“I am writing to formally submit a dangerous and sudden electrical system failure on my 2024 Jeep Wagoneer. I purchased this vehicle brand new from Lee Jeep in Wilson, NC and it currently has only 38,000 miles—just 2,000 miles past the standard factory bumper-to-bumper warranty. This issue represents a severe safety hazard and appears to be a direct, consequential chain reaction resulting from a dealer-performed service and software flash completed just 1,000 miles ago. Chronology of Events: 37,000 Miles: The vehicle's thermostat failed. Lee Jeep replaced the thermostat and performed a required computer system software update. 38,000 Miles: Immediately following these updates, the vehicle began completely shutting down and stalling at stoplights and stop signs. Simultaneously, the Electric Power Steering (EPS) completely cut out, leaving me stranded in active traffic with heavy, unassisted steering. Current Status: The dealership diagnosed a blown main engine fuse and is demanding $450 to replace it. They have refused to cover this under a goodwill adjustment, claiming their local branch "cannot do it." A full vehicle shutdown and loss of power steering at…”

Electrical system

27 reports1 crash
“The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that upon coming to a stop, the engine Auto STOP/START system engaged; however, the engine failed to restart automatically and required to be manually restarted. The contact stated that the failure was a recurring failure. The power steering warning light was illuminated after the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the service personnel refused to provide the diagnostic information because the contact declined to pay for the diagnostic test. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was filed, and the contact was awaiting a callback from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.”

“2024 Wagoneer was shifting weird, throwing itself in parking mode. Shutting off and making you stop while driving to shift in desired gear. Throwing itself in park going down the highway and about had us in a head on collision. Motor has loss of lower and overheating. Multiple misfires on multiple cylinders on all 3 occasions when returned to the dealership. Unable to fix on multiple attempts. Car is still in dealership garage awaiting to be repaired.”
