What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact stated that an authorized dealer confirmed the failure but only offered to repair the vehicle if the contact paid out of pocket. The failure mileage was 45,000.
38,000 Miles: Immediately following these updates, the vehicle began completely shutting down and stalling at stoplights and stop signs. Simultaneously, the Electric Power Steering (EPS) completely cut out, leaving me stranded in active traffic with heavy, unassisted steering.
Highway shaking, car stalling when in idle, vehicle wouldn't shutoff, steering wheel locked, vehicle wouldn't start, electrical issues: screen shutdown, error messages,
At least two events involved what appeared to be automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake while the vehicle was moving. Following these events, the vehicle required a PARK-and-RESTART cycle before normal operation resumed. The issue is intermittent and does not remain active after restarting.
I have a severe, recurring engine-stalling safety defect. The vehicle has been in the shop in Boerne texas several times. The engine completly dies, requiring a full manual key/button cycle to restart in/out of traffic.
The contact stated that while driving on a busy highway at an undisclosed speed with the contact's two minor children seated in the rear seat, the "Shift To Park" warning message was displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine stalled. In addition, the contact stated that the gear selector was stuck.
Immediately after taking delivery of this brand-new 2024 Jeep Wagoneer L, a severe and violent mechanical vibration was detected while driving at highway speeds. When the vehicle reaches 70 mph and above, the steering wheel shakes aggressively in the driver's hands, and the entire vehicle chassis vibrates violently.
I’ve had issues with the blind spot sensors. After driving a mile or two on open road, the warning pops up saying “Blind Spot sensors unavailable” then the lights on the mirror stay on. This was happening a few months ago so the right sensor was replaced. Now it’s happening again.
