On 10/27/25, the thermostat on my wagoneer exploded. It was supposedly repaired on 10/30/25. I read in the wagoneers forum that the thermostat is a common issue, but it could be the result of engine problems. On 2/4/26, I took my vehicle in for a routine oil change. I didn't drive the vehicle for a few days. On 2/7/26, I was driving and received an Error Message stating Max Engine Oil Level Exceed...
On two occasions now, the car will start and all other electronic screens will turn on and be normal, but the driver screen behind the steering wheel does not. We can put the car in drive and it operates normal but the screen only shows the display to "press brake and push button to start" the button icon and odometer mileage. Everything else is blank. We have no way of knowing the speed/rpm/fuel/...
Our 2023 Jeep Wagoneer overheats (indicates excessive oil temperature and low oil pressure) repeatedly (~20 times since we've owned the vehicle) under normal freeway driving causing a safety issue by creating the need to rapidly slow and exit the roadway to prevent vehicle engine failure. The issue occurs during sustained freeway driving around 60-65 mph. The car feels like it is not properly sh...
This complaint involves a 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L Series III, a full-size luxury SUV. The vehicle has experienced repeated electrical and powertrain failures culminating in complete loss of propulsion. On 01/22/2026, while traveling approximately 45–50 mph, the vehicle abruptly shut down without warning. The engine lost power, dashboard displays went black, and multiple warning lights illumina...
I wes driving and the over heat light came on in pulled over and had car towed to dealer. The dealer pulled the report and they said I needed a new engine and that I drove 40 miles in limp mode. There was no lights or indicators that there was an issue until the car overheated in that time it was only drove 3 miles. They cannot pinpoint when the light would ha e turned on and now I am stuck with a...
A recall has been issued due to the quarter window on the vehicle may have been built with trim that may detach from the vehicle and may become a road hazard. FCA US is not fixing this repair in a timely manner and has placed a "stop sale" on the vehicle. As a result, this vehicle remains a hazard and is severely reducing the value of the vehicle. This is all caused by FCA US's failure make a simp...
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V642000 (STRUCTURE); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not ex...
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.
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 ...
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that on several occasions, while driving at various speeds and continuing to accelerate, the RPM failed to respond as needed. Additionally, while slowing down the RPM failed to lower. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated, or the message to check the user manual for proper oil and fuel usage was displayed. The v...
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.
The Wagoneer with 20,000 miles very suddenly started to overheat, then quickly redlined on the dash board. Car shut down at dark night intersection. Needed to be towed to dealer. Dealer diagnosed that the ENGINE needs to be replaced. WTF. Waiting for Jeep Claims rep to contact me. Case # 94698805. No word on ETA of replacement engine. Expecting a long term rental car. NOT HAPPY I'm financing at $8...
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 au...
My 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L has a serious defect. While making a normal adjustment to the rearview mirror, the entire mirror assembly broke off the windshield and pulled pieces of the glass with it. There was no impact, no accident, and no excessive force—this happened during a routine adjustment while parked. The mount clearly failed, not the driver. This leaves the mirror unusable, damages the wind...
The vehicle was bought June 2023, starting September 2023 we have had continual electrical problems. The blind spot warning system constantly activates and takes over. The automatic braking system randomly activates for no reason. The car will go into full braking and stop. This will happen at all speeds to include highway speeds. Now I am getting check engine lights and the code changes every tim...
Display has constant screen glitching
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 alwa...
My sun visor falls down while I’m driving. It’s happened multiple times which can cause me to wreck or not see the road.
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.
Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced a serious and recurring safety issue: when towing, the trailer lights work for approximately five minutes before a portion of them blackout. This failure renders towing both unsafe and illegal, as it compromises visibility and compliance with traffic laws. To date, my vehicle has been into the dealership three separate times for the same issue: 1....
