I am requesting an investigation into a potential fuel-system safety defect involving my 2022 Jeep Wagoneer 5.7L V8 HEMI, which I purchased brand-new from an authorized Jeep dealership. For several months, I have experienced a persistent gasoline odor inside the passenger compartment. The gasoline smell is also noticeable when opening the hood. I have observed what appears to be fresh gasoline around the fuel injectors. I am extremely concerned about the possibility of a fuel leak, fire hazard, and prolonged exposure to gasoline vapors. I am requesting: 1. A comprehensive inspection of the fuel injectors, injector seals, fuel rail, and fuel lines. 2. An investigation into whether this condition is related to a manufacturing defect. 3. Verification of any applicable recalls or technical service bulletins. 4. Consideration for repair assistance if a defect is identified. 5. Written documentation of the findings. I am reporting this as a potential vehicle safety concern because gasoline leakage near the engine could create a fire hazard. And me and my family has been inhaling for God knows how long problem was going on no engine light at all

While driving the power steering went out in the car, causing me to temporarily lose control and almost causing a collision. The light came on and a message saying service power steering. Took it to the dealership it’s a common issue and Jeep has a software update for it. Well considering how significant of a safety issue it was and is, no one should have to pay for that. However the dealership said take it up with Jeep.

This is actually the 3rd time this vehicle has shut down on me and it is absolutely terrifying and a HUGE risk for anyone riding in this vehicle when it happens, as well as other vehicles in its pathway.The first time it happened (XXX) i was driving on a state route about 20 miles from home when I had messages come up on my dashthat functions were going to start shutting down, one after another just minutes prior to it shutting down.I fortunately got pulled off into a parking lot befor I lost the power steering and my vehicle shutting down. The car was taken to a dealership and they had it from XXX Local trip just a few miles from home, and without ANY warning it shut down AGAIN! No chance to pull over! It's so terrifying to be in a lane of traffic and no power to get you off the roadway!! Car went to dealership. They had my car from XXX (about 2 MONTHS!) and without a loaner car I may add!! Again vehicles electrical systems were not charging and the BCM was throwing ECU mismatch codes and the were instructed to replace the entire Power Pack Unit. And now we are on event #3 of losing the entire operation of the power system all while driving down the road and this is absolutely terrifying!! The mild hybrid system in this vehicle is not reliable and is putting peoples lives in danger when it shuts down like this ans without warning to let you know to get off the roadway! I have 6 grandchildrenthat i transport around in my vehicle and fortunately have not been with me on any of these occasions but it is one of my biggest fears is that it could happen when the are in the car and it ends in tragedy.

My 2022 Jeep Wagoneer has experienced four separate incidents of complete power loss while being operated. During these events, the electrical displays went dark and electrical functions stopped working on the entire vehicle On [XXX], the vehicle lost all power while I was pulling into my garage. It would not release from Park normally and required wheel skates and towing. The dealership replaced the battery, but the symptoms later returned. On [XXX], the vehicle lost all power while traveling approximately 20–30 mph near [XXX] and [XXX] in heavy holiday traffic. I could not reach the shoulder and stopped in a turning lane without a collision. The vehicle required towing. The dealership told me it performed a computer reset and software update. In approximately February 2026, associated with a February 11 service entry, the vehicle again lost power while driving. I was able to restart it and drive to the dealership. My recollection is that I was told another reset/software update was performed, although the online service summary says “Check Battery.” On [XXX], the vehicle lost all power while traveling approximately 35–40 mph on [XXX]. I was able to pull into a service station, restart the vehicle, and deliver it to Chris Crain Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Benton, Arkansas, that day. As of September 30, 2026, the vehicle had remained at the dealership for 33 days without a completed repair communicated to me. A dealership representative, Kim, told me by telephone that technicians had reproduced the failure, suspected an electrical component or connector short, and contacted Jeep engineers. I do not have a confirmed written diagnosis. I am concerned that another unexpected complete power loss in traffic could cause a collision. Similar symptoms have recurred after prior repair efforts, but they all share the same underlying cause. I request review of these incidents as a potential safety defect.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to report a serious safety concern involving my Jeep Wagoneer. The vehicle has experienced intermittent stalling issues, creating a hazardous driving situation and leaving me stranded. The vehicle unexpectedly stalled, causing a loss of power and leaving me without reliable transportation. Given the potential safety risks associated with a vehicle stalling while in operation, I am extremely concerned about the possibility of this occurring again, particularly in traffic or at highway speeds. Adding to my frustration, after contacting the dealership for assistance, I was informed that it would be approximately eight days before the vehicle could even be inspected. A delay of this length for a vehicle experiencing a potentially dangerous drivability and safety issue is unacceptable and leaves me without confidence in the safety and reliability of the vehicle. I am requesting that this matter be investigated promptly and that appropriate action be taken to address the stalling condition. I also believe this issue warrants review for any potential broader safety concerns affecting other Jeep Wagoneer owners. Please document this complaint and advise me regarding any available assistance, escalation options, or known remedies related to this condition. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

