Electrical System Problems of Jeep Wagoneer - part 2

My air conditioning first went out in 2024 in 105 degree weather with a 3 month old baby, the dealer found the issue and fixed it. Then it went out again recently in the same type of weather and now since I am out of my warranty they are trying to charge me for the same issue, this is definitely a hazard to my health and the health of my children being that the weather can’t afford anyone with no ac. Plus they are refusing to see this as a manufacturer issue, when obviously it is. So I am complaining because this is definitely an electrical issue that could lead to other problems and the manufacturer needs to take responsibility and issue the recall because I am not the only consumer experiencing these issues. The faulty ac could lead to a fire or other serious issues that possibly cause injuries to me or my children.

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.

While making a left turn on a green left turn arrow the vehicle for no reason slammed on the brakes without any notice. Causing the car to come to a violent stop. And almost causing us to be rear ended. The violent stop caused both of us injuries to our backs and necks.

Repeated failures of electrical system of Wagoneer; vehicle towed to dealer who made some repairs, only for vehicle to fail again. Batteries fully replaced, issue got worse. Safety concern as vehicle will randomly not start even when traveling. Error messages with electrical shorts, failure of entertainment system.

Speedometer read zero while driving on the interstate and rpms felt as if they were off. New electrical cluster and new battery by Jeep have already been replaced claiming it would resolve this issue.

Rearview and 360-degree surround camera intermittently fails or displays a blank/no image when reverse is selected. Failure behavior matches NHTSA recalls 23v-577 and 24v-436 for the same model, but this VIN is excluded from the recall population. Issue affects rear visibility and compliance with fmvss 111. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Truck has multiple electrical issues like the auto emergency braking, braking on its own had to turn feature off and now the power steering system, the steering wheel got stiff and truck turn off multiple times. Power steering light comes on then goes away after sitting off for a while.

The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked in the garage for approximately 8 days, and upon returning to the vehicle, the contact noticed that the battery was fully drained. The contact was able to jumpstart the vehicle with assistance. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was confirmed that it was a common issue for the battery to become drained, needing to be charged after the vehicle was parked and unused for several days. The dealer advised the contact to have a jump starter handy. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

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 mechanical error occurred yet again with the Wagoneer turning itself off and shifting itself into park. My wife restarted the ignition and the same two error messages appeared on the instrument cluster. This time the “check engine” light came on. We also determine there to be heavy thumping in the brake pedal when pressing the brakes. During this first drive in the Wagoneer, my wife adjusted the rear-view mirror and the rear-view mirror fell right off the windshield.

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. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Vehicle speedometer has randomly blacked out on numerous occasions not allowing me to see any of my gauges. While driving on the interstate and merging the vehicle has stalled and rpms stay stagnant yet you can hear the engine revving & then it acts like it will catch up. While driving up hill the vehicle began to stall almost like it was towing something when it was not. Back up camera has failed to turn on (resolved its self after I restarted the car). When I take it into the dealer error codes never seem to pop for these issues even though it tells me to see dealer, and read manual for proper oil and fuel usage. It’s like it has a mind of its own and it worries me to continue driving my three children around when electrical issues randomly happen every month or so & it needs constant updating. Both batteries have been replaced due to these issues draining the life out of them.

The vehicle indicated to stop and pull over when attempting to start it in the garage, it was not moving. It made a terrible grinding noise. Towed to the dealer with a failed battery and need to replace the motor generator unit (mgu), part of its etorque mild-hybrid system. The part is on back order for more than 45 days as there are more than 282 failures reported. This is a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer that the dealership is saying is out of warranty and will charge me $4,000 to fix.

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.

When starting the vehicle, the instrument panel cluster freezes on the start screen, eliminating the ability to see fuel level, speed, engine temperature. This has been reported to the dealership and examined by them. Although this was reported months ago, there has been no communication from the dealership. The dealer indicated that I am not alone in having this issue. Thankfully, it has always reset to date, but it is not safe to drive when in this configuration. There are no warnings before it happens. There is no pattern as to when it happens.

This vehicle has presented a myriad of electrical problems as follows: 1. Glitching in the central display panel. Slow to turn on, flickers at times. 2. Alm (active lane management) system randomly and suddenly turning off. Often unable to turn the alm system back on while driving. The same issue with the adaptive cruise control system. 3. Vehicle sensors showing "unavailable" on the driver's display screen. 4. Vehicle was completely dead due to both batteries dying (main and auxillary) 5. Engine ran hot after a short period of time. Temperature reached as high as 253 degrees, then the engine overheating sign came on, followed by low oil pressure notification. Oil pressure dropped to at least 21 psi 6. There were no warning messages prior to any of these incidents occurring. 7. Auto emergency braking (aeb) would randomly engage for no apparent reason. 8. Alm unavailable service required message would randomly show up. 9. Front passenger screen would not come on, when the screen had seldomly been used. 10. The engine jumps every so often while driving. This is unrelated to the engine automatice stop feature when the vehicle is stopped. 11. A/c system is faulty. The "auto" button does not automatically adjuster the temperature or the fan speed when it is in use. I've had this issue since I purchased the vehicle. Reported to dealership more than once and it's still unresolved. 12. Driver's side window will remain stuck in the down position after window has been lowered. You have to turn the vehicle off and on for this to reset and window starts to operate again. Dealership cannot duplicate and this has happened more than once. 13. Stop/start not ready engine temperature too low message would randomly pop up at times. 14. When engine cranked, various dislay signs appeared on the driver's panel and would not allow me to use the brakes. 15. The vehicle has been in the shop since July 11th. No loaner vehicle was provided. Incidents cover various dates.

