While approaching a stop sign at a speed of less than 10mph with my wife and three small children in the car, the engine shut off and the steering/braking became degraded. I was able to restart the car after stopping, but the auto start / etorque does not appear to be working any more. I will be dropping the car off for diagnostics, but after some research this appears to be a common issue which is already under investigation.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal to stop at a stop light, the vehicle lost power and decelerated unintendedly. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. During the failure, the contact's teenage daughter was seated on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the battery was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but the contact was still waiting for a call back from the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.

On two separate occasions within 2 months of each other, the low battery/voltage warning appeared and shortly thereafter, every warning light in the dash came on and various messages appeared on screen stating that there were power/electrical issues. The car then shut down and died while in motion. Extremely dangerous as in the first instance, the vehicle was in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire (on a main road, Rt. 16), with no cell reception, cold weather, and at night, leaving us stranded. The second occasion happened on a busy highway with my wife and young daughter in the car. We were able to get off the highway when the warning lights came on; however, the car died in Downtown Boston, at night, in the winter (December). the first time this happened, the car was towed, a "software update" was done, and we were back on the road. then less than 2 months later, the same thing happened, and is this time diagnosed as the eTorque motor. There is an open NHTSA investigation for this exact issue. Investigation:PE24018

I took my vehicle to an authorized dealership for an active safety recall. The dealership documented the recall as INCOMPLETED and did not perform the required repair. No explantation, repair, or reasonable timeframe was provided. The vehicle remains unrepaired despite the recall being federally mandated and required to be completed at no cost. This situation puts vehicle occupants at potential safety risk due to an unresolved safety recall. I am reporting the dealership's failure to complete the recall as required by law.

Seats

We bought this vehicle in July. And noticed the middle seat stopped reclining forward and backward. It it stuck in the upright position. I looked online and saw a recall, (NHTSA 21V-919 / Recall Y86) concerning the second-row center 2nd row bench seat recliner pull strap, which could bind and prevent the seatback from locking upright, violating safety standards; dealers fix this by adjusting or replacing the strap mechanism. My VIN does not have this recall, but these describe the conditions of the seat, the make, model, and year of the vehicle as well.

After getting the vehicle restarted it the ebrake activated mid way through the intersection. This occurred after the dealer applied an update to fix the issue. This was worse than the first incident as the brake was applied after the vehicle started to move after getting it restarted.

I was driving through the parking lot at my daughter’s school, and the vehicle shut off entirely when going at slow speeds. The vehicle lost all power steering, and braking was more difficult. Stopped safely, and the vehicle wouldn’t restart. Dealership confirmed it was a failure of the 48v battery system.

On 2/11/2025 while at a stop light the vehicle stalled and I had to restart the vehicle when the light turned green. An hour later it happened again. At that point my husband and I took my Wagoneer to the dealership. They determined the vehicle needed a new battery. Then on 2/13/2025 I went to my vehicle in the garage and it had "bricked out". I could not start it at all. I had to have a tow truck bring the vehicle back to the dealership and they again replaced the battery. On 11/26/2025 again while at a stop light the vehicle stalled and I had to restart the vehicle when the light turned green. A little while later on the same day I was at a stop light and I felt the vehicle start to stall, but the light turned green so I stepped firmly on the gas and the vehicle hesitantly went forward. This issue is recurring despite the dealership's efforts to address it.

Hi, I need to bring my 2022 Wagoneer back in for service. I was just in the shop a few days ago for a persistent check engine light, and the issue has returned. The check engine light came back on four days after I picked up the vehicle. This morning the vehicle stalled twice at a complete stop. The front headlights flickered and the engine shut off, but the electronics inside stayed on. I had to press the Start button to restart the engine. I also received a “Start/Stop Unavailable” message. Because this is now a repeat failure, combined with a safety-related stall, I need the vehicle fully rechecked for: ESS/Start-Stop system malfunction Auxiliary battery condition Battery current sensor BMS/charging system PCM software updates Any TSBs related to stalling or ESS on the 2022 Wagoneer Please document this as a repeat repair attempt, and if needed, I would like this escalated to a Stellantis Case Manager since the issue is safety-related and occurred immediately after a previous repair. Please let me know the earliest available appointment. Thank you.

