general problems of the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer - part 2

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.

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!.

For the last six months (since Dec. 2024) my Jeep has randomly stalled out at traffic lights or won’t restart immediately after having just driven it. Sometimes when it stalls out while driving into a traffic light it will restart without a jump but then the check engine light is on for a few drives then eventually turns off. This happens once or twice a month and typically requires a jump to get the car started. I have had the battery, alternator and started checked multiple times. A Jeep dealership has reviewed and could find no issues with the car. The safety issue is being stalled out at a light or anywhere on the road randomly puts myself, my passengers and other drivers at risk.

In December 2024 I received a check engine light with a locked code that disappeared after a short distance. The vehicle would not auto start from the key and we thought it was a battery . In February 2025 while on a trip I received a warning light for power steering fluid we went to a parts store and topped up the power steering fluid . On [xxx] I was driving the vehicle at 55mph while I had my [xxx] and [xxx] in the car as well as heavily pregnant along with my [xxx] grandmother . I pulled away from a traffic light and the dash board lights lit up completely check engine, stability, abs, emergency brake ,traction ,crash detection . I went to use the brakes and to change lanes and while doing so I lost brakes and power steering causing me to have to use a grass verge to bring the vehicle to a stop as the brake pedal was to the floor and the emergency brake was not engaging even though the light was lit on the dash. Had I not pulled into grass to stop I would have been in a catastrophic accident. I took the vehicle to 2 Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealerships who could not fix the vehicle so took it to a 3rd dealership who were able to get brakes and power steering back into the vehicle . Upon trying to pick up the vehicle within 24 - 48 hours I received a check engine light for brake pressure sensor the dealership have opened 6 star cases with Jeep regarding this issue and just keep storing the code and returning the vehicle to me. When I take the vehicle to a auto zone or advance parts store with a check engine light the code is stored 4+ times with a red banner advising customer to not drive vehicle due to possible brake failure . I am 4 months into not having my vehicle and still have a check engine light for brake pressure sensor which has now been changed 4 times as well as the whole brake system. Jeep are not assisting with anything other than keep telling the dealership to change the pressure sensor and re bleed the brake system.

Over the air date on my vehicle. It has disabled the high beams, front collision won't turn on, am radio won't work.

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 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.

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.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the power steering and brakes had failed to operate as needed. The contact was able to coast to a stop. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle and had the vehicle towed to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.

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.

While driving the battery light ignited, the cars battery quickly started to decline was able to pull over when car entirely shut down after all dash lights cycled through. Replaced two bpm components and new batteries and still can not diagnose or find the problem.

Previously filed complaint #11586511, which was fixed after a 3 week wait on how to fix the problem. 11/4/2024 the problem has recurred. I think they did a factory reset the last time, because I had to reprogram all my settings and there were no parts shown being replaced on the repair sheet.

This is the second time this issue has happened. 1st time it happened about 1 year ago and Jeep replaced some parts in relation to the ecm and etorque system. The issue happened today once again. Our Jeep wagoner will just stall out our sputter in a manor to almost stall. Today it happened in the middle of an intersection while the wife was driving our 2 children home. Will have to take it in again, although it is now out of warranty by 4,000 miles. I am curious to hear what they have to say. Components have been replaced in the past regarding this issue by local Jeep dealer. The battery light came on and the check engine light came on. After a stop and restart only the check engine light is lit.

Vehicle was in motion the battery indicator and service engine light displayed. Additional warnings for other components (e. G. Lane assist, brakes, battery power saver etc. ) displayed, stopped at an intersection, applied acceleration and vehicle shut off, put itself into park, became disabled and would not restart. No power to restart or to power road hazard flashers. Complete shutdown of vehicle. Vehicle neutral override was finally discovered to get it moved to a safe location off the roadway and prior to having it towed to dealership for further investigation into cause.

Vehicle lost brakes for the second time while driving and also lost power steering. Vehicle was serviced at dealership after first incident and was supposedly fixed by replacing the battery. It was obviously not fixed since it happened again 12 days later. Both times the vehicle randomly, and with no warning, lost braking ability and power steering.

Concerns: electrical is slow to respond the screen. The turn knob is a huge safety concern. The turn know sometime doesn’t not click or stay in park. The vehicle will lunge. The knob is easy hot accidentally hit and move out of the gear causing the auto brake to jerk the car to a stop. The getting the brake release to get car back in gear is slow to unlock. Sometimes I have to turn the car completely off. Turn it back on then do the break release and start all over. The auto break has actually stopped in the middle of the road for no reason and I’m lucky. I just didn’t get hit from behind and I had nothing to do with the turn knob. The auto stop is very sensitive. I turn it off almost 100% of the time like when you’re at a stop sign because when it comes back on, it’ll jerk the car. I’m just very disappointed in the Wagoneer as a customer. I’ll look forward to the day that I can replace this car.

