Electrical system

22 reports
“On four separate occasions on 10/13/26, the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneeer experienced sudden and complete vehicle systems shutdowns while being driven. Vehicle owner and two daughters were in the car. It was early morning (5:15am), and very dark. These incidents were not ordinary engine stalls. Suddenly and without warning the vehicle's engine shut down, all electrical power ceased, the dashboard, headlights, running lights and instrument displays went dark, and power-steering assistance was lost each time. Three of these four incidents occurred while the vehicle was traveling at approximately 15 mph, 30 mph, and 40 - 50 mph on surface streets. The worst and most dangerous incident occurred while owner was merging onto the freeway at approximately 55 mph. Because of the previous shutdowns, she had deliberately reduced speed and was traveling in the slow lane out of concern that the vehicle might fail again. Despite these precautions, the vehicle suddenly and completely shut down once more. In each of the four incidents, the owner was eventually able to restart the engine, but only after several attempts. The sudden and simultaneous loss of engine power, electrical…”

Engine

15 reports
“My 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer has not operated properly since I purchased it (January 2025). The most significant issues have involved engine, battery, and electrical failures, along with recurring problems related to the lighting, doors, trunk, and various cosmetic components. These issues have been repetitive. Each time the vehicle is brought to the dealer for service, repairs are often delayed for extended periods due to parts availability. Even after repairs are completed, many of the same problems recur. My experience with Jeep Corporate has also been frustrating, with slow response times and limited cooperation in resolving the underlying issues. Based on reports from other owners, these concerns do not appear to be isolated to my vehicle. I am currently awaiting a repurchase offer from Jeep Corporate. Given the repeated failures and unresolved safety concerns, I no longer have confidence in the vehicle’s reliability or in the ability to permanently correct what appear to be broader manufacturing-related issues.”

Steering

4 reports
“When sitting at the light my vehicle completely shut off. When I was able to restart the vehicle the power steering light came on. After driving for a few moments, the vehicle did the same thing and steering concerns continued. The vehicle was on two major roads with other vehicles around. This put myself, my son, and other drivers on the road in danger of being involved in an accident. The vehicle was taken to the dealership under the Florida Lemon Law. The aux and main battery were replaced. The representative from Stellantis denied our Lemon Law request of repurchase or replacement of this vehicle. By Jun 2026, under one year of ownership, the vehicle had already spent over 38 days at the dealership for service related issues: airbag issue, steering related failure issue, steering rack replacement, battery replacement, and now on July 9,2026 the vehicle attempted to shift into Park, the electronic parking brake engaged, and the vehicle became immobile while we were actively driving. This produced another safety concern for our family and other drivers on the road. The vehicle is currently with the dealership attempting to diagnosis this defect.”

Forward collision avoidance

4 reports1 crash
“On June 18, 2026, I was driving my 2024 Grand Wagoneer on a busy city road. As I approached a busy intersection, I stopped at the red light. When I attempted to move forward when the light turned green, it moved a few feet (putting us in the middle of the intersection), the vehicle seized and became immobile. Almost every light on the dashboard lit up. Several messages flashed back and forth on the screen including "Service transmission" and then "service electronic stability control". I immediately tried to use the SOS function, and when they answered, they were unable to hear me. A person in a truck behind me told me to put my vehicle in Neutral so that the vehicle could move out of the road as it was blocking traffic. When I tried to turn the gear dial, it turned, but the P light stayed on and the vehicle would not go into Neutral. I checked the parking brake and it was not on, nor would it engage. The vehicle being stalled, with zero ability to move put my children and I in danger as there was not a safe place to even exit the vehicle as traffic was completely surrounding us. I tried to turn off the vehicle, but the vehicle stayed in the "run" function even…”