I was driving down the road at 35 MPH when the Service Electric Power Steering (EPS) Message On Instrument Cluster came on. Then when I stopped the brakes were hard to deploy. I tried to reset it by turning it off and on. I had just replaced the backup batter several months back so i don't think that is it. i called the Dealership and told them I talked to Stellantis and they gave me the star online publication case number S2523000053 Rev A. on how to fix it. They said it would be several days and i would need to have it towed on my own. This a systemic problem with these vehicles I have had to pay for a recall because they said it didn't to apply to a Canadian vehicle even though it was made in Detroit. I bought it with a few thousand miles on it and have had nothing but trouble with it and a dealership that always says I would have to pay since it was Canadian. Either the screen is going black or some kind of warning on the dash it seems like every other month.

On September 4th, 2025, my wife and I purchased a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer Series II bearing VIN number [XXX] being sold by Carvana. On September 23rd, 2025, the Jeep Wagoneer was delivered to our residence by Carvana. The Carvana employees unloaded the Jeep Wagoneer from their tow truck and then parked the Wagoneer in our driveway. After the Carvana employees departed with our Ford Explorer, my wife and I decided to take the Wagoneer for a drive. We loaded our three children into the vehicle and my wife drove, while I remained in the front passenger seat. We traveled approximately one block away from our residence when we came to a stop at a stop sign and the Wagoneer turned off its ignition on its own and put itself into park. We were on a slight incline and the vehicle began to roll backwards under no power, but due to the incline. To prevent this, my wife pressed the brake pedal and the vehicle ceased moving. The only way we were to get the ignition running again was to restart the vehicle by pressing the ignition push-button. The vehicle restarted and there were two error messages that appeared on the instrument cluster. The first message indicated that the start/stop system was unavailable. The second error message indicated that the hood was open. We left the stop sign, in an attempt to return to our residence, where the mechanical failure occurred and then came to a traffic signal that was red on U.S. Highway 11, in three lanes of traffic. We came to a stop and the same mec

I was stopped at a red light, stacked about 10 cars deep. Once the light turned green, I pressed the gas pedal, but the auto start-stop feature malfunctioned and turned the car completely off. I then pressed the button to reactivate the ignition, and pressed the gas pedal again. After moving forward a few car lengths (or more), the computer engaged the emergency brake and clamped down on the wheels. I was then rear-ended at about 15-20mph.

This vehicle is not equipped with an Auto High Beam feature. The result of this is that when the Headlights are in Auto Mode, the Manual control of the High Beams is disabled. Most people leave their headlights in Auto mode to ensure that they dont forget to turn them on or off, but then the high beams are inoperable. This can pose a significant safety concern when you consider that when someone is driving and needs the use of the high beams they have to take their eyes off the road to fumble around with the headlight dial so they can turn it to manual to enable the use of the high beams.

On 8/22/25 I was driving on the Interstate and attempted to set my cruise at 74 mph. After turning the cruise on and reaching the speed of 74 mph, I pressed the "set+" button. Almost immediately the car sped forward and within seconds I had reached the speed of 83 mph. I applied the brakes and looked down to see the cancelled cruise speed of 100 on my screen. I turned the cruise off and then back on. I was then able to successfully set the cruise at 74 mph. On 9/25/25 I was driving on the highway. I attempted to set my cruise at 56 mph. After turning on the cruise and reaching my desired speed, I pressed the "set+" button. Immediately the car sped forward and before I had a chance to react the car was going 65 mph. I applied the brakes and looked down to see the cancelled cruise speed of 100 on my screen. I turned the cruise off and back on. I pressed the "set+" button when I was going 56 mph and I immediately noticed that the cruise had set itself to 70 mph so I applied the brakes, turned the cruise off and back on. This time after pressing the "set+" button the cruise set itself at 60 mph. I applied the brakes, turned the cruise off and back on. On the 4th try, after pressing the "set+" button the cruise speed remained set at 56 mph.

