Suspension
Filed Aug 9, 2026
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.

I am reporting a serious safety concern with my 2024 Jeep Wagoneer. For approximately six months, I have repeatedly taken the vehicle to an authorized Viva Jeep dealership in [XXX], because of transmission and acceleration concerns. The dealership has attempted to diagnose the issue, including keeping my vehicle for approximately one month, but the problem has not been resolved. On XXX, while driving, the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated without my intention or command and reached approximately 90 mph. I was able to regain control and safely stop the vehicle. The following day, I experienced additional abnormal behavior. When pressing the accelerator, the RPM and shifting did not respond normally, and the vehicle appeared to remain in an incorrect gear. I have repeatedly reported concerns about the transmission/powertrain for months, but the problem continues and has now escalated into a serious safety concern. I do not feel safe operating this vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA document and review this incident as a potential vehicle safety defect involving unintended acceleration and transmission/powertrain malfunction.
