2025 Jeep Wagoneer S electrical system problems

“I am reporting a serious recurring safety issue with my 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition, leased new in July 2025. Over approximately 15 months, I have experienced at least 5–6 incidents of severely reduced acceleration while stopped at traffic lights, intersections, or in heavy traffic. When attempting to move forward, the vehicle barely responds to the accelerator. Even with substantial pressure on the pedal, it moves only at an extremely slow crawl, making it impossible to accelerate normally or safely keep up with traffic. Every incident has been accompanied by the dashboard message "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon," usually along with turtle, red wrench, and lightning bolt warning symbols. I have sometimes managed to creep out of traffic to a safer location, where I shut off the vehicle and waited before restarting. On several occasions, multiple restart attempts were necessary before normal acceleration returned. These failures create a serious collision risk because motorists expect traffic to move when signals change. I fear being struck from behind or stranded in an intersection. The vehicle has undergone four dealership service visits. In…”

“The AEB sensor came on malfunctioned. The safety of others is if it doesn’t stop breaking could cause a collision. The vehicle has been in the shop since August 20 and still not fixed. The component has just been inspected or in the process of being inspected by a star technician so I was told from Selantis today. there’s been problems with the battery with the front sensor not functioning properly.”

“This vehicle has experienced the same or substantially similar serious safety-related malfunction on three separate occasions. The vehicle becomes unable to engage gear or move and also will not shut down normally. The first incident occurred in XXX in a parking garage in [XXX]. The vehicle powered on but would not engage gear or move and would not shut down. Operation was eventually restored following an electrical reset involving the 12-volt battery. The second incident occurred on XXX, while the vehicle was in my driveway. The vehicle again would not properly engage gear or move and would not shut down normally. An electrical/high-voltage system reset was required before the vehicle became operational again. The third and most serious incident occurred on XXX, at approximately 8:00 p.m. on a highway shoulder near the RFK Bridge in [XXX]. After stopping on the shoulder, I attempted to leave but the vehicle again would not engage gear or move and would not shut down normally. I was therefore stranded on the side of a highway. Police responded and remained behind my vehicle because of the hazardous location while I attempted to restore operation. The vehicle…”

“Since July 2025, this vehicle has suffered from severe, recurring electronic and software glitches that critically affect driveability and safe operation. While driving, multiple critical warnings display on the instrument cluster indicating that the airbags are inoperable. Following or during these warnings, the vehicle experiences sudden power/system disruptions, after which the windshield wipers activate automatically on their own, and the turn signals completely stop working. These compounding electrical faults pose a severe safety hazard. Despite manufacturer software recalls issued for instrument panel and electrical system failures (such as Stellantis/FCA Recall Campaign 39D / NHTSA ID 26V262), the software patches have failed to resolve these dangerous operational glitches, and the vehicle continues to malfunction unpredictably.”

“The vehicle is unsafe; it freezes while driving leaving one unable to navigate in any way. Everything ceases at once - nothing works, you can't put it into P/D/R/N, it won't accellerate or turn off. It just freezes, won't drive, won't turn off, completely locks up either while parked (the safer version) or while driving (completely unsafe, imagine being in a moving vehicle with no control at all?). Please don't ignore this - look at social media where hundreds, if not thousands of people are reporting the same exact event. It has happened to me alone 3x. Jeep claims they have no fix for it yet they aren't recalling the vehicle which is reckless. Please make them accountable and keep our highways safe!”

“When driving the vehicle the on board screen randomly shuts down and restarts while in motion. During this process it changes all of the driving settings and turns off the automatic braking, and the vehicle accelerates with out touching the accelerator. This has happened numerous times and it has been to the dealership 4 times with out any changes.”
