2022 JEEP WAGONEER Complaints

On two occasions, the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer Series II completely shut down and locked up while driving at speed. The steering wheel locked, the brakes wouldn't work and the engine and all electrical components went offline. In both cases, the vehicle was uncontrollable as it grinded eventually to a stop. The first occasion put us in a ditch. The second occasion nearly hit a construction worker. Children were onboard both times. After the first incident, we were able to get the vehicle to start again after a couple of hours. With all warning lights on we drive it slowly back to the dealership. They were unable to reproduce the problem and said that it needed a lot of software updates which they performed. Four months later it happened again. This time it could not be started and it was towed to the dealership who also has not been able to get it to come online. Less concerning from a safety standpoint is that it occasionally won't wake up after being parked. Sometimes opening the hood and slamming it shut gets it to wake up.

Started with the cold weather in December. I got a notification that I need to service the Power Steering system. Lasted for two drives and then went away. Approximately two weeks later, while driving my family in town, the power steering light came on again. Came to a stop at a stop sign and the car put itself in Park. The car put itself in park three more times in a span of 5 minutes of driving. The Forward collision warning light came on and would not let me drive forward. While driving, the electronic parking break came on and I almost lost control of the vehicle and fishtailed. Once I got to my driveway, the car struggled to make it up the driveway and once I put the car in park, it died. I had to jump the car to get it to the street. Once at the bottom of my driveway, the car struggled in reverse on a flat service. Service department has had the vehicle for a week and the last update that i have gotten was that the engineering department has to order a battery for my vehicle and that they are unsure what the problem is.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated while reversing out of the driveway, there was a loud booming sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the rear driver’s side rim and tire had exploded, leaving shards of metal and rubber on the ground. The contact also discovered that a single suspension arm was unsecured and missing a bolt and the nut. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,000. The VIN was not available.

ABS lock up and collision avoidance system (blindspot sensor) failures - The vehicle has been serviced unsuccessfully 5 times now for shaking and vibration on the highway, software failures and blind spot collision avoidance sensor failures. Twice since I picked it up at the dealership on Saturday 9/17 (5th visit), the ABS has noted a system failure on the dash. It also shut down the collision avoidance system several times after noting a blindspot sensor failure. However, today after it noted the ABS failure, the brakes locked up the rear tires while braking. I reached out to Wagoneer on Saturday, and again twice today by phone and once by email to the rep at FCA and have not gotten a return call or email.

From the 1st day the rear air system never worked. I thought I was not doing something correctly. Took car back to dealership only to be told the motor blowout because the wiring shortened out. So now they dealership has the car and can’t tell me when I will receive my car back. $84000 car that has electrical issues from day one seems like a Lemon and I should be able to get my money back along with my trade in , 2020 Jeep Wrangler. I have owed 4 previous Jeep and never had any issues. This is very concerning that a car I purchased on 8/20/22 has an electrical issues that short out the claimant control unit .

The initial unresolved issue is a slight tremor at speeds above 70mph. I was told that because of the speed limit that this occurs, it is above the limit of area the dealership. The are not able to road test for the issue. New issue is my Wagoneer is slipping into four wheel drive. I received a software update and now there’s a churning underneath my truck and it has become more of a strained ride As if it’s lagging but no longer slipping into 4 wheel drive. May have been damaged during the slippage and the commute to my residence.

As I was pulling up to a red light, the vehicle threw itself into park and completely stopped and would not move. I was unable to put gear into drive. Thankfully, I was not going at full speed. After a couple minutes, I was able to put my foot on brake to restart the car. At this point, the engine and battery light were on as well. My fear is what would have happened had the brake auto-engaged at full speed or the highway? There were no issues with this prior to this happening. It has been taken to dealership for repair and has been escalated with a STAR case to get additonal engineer input. Given the dangerous nature of what occured, I wanted to report now even though I'm not sure what the resolution will be to fix it.

Major issues with the collision avoidance system - blind spot sensors continue to fail and shut off sporadically, or sensors in the mirror light up making you think you are about to hit someone when no one is near your vehicle. Has also shut down collision avoidance system and dinged multiple errant warnings for 3-5 minutes so badly we had to pull over and restart the vehicle. Additionally, the vehicle shakes in the steering wheel and passenger front seat intermittently between approximately 65-77 mph. They told us it was bad Nexen tires so we paid ~$1k to replace them and they replaced a defective rim. Vehicle is still having the same issues. This started at just over 2k miles. Vehicle was purchased in May 2022. Vehicle has been in the shop 4 times now and over 30 days to attempt repairs on the same issues. I do not feel safe driving my family in this vehicle. The Series III Wagoneer loaner that dealership just provided (with under 3k miles) is also having the same shaking / vibration issue and failure of the navigation system, but the shaking and vibration in the loaner is worse than in ours.
