The contact owned a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 3-4 MPH and coming to a stop, the ABS, check engine, TPMS, and power train warning lights and other unknown warning lights illuminated, before the vehicle shut off. The contact's wife was unable to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer received remote assistance from Chrysler's engineers; however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was traded for another vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 44,380.
When you turn on the heated seats, they stay on for minutes before turning off. Jeep fixed the one side under -??basic warranty-?? but refuse to fix the other side.
On April 4, 2024 while driving southbound on I-95 in Connecticut between exit 3 and 2 in Greenwich, all of the dashboard warning indicators lit up, and the brakes failed. I was able to slow to a stop avoiding hitting other vehicles, and moved to the shoulder. I turned the vehicle on and off several times, but couldn-??t get the lights to go off. The car was towed to the dealership. This is not the first incident with this vehicle, prior incidents related to electrical issues with heated seats, faulty electrical equipment in the screens, and a rain leak through the microphone in the roof. The vehicle is unsafe to drive. I have children, and I now fear for their safety in this car.

Freezing center console screen and navigation, sometimes the center front console screen just goes black while driving, the phone won't stay synced, seat memory fails, the seat heaters do not stay on, and when you press the heater button to try and turn them back on nothing happens / the buttons do not function. The ENTIRE vehicle including the steering wheel starts shaking/vibrating around 48 mph and the shaking/vibrating violently increases as you accelerate. I have replaced all 4 tires with the exact same tires the vehicle is sold with and the shaking/vibrating was not fixed. The dealership had me come in to rebalance all 4 new tires and that did not fix the problem either. The multipoint inspection shows nothing is wrong. There are no warning lights on the dash or otherwise. I have researched the shaking issue and a lot of Wagoneer owners are all complaining about the same issue with no resolution. My Wagoneer started the shaking issue around 25k odometer miles, before then it drove BEAUTIFULLY and most complaints say it started anywhere between 100 and 3,000 odometer miles, so I count myself slightly luckier than most that mine didn't start having this issue until 25k. However, this is an 85k SUV and these issues are unacceptable let alone the fact that there are hundreds of posts from people everywhere complaining about the same issues and no one has the solution even after bringing Stellantis in on their complaints. I fear something very bad is going to come of this particular issue being ignored. My Wagoneer literally feels like my tires are going to explode off while driving 70-75 on the highway.
Driving down the road no cars close in front of or behind me. All sensors on Jeep were clean and not obstructed. Radio started making weird noises and the emergency brakes completely locked up. Vehicle behind me was a truck pulling a trailer and nearly crashed into my car. I had to turn the car on off a couple times before I could move again.
The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH and accelerating on a highway ramp, the "brake and park " warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle slowed to a stop on the ramp. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle operated normally. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but persistent. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where the failure was not duplicated, and no codes were retrieved. The contact stated that the dealer replaced the battery however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.
I was driving on the freeway at 70 mph when the dashboard went blank. The engine completely shut off so I steered to the side of the freeway and was able to stop the car. It won-??t start, won-??t lock, won-??t do anything now. Had to get towed to the dealership.
I started my 2022 series ll Wagoneer in my driveway and began driving away. I realized I forgot something and had to run back into my house. My [XXX] mother in law was I. The passenger seat and remained there while I ran in the house. I opened my drivers side door, left the Jeep running and left the door open while I ran inside. I was inside maybe 30 seconds and when I walked out the door my Jeep was driving by itself up my driveway with the door wide open and my mother in law seat buckled in the passenger side screaming. The Jeep drove until it landed on its side in a large ditch with the other side up in the air. When I ran to the Jeep the gear shift knob was in park. I got my mother in law out by her crawling across the middle and the driver seat. I have this all on video from home security cameras. I had the Jeep pulled out by tow truck and I drove it to the dealership. They had it for over a week the first time for this and they said during the time they had it, it would intermittently work as it should, then not work the next time but had no answers or resolution bc there were no codes that came up. So it was sent back to me with no resolution. It still does not work as should when tested. Also now it will at any given time totally shut off while sitting at a red light and give no warning other than when I go to accelerate when the light turns green, it will roll backwards and the gear shift says park but the dash says D1. This has happened several times now and I have to hurry and restart the vehicle with cars honking behind me and almost causing accidents. These are the two major issues amongst many smaller but significant issues INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The electrical system, transmission system, and electronic parking brake system were all actioned without command. At approximately 9:31AM, December 26th, 2023, the vehicle immediately shut down without warning. The vehicle was driving at a speed of 25-30 MPH. The gears automatically shifted down and the power steering was immediately disabled as a shutdown sequence began. The vehicle drifted left into oncoming traffic (due to the loss of power steering? and the curvature of the road ahead). Fortunately, there was a parking lot available to the left and the oncoming vehicles stopped due to the lane incursion. With difficulty, the driver steered the vehicle left towards the parking lot. Suddenly, the electronic parking brake engaged automatically. The driver did not engage the e-brake, it was activated on its own. The driver was trying to steer the vehicle without power steering and avoid oncoming traffic. The vehicle came to an abrupt halt once the e-brake was auto-engaged, and the vehicle shifted itself into -??Park-??. The vehicle had electrical power supplied from the battery, but the engine was completely shut off. At this time, the driver noticed a message that prompted to -??Open Hood-??. The only other indication that something went wrong was a -??Check Engine-?? light. The driver opened the hood and found nothing out of place, damaged, or leaking. At this time, the driver attempted to contact towing services, but was not having any success. The driver re-started the vehicle using the -??Transmission Limp Home Mode-??. The -??Check Engine-?? light was still on. The vehicle needed to be moved from its obstructive positioning in the parking lot. The driver decided to drive the vehicle back home, less than one mile away. The vehicle was repositioned safely, without further incident. The -??Check Engine-?? light was the only remaining indication of the incident. This safety incident was a potentially fatal accident. A random, complete loss of power and control is unacceptable.
Driving down the highway and another car turned into my lane. I turned/swerved to the left to avoid collision and all side and curtain airbags deployed in the vehicle. I did not crash into anything. There was zero damage to the exterior of my vehicle. The manufacturer (Stellantis) claims there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, and that it detected the vehicle was going to roll over, and that is why the airbags deployed. The vehicle was not going to roll over, the airbags deploying was the most dangerous thing that occurred. I was not able to see to either side, but was able to pull over to the median and come to a stop. The vehicle was inspected by the manufacturer hired engineer. The manufacturer would not give me any information or a copy of his report/inspection. There were no warnings before this happened. I had my 9mth old baby in the back seat. With no vision out the side, we were both put at risk, as well as any others on the highway. The scare of airbags deploying when no collision occurred was very intense.
First, I lost my radio, then my GPS, then my air conditioner, then I lost everything - no power steering, no engine. This was in heavy, high speed traffic on the interstate. I did manage to get the vehicle off the road. Towed to a dealership, 6 hours from my home. This happened on August 7, 2023. On my return home, on August 16, 5 hours into my trip, the Active Lane Management quit. The switch, and light say it is on (or off), but it is not working. During the 9 days without the vehicle, I was in continuing contact with Corporate Customer Service. Their decision is that I have no case for this being a continuing safety issue. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. WHAT IS GOING TO QUIT NEXT" WILL I BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE NEXT TIME"
The 2022 Wagoneer (first model of vehicle) we own has had SEVERAL issues dating back to purchase in 04/2022. The original battery died in 08/2022 when the car had ~3000 miles. The electrical system was to blame in draining the battery dealer said. dashboard lit up and shut on and off. The dealership -??repaired-?? with new battery. Other various issues with seats and electrical malfunctions have taken place both before/after that. But last night, about 20-30 minutes into a drive, the check engine and battery lights came on. A couple mins later, the AC and volume didn-??t work and then the dash lit up with over 10 buttons. At this point, I was attempting to pull over, but I was on a busy road with no where to go. A couple minutes later, the dash starting flashing on and off. At this point, the steering wheel locked up, the brakes no longer worked and the whole car dash and video screen was dark. I was going 65mph at the time with by 12 year old son and 10 year old daughter. I could not move the wheel and had no brakes as we were entering bend in road and semi truck coming at us. I had to make a decision to either run car off road into a field or house or try to jerk wheel. It took all my strength to turn wheel and avoid the semi truck. We escaped a major wreck or death by a matter of inches. Worrisome and scary to say the least. Fortunately after that turn, the road straightened out and I drove until car ran out of speed. Once it stopped (thankfully there were no people or stopped cars or traffic lights when we didn-??t have brakes or steering), the car went into park. Flashers didn-??t work. This is a reoccurring problem on my car and we have friends who also had a 2022 Wagoneer and the exact same thing happened to them and they avoided disaster too. There is obviously a problem and I cannot drive that car ever again and cannot put my kids back in that car. Also, it took 4 hours for a tow truck to arrive as Jeep didn-??t seem to help much. We narrowly escaped death.
Purchased in Jan 2023 within a day we had to bring it back, hood latch open error, unconnect box error, lane assistance wouldn-??t work. It went every week to the dealership for 2 and a half months; sensors have been replaced, electrical harness has been replaced, display has been replaced and the display still will just shut down and restart; the vehicle will just shut down and engage emergency brake when it was parked and has jumped the vehicle with this. Was then told we need a new co-ax cable we-??ve been waiting on since April and the dealership won-??t call us back. The air ride suspension is disabled now saying it won-??t work due to payload but nothing is hooked to the vehicle. We-??ve tried to shut the vehicle down and restart it and it won-??t come out of it; the heated seats will randomly come on when it-??s almost 90 degrees out and we-??re getting the auto park engaged even though the car is already in park and we-??ve shut it off, we have to restart the car change gears put it back in park and shut it off to get rid of the message
The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer.

