2022 Jeep Wagoneer Other / unspecified Problems

UNKNOWN I have had this jeep to 3 different dealerships multiple times over the 2 years I have owned it. I am getting my 3rd set of tires put on today. I have put approx 30k on it. It is eating tires. Down to the belt. The vehicle starts to vibrate at 70mph. I just had it aligned in March 2026, they said tires were fine. Vehicle started to vibrate at high speeds again and I took it in. It is so far out of alignment that the belts are showing on the front right tire. I smell burning rubber almost after every drive. This cannot be safe. What is causing is to go out of alignment constantly? I have read multiple threads where this is a known issue and something needs to be done about it, PLEASE

2022 Wagoneer Series III has major alignment issues and ruining tires with the outside tire edges cupping/wearing bald due to the alignment kicking out within an hour of being aligned and driven at highway speeds. Vehicle also has a death wobble when going over 65 mph and pulls hard to the right almost causing the vehicle to go off the road or into another lane if you are not bare knuckling the steering wheel to the left to counteract the hard right pulling. Vehicle has been in and out of the Dealership since 12/2024 to address the problem, however FCA/Stellanis has come back with no fix or solution to the problem and states to bring the vehicle in every 3,000 miles to have an alignment done, which is unacceptable. The vehicle has most recently been at the Dealership since 1/2026 and is still currently at the Dealership as of today 6/5/2026. A Star ticket was opened with the Manufacturer to address the issues, and a Field Engineer was sent out who was unable to diagnose why the alignment is falling out after the vehicle is realigned. Stellanis/FCA is now claiming this is a "maintenance" issue and not a manufacturing defect. The Dealership most recently had an independent technician who specializes in diagnostics/troubleshooting FCA issues look at the vehicle and the technician also could not diagnose why the alignment is continuing to fail. Online forums have hundreds of Consumer complaints about this same issue with trying to get it resolved with FCA directly and having no luck. This is a major safety issue that will eventually lead to a tire blowout or veering off the road and could result in serious injuries to someone if this is not addressed properly. It should not take someone getting in an accident or being killed/seriously injured for FCA/Stellanis to take this manufacturing defect seriously. These vehicles need to be recalled and thoroughly inspected with thorough alignment testing.

Car seat has been installed in Jeep Wagoneer for approximately 3 months. Was installed by a CPST. 25 lb rear-facing child; installed with lower latch anchors. When placing child in seat one day, CPST-caregiver suddenly noticed movement in the seat and confirmed more than 1 inch of movement at the belt path. Upon removal to reinstall, it was noted that the Snuglock lockoff arm was no longer locked in place. Child's safety was put at risk because there was no longer a secure install of the car seat. Car seat only inspected prior to reinstall by CPST-caregiver. Car seat available for inspection upon request. Car seat still in use.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the third-row passenger’s side panel. While inspecting the vehicle, the contact was able to fit their fingers between the window and the panel. The contact stated that while turning the steering wheel to the right or the left, the front driver’s and passenger’s side wheels were vibrating and made a winding sound. The contact stated that while making a sharp turn, there was a loud clunking sound and vibration coming from the wheels. The contact stated that the message to clear the front camera was displayed, and that the Driver Assist feature was deactivated because the camera was not clean. The contact believed there was a glitch in the system because the camera seemed to be clean at the time of the warning. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V545000 (Structure); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the dealer replaced the panel and claimed that the panel was flush with the vehicle. After the vehicle was repaired, the whistling and rattling sound persisted. The contact inspected the vehicle again and stated that the panel and the window were not flush and were still able to place their fingers between the panel and the window. The dealer informed the contact that the work was completed and could not adjust the panel. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,200.

Front right tire always has balding on the outside. Had multiple alignments. Had it into the dealership several times, always told they can’t find anything wrong. On third set of tires always having tires rotated when supposed to. Clearly something is wrong with this uneven tread.

Severe outside tire wear on front tires and vibration at interstate speeds. Multiple cases on the forums which no one can get resolved. Unacceptable. Results in bald tires in as little as 10000 miles. See picture and links to forums. Stellantis should really recall or TSB this issue, especially on a high end vehicle. We need consumer protection from the government on these lemons. Three posts below, but there are many more threads if you look on the forum.

I purchased the car, July 2022. It was a used certified vehicle with 3289 miles on it. This is a commercial vehicle as I own my own business. I reported two days after purchasing it that The front passenger tire shakes. For two years now, I have been trying to get Wagoneer and my dealership to fix the issue. Last Thursday, I was instructed to replace all the tires and see what happens. I did so And the shaking is still occurring. I received an email from Wagoneer services this morning telling me there is nothing they can do about it. I have a call into an attorney. This car has been towed on a flatbed three times since purchasing has been in the shop 16 times sometimes over three months at one time. I do believe that I should have to pay for a vehicle that is so terrible especially being $105,000 vehicle. Wagoneer is impeding my business and my business revenue because I cannot drive this car safely. I have been paying $1500 payment for two years and have never had a car that worked 100% properly. They refused to reimburse me for any of my time down. My contract states that I am to have a Wagoneer as a rental while they are working on my car that is only happened to one time. They tried to give me itty-bitty cars to run my business out of.
