2024 Jeep Wagoneer L problems

“The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer L. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds, the vehicle shut off with the "Auto Engage" message displayed. The failure persisted with the "Check Engine" warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the auxiliary battery was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and remained with the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.”

“Component Affected: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM / ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING / FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM The vehicle exhibits a severe, life-threatening defect involving the dual-battery and starter relay architecture (related to manufacturer code P2AF6 / Starter Relay 3 Stuck Off). On three separate occasions, the vehicle’s Auto Start-Stop system engaged normally upon braking, but completely failed to restart the engine when the brake pedal was released. Instead of restarting, the vehicle experienced a total software lockup where it "forgot" it was turned on. During these episodes, the vehicle entered an unmanageable failure state: the transmission locked in Park, the electronic emergency parking brake autonomously engaged and refused to disengage, and the vehicle rejected all power cycles. Because the transmission was frozen in Park and the electronic brakes were locked, the vehicle could not be pushed out of the roadway. It became an immobile hazard in the middle of live traffic. Following these events, a Check Engine Light illuminated, and the vehicle now exhibits violent engine jumping, severe RPM drops at a standstill while in Drive, and active engine stalling. Twice,…”

“My 2024 Jeep Wagoneer L experienced automatic stop/start restart failures during summer 2026 travel. During one incident, we were stopped in traffic while exiting the [XXX]. The engine shut off during the automatic stop/start cycle but did not restart as expected. We had difficulty restarting it, leaving us unable to move in traffic until it eventually restarted. I was concerned about being struck or stranded in a congested tunnel exit area. Two batteries were replaced during the trip, one during service in [XXX] and another following the [XXX] incident. Mopar records list service at Jones Chrysler Jeep Dodge on XXX, at 22,409 miles, including a battery-related entry, and Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Englewood Cliffs on XXX, at 22,814 miles, including electrical-system service. These are service dates; the exact incident dates may differ. I do not yet have the detailed repair orders identifying which battery was replaced at each visit or the diagnostic findings. The dealership subsequently advised us to disable automatic stop/start. We have done so and have not experienced another shutdown with it disabled. However, the vehicle continues to jerk or buck…”

“Suspension geometry is wrong causing rapid tire wear and heat. Dealership says it’s normal wear for this car with air ride suspension and engine power. I’ve had the alignment checked multiple times and told it is correct. This is causing excessive wear of the tires and causes a bad vibration like a tire belt is broken. I have researched the internet and found that there has been several complaints of this issue with Wagoneers with air ride suspension. I purchased this car brand new and this wasn’t disclosed that this vehicle will need new tires every 20,000 miles. I believe this to be a safety issue with the high wear and extreme heat is setting up a tire failure or explosion and or separation of tire while driving and could cause a wreak and possible death depending on the accident.”
