Over the last month, twice this has happened. When I turn, either direction it feels like the back wheels lock up. Rub. Drag. Took it to the dealer, and they can't get it to replicate the issue. . Something is clearly wrong. Google states alot of 2022-2024 Wagoneer have documented similar issues. It does not consistently happen. But it happened twice since end of January. Matter of fact, since I had it serviced last.
The car vibrates when it drives over 65-70 mph. Passengers feel car sick. Many Wagoneer drivers experience the same problem, but there is no remedy.
2023 Jeep Wagoneer series iii 4x4 ~34,582 miles. Service dates: Aug 18–20, 2025. Work included a 4-wheel rotation on Aug 19. Vehicle is equipped with aftermarket fuel off road d679 rebel wheels that use spacers, sold with the pre-owned vehicle by a licensed dealer. What failed: after the rotation, the front-right wheel fasteners lost clamp load on drive from dealership. On inspection, four of six lug nuts were very loose/near removal and the wheel could be moved laterally by hand. Suspected contributors: (1) misalignment of polyurethane spacer during re-installation, leading technician to believe wheel fasteners were “torqued-to-spec,” and (2) interaction between spacer/wheel seating surfaces and the hub during movement. All components are available for inspection upon request. Video of the condition and photographs of the spacer are available; the dealer reports relevant in-shop cctv exists. Safety risk: loss of clamp load during vehicle operation created sufficient lateral wheel movement to be felt as wobble/thumping of steering wheel, with risk of wheel separation/loss of control. Reproduction/confirmation: the dealer confirmed the issue, and reported findings to customer. According to the service manager, the post-incident follow-up inspection (Aug 20) found the front-right spacer had shifted off-center during the tire rotation service, allowing the wheel to reach false-secure position and the fasteners to reach a proper torque without properly seating. This led to clamp-load loss as the spacer re-seated in subsequent vehicle operation, particularly as speeds increased. Inspections performed: the dealer inspected the vehicle on Aug 20 after towing back to the Jeep dealership. Customer has notified manufacturer of this incident and is awaiting response. Warnings/symptoms: no vehicle warnings. Around 1 mile into the drive from dealership, a slight wobble and then a repeating thump developed, that worsened by arrival at destination, prompting inspection.
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.
The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the third-row passenger’s side panel. 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. The contact inspected the vehicle again and stated that the panel and the window were not flush and were still able to place their fingers between the panel and the window. The dealer informed the contact that the work was completed and could not adjust the panel. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,200.
Vibrations in steering and seating despite multiple balancing attempts and new tires.
Severe outside tire wear on front tires and vibration at interstate speeds. Multiple cases on the forums which no one can get resolved. Unacceptable. Results in bald tires in as little as 10000 miles. See picture and links to forums. Stellantis should really recall or TSB this issue, especially on a high end vehicle. We need consumer protection from the government on these lemons. Three posts below, but there are many more threads if you look on the forum.

I purchased the car, July 2022. It was a used certified vehicle with 3289 miles on it. This is a commercial vehicle as I own my own business. I reported two days after purchasing it that the front passenger tire shakes. For two years now, I have been trying to get Wagoneer and my dealership to fix the issue. Last Thursday, I was instructed to replace all the tires and see what happens. I did so and the shaking is still occurring. I received an email from Wagoneer services this morning telling me there is nothing they can do about it. I have a call into an attorney. This car has been towed on a flatbed three times since purchasing has been in the shop 16 times sometimes over three months at one time. I do believe that I should have to pay for a vehicle that is so terrible especially being $105,000 vehicle. Wagoneer is impeding my business and my business revenue because I cannot drive this car safely. I have been paying $1500 payment for two years and have never had a car that worked 100% properly. They refused to reimburse me for any of my time down. My contract states that I am to have a Wagoneer as a rental while they are working on my car that is only happened to one time. They tried to give me itty-bitty cars to run my business out of.
