Instrument cluster failed. Jeep required me to send them the entire cluster (Vehicle Dash) in order for us to order new part. Submitting the cluster means I do not have access to the manual gages (speed, warning lights, and fuel gage). You also cannot hear your blinker signal or know if your high beams are on or off. You do not know how much gas in your tank and can run out at any given point (I have pictures of police helping as this happen to me; it is dangerous). There is an open file i have with jeep. They are aware of the issue. I told the dealership in Sept of 2024 it was flickering and they said it wasn't doing it when they had it serviced so there was nothing they could do. I took it in to another mechanic in May of 2025 once it was failed completely. Jeep informed my mechanic in May the part would be in. Then they emailed me (once i filed a compliant with their customer service )the part would be in by End of Aug. Now they are saying the End of September (subject to change). I requested a loaner vehicle in order to keep my family safe and they denied my request. The car was bought brand new and cannot be inspected until the dash is replaced. Jeep has old dash and has not provided me with the replacement part (I already paid for). It is dangerous. The reason we are told the part is not available is because many 2020 jeeps are having same issue.

I woke up one morning about 2 months ago, and the dash cluster was not working and has not worked since. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk" My safety and the safety of others are put at risk because I am unable to see critical information while driving, such as my speed, fuel level, and any potential engine warning lights. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the problem was confirmed by two different independent mechanics, both of whom stated that I need a new cluster. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or any other party besides the two mechanics. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" No, there were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before the cluster failed. The failure occurred suddenly.

My Display Cluster went blank all of a sudden while on a trip with no prior notice and I was unable to see any safety information for my vehicle, how much gas I have left, odometer readings or other important information which are needed to safely drive. I ran out of gas and was unable to get to the side of the road and all most got into an accident. There is a current safety recall for this problem (NHTSA ID Number: 24V652000 Instrument Panel Failure/FMVSS 101) for the JEEP WRANGLER2018-2024 issued on September 5, 2024 for the same problem I am experiencing with my vehicle The problem is for some reason My Vin number is not being included in the recall even though the Vehicle year model & problem matches the recall and the dealership/manufacturer are not honoring the repair needed.

The Instrument Cluster Panel has completely failed. The vehicle currently does not have odometer, tachometer, speedometer, fuel gauge, and other vital engine metrics displayed. Stellantis issued a recall due to poor design of the failed component for a small subset of affected vehicles, but does not include the majority of the vehicle population. Furthermore, the failed component is currently on a national shortage, making it impossible to repair.This is a major safety concern and needs to be investigated.

Component or System That Failed: The instrument cluster on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon failed on February 25, 2025. The dealership confirmed the part was defective and removed it from the vehicle. The failed component is not currently installed, but the dealership retained documentation of the diagnosis and can confirm the failure. Safety Risk: The failure of the instrument cluster renders the vehicle completely inoperable. Without this component, the driver cannot monitor critical safety information such as vehicle speed, warning indicators, or fuel level. Additionally, the extended parts backorder means the vehicle has been disabled for months, leaving me without safe transportation. If this type of failure were to occur while driving, it could result in a sudden loss of critical safety data and increase the risk of an accident. Problem Confirmation: Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the authorized Jeep dealership where the vehicle has remained since February 25, 2025. They diagnosed the instrument cluster as the root cause of the failure. Inspection by Manufacturer or Others: The vehicle was inspected and diagnosed by the Jeep dealership. Jeep/Stellantis Customer Care has also been notified and opened Case #93386471, but has not provided a resolution. No inspection by police, insurance, or other third parties has occurred. Warning Lamps, Messages, or Symptoms Prior to Failure: There were no warning lamps, error codes, or prior symptoms before the cluster failed. The failure was sudden, and the instrument cluster stopped functioning entirely on February 25, 2025.