While in the elementary school carline this morning, waiting to drop my kids off at school, my brakes completely failed unexpectedly, causing me to roll into the SUV in front of me. The line in the mornings is long and slow moving and I was stopped behind several other cars also waiting to drop their kids off — letting off the break and re-engaging the break to move forward as the line progressed. Halfway through the carline, I pushed on my break as the car in front of me had come to another complete stop, however, my break never engaged and my Wagoneer continued to roll forward without any warning or rationale. I continued to frantically push on my brakes trying to get my car to stop without them ever engaging and I rolled directly into the back of the SUV in front of me. I ultimately had to turn the gear to 'Park' to prevent the car from continuing to move forward. After sitting for a second and shifting it back into Drive, I did not experience another issue, however drove straight home and have not driven it again out of fear. My brake fluid was replaced less than 3 months ago and my pads and rotors are in great shape. There is zero reason this could have happened. I have an appointment with the mechanic (Corwin Jeep) tomorrow morning to look into the issue. Thankfully no damage was done to either car based on how slowly we were moving (1-2mph) but I cannot stress enough how catastrophic this could have been had a child been walking in front of my car, or had I been drivin

This morning at approximately 5:30 AM on my way to work on Highway 69 bridge in Tuscaloosa, Alabama my sunroof spontaneously exploded. No foreign objects hit my vehicle. At the time of the event, I thought my car had been shot or a tire exploded as it was very loud. I have spoken with the dealership and was informed that “they have never heard of any such thing”. I spoke with my insurance company, who informed me that spontaneously exploding sunroofs have been reported frequently lately. The dealership states that there is no recall, and my vehicle is out of warranty, so they are not held liable for any such event. Fortunately, I am able to file this on my insurance however, I feel that this is a manufacturer defect and should be covered by the manufacturer regardless of warranty as this is a safety risk.

While inspecting the vehicle, the contact was able to fit their fingers between the window and the panel. The contact stated that while turning the steering wheel to the right or the left, the front driver’s and passenger’s side wheels were vibrating and made a winding sound. The contact stated that while making a sharp turn, there was a loud clunking sound and vibration coming from the wheels. The contact stated that the message to clear the front camera was displayed, and that the Driver Assist feature was deactivated because the camera was not clean. The contact believed there was a glitch in the system because the camera seemed to be clean at the time of the warning. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V545000 (Structure); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the dealer replaced the panel and claimed that the panel was flush with the vehicle. After the vehicle was repaired, the whistling and rattling sound persisted.

On August 22nd, 2025 my family and I were traveling in my Wagoneer down [XXX] , through the Bighorn National Forest. A dash notification stated that the cars start / stop system may no longer work and needed to be serviced. 5-10 minutes later, a battery light came on the dashboard. we carefully drove out of the mountains into the nearest town: Buffalo, WY. We pulled into an auto store. the employee there informed us the alternator was bad. There are no alternators available in the United States for a 2022 Wagoneer. I have been informed by the Jeep dealer that current backorder date to obtain one is 168 days. My family was stuck on the side of the road for 5 hours before we could get a taxi to a rental car place. When exiting the Bighorn National Forest, there are 5 warning zones that state there are upcoming grades of 6-10% and mandatory brake checks at each of the five zones for trucks (cars optional). This power failure could have been catastrophic for my family. I have come to understand that Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge have been having problems with the etorque / alternator systems since 2021. Now my very expensive wagoneer is stuck in Wyoming. Undriveable. I cannot obtain the replacement part for over 5 months.

Visor post clips crack which causes the visor to drop creating a major safety issue. Based upon online research, this appears to be a very well-known problem for Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators over several model years (2018 to at least 2023 it seems). To repair a visor at the dealership is over $200, or $400+ when both fail (as mine and tens of thousands of others have). In researching this issue, a $10 aftermarket clip sold on Amazon will fix it.