I was driving 35mph and my breaks and steering were not working. The car started to rattle and in order to stop the car I had to start pumping on the breaks as hard as I could and have it slow down but I had no steering control. I was luckily close to my house without turns so pulled over to my driveway by pumping the breaks and screaming for a neighbor to help me not hit other cars on the road. The week prior I had brought my car in for a recall for the electric side board that comes down when the doors are open to step into the car. It was a recall then they said I already had that looked at when I brought it in last year for recalls and so this time I would have to pay 1400 for the motor and I was told by the mechanic the electric issues would continue to arise now and to get rid of this car.

While driving the vehicle's braking system completely failed. During the failure multiple warning lamps came on to include abs, brake, and engine. The messaging system indicated brake service needed. The failure caused the entire braking system to "shut down" and a complete loss of braking ability. The brake system consistently went from no brakes to complete brake lock up. A later diagnostic via the obd system indicated a communication failure between ecu/computer systems. No other symptoms were present prior to the failure. The vehicle is currently being inspected by the dealership.

This has happened on my vehicle twice, the first time I was stopping at a stop sign and the car gave a message about putting car in park and restarting, it put itself into park before I saw the message and so when I went to accelerate it just revved the engine. I had to push the on/off button to restart vehicle and it went. Same thing happened again about a month later (last week) this time I was pulling into our school’s drive to drop off kids but before I got to the drop off area it dinged, giving a message to put car in park and restart since I was getting ready to stop I was going to wait but almost as soon as I looked back up from reading the screen it slammed into park and same thing I had to push my on/off button to restart and go again. I was actually moving this time so we came to an abrupt stop with my children in the car. The service department said they couldn’t replicate and to come get the vehicle, I feel this is a huge safety concern for our family. What if it does this at highway speeds, I think someone will be greatly injured from this. We have a ticket open with Jeep but so far nothing.

Driving on freeway and needed to come to urgent stop. The vehicle did come to a stop and no collision occurred. However, after stopping, the vehicle then would not move. The car was on and was unable to be turned off. Multiple error messages appeared and the gears were flashing. At risk due to being at a full stop on the freeway with traffic still moving at posted speeds, and unable to move vehicle. Police and courtesy vehicle arrived a short time later to prevent a rear end collision and stayed until a tow truck arrived and could tow vehicle to local dealership. Vehicle is at the dealership and has not yet been inspected to understand the issue. There were no previous lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the problem to indicate there may be an issue with the vehicle. A year ago, the vehicle had another issue where it engaged the parking brake on it's own. Was not in danger during this incident.

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. After reviewing Jeep Wagoneer forums, this is effecting many owners of the Wagoneer after that fall 2024 update, and all the dealerships are scratching their heads. But without autolocks at speed, this is a big issue. No warning lights came on to let me know, and the bug seems to be in all software versions for the Wagoneer from fall 2024 to current.

The truck is shutting off on it own while driving it has happen about 5 times already dealership cannot keep the issue and keep returning the vehicle to me. I feel unsafe for me and my family to be driving this vehicle. And Jeep services is no help. I have a case manager who keeps selling me. There's nothing they can do.

The first incident caused the vehicle to lose power and shut off while driving. All electrical services failed. Month long repair with body control module needing replacement. Current issue, once again electrical issue with locks not working and emergency braking system activation on its own with no reason. Battery keeps going dead, front right speed module replaced with problem persisting. No resolution in sight dealership waiting on stanantis for further information.

The car all of a sudden has started braking with no reason too. Also has started resetting the dashboard system randomly. Which will shut down the entire from screen console and restart.

While driving on [xxx] towards vail, CO—the Jeep Wagoneer suddenly stopped accelerating while going up the side of the mountain. Lights on the dashboard were lit up, including the braking light. I was in the right hand lane, so luckily there was a shoulder on the side of the road, albeit very shallow, that I got into and immediately called roadside assistance from the vehicle. Prior to this moment, I had been driving for a little over an hour with no issue or warning. The safety concern is high, especially since I was on [xxx] accelerating up a mountain with lots of traffic behind me. If I was in the left lane or if a semi truck was right behind me, I could have been hit/hurt/killed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

There have been multiple electric problems/warnings that the dealer has been unable to duplicate. The most alarming was when my accelerator quite responding normally on the highway and my ability to accelerate was drastically impaired. A few minutes prior to this, my adaptive cruise control failed and multiple error lights appeared on the dash. My husband believes the electrical problems stem from the hybrid motor. I have attached photos of a small percentage of my repair invoices. I also have phots and video of my instrument cluster when some of these issues occurred.

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.

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.

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.

On March 23, 2024, the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer series 3 turned off while at a stop light. We were at a red light and completely stopped and the engine turned off on us. We had the vehicle in for a routine oil change, and afterwards the vehicle battery died 3 times before the dealership replaced the battery. We are unsure if the dead battery is related to the engine turning off on the March 23 incident. I am unsure if there were any warning. We are also getting a error message that says "uconnect box requires service. Please visit an authorized dealer. " the dealership tries to tell us that the software is up to date. We have issues with our carplay always connecting to the vehicle when it should every single time.

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.

On multiple occasions the vehicle will either randomly stop, or shift gears from drive/reverse to park.

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.

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.

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.
