ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

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.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
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.

SUSPENSION
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE:BODY
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

WHEELS, SUSPENSION
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While sitting at a stop light my vehicle started malfunctioning and put itself into park. Several different warnings came across the screen and I was unable to change gears or start my car for a while. Finally my car allowed me to push the break and restart the vehicle. A warning light came on with an “A!” But then was no longer on the screen once I turned my vehicle off and back on.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Vehicle purchased on September 7, 2022, with 16,182 miles. It was sold to me with an open recall. Late December 2023, I complained about car not starting on a frequent basis. Roadside assistance was called to jumpstart battery. Every time the vehicle was jumpstarted the check engine light remained on for days to up to two weeks. January 5, 2023, vehicle went to repair shop, techs claimed nothing was wrong, vehicle returned to repair shop 5x within a 4-to-5-month period for the repair shop to decide it needed a new auxiliary battery. Unfortunately, the fix was temporary as it began to fail again and now leaving me on the road stuck. I drive, I stop at a stop sign or red light, or intersection as I move to turn, car shut off. Almost causing several accidents. I was on the highway when my GPS started glitching and shut off, turn back on and some of my safety icons would stop functioning. I strongly believe this car has major electrical issues that the repair shop cannot seem to find what is actually causing the battery to fail or die. When a repair is done the main issue is never totally corrected and other issues arise. November 9, 2024, vehicle went to repair shop, again they can't seem to find what's wrong. November 18, 2024, it was towed again for same issue, it is now January 12, 2025, and my vehicle is still in the shop. About a week ago they told me that "they think was causing the battery to fail is the sideboard that seems to not work properly" and they cannot guaranty me that that's it. I asked the repair shop for the Multi Vin Summary Report, and I am at total disbelief at the amounts of visits this vehicle has been in the repair shop before I purchased this vehicle. Since I purchased this vehicle, it has 12 confirmed repair visits, with 3-4 recalls and not to mention the visits that's nothing wrong was found. Prior owner had 6 repairs and 2 recalls. Totally unsafe on the road!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
We were bringing our 2022 wagoneer to the dealership to have them investigate an issue with the battery light coming on this morning. While driving on interstate 95 north, all power cut out on the car, the power steering stopped working and the brakes failed. My husband had to navigate across 4 lanes of traffice with now power or brakes or steering to get to the shoulder. The car was towed to our dealership, and they indicated our alternator died and battery died. There were no check engine lights indicating we had an alternator issue or that we should not drive the car in for service. We talked to the service department about the batter light the morning of 12/2/2024 and they had us drive it in. This needs to be looked at as it was a very dangerous situation to navigate on the interstate.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I was driving on the highway when suddenly, my car started acting up. The lights on the dashboard started flashing one by one, from the check engine light to the battery light, and then everything went black. The infotainment system also went out, and I couldn’t control the car anymore. I was going at 65 miles per hour, and I had no steering or brakes. I did some research and found out that this is a very common problem with this vehicle. It’s a serious safety hazard for my family and me. I would really appreciate it if Jeep could look into this issue and do a full recall until it’s fixed. If they don’t, someone could get hurt or even die.

Vehicle was being driven when all lights came on the dash and vehicle stopped running and came to a stop. Vehicle than engaged the emergency brake by itself. After shutting off the ignition, i was not able to turn the vehicle back on. Vehicle has 38460 miles. I had to have the vehicle towed directly to the dealership, Marino Jeep in Chicago,Il. The dealer came back two days later and stated the battery and ibs sensor required replacement. They could not tell why it stopped running and locked up. This vehicle is currently not safe as there is no guarantee it will not happen again.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I have had extensive issues with the 2022 Wagoneer Series III. Battery has failed, leather seats show wear and signs of peeling after 2 years, main car display blacks out repeatedly, moon roof rattles, heated seats have gone out TWICE in front seats and needed to be replaced, the list goes on. Most recently, the power steering went out while I was driving. I called the dealership and they told me it was likely a fluke and to keep driving it. 4 days later, an automatic update was installed and now the Forward Collision Warning light is on. I don't know whether the collision system will work or not - can't test it, obviously. My safety is obviously at risk. Power steering stops mid-drive. Anti-collision system errors out. These most recent issues started on November 1, 2024.
