I am reporting a serious and recurring safety issue involving my 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The vehicle currently has approximately 95,000 miles. On the first incident, the vehicle became disabled and gasoline was pouring from the rear of the vehicle. Police and fire personnel responded and the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership’s repair documentation states that the vehicle was brought in as a no-start with gas pouring from the rear and that technicians “found fuel line disconnected.” The fuel line was resecured. Shortly after that repair, the same serious problem occurred again. The vehicle again became disabled and leaked a substantial amount of gasoline. Police and fire personnel responded again, and the vehicle was towed back to the dealership. During the second repair, the dealership diagnosed another fuel tube issue and replaced two fuel-system components/fuel tubes. The vehicle remained at the dealership for approximately ten days. I picked up the vehicle on September 30, 2026. After driving approximately 60 miles, the Check Engine light illuminated again. Because both previous incidents began with a warning light and subsequently resulted in the vehicle becoming disabled and leaking gasoline, I do not believe it is safe to start or drive the vehicle. I am particularly concerned that the vehicle could suddenly become disabled while traveling on a highway or in heavy traffic, creating a serious risk to the occupants and other motorists. I am also concerned about the fire hazard associated with the repeated fuel leakage. This vehicle has already undergone two repair attempts relating to this fuel-system problem, yet a warning light has returned immediately after the most recent repair. I am requesting that this matter be formally documented as a recurring fuel-system safety issue, escalated for technical review by the manufacturer, and thoroughly investigated to determine the root cause before the vehicle is returned to service.
NHTSA complaint 11768199The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The contact stated that the sun visor failed to stay in place and was flopping around while driving at various speeds. The sun visor was inoperable and was a distraction to the driver. The contact stated that while making a sharp left turn at 10 MPH, the contact's vision became obstructed by the sun and the vehicle crashed into another vehicle on the opposite side of traffic. The air bags failed to deploy upon impact. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, and the front-end damage was repaired. The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side third row headrests failed to remain upright and flopped backwards. The contact stated that the touch screen used to control the A/C temperature, located in both the front end and rear of the vehicle, glitched and change the temperature to an undesired level. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for repair of the screens under warranty; however, the dealer only repaired the front screen. The manufacturer was notified of the failures but offered no assistance.
NHTSA complaint 11766762I am filing this complaint because my Grand Wagoneer has experienced repeated, serious safety-related failures involving the braking system, electrical/communication systems, and vehicle shutdown. I no longer believe this vehicle is safe to operate. The most serious problem has occurred more than once. On July 21, 2026, while driving, the brakes failed. The brake pedal went to the floor and the vehicle would not stop normally. Multiple warning lights/messages appeared. I ultimately had to shift the vehicle into Park to prevent a collision. The vehicle was taken to the Jeep dealership and remained there for an extended period while the problem was investigated. The dealership reported that it could not identify stored diagnostic codes explaining the brake failure. I was told that the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced before the matter could be escalated further. I authorized approximately $2,000 in brake-related repairs. After an extended stay at the dealership, I received the vehicle back on approximately September 1, 2026. Only approximately two days later, on September 3, 2026, another extremely serious failure occurred. While I was driving, the braking system failed again. The brake pedal went to the floor and I was unable to stop the vehicle normally. The vehicle also experienced an electrical/system failure and shut down while I was driving. Numerous warning messages appeared, including a check-engine warning and suspension/damping system failure. There was also a loss-of-communication fault involving the Body Control Module (U0140 – Lost Communication With Body Control Module). This incident occurred near my daughter’s school and created an immediate risk of a collision and serious injury. The vehicle subsequently restarted, but the clock/time in the vehicle had changed, suggesting that the vehicle may have experienced a significant electrical interruption or module reset. The check-engine light remained illuminated. Other electrical problems
NHTSA complaint 11763422My 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer has been subject to an open safety recall involving the rear passenger-side window trim since I purchased the vehicle in 2025. I scheduled and attended numerous appointments with the authorized Jeep dealership seeking completion of the recall repair, but the defect was never remedied. On September 7, 2026, my husband was driving the Grand Wagoneer while I followed behind in another vehicle. My two toddlers were occupants of my vehicle. Before the incident, I observed the recalled rear passenger window trim flapping and becoming loose. The trim then detached completely from the Grand Wagoneer while both vehicles were traveling at approximately 75 mph on the highway. The detached trim entered or moved toward my vehicle’s path, forcing me to swerve suddenly to avoid striking it. This created an immediate risk of losing control, colliding with another vehicle, or leaving the roadway. The incident endangered the occupants of both vehicles, including my two young children, as well as other motorists. Fortunately, no collision or injuries occurred. The flapping trim was the only warning immediately before it detached. The dealership had prior notice of the unrepaired recall because I had brought the vehicle in approximately four times beginning in November 2025. Despite those appointments, the recalled component remained on the vehicle and ultimately failed in the manner the recall was intended to prevent. The vehicle and photographs of the affected area are available for inspection. The detached trim was recovered. Dealership service records and recall communications documenting the unsuccessful repair attempts are also available.
