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 intersections puts my life and the lives of my passengers at immediate risk. Unresolved Root Cause: A high-amperage engine fuse does not blow without an underlying cause. I am deeply concerned that charging $450 to swap a fuse without diagnosing the systemic current spike—likely tied to the recent software update or the auxiliary stop-start battery logic—will leave me stranded again. Proximity to Warranty: Given that the vehicle is a 2024 model and barely past the 36,000-mile mark, a catastrophic electrical failure of this nature should be covered by the manufacturer.

I own a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer Series III equipped with the Hurricane Inline-6 engine. The vehicle has experienced multiple intermittent operating events in which the vehicle displayed a message directing the driver to place the vehicle in PARK and restart the vehicle. The events have occurred under multiple driving conditions, including: While driving in a parking lot. While operating in slow-moving highway traffic. While exiting a freeway at higher speed. At least two events involved what appeared to be automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake while the vehicle was moving. Following these events, the vehicle required a PARK-and-RESTART cycle before normal operation resumed. The issue is intermittent and does not remain active after restarting. Additional Symptoms In addition to the shutdown/restart events, the vehicle has exhibited: Intermittent harsh or irregular shifting. Noticeable drivetrain jolts during gear changes. Low-speed engine revving followed by awkward shifting. Intermittent vibration/shudder at highway speeds. A recent dashboard warning indicator resembling a collision/crash or safety-system warning that illuminated briefly before disappearing following the restart. Safety Concern The most serious concern is that the vehicle has required a PARK-and-RESTART cycle while being operated and has appeared to engage the electronic parking brake during operation. Because these events have occurred while the vehicle was moving, including while exiting a freeway, I am concerned about the possibility of loss of vehicle control, unexpected braking, loss of propulsion, or a collision. The vehicle is currently being presented to a Jeep dealership for diagnosis. They stated they think the shaking is bad gas which I disagree because it’s occurred over a few fill ups. Also they said they updated software and were about to release to me. Then when doing a short test drive the fault condition occurred again.

Third time while driving the car just stops stays on drive but car is completely dead. Have to put in park and turn off and on car to go. Also have a few times of the car is in a parking spot and then go to reverse stop limit brakes and it won’t let you go when you put it into drive. It does the same thing and it’s stuck until you turn the car off and back on.. The most scary thing is twice it’s been in the middle of the intersection that it’s died today. It happened for the fourth time three times in a row. I have taken my car into Jeep and has been there for over 69 days in total for many different electrical issues. They keep blaming it on the battery these in corrosion. I don’t see how they can get away with this