With only 4811 miles on our Jeep Wagoneer, it had total brake failure causing my wife to drive thru a stop sign avoiding pedestrians. I had it towed by Jeep roadside assistance to st. Clair Chrysler Jeep in st. Clair mi. On [xxx]. A week later on [xxx] I was told to come pick up the car and that it was repaired. The porter went to move the car and again total brake failure. The vehicle was again repaired and when I went to get it, I asked if the brakes were guaranteed to work and no one would say that they were. This car model has a lot of brake issues and I can't have my family drive in it anymore, I traded it in on another new car but lost $14. 000 in depreciation do to brakes. This is not my fault.

Without any warning my car will power off, then power on while I've been stopped at a light and getting ready to make a left turn. Incident has occurred on 3 separate occasions.

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. The first time was also reported to NHTSA, and I was driving alone and ascending a colorado mountain when it stalled out. Thankfully, both times, we were able to remain safe; however, this is a huge problem as both times we were on major roads.

While driving my 2023 Jeep Wagoneer on 12 Jun 2025 I stopped at an intersection preparing to make a right turn. When I took my foot off the brake and prepared to accelerate, the vehicle abruptly turned off and lost all power and control. The instrument cluster said to shift to park in order to restart. I was able to restart the vehicle and drove it immediately to the Jeep dealership service. The dealership immediately scanned it, but was unable to diagnose the issue. We drove the vehicle back to our home and are now afraid to drive it due to concern over the vehicle shutting down while driving.

The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that while approaching a stop with his foot on the brake pedal, the vehicle shut off once slowed down to 1-3 mph. As a result of the failure, the contact was forced to restart the vehicle, with the power steering and check engine warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the pcm (powertrain control module) was reset, and the software was updated. Despite the repair, the contact stated that the failure returned immediately while driving the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 150.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that several unknown lights on the instrument cluster were illuminated and flashing. Additionally, the headlights were flashing, and the camera screen was blank. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, additional force was needed to stop the vehicle. There was an abnormal horn sound detected. The contact stated that the engine overheated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was jump-started. The contact was locked out on several occasions. The contact stated that the third-row seat had folded her child up while parental controls were enabled. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the battery was replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, charbonneau car center (346 1st street west dickinson, nd 58601); who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Breaks, engine and transmission as well as radio and screen (electrical).

The vehicle is stalling. The vehicle has been to the dealership three times and they cannot figure out the issue. The vehicle has only been inspected by dealership. There was no warning lamps or message of this issue. The issues started two weeks after we purchased the vehicle.

Leaving for work this morning and reversed out of parking spot, tried to pull out onto a busy road and almost died. The car just kinda rolled forward a bit and would not accelerate or do anything! the ignition switch was blinking. I could not reverse or go forward or put it in park, the gear shifter lights were all blinking as well. I couldn’t shut the car off to restart it. I could not change gears or go anywhere but sit in the middle of an intersection with cars approaching me at a high rate of speed. It took approx 2 min for the car to do anything. It finally allowed me to shut it off and restart. Check engine light on. I reversed back into the parking lot I had exited from and drove it around to make sure I could accelerate onto this road where people do 70mph. I’m extremely lucky I did not get t-boned. I have read about this issue escalating to the car having this problem and told my dealership about this when I was having the check engine light issues mentioned below. I really do not feel safe in this car now after getting stuck in an intersection. Prior issue with Wagoneer, it’s been to the dealership at least 4x for this: bumps you back into park when you try to reverse and then the check engine light comes on. I have to shut the car off, open my door, restart, and then it’ll go into gear and check engine light remains on until I bring it in or sometimes after driving a bit it goes off itself. There was some known issue with possible problems with the transmission regulator valve so they switched that out and said that should take care of the issue. But check engine light on again. It now progressed into being completely disabled at an intersection today.

While driving at lows speeds approaching a stop light the vehicle will just shut off and shift into park. I have to hit the brakes, make sure its in park, and hit the start button, it restarts then doesn't do it until randomly later it does it again. There is a check engine light on.

We bought the vehicle new in 2022. There have been intermittent issues with emergency braking while going in reverse that we wrote off to sensor issues and never reported. Last weekend the electrical system went haywire. Lots of flashing lights, sounds under the dash, etc. Engine quit and would not start. Was able to get to the dealership after changing the battery. Battery warning light and check engine light never cleared. Dealership is saying it is the 48v battery issue so I wanted to report it.

The Wagoneer while driving twice has shut off, gone into park, and emergency break turned on. The problem is shutting off on its own while driving. This could cause a wreck obviously if happens at a higher rate of speed. Thankfully both times I was at about 5-10mph and nobody was behind me.

For the past five months, the vehicle has stalled nearly every other day, including while backing out of driveways or parking spaces and when slowing to stop. Each time, the engine suddenly shuts off without warning, the transmission automatically shifts into park, and the emergency brake engages. An engine warning light appears with a “battery fault” message. The repeated engine shutdowns and automatic braking create a serious safety risk, particularly when backing into traffic or stopping at intersections. In several instances, the vehicle would not restart for several minutes, leaving it disabled in the roadway. The vehicle has been taken twice to the authorized Jeep dealership in stonecrest, georgia, but the service department was unable to reproduce or correct the issue. The problem persists, and the “battery fault” light continues to appear intermittently. Component or system: engine and electrical system (battery and power management) availability for inspection: vehicle available upon request.

I have had nothing but issues with the electrical part of this Wagoneer. For months the blind spot alert system has flashed on for no reason. And then it sets an entire host of sensors off that beep continuously on and off while driving down the road. My car has been with the dealership for going on 4 weeks with no fix.