NHTSA complaint 11762625There have been multiple recalls (77C and 88C) affecting 2022-2025 Wagoneers where the trimming was not properly secured at the vehicle assembly plant. Our rear window trim was affected by one of these recalls and has fully detached from our vehicle while we were driving which has yet to be replaced by the dealership. I have attached a picture to show our rear window trim that is missing. We are having a similar issue with our front passenger window trim but the dealership has stated this is not part of the recall but based off the pictures attached it is evident that the retainer clips were also not fully engaged in this part of the window trim and is beginning to detach and pose as a road hazard if it completely detaches from the vehicle while driving.
NHTSA complaint 11760184There were 2 recent safety recalls (77C and 88C) that affected numerous 2022-2025 Grand Wagoneer vehicles regarding the window trim. One of the recalls directly affected our vehicle where the rear trim detached and flew off our vehicle. The dealership has yet to replace this rear trim stating that the window has to be replaced as well and is currently on backorder. The bottom half of our window trim on the passenger side is also starting to detach from the vehicle but the dealership states that it is not part of the recalls associated with our vehicle. It is a similar issue where the trim was not properly secured. The retainer clips are clearly not fully engaged which can be seen in the attached photos. I have also included a photo of our rear trim to show how it has completely detached from our vehicle so clearly an issue at the vehicle assembly plant with our vehicle. If this bottom half of our passenger window trim detaches while driving it will pose a road hazard to operators and occupants of other vehicles.
NHTSA complaint 11757954I am submitting additional information regarding NHTSA complaint #11725438 involving my 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Series III. The original complaint involved the front passenger seat lumbar support unexpectedly inflating to maximum firmness without any occupant input. The lumbar support became extremely hard and uncomfortable as though it had inflated to its highest setting on its own creating a large rock hard bulge in the passenger’s back. Since filing the original complaint, the same defect has now occurred in the driver’s seat. The driver’s lumbar support suddenly became rock hard without any adjustment being made to the seat controls. The change was sudden rather than gradual happening overnight. This defect has now occurred in both front seats of the vehicle, suggesting a possible system-wide issue rather than an isolated seat component failure. The unexpected inflation creates a driver distraction and can affect comfort and vehicle operation while driving. This complaint is intended to supplement and update NHTSA complaint #11725438. I request that this additional occurrence be added to the existing record. Many other Wagoneer owners have experienced this same issue as I see repeated complaints of this happening on the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer owner’s facebook pages. There is no way to remedy this situation on my own. The vehicle is not just uncomfortable, it is unsafe in this condition.
NHTSA complaint 11743582The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front passenger seat had inflated without a passenger seated in the seat. No warning light was illuminated. The front passenger seat failed to deflate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 80,500.
NHTSA complaint 11731153The upper trim on the rear passenger window came off unexpectedly, which could have caused a safety hazard if it hit another car or a person.
NHTSA complaint 11728814The front passenger seat lumbar/massage system malfunctioned and inflated without user input to maximum capacity. The lumbar air bladder became over-pressurized and created a large, hard, immovable bulge in the center of the seatback. The system will not properly deflate and remains in this condition. The failed component appears to be the lumbar/massage module and valve system, which is electronically controlled. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This condition creates a rigid protrusion directly behind the occupant’s spine. In the event of a crash, this would alter occupant positioning, concentrate force on the spine, and interfere with proper restraint function and airbag performance. This will increase the risk of injury to the occupant. The problem has been confirmed by Lander’s Jeep dealership in Little Rock, AR, which acknowledged the issue but advised that diagnosis and repair would be costly and would not be covered under my warranty or extended service contract provided by MOPAR. No warning lights or messages appeared prior to the failure. The issue occurred suddenly during normal use. Online research shows countless similar failures in 2022+ Jeep Grand Wagoneer vehicles, with consistent reports of lumbar/massage module or valve failures causing uncontrolled inflation. Some owners report repeat failures and electrical issues related to the seat module. Given the repeated nature of this failure across multiple vehicles and the potential safety implications, this issue should be investigated as a possible safety defect affecting occupant protection systems. I have multiple more examples of this from Facebook Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer Owner groups, however I am limited to just 10 uploads.