While driving, vehicle suddenly displayed low voltage and "power saving mode" error messages. Multiple systems shut down including AC and radio. With engine stop/start disabled, engine died while slowing to a stop, automatically engaged parking brake, and vehicle shut down. Was able to restart and limp home. Vehicle would not re-start after shutdown. Battery was completely discharged (<9V) and still hot to the touch 4 hours after turned off. Battery tested good, but was replaced out of caution. Current static battery voltage 12.3V. Charging voltage while running 13.4V. Voltage while running with heavy electrical load (AC, radio, heated seats, headlights on) 12.9V.

Stopped veheicle at construction stop light diverting heavy traffic to one lane. Was first in line at the light and when light turned green I started thru the one lane( total length was probably 3/10 of a mile) with a couple of hundred yeards to go my engine stopped running and I was able to just barely reach the end of the one lane and pull over where the mile of traffic built up behind me could pass. Called wrecker and got towed to nearest Jeep dealer and was told the fuel pump had gone out. Been decades since I had a fuel pump go out in a car. Just glad I was not in heavy [XXX] traffic. That would have been dangerous. Repair invoice says that I reported "engine light came and lost oil preasure". Neither of those alerts came on. The eengine just stopped out of the blue.

Vehicle Information: 2022 Jeep Wagoneer (5.7L V8 eTorque Mild-Hybrid System)Component Affected: Electrical System / Hybrid Propulsion System Defect: My 2022 Jeep Wagoneer continuously experiences sudden engine stalling and unexpected shutdowns while operating in Auto Start-Stop mode. When the vehicle comes to a complete stop at a red light or intersection, the engine shuts off normally to save fuel. However, when I release the brake pedal to accelerate, the vehicle fails to restart automatically. Instead, the vehicle suffers a total loss of power, drops the transmission directly into Park (P), and abruptly engages the emergency parking brake. This creates an immediate, severe safety hazard as it leaves me completely stranded in active traffic and at busy intersections. To get moving again, I am forced to completely cycle the push-button ignition manually. Additionally, the vehicle regularly fails to remote-start, turning itself off immediately due to the electrical fault. A diagnostic scan reveals DTC P0B42 (Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage Sense "B" Circuit Low). This dangerous stalling pattern directly matches the active federal probe under NHTSA Investigation PE24018 regarding 2022 Jeep Wagoneer 48-volt electrical and power distribution failures.

Battery light came on and showed low voltage while driving down the highway along with a loud sound. Also the icon with a red A and a circle around it came on, the lights and icons starting signaling. The steering wheel instantly became difficult to turn and control. I started to pull off the road the best I could and the parking break engaged before I could come to a complete stop. I wasn’t even off the road before the vehicle came to a stop.

ENGINE Fire 2026-08-12 · NHTSA 11756614

My car blew an engine while I was inside the car. The car was in park and running in a parking lot when the parking brake automatically engaged unexpectedly. Then, the gauge cluster instructed me to press the brake and push the start/stop button. I then got a warning on my gauge cluster, this time notifying my car entered starter protection mode. Repeating the process three times, me, my four year-old daughter, and were put at high risk of suffering burns as my car started to give off a burning smell of oil, as well strong white smoke from the hood, and shut off the car and opened the hood to release the smoke. If I had waited longer, there would have been a fire. The car is available upon inspection and is currently at my local dealer as of 8/11/2026 (Thunder Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Bartow, Florida) for repairs. An engine failure was confirmed by discoveries by the dealer of a broken valve spring, a dropped cylinder, a cracked piston head, and an oil-coolant mixture. The dealer confirmed that this stemmed from Stellantis's faulty "Multi-Displacement System" (MDS) cylinder-deactivation system and "eTorque" mild-hybrid system. Both systems work together to save fuel at cruising speeds and stoplights. However, due to the constant cycling of both systems, they contribute to the excessive engine stress and oil pressure fluctuation, which are known for the "WS" Jeep Wagoneer, the "DT" RAM 1500, and the "WL" Grand Cherokee equipped with the 5.7L HEMI eTorque V8. The dealer relayed the issues to Stellantis North America, showing videos and photos of this catastrophic mechanical failure.