The instrument panel cluster stopped working suddenly. It is a 2020 Jeep Wrangler with 72k miles. I know there is a recall NHTSA recall #24V652000 for some Jeep Wranglers 2018 - 2024 for the same issue. Mine needs to be included. I cannot tell how much gas I have, what speed I am going, or warning lamp information. There were no symptoms - it just stopped working while I was driving. The vehicle has been inspected by two vehicle repair/inspection stations and it is not a fuse or the alternator / battery. Therefore - it is the instrument panel cluster (IPC).

I was pulling into work when my dash lit up with all warning lights, I was unable to shut my vehicle off. I had to disconnect the battery to do so. After a couple hours of being disconnected, it operated normal. Few hours later, went to leave a store and it lit up again, this time my steering was nonfunctional. The common issue was the can buss connector. For several years this has been an issue, apparently a TSB was placed but I am unable to find it. This should be a national recall. This part controls literally every electrical component of this vehicle. It's I intermittent and unknown to when it will malfunction. This creates a huge hazard to driving as when it does malfunction, you're unable to steer, your vehicle can shut off, it's not safe at all. Then come to find that the part isn't even covered as a replacement on the TSB. There is no reason this part should not be recalled, how does a small plastic block become defective other than poor craftsmanship? When the vehicle can't communicate to the other parts (engine, transmission, steering, fuel system, etc) that is a huge problem and is not worth the risk of death because someone can no longer drive or steer when going 65 mph.

Jeep purchased in May of 2023. A few months later the Instrument Panel Cluster would go dark while driving for no reason at all. Taken to local trusted dealership to diagnose, found that the IPC needed to be replaced. Replacement performed & all costs associated were paid for by me, the vehicle owner ($748.90 in total). This issue has already been recalled for other 2020 Jeep Wranglers, as detailed in RCONL-24V652-2819. I am requesting that my Jeep be included as well.

The digital instrument cluster (Electronic Vehicle Information Center -?" EVIC) on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler has failed, and no longer displays critical vehicle information. This includes fuel level, engine and oil temperature, mileage, tire pressure, and other key dashboard data. This failure creates an unsafe driving condition due to the inability to monitor vehicle speed, engine status, or fuel availability. I brought the vehicle to the dealer, and they confirmed the cluster is nonfunctional, but also stated that my VIN is not covered under the existing recall. After extensive research, I discovered hundreds of reports from other Wrangler owners experiencing the same failure in 2018-?"2021 models, yet Jeep has only issued limited recall coverage, seemingly based on build date rather than known defective components. To make matters worse, no replacement parts are available, either through the dealership or third-party suppliers. I am now left without a fully functioning vehicle and no support or resolution from Jeep or its dealers. This is a widespread and well-documented issue that affects driver safety and should be subject to expanded recall or mandated remedy. I urge NHTSA to investigate why so many similar failures are not covered under existing recalls.

The vehicle will randomly show service shifter then it will loose power steering, gears won-??t change. It happened while driving on a winding road. Scary. The instrument cluster will show random erratic readings like mileage will be off. Temperature goes to zero fuel gauge misread vehicle get stuck into a higher gear and won-??t downshift doing research online I found a recall bulletin for 24V652000 and in that bulletin, it describes what my vehicle does, but my vehicle is not considered part of the recall bulletin. This vehicle is dangerous to drive on the road with the situation that can happen at any time.

My vehicle had a rough idling and then flashed an autostart symbol and stated on the dashboard that my autodash has been disabled. Later that day I drove my vehicle again, then the dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and every light was on and my car went limp. I pulled over on the side of the road and let my car stay off thinking it would help. Waited some time and tried to turn it on and it wouldnt turn back on until the 5th attempt. took my vehicle to jeep a few days later where they diagnosed it saying it needs a new ABS control module. However, the control module is on back order with no ETA in sight. There are multiple other people in my exact situation waiting 6+ months for their ABS control module. My car is undriveable as it has no traction control, will go limp, and no ABS system. I have been without my car for a month and they have not provided a loaner. To my research this has been an issue since september of 2023 and has yet to be a recall.
