| Seats problems |
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.
The second row easy entry keeps failing. The easy entry goes out and throws the seat forward. Person in seat has to force the seat down. Immediately after stopping and passenger getting out the seat is forced forward unable to latch until after shoving it back a few times. Warning on driver panel comes on to check second row seat. We have taking the car in twice and it continues to fail. Very unsatisfactory for a 85k vehicle. My children are afraid to sit in this seat due to it being unsafe and the seat belt being the only thing holding it down while in motion. Dealer said its a sensor that is going out. We are going on are third trip to the dealer. Would have been more but seams to reset itself every now and then. Forcing us to reschedule to maintenance visit.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