Liftgate Latch Assembly Failure: The vehicle experienced an internal electrical short circuit and hardware failure within the power liftgate latch assembly. This defective latch caused a severe parasitic 12V battery drain that repeatedly rendered the vehicle completely dead, leaving it unexpectedly stranded. The hardware failure also triggered a software error loop that locked the power liftgate into an inoperable mode (3-beep lockout). Replacing the liftgate latch assembly successfully resolved the liftgate operation and eliminated the parasitic drain. Uconnect 5 Software Defects: Independent of the physical liftgate issue, the Uconnect 5 infotainment system (currently running software build U29.42, referencing TSB 08-230-24) exhibits significant software bugs and display stability issues. The primary central screen frequently flickers, displays line artifacts, freezes, and repeatedly drops wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity. Additionally, when shifting the vehicle into reverse, the rear backup camera feed fails to load, displaying only a blank black screen instead of the camera view. This disables primary vehicle setting controls, navigation interfaces, and rearward safety visibility while operating the vehicle.

SEATS 1 injured 2026-08-03 · NHTSA 11754499

The right second row passenger seat in a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer appeared to be pushed fully rearward into its normal seating position and produced an audible/tactile click. No warning lamp or message indicated that the seat was not latched. While traveling approximately 40 to 45 mph, the driver had to brake hard. During braking, the entire right second row seat moved rapidly forward and pinned a child and the child restraint against the front passenger seat. The child struck the side of her head, was evaluated in an emergency department, and was diagnosed with a mild concussion. After the vehicle stopped, the seat was pushed rearward only to free the child. It then latched and is currently available for inspection. The seat has not been tested or operated since. The exact cause is UNKNOWN. Possible causes include incomplete latch engagement, a latch or actuator malfunction, or a failure of the seat position warning system. The vehicle has a prior documented warranty repair involving the opposite second row seat. In October 2024, that seat’s motor could be heard operating but the seat would not release. The dealer diagnosed a weak release motor and replaced two folding seat motor actuators under warranty. The current failure has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer. The vehicle and seat have not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurer, or an independent repair facility. Photographs, hospital records, and the prior warranty repair record are available. A case has been opened with Stellantis.

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE 2026-08-03 · NHTSA 11754467

I own a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer with the 5.7L HEMI eTorque system. The vehicle has lost all power while being driven on two separate occasions. The first occurred on October 22, 2025, on a major interstate. The second occurred on January 30, 2026, on a state highway. In both cases the engine shut off without warning while the vehicle was in motion, with my wife and four children aboard. Power steering and braking assist were lost. The vehicle locked into Park, and I could not get power to shift into neutral or restart it. The January 30 incident required towing. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic, who was unable to replicate the problem. Since the second failure, I have observed that system voltage drops rapidly during normal driving on nearly every trip. To avoid another shutdown in traffic, I now monitor voltage and pull over to shut the engine off and restart it once it reaches 12.4V. This takes several efforts each trip to pull over and restart the system. It has produced anxiety in my family about the safety of this vehicle. This is a full-size SUV losing power in highway traffic without warning. It endangers my family and every driver around us. I am aware of ODI Preliminary Evaluation PE24018 covering this vehicle and system, and I am submitting this so my incidents are part of that record.

STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES,BACK OVER PREVENTION 2026-07-23 · NHTSA 11752359

Due to braking system electronic failure vehicle automatically disables safety features such as ABS, parking collision sensors disabled, traction control, and vehicle will automatically and abruptly go into P (park) when coming to a stop while braking. This can be caused by wheel speed sensors, brake control module, or communication failure to PCM. Engine codes U0418, U0415, and U1003 linked to problem. This is a big safety hazard where vehicle damage or injury/death can occur to occupants of the vehicle. Safety features should never become disabled in a vehicle while in operation.