NHTSA complaint 11725438Travelling with my young daughter on the Freeway at Freeway speeds at 9pm (nighttime). The entire vehicle just shut down. EVERYTHING - completely dark. Steering went out. Brakes went out. I had to get the car to basically drift to a shoulder and slow down gradually in a spot where we would be safely out of the way of traffic. Again no brakes or steering and completely dead. Hazzard lights would not work. I had to get the car towed and get my daughter and all of our stuff out of the car on the freeway at night in the complete dark. Scary stuff. It's an expensive car and 2022 is the first model year of the Grand Wagoneer. I suspect based on my experience with this car that this model year will have these types of problems going forward. The car has had electrical issues from day 1 and its unsurprising this happened. What is surprising is just how dangerous the situation was when you were in it. It was a shocking experience.
NHTSA complaint 11719041The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 MPH, the ABS, the ESC, and the Parking Brake warnings illuminated. The contact stated that the brake pedal felt loose and travelled to the floorboard upon depression; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact shifted to neutral (N), and the vehicle decelerated. The contact stated that she was picked up by her husband, who then drove the vehicle to a dealer. The vehicle had not yet been diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the same failure had previously occurred while reversing (R) out of the driveway. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.
NHTSA complaint 11707483The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The contact stated that after entering the vehicle, it was discovered that the front passenger's side seat lumbar section had erroneously bulged outward making the front passenger’s seat extremely uncomfortable. Additionally, the contact stated while seated, the front passenger's head did not comfortably reach the headrest. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was determined that the front passenger’s seat lumbar module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred with the front driver's side seat several months later. The front driver's side seat was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted regarding the failures. The failure mileage was 51,000.
NHTSA complaint 11701401Dear NHTSA, I am filing this complaint regarding a serious and ongoing turbocharger and engine problem in my 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Despite being one of Jeep’s flagship luxury vehicles, my SUV has experienced repeated engine warning lights, loss of power, and now complete turbo failure—all within 57,300 miles and under warranty. Soon after purchase (used, low mileage), the check engine light began appearing repeatedly. The dealership (Jeep Pearson, Broad Street, Richmond, VA) performed several repairs and software resets, but the problem always returned. Recently, I was informed that the turbocharger must be replaced—an alarming issue for such a premium vehicle. These failures have created safety risks including: Sudden loss of acceleration while driving on highways or merging. Hesitation or delayed throttle response, leading to unpredictable behavior in traffic. Concern about engine stalling or overheating from repeated malfunction. I have already escalated the issue to Jeep Brand (Stellantis) and requested the following: Vehicle replacement with a safe, defect-free model; Buyback and loan payoff to remove liability from a defective vehicle; or Two-year warranty extension covering all turbo and powertrain components. Despite multiple service visits and my written escalation, Jeep has not provided a permanent fix or assurance that the problem won’t return after repair. My warranty is nearing expiration, leaving me at risk of future costs caused by what appears to be a manufacturing defect. Through online research and owner discussions, I’ve found other Grand Wagoneer owners reporting similar turbo failures, power loss, and recurring check-engine issues, often before 60,000 miles. This suggests a potential systemic defect that could compromise safety across the 2022 Grand Wagoneer line. I respectfully ask NHTSA to Investigate turbo and powertrain reliability in 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneers.

NHTSA complaint 11698484At approximately 38,000 miles we were driving on the expressway heading west into the evening sun when we pulled down the driver sunvisor for the first time and heard a snap and the entire visor fell off the roof into driver lap. Heavy visibility and safety concern. Also near 56,000 miles the exact same thing happened on the passenger side of the vehicle and after much research, this appears to be a very common theme for these parts and we are concerned as a consumer to spend close to $1,000 to replace this safety equipment to only have the same thing happen again. Need help as Jeep and the local dealership are unwilling to offer any assistance.