My 2022 Wagoneer has been shutting off and locking up while on red lights/stops signs ever since purchasing, I was involved in a car accident at a red light and hit in the back of my truck due to it shutting completely off on me, it locked up and wouldn't turn on, this happened in 12/26/23. I have since taken it into the Dallas Dodge dealership twice with this concern, once about a yr ago and they said since it didn't shut of when they tested it they couldn't do anything. I took it again on 8/5/25 and they are saying the same thing that there's nothing they can do, they also said that Frisco Dodge has already fixed a recall for e torque electrical issues that cause 2022 Waggoners to shut off back in August 2022. It is my believe that the recall was never fixed correctly or there's something else really wrong and they need to fix it before I'm involved in another accident that's more serious next time.

The main head unit for the infotainment system, specifically the software. Upon failing a software update in August 2024, the vehicle started switching itself from English to Italian, from Standard to Metric units, the high beams would no longer function, the auto locking doors after 15mph would no longer work, the emergency pedestrian sensing braking was turned off, the entire infotainment screen randomly shuts off and comes back on as well. Without readily available high beams my ability to see further distances at night was diminished. 2)The uninitiated change in language and units of measure made it more difficult to verify vehicle speed and other important settings with intervention to return the system to English. 3) Largest concern, auto locks not turning on, without notifying the driver, left my young children at risk of opening the back doors and falling out of the vehicle at high speeds. The dealership has tried to fix this twice, they have updated the software to current version and reset the system. They also reset the customer programmable features, which corrected the issue with the high beams, but the other issues with software remain, including the auto locks at speed, language change, units change and screen shutting off and on. I have also contacted Jeep customer service, they do not have a remedy in place and verified the software is up to date.

For the third summer in a row, this vehicle has had a "hybrid/battery/engine" issue which has caused the vehicle to stop in the middle of traffic, specifically at start/stop intersections during high traffic times - the first time was on a vacation road trip about 600 miles away from home, the second time was in town while we had our three kids in the vehicle, and this most recent time thankfully I was alone driving home from work in rush hour. The vehicle shuts off, battery and check engine lights are illuminated and the vehicle must be stopped, restarted, and turned back on in order to move away from the middle of traffic. This is the third incident of this happening with Jeep warranty covering the first two repairs due to it being the hybrid/battery system. I am now waiting for two weeks before the dealer can even diagnoze the issue to undrstand what our next steps might be.

The first incident occurred when the passengers side sun visor bracket broke loose. This was not a major incident as it did not affect the driver. The second incident occurred when the drivers side sun visor bracket broke when my wife was driving. The visor fell in front of my wife and was dangling by the wires. It almost caused her to hit another vehicle as it was right in front of her and she was trying to move it out of the way. With both visors breaking, this appears to be a defect in the design that could cause a major crash if it broke at the wrong time.

We were driving and approaching a stop light at a major intersection when the vehicle stalled out. We heard it sputter at first and then cut off. We tried multiple times to restart, but to no avail—just kept sputtering. This is the second time this has happened.

Thankfully, both times, we were able to remain safe; however, this is a huge problem as both times we were on major roads.

Vehicle will randomly lose all throttle power when driving and at the same time following a warning beep will flash a large red lightning bolt with the following messages: service electronic throttle control,stop/start unavailable service stop/start system, service electronic stability control and check engine light. Engine continues to run but car will not move. Once vehicle is able to be pulled over to the side of the road and turned off then cranked back up the vehicle will drive normally. Check engine light will stay on for several key cycles then it will eventually go away. This has happened at intersections and at speed on the interstate. Repair of this issue with the vehicle has been attempted 4 times and is currently at the dealership now for the 5th time and the diagnosis is that they can replace the throttle module but there are not codes pointing to that as the issue and it was stated that is is just a guess and I can then drive it and hope that it is repaired. The vehicle has been to two different dealerships for the issue as the 4th occurrence was too far away from home to get it back and it was only 319 miles between failures. The issue has not been taken seriously by the dealerships nor the customer care agents that have been contacted through the last 3 occurrences.

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.

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.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
