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 pa
2022 Jeep Wagoneer complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2022 record →
See attached document for complaint
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 took my daughter to the Dr in corpus which is an hour away. When returning home we were on our way to pick up our prescriptions when my car completely died on us 4 times. Check engine was on. I took it yo our dealership to get it he led out driving on the backroads. They had it for a few weeks, cleared the check engine light but could not indicate the issue. Why clear the light if something was wrong? They shipped it to another dealership which they couldn’t indicate the issue either. My point is if I’m driving on the highway or on a crowded road what’s going yo happen? I have no signal or hazard lights then this happens. Why would I want this car back. Plus we have seat belt recall??? Like okay you want me to jeopardize myself and my family. Just buy the vehicle back. I had issues on my gas and break popping for months was in the shop 5/6 times same issue. Sounds like a lemon law should take place
Extremely unsafe issue, the door handles inside of the vehicle is not working for the last 3 months we have been unable to open the rear passenger door from the inside. In the event of an accident or fire the person or persons in the back would be trapped inside. Stellantis (Jeep) has been aware of this issue on various Wagoneer models yet didnt provide loaner for transportation in the meantime and instead has been negligent in reaching out for a fix.
Vehicle has alignment issues and ruining tires in 2000 miles. Problem started at around 25,000 miles and now at 32,000 miles. and has been at the dealer for over 2 months waiting on wagoneer engineering to figure it out. 2 dealers and Wagoneer blame the issue on the tires and not addressing the issue and saying alignment is fine yet the print out shows red indicating out of alignment, independent has confirmed there is a problem with the alignment. Vehicle has also developed a shake/vibration while driving and is making it hard to drive causing fatigue. I replaced the tires at a dealer and after 2000 miles they are ruined and they are not standing behind the warranty they stated.
When the master lighting switch is set to the auto position, the high beam headlights will not activate unless the master lighting switch is first changed to the ‘on’ position. This is the same as the recall for the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L which was issued in approximately October 2021. I figured this out when I was searching the internet for why my high beam lights were not working. It should be noted that I just recently purchased this vehicle and am the second owner.
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 hav
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
Seat folds down and ven when someone is in the seat. My son gets crushed constantly by the seat because of the the button. They’re has to be a way that seats don’t fold when someone is sitting in second row. It’s happened several times since we got it.
The drivers side seat does not retain memory and will randomly start moving while driving down the road. My car has been in repair for over 9 weeks during 5-6 separate visits. No fix in place other than a software update that doesn’t have a ETA. The dealership isn’t working the moving while driving because they can’t replicate the issue.
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 c
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 contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, she found that the pre-programmed driver seating position had been inadvertently reprogrammed, defaulting to the factory settings. Occasionally, the seat positioning would be reprogrammed erratically, preventing entry into the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who performed a software update, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who then replaced the seat control module, but the failure recurred and had become a regular failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 4.

I have a Series 1 Jeep Wagoneer with Dual Moon Roof… and my 3rd Row Moonroof also shattered but I had no idea until I took it to a carwash on my way to get it serviced and my moonroof ended up on top of my roof! thank god my Daughters weren’t with me at the time! I reviewed the video from the carwash and it was shattered prior to entering the wash I called corporate office they said they I have to take the vehicle into the shop so they can take pictures then submit to someone else for them to review them decide wether it is covered by Warranty? I still have Bumper to Bumper Warranty and I also added the extended Bumper to Bumper Warranty! This happened on 7/11/23 @ 9am on my way the get it serviced… they called me that I had to go pick up my vehicle because the parts for the reason being serviced are on back order until 1-2 maybe 3 wks. Knowing that my Vehicle has a Broken moonroof Manager from Serviced dept stated that it is safe to drive, and did Not offer any assistance whatsoever as in advising me that this is an ongoing problem with the Jeep Wagoneer.
Engine shut down while on the interstate at 70 mph.
