2022 JEEP WAGONEER Complaints

We bought the vehicle new in 2022. There have been intermittent issues with emergency braking while going in reverse that we wrote off to sensor issues and never reported. Last weekend the Electrical system went haywire. Lots of flashing lights, sounds under the dash, etc. Engine quit and would not start. Was able to get to the dealership after changing the battery. Battery warning light and check engine light never cleared. Dealership is saying it is the 48v battery issue so I wanted to report it.

Dec 17, 2024 2022 Wagoneer was dropped of for service for a slight rattle in the engine. It was determined that the cams and shifters were “over-torqued” and had thrown metal shavings into the engine. This would require a full engine replacement which was conducted over the course of nearly 4 months. This is a reported and known issue/defect for Wagoneer. It was picked up March 28, 2025. On April 11, 2025 I experienced a full mechanical and/or electrical catastrophic failure while driving. The vehicle would not accelerate or brake. Multiple warnings and failures lit up the dash: service engine, oil pressure, throttle, etc. The emergency brake engaged, the engine very loudly shook, rattled and died. When trying to engage brake to put vehicle in neutral to be towed we heard a series of clicks and a pop and the engine began to smoke near drivers side. Stellantis refuses to acknowledge the recurring issues in these engines and continues to deny our buy back claim. These vehicles are dangerous. This experience violates every customer protection in this country and Stellantis should be held accountable for taking millions of dollars from customers knowing this issue is recurring. We are still hoping for a positive resolution.

Driving vehicle home on main highway at 55MPH, had been driving for about 15 miles. vehicle completely shut down. Engine shut off, power steering failed, lights shut off, everything electric shut down. was unable to steer the vehicle to the shoulder and it rolled to a stop in the middle of the 2 lane road in the dark. once it stopped it locked into park and couldnt be pushed off the road. Hazard lights would not work either car was completely blacked out in the middle of the road, and would not restart. Car behind us saw us in time and stopped and turned on their hazard lights till the fire department arrived to flag traffic. towed vehicle to dealership. at dealership the next day the vehicle started like nothing was wrong, showed no codes. Dealership kept vehicle for 10 days and couldnt get the vehicle to duplicate the incident. they drove the car almost 100 mile and found nothing.

We issued a complaint on 12/2/2024 (#11628353). The dealership found our alternator to be faulty which caused the battery to fail the SUV to completely shut down. This happened again to us on 4/6/2025 with a full vehicle of passengers. The low battery warning appeared on the screen, we lost power steering, we lost our ability to brake, there is no emergency break when all systems are shutting down and then we lost all power to the vehicle. This all happened in a matter of 2 minutes. Thank god we were on a side road without any cars parked on the side of the road for us to pull over on. Stellantis needs to resolve these safety issues. We had elderly people with us during this last incedent, they were all scared. It is getting dangerous owning and operating a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer.

I’m experiencing a persistent issue with my truck. Once the vehicle exceeds 75 mph, it begins to shake significantly. I have taken it to three different Jeep dealerships, but none have been able to identify or resolve the problem. I was advised that the tires might be the cause, so I replaced all four tires with new ones. However, the issue still persists. After researching online, I’ve found that many other Jeep Wagoneer owners are reporting the same problem, which suggests this may be a common issue. I’m seeking a thorough inspection and a more definitive diagnosis, as the situation not only affects performance but also raises safety concerns.

Auto was being towed by my RV. Frame rail extension welds on vehicle failed and vehicle broke loose and struck utility pole destroying it. Could have hit oncoming traffic or innocent bystanders. Vehicle being inspected by Chrysler third party inspectors and State Farm Insurance. I believe “cold welds” to be responsible in a critical frame part. There are several hundred of these vehicles being towed “four down” and pose a serious public risk. Vehicle is available for inspection at this time. There were no warning lamps

on 2 occasions, the car has shut down at a stop and killed the engine. Car had to be placed in park and restarted. Most recently, the car suddenly shut off while moving. The control panel flashed low battery and shut down systems. It disabled the power steering and shut down all power including the engine, thankfully this didn't cause an accident, but would have been a very dangerous situation if traveling at higher speed . Car couldn't be restarted, when trying to it would shift itself from drive to park and die again. After about 30 minutes, the car started when jumped. All gauges read correctly and didn't indicate any low battery issues. When in for service approximately 2 weeks ago, dying at a stop was discussed with the dealer and they said they weren't aware of any issues and would need to keep the car for potentially weeks to diagnose the issue. That issue was is far less severe than dying while moving. Attempting to get in for service ASAP. Looks like there is already an open investigation into the issue.

Front right tire always has balding on the outside. Had multiple alignments. Had it into the dealership several times, always told they can’t find anything wrong. On third set of tires always having tires rotated when supposed to. Clearly something is wrong with this uneven tread.

The vehicle wouldn't start once i started it the start stop light warning lamp illuminated. When i got to the redlight it stopped and shut off. I had the battery checked and it was ok but the auxilary battery was drained. I had the software updated a couple months back on a recall. It has a TSB u0485-00 that may be the problem. Stellantis has several star online pubs about it. They say since it had 36600 miles and was in Canada first for 10000 miles they won't fix it the cost is mine unless there is a recall. They said they has been hundreds of people with the problem but not enough for the recall.

The contact stated while parking the vehicle in the contact's residential driveway, the brake pedal was depressed, however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended.

The contact was advised that the service brake control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, however the contact was informed that the vehicle needed to be inspected by the corporate inspector before it could be released. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.
