2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer problems

“The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The contact stated that while driving in Reverse (R), the rearview camera was inoperable. Additionally, the odometer displayed kilometers instead of miles, the radio was inoperable, and the rear HVAC system was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where the contact was informed that a diagnostic fee was required because the VIN was not included in a recall for the rearview camera. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.”

“Travelling with my young daughter on the Freeway at Freeway speeds at 9pm (nighttime). The entire vehicle just shut down. EVERYTHING - completely dark. Steering went out. Brakes went out. I had to get the car to basically drift to a shoulder and slow down gradually in a spot where we would be safely out of the way of traffic. Again no brakes or steering and completely dead. Hazzard lights would not work. I had to get the car towed and get my daughter and all of our stuff out of the car on the freeway at night in the complete dark. Scary stuff. It's an expensive car and 2022 is the first model year of the Grand Wagoneer. I suspect based on my experience with this car that this model year will have these types of problems going forward. The car has had electrical issues from day 1 and its unsurprising this happened. What is surprising is just how dangerous the situation was when you were in it. It was a shocking experience.”

“Dear NHTSA, I am filing this complaint regarding a serious and ongoing turbocharger and engine problem in my 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Despite being one of Jeep’s flagship luxury vehicles, my SUV has experienced repeated engine warning lights, loss of power, and now complete turbo failure—all within 57,300 miles and under warranty. Soon after purchase (used, low mileage), the check engine light began appearing repeatedly. The dealership (Jeep Pearson, Broad Street, Richmond, VA) performed several repairs and software resets, but the problem always returned. Recently, I was informed that the turbocharger must be replaced—an alarming issue for such a premium vehicle. These failures have created safety risks including: Sudden loss of acceleration while driving on highways or merging. Hesitation or delayed throttle response, leading to unpredictable behavior in traffic. Concern about engine stalling or overheating from repeated malfunction. I have already escalated the issue to Jeep Brand (Stellantis) and requested the following: Vehicle replacement with a safe, defect-free model; Buyback and loan payoff to remove liability from a defective vehicle; or Two-year…”

“I am filing this complaint because my Grand Wagoneer has experienced repeated, serious safety-related failures involving the braking system, electrical/communication systems, and vehicle shutdown. I no longer believe this vehicle is safe to operate. The most serious problem has occurred more than once. On July 21, 2026, while driving, the brakes failed. The brake pedal went to the floor and the vehicle would not stop normally. Multiple warning lights/messages appeared. I ultimately had to shift the vehicle into Park to prevent a collision. The vehicle was taken to the Jeep dealership and remained there for an extended period while the problem was investigated. The dealership reported that it could not identify stored diagnostic codes explaining the brake failure. I was told that the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced before the matter could be escalated further. I authorized approximately $2,000 in brake-related repairs. After an extended stay at the dealership, I received the vehicle back on approximately September 1, 2026. Only approximately two days later, on September 3, 2026, another extremely serious failure occurred. While I was driving, the…”

“Airbags failed to deploy in a front crash. Passenger side curtain air bags deployed, but none of the others deployed. The lane departure or lane keeping assistance did not work. The vehicle slowly swerved off of the highway with no safety features kicking in to help keep it on the road. No automatic emergency braking started. The vehicle was still going with the cruise control on following the collision. As of 3/20/2025 the vehicle is still available for inspection. This is the first report of this malfunction. The local sheriff was contacted following the accident. I do not have knowledge of who all has inspected the vehicle. There were no warnings or messages that the safety systems were not working. Yes, our safety was at risk. As the driver of the vehicle, I have broken my C2 vertebrae in my neck.”

“The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The contact stated that the sun visor failed to stay in place and was flopping around while driving at various speeds. The sun visor was inoperable and was a distraction to the driver. The contact stated that while making a sharp left turn at 10 MPH, the contact's vision became obstructed by the sun and the vehicle crashed into another vehicle on the opposite side of traffic. The air bags failed to deploy upon impact. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, and the front-end damage was repaired. The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side third row headrests failed to remain upright and flopped backwards. The contact stated that the touch screen used to control the A/C temperature, located in both the front end and rear of the vehicle, glitched and change the temperature to an undesired level. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for repair of the screens under warranty; however, the dealer only repaired the front screen. The manufacturer was notified of the failures but offered no assistance.”
