2023 Jeep Wagoneer problems

“Issues began on 9/29/26 - The transmission was slipping and failed to shift numerous times when accelerating causing a loss of power. This happened several times at highway speeds when passing. Warning lights came on after this issue occured. This issues happend several times over the course of about a month. These issues put my safety at risk multiple times when I was suddenly not able to accelerate to pass or in some instances not able to accelerate to enter the interstate. This issue also occured at a low speed in stop and go (interstate) traffic. The vehicle would not shift out of 1st gear and I was forced to drive on the interstate at a dangerously low speed until I could exit the interstate. Warning lights came on due to this issue. The Jeep dealership assessed the vehicle and determined that the transmission needed replaced. The transmission was replaced at a certifed Jeep Dealership. The vehicle was tested, deemed repaired, and returned to me. The next day the same issue occured where the transmission would slip, grind, and then lose power. That same day the vehicle lost power completely while driving. The engine shut off while I was driving. When I…”

“Vehicle will suddenly shut off in traffic. Will NOT start back up for 1-2 minutes. Control panel near gear selector will flash on and off message reading Hold brake and start button. Screen all black. This has happened 3 times this month. Car shut off in car wash, once started it would not shift from Park into Neutral or Drive for 60 seconds. When accelerating on expressway, vehicle will shake then message flashes on dashboard "Put in proper gas and oil". Happens weekly. Dealership of course cannot find any issues or replicate codes....very convenient. Bought new-2023 Jeep Wagoneer Series 2 Hurricane twin-turbo engine.”

“I recently had an oil change at the dealership I purchased the Wagoneer from. Three days after the oil change was completed, I was sitting at a stop light when the vehicle completely shut down, and the power steering went out. I started the vehicle back up and a power steering service notice popped up. That same day, the large central display screen kept flashing on and off, when it finally shut completely off. Six days later, I was driving home from work when I noticed the engine kept running up into the 6-7000 RPM's if I tried to drive over 40mph. I drove under 40mph the rest of the way home (about 10 minutes) and started noticing how loud the engine sounded and the temperature gauge was increasing. I was about 1 minute from home when my daughter and I could feel the heat coming from the engine inside the cab of the vehicle. It was so hot, I was concerned the vehicle was going to catch on fire. I parked it away from my home and called the dealership. They sent a tow truck and inspected it the next day. They stated the engine thermostat went out, and the auxiliary battery failed. There were never any warning lamps or messages displayed while this was…”

“Pulling from a stop sign across two lanes of traffic into a median, the car shut off and then started back. When it started back there were multiple warning lights. Pulled out onto highway and when coming to the next turn, there were no power brakes. Had to use extreme pressure to slow the vehicle down to a stop. Turned the car off and then back on and most lights went off.”

“About a week ago, I received a warning that my lane management assist required servicing. As of Tuesday (10/06), as I slowed to a. Stop sign, my car started beeping, put itself in park and turned off. It flashed a message that stated a restart was required. Then today, I was getting the same lane management warning and as I was stopped, my car did the same thing, threw me into park, put a bunch of different warning messages then said power steering requires service. I proceeded to drive home since I was about ten minutes away, shut my vehicle off for a few minutes and tried to restart it, the car would not restart. The vehicle had to then be towed to dealer for repair. Since purchasing the vehicle in 01/2024 I have had ongoing electrical issues and had to turn the vehicle in for service. But they have never found an underlying issue, they have just replaced batteries and cleared codes”

“Instrument panel dash frozen. instrument dash panel frozen at the screen where it says start/stop press brake to turn the vehicle on, we can’t see how fast we’re going when driving. This has occurred on multiple occasions. We’ve taken it to a Jeep dealership. Who reset the PCM but it does not resolve the issue.”
