Bought this Jeep last August 2021and it has already died on us twice. First time it happened was December last year while my son was driving on the highway the engine just died-all electronics and mechanical- just completely dead, thankfully my son was able to get it on the shoulder and nothing happened to him. Then this past weekend it went dead again despite being charged over nght and being used everyday. The door wouldn't open with the key fob and the engine wouldn't start at all. I gave it a jumpstart and the hybrid battery was charged 99% and the car battery readout was 12.2. We drove it to the jeep dealership where we bought it and it's been there for days and they still can't figure out what's wrong. If I can just give this back I will, It's a nice toy but not worth the hassle and the danger.

Plug-in convertible — loads of fun!
I’ve had zero concerns with my Sahara 4xe after 13k miles. It has all the non-drivetrain DIY improvements you can make on all Wranglers. I keep the roof and doors off from May-October and I get about 27 miles of pure electricity on a charge. The engine sounds pretty rough the first 10k, but with the oil change it starts to sound a bit better. Much quieter than my ‘17 Sahara. For long trips it isn’t going to get even decent gas mileage, but for the daily driver you can really cut back on gas consumption. The OEM Bridgestone Duelers tires aren’t anything special and I would recommend getting a more rugged set if you are doing anything more than gravel. The concerns I had when I got it in August ‘22 were reports of the wrangler 4xe suddenly turning off while driving. This turned out to be a decent amount of cars with loose fuses. I checked mine and there were probably 10 or so loose (not good!) about a week after purchase. They’ve stayed in place since then. Another big concern that people would mention was a F.O.R.M. Notification. This meant that the car would not turn off the engine even when the battery was full. This primarily occurred when the gas would start to degrade (I’ve gone more than 5 weeks at a time without filling up even a 1/4 tank), or regular oil service was due and the oil was past prime. Getting the oil service would clear it and expending all but an 1/8 of a tank then refilling it would clear the other FORM notification.

Best Jeep ever
I have 2 4xe vehicles; a 2021 and 2023. I drive the '21 and my wife the '23. They don't behave exactly the same even though during the week we both travel the same route. Hers may when the OAT is down around 0 deg C or colder run mostly on the gas engine whereas the '21 uses the electric motor. Our dealer says this is not adjustable. Interior is very well done. Robust everywhere. If I hit a moose at night one of us will die and I don't think it will be me. They are fantastic in the snow and we have lots of it in northern Canada. I have 34k KM on mine and zero issues. I'm an engineer and technically speaking this is the best engineered vehicle i've ever owned.

2022 4xe Dangerous
I purchased a 2022 4xe July 2022 for my daughter and 8 months later the car died. Dealer replaced radio and battery and stated it was a glitch in the radio. Two days after I got the Jeep back it died again. Dealer again replaced radio and battery stating there was a short in the radio. Three weeks later the car died while driving on the road. Completely shut down! Thank goodness she was able to move to the shoulder. Towed to dealer again. Initiated Lemon law case. This is now a safety issue and dangerous on the road. Three times within a 5 week period at the dealer for repair. First time buying a Jeep and the last!! If I could rate it a "zero" I would.

Hybrid scam. Not working as advertised. 20 mpg
The car looks really nice and so far no complaints besides the complete Electric/Hybrid mode being a scam. The car has about 7000 miles on it and refuses to drive in electric mode and even in Hybrid mode, the gas mileage is about 20 mpg - utterly pathetic. Jeep does not care and there are discussions in Jeep forums about a class action lawsuit. Google "4xe electric mode currently unavailable" and you will find pretty much every single 4xe victim complaining about Jeep's scam. Ours will be back at the shop the second time tomorrow and after that, will be returned under the lemon law.