I hit a deer head on then a tree directly after head on at around 35mph and the air bags did not deploy
When opening any door to the vehicle, the interior lights will stay on for 90 seconds and then go off. And will only come back on if the key fob unlock button is pressed, or if you climb into the vehicle and initiate the lights "on" button overhead. I've had the vehicle to 2 different Wagoneer certified dealers and they both have confirmed the behavior of the vehicle. We've been in pursuit with Jeep for a fix for a year, and it has not been fixed. It is a safety issue because when the interior lights go out, and I'm loading items or children into my vehicle with the doors open at night, oncoming and surrounding traffic cannot see me, as my car is completely dark. This leaves myself, my children and vehicle extremely vulnerable, not to mention it's extremely difficult to navigate what you're doing in the vehicle when the lights are off. 90 seconds is too short of a time window for the lights to stay illuminated. Link to video of issue: https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/bdGh765sRb6p5JoHnByQJQ.WoHJ9XhtPPFBa2D0sUqO3L
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 an undisclosed speed, the driver's side seat unexpectedly adjusted, causing the contact to be moved up near to the steering wheel. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while his wife was driving. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the electronic seat module software needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
On four (4) separate occasions between December 2022 and April 2023 this vehicle lost all power and the engine shut off while the vehicle was in motion and being driven. The vehicle was being operated under normal conditions. Three occasions were while traveling on the Interstate, and the other time was on a city street. During these incidents, all electronic displays would shut off, the engine would turn off, and power steering stopped working. The vehicle would need to be coasted to a complete stop before the engine could be restarted and driven again. This was a safety risk to occupants in the vehicle as the vehicle could not be controlled, and a risk to other motorists on the road as lights were no longer working and the vehicle could not be steered to avoid a collision. This vehicle has been to a dealer's service center and the cause has not been determined. This safety issue has not been fixed. The manufacturer is aware of these incidents and has not provided a solution, diagnosis, or repair. Two warning lights turned on immediately before the vehicle's power turned off: Electric Power Steering Fault Warning Light and Electronic Throttle Control Warning Light.
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. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to another dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to a different dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 17,287.
While driving, around 30 MPH the steering wheel locked up and all the driver safety items such as traction control, breaking lane assist, power steering simultaneously disengaged on the car. I almost hit another car also turning head on.
We have had our 2022 Wagoneer for 5 months. I noticed that the right rear axle had the boot torn and there was grease all over the bottom of the car on the right rear side. We also felt vibrations coming from the right rear. We took the car in to get the axle replaced, however we are still feeling these vibrations. After looking through Internet forums based on consumer experiences of our vehicle, it is a common issue that is being ignored by the manufacturer. One consumer, had the unpleasant experience of having the axle come off the vehicle while driving and almost flipping. I have since taken the vehicle back to the dealership but they claim that they don’t feel any vibrations, which I know they are lying because the vibrations are very prominent. I wanted to know what we could possibly do about our situation, considering that there are thousands of vehicles experiencing the same symptoms.
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.
My Air bag Failure light is on and continuously dings and tries to call emergency services over and over every few seconds while I am driving. This is a distraction to my driving and the only way to shut it off is to select the OK button on the infotainment screen. My active lane management has not worked since the dealership last updated my vehicle back on January 5th and Wagoneer is aware of this issue. This is a known issue from an update with Wagoneer. I have several electrical issues that have been reported to the dealer and Wagoneer including my emergency braking not working as well as my Active Cruise control.
Driving normally and instantly, many alert lights came on. Brake booster failed and difficult to stop vehicle. Vehicle engine power decreased. Radio screen shuts down frequently which is less an issue of safety but reflects instability of entire electrical system which seems to cause errors in critical systems such as braking and other safety equipment. Concerns regarding critical malfunctions seem to be mounting in the Wagoneer and will likely result in injury at some point if not already.