NHTSA complaint 11695949I own a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Series III (VIN [XXX] ) that has experienced repeated, unresolved electrical system failures which pose a direct risk to my safety and to the motoring public. The vehicle has already required fourteen warranty visits, with thirty-one days out of service and twenty repeat repairs. The problems include multiple no-crank/no-start events that have left me stranded, four premature battery failures, and ongoing electrical malfunctions affecting the instrument cluster, infotainment system, HVAC, rear camera, mirrors, power running boards, and other electronic modules. These failures show that the electrical system is unstable and unpredictable. On [XXX], after the latest no-start incident, the dealership’s service manager told me directly that the issue was “more than just a bad battery.” Despite this acknowledgment, the only action taken was to replace the battery for the fourth time and declare the vehicle “repaired.” Jeep’s customer care initially agreed that the history showed a deeper safety issue and promised to open a STAR engineering inspection, but that inspection has never been scheduled. Instead, I am being pressured to pick up and drive a vehicle that the dealership itself admitted has unresolved electrical problems. This is not just a matter of inconvenience — the risk of sudden electrical shutdowns while driving, or the loss of critical safety systems such as brakes, steering modules, and cameras, presents a clear hazard to my family and others on the road. A vehicle with this history should not be returned to service based only on repeated battery swaps while the underlying defect remains unidentified. I respectfully ask NHTSA to investigate the 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Series III for systemic electrical failures and to ensure that Stellantis does not force consumers to operate unsafe vehicles that continue to suffer from recurring electrical shutdowns.

NHTSA complaint 11683553Subject: Safety Complaint – 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer – Multiple Safety-Critical Failures and Warranty Concerns. I am the owner of a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (purchase price $114,000 USD), well maintained and currently with 41,000 miles. Despite careful use, it has developed multiple recurring electrical and mechanical failures that present serious safety risks: •Parking and side sensors fail, making obstacle and blind-spot detection unreliable. •Rear-view camera often shows a solid blue screen in reverse, leaving no rear visibility. •Main display flickers, freezes, or shuts off; infotainment reboots while driving, disabling controls. •Entire electronic system resets mid-drive, affecting safety features. •Power liftgate fails to open. •Air suspension changes height on its own, affecting handling and stability. While the basic 36,000-mile warranty has expired, the vehicle still has a 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Many of these failures involve safety-critical systems that should be addressed without cost to the owner. I recently brought the vehicle to an authorized Jeep dealer, who charged $1,399 USD just for diagnostics instead of addressing them under warranty or goodwill. These issues are widely reported by other 2022 Grand Wagoneer owners, suggesting systemic defects. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate promptly, require Jeep/Stellantis to issue recalls where necessary, provide a permanent fix, and ensure dealers address safety-related defects regardless of basic warranty expiration.
NHTSA complaint 11681054The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The contact stated while driving at approximately 80 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the message "Shift to Park and Restart" was displayed. The contact was able to coast to the side of the roadway and shifted to park(P). The contact was able restart the vehicle and continued driving. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated; however, the failure recurred while driving. The message "ACC Disabled" was displayed, and the power steering warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle; however, the vehicle went into Limp mode and failed to exceed 15 MPH. The vehicle was taken to a different dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.
NHTSA complaint 11677332Our car is now having two issues: 1. The first issue is extremely scary, but we found a temporary work around so have been dealing with it for months as we needed are car. If the auto stop/start is not turned off (which has to happen ever time the car is started), the car essentially puts on an emergency break and shuts down the car at the first for second stop. This happened in the middle of a busy intersection the first time and happened numerous other times including while I was on the phone with the Jeep dealership. It is extremely dangerous as you can be stuck at a stop light in the middle of the road and the car has to be turned off and turned back on. We drive on [XXX] in michigan daily for work and it is a 55mph road with dozens of stop lights making this a huge safety hazard. I have seen numerous other people on a Jeep Wagoneer facebook page with the same issue. 2. The second issue is more recent, but has made the car un-drivable. While driving suddenly the "service fuel system" alert comes on with the check engine light flashing and the car feels like it is going to stall out, then it will regulate and the alert will go away, then it will come back a minute later. We immediately drove our car to the dealership as it was not drivable that way and they have had it for 3 weeks unable to find a fix. We put premium 93 gas in our car and it has not been in any accidents. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
NHTSA complaint 11667816I was told the vehicle has a TSB out for stuck thermostat in the engine. It can cause malfunctions, overheating, etc. we also have an issue with the trunk door not closing or opening properly due to a module issue.
