2023 Jeep Wagoneer Driver assistance Problems

On multiple occasions, when starting the vehicle, the screen on the dashboard remains with the power button and instructions to depress the brake and push button to start. The car starts, but no gauges appear on the dashboard. Turning the car off and back on does not resolve the issue. The car is on and running and will let me shift into gear and drive the car, as demonstrated in multiple videos. Driving the car while a message on how to start the car is concerning as I cannot see/view the speedometer or any other gauges. Additionally, the indicator that the driver’s door is open is on when the door is shut. Turning the vehicle off, exiting and locking does not resolve the issue and the screen remains illuminated with the same message. These issues have been reported to the dealer and each time I have been told they cannot reproduce the issue-most recently in May 2026 when the vehicle was inspected, even when showing them photos and videos.

Speedometer read zero while driving on the interstate and RPMs felt as if they were off. New electrical cluster and new battery by Jeep have already been replaced claiming it would resolve this issue.

The vehicle was bought June 2023, starting September 2023 we have had continual electrical problems. The blind spot warning system constantly activates and takes over. The automatic braking system randomly activates for no reason. The car will go into full braking and stop. This will happen at all speeds to include highway speeds. Now I am getting check engine lights and the code changes every time the light activates. When we take it to the dealership for service all we get is "we can't replicate the issue" and nothing is fixed. I ran a Car Fax and found that instead of coding the problem that it was brought in for, Jeep has coded it as maintenance inspection or electrical system checked. This is even when modules, radios or electrical systems have been replaced. I have a feeling that Jeep is coding this way to avoid recalls or to hide problems. I would think this constitutes fraud. My Jeep has serious electrical issues that Jeep will not address. I am stuck driving it as it is my only vehicle.

Speedometer & gauges will randomly blackout and not work and it causes the engine to do funny things while driving. Battery drains from the issues (stranded twice even after new batteries installed). Rear view camera sometimes glitches as well and freezes up.

Vehicle speedometer has randomly blacked out on numerous occasions not allowing me to see any of my gauges. While driving on the interstate and merging the vehicle has stalled and RPMS stay stagnant yet you can hear the engine revving & then it acts like it will catch up. While driving up hill the vehicle began to stall almost like it was towing something when it was not. Back up camera has failed to turn on (resolved its self after I restarted the car). When I take it into the dealer error codes never seem to pop for these issues even though it tells me to see dealer, and read manual for proper oil and fuel usage. It’s like it has a mind of its own and it worries me to continue driving my three children around when electrical issues randomly happen every month or so & it needs constant updating. Both batteries have been replaced due to these issues draining the life out of them.

The vehicle accelerated without the pedal being depressed from a fully stopped position. The vehicle struck a tree and was severely damaged and a total loss. The data from the black box could not be retrieved by the local Jeep dealer. Insurance and law enforcement officials did not want to pursue investigation. Vehicle was released to insurance company for salvage so total loss claim could be processed and paid.

Engine overheated and oil pressure low warnings came on suddenly and lost power. I had my two grandkids and was on a dark country road with ditches and no shoulders. Pulled off at the next cross street to get to safety. Was stranded at night in a rural area with my [XXX] and [XXX]. Had to have vehicle towed and wait for someone to pick us up. Thermostat failed, which is a known problem but my VIN wasn’t listed on the 26b notice. Engine was damaged beyond repair. It took three weeks for them to replace the engine. The morning after I picked up the Wagon, the brake warning light came on when the grandkids were in it again. The dealership told me to have it towed. They said they spilled brake fluid when they replaced the engine and refilled it. I paid nearly 100k for this unsafe car! There is no excuse for not replacing a cheap $50 thermostat to avoid this issue. Why haven’t they issued a recall?

Vehicle dash board lights up with trailer brake assist and brakes on highway while going 60+ speed. It does it periodically with no warn and becoming more frequent as I have been driving. I have stressed to the dealership since Jan about this issue and the safety. The lane assist keeps turning off and tells me to get service. Dealership says it is fixed but two days later still acting up.

After very minor accident the car crash symbol and the car in lane symbol came on and will not turn off. Took to dealer and they said there was no update to correct the problem. Feel unsafe in a car that should be safe since it's new. And has error message of limited functionality.

Incident

Aug 2, 2023

Driving vehicle with no vehicles within 100 yards directly in front of vehicle and with 1 car in the lane to vehicles right on a 2-lane road. Vehicle on the right was about 30-40 car lengths ahead of my own vehicle. The collision detection system and emergency braking system sounded off, lit up the dash panel stating BREAK, and then applied the brakes while going 50 mph with drivers behind me. The driver behind me had to swerve onto the left median to avoid colliding with my vehicle. The obvious issue here is that no vehicle was within any distance that should have triggered my collision avoidance system, but yet it went off unexpectedly and almost caused the person behind me to wreck their vehicle into mine. No check engine light or other service lights were on at the time of this event or subsequent events I have experience since this first event occurring. Called Wagoneer Client services who told me that all reports they receive are not reviewed by Stellantis even if they are a safety issue. I called the dealership after receiving this information from the Wagoneer client services and took my vehicle in to be looked at. Dealer stated because no freeze frame trouble data existed this must not be an issue and determined it was not having issues. Vehicle since being taken in has suffered from numerous electrical issues and has been out of service for weeks without rectifying. This however is a major safety issue and thus I feel needs to be researched and looked into.