In October 2022 our Wagoneer was taken to the dealership due to the radio display turning off and on, the passenger screen not functioning properly or connecting through the HDMI. We were told the issue was resolved after replacing parts in the dash. About a month later the radio screen again turned off while driving. In February 2023, while driving the Wagoneer in the fast lane on the interstate, the power steering went out, the brakes would not work and the vehicle proceeded to shut down. The dash repeatedly displayed different instructions, "press brake and push button to start," "vehicle not in park," "shift P to start," "stop/start restart required," "shift to P then desired gear," and the red battery symbol appeared on the dash. After making it safely to the shoulder, the vehicle did restart. We were blessed not to have been involved in a collision, as we were initially surrounded by commercial vehicles. Luckily, it appears the commercial truck drivers noticed something was wrong and slowed their vehicles, allowing us to move from the fast lane to the right shoulder before our vehicle came to a complete stop. A short time later, we were able to start the vehicle. 30-45 minutes later while driving, the dash and radio screen turned off. After stopping in a parking lot and turning the vehicle off for a bit, we started the vehicle. When placing the vehicle in drive, it moved forward a few feet and the parking brake was somehow engaged on its own. Our vehicle was taken to a
The entire computer system stops working. Unable to turn down radio, control climate, turn off heated seats or steering wheel, unable to open turn or fold down seats. Passengers have been stuck in car and need to climb over seats to exit. Radio stuck on high is very distracting while driving. Seats stuck on high heat are also very distracting.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
Service Shifter Stop Safely Shut Off Engine to Engage Park Brand new Wagoneer and this error message has popped up multiple times. Have to turn vehicle off and let it sit for a few minutes before turning back on. Sometime message goes away, sometimes it doesn’t.

Driving approximately 30 miles/hour (estimated) the car started the process of shutting down and then shut down - while moving. The lights flickered on the dash board but don't recall exactly what the indicators were. We were able to pull over to the side of the road, although not entirely off of the road. It was 11:00 PM. This is a safety issue because my family was in the car while it was moving and shut down while moving. We bought the car approximately 10 days prior to this happening and it had 17 miles on it when we bought it brand new.
The button that folds the second row seat is located right on top of the seat and easily accessible to my child, especially when sitting in a car seat (sitting higher). We had multiple incidents where my child pressed it while I was driving and came flying forward with tremendous force and hurting himself by the front seat. It’s an extremely easy button to press for any child and the seat folds with strong force. I had to put tape on the button so my kids shouldn’t be able to press it.
After Performing an Auto start, I unlocked doors with keyfob and placed a child in my vehicle. when I shut the door, the vehicle locked the doors with child inside and I was unable to unlock the doors with the Keyfob for approx 5 mins. I eventually was able to get the rear hatch to open using the keyfob and was able to get my child out of the vehicle. The temperature outside was over 100 degrees. Had the vehicle not unlocked and the auto start feature turned the vehicle off the livelihood of my children being trapped in the vehcile in that heat could have been fatal. There were no alarms, nor warning lamps or messages present after i was able to get in and finally turn the vehicle on by pressing the brake and pushing the ignition button. At this time, the dealer states it is an unknown cause, with no diagnostics shown for what happened. They have not been able to reproduce the situation. vehicle has been inspected by the Dealership Service dept.
At two thousand miles the power steering went dead. Limped it home as I was told it would be difficult to drive but not unmanageable. Once I drove 35 miles home the dealership said bring it in and we can get you a loaner. On driving to the dealership the power steering turned on for half a second. Luckily wasn’t applying a ton of force to turn the wheel and it just made me swerve half way in the ditch. Had I been going fast we would of been upside down in the ditch or worse.
Vehicle had one warning light about tire pressure. Tire pressure tested fine. Began to drive. 30 minutes later every light on the dash lit up and vehicle stopped in an intersection and almost caused multiple accidents. Vehicle was finally towed by police and after a month in the shop they said it was a dead battery. But it died while the vehicle was driving and alternator should have been charging it.
The power steering quit working and the service lane departure light came on. The 4 wheel drive will sometimes come on for no reason.