The display in the dashboard loses power leaving the driver unable to control navigation, climate, audio, Bluetooth and all other components controlled via the in dash display. Basically all of the car-??s electrical functions are controlled via the display, so this is a problem. Also, the driver seat will completely recline itself and move all the way backwards after the vehicle is turned off. This causes the rear passenger to not have leg room when entering the vehicle. This electrical problem has happened at least 8 times in my vehicle.
The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated while driving at various speeds on several occasions, the Lane Departure sensor failed to alert the contact that it was safe to merge. The contact stated that the sensor instead directed the vehicle to enter the next lane. As a result of the failure, the contact was concerned that the sensor error might cause a crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that an unknown sensor had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred.

None of the issues with this vehicle have ever been addressed by the manufacturer. We have had a STAR case opened and shut with no resolution. The infotainment system glitches, completely goes black, radio doesn't work and the back-up camera will fail on occasion. The blind spot warning is inconsistent and is therefore never relied on while driving. The heated seats have a Technical service bulletin for Jeep service departments. The heated seats shut off after 5 min. The rear brakes have locked up while applying pressure to stop almost causing an accident. Jeep client services and the dealer service department have done multiple updates both in shop and over the air without fixing any of the issues. They have refused to address even the safety concerns. Approximate incidents unknown as this is a daily issue with this vehicle. All service appointment dates can be provided.