While driving my 2022 Jeep Wagoneer at 40-45 mph on a live public road with my four small children in the vehicle, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic electronic and powertrain shutdown without warning. The engine completely died, and the vehicle immediately and forcefully engaged the electronic emergency parking brake, bringing the vehicle to an abrupt, unexpected halt in the middle of moving traffic.Once stopped, the vehicle completely refused to crank or restart. The electronic shifter and braking system effectively locked the vehicle in place, leaving me and my four young children dangerously stranded inside a dead vehicle in the middle of a live lane, creating an immediate, life-threatening collision hazard from oncoming traffic. The vehicle had to be physically towed away from the scene to a dealership, where it currently sits awaiting diagnosis.This vehicle has a documented history of prior electronic and dashboard glitches that the manufacturer has failed to permanently resolve under warranty. The sudden loss of propulsion combined with autonomous, unwanted emergency brake activation while in motion represents a severe, un-remedied safety defect that put the lives of my entire family at immediate risk.

While driving my car engine just shuts off without any warning. My car had a message on the dash after the engine stopped saying to shift the car to park and the emergency parking brake came on. I had to switch my four ways on in the middle of the road. If this happened on a busier street my vehicle would have been hit because I could not drive my car to the side of the road. It was just a dead stop without any notice there was a problem. No dash lights before the engine stopped or anything. Just messages stating to put the car in park after the problem. I have two little girls who are regularly in my vehicle with me and it is scary to think that my Wagoneer engine can just decide to shut off at anytime with no warning.

The vehicle experienced a charging system failure while driving. The battery warning light illuminated and battery voltage dropped to approximately 11.7 volts while the engine was running. The vehicle continued to discharge the battery while being driven, creating a risk of loss of electrical power and possible vehicle shutdown. Diagnostic trouble codes included P0562 (System Voltage Low), P0BDE (Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor E Circuit High), and P0AEE (Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance). The charging system was inspected by an independent repair facility. The serpentine belt was verified to be functioning properly and related fuses were checked. The repair facility diagnosed a failure of the 48-volt eTorque Belt Starter Generator (Motor Generator Unit/MGU). The replacement part is reportedly on backorder. The condition is repeatable and occurs during normal driving. The battery warning lamp and low voltage condition were observed and documented. This failure creates a potential safety concern because the vehicle can lose charging capability while operating on public roads.

While my wife was operating our 2022 Jeep Wagoneer Series III (5.7L HEMI eTorque, ~44,700 miles) at highway speed, the vehicle suffered a sudden and complete electrical power failure. Electric power steering cut out completely while the vehicle was in motion, creating an immediate safety hazard and nearly causing an accident. The vehicle was disabled and required towing. The dealership (Safford Jeep) diagnosed fault code P0B32: catastrophic internal hardware and voltage failure of the 48-volt eTorque Hybrid Battery Pack. The 12-volt battery was also destroyed as a consequence of the 48V pack failure — the 12V charges exclusively via a DC-to-DC converter fed by the 48V loop; when the pack failed, the converter lost power and the 12V battery was starved of charge. NOTE: This incident is consistent with the active NHTSA ODI preliminary evaluation of 2022 Jeep Wagoneer and Ram 1500 eTorque electrical failures. FCA/Stellantis has acknowledged these failures are likely caused by an electrical concern. My P0B32 event represents a catastrophic failure of the exact system under investigation, with the additional safety consequence of complete loss of power steering at highway speed. Stellantis Corporate Case #96719164 is open. The vehicle has been repaired (48V battery pack replaced) but Stellantis has declined to address the warranty access barrier created by their diagnostic system architecture. The dealer's equipment required a new 12-volt battery installation before it could communicate with the covered hybrid system — a $645 mandatory prerequisite to accessing a Federal Emissions Warranty repair.

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 begins to wobble very violently when going over 65. This has been ongoing for a while now and when I took it to the Jeep dealership they said it was just my tires. The problem is worse now and I feel unsafe driving my vehicle. I also was never called back for my recalls to be taken care of.

I was driving northbound on US 31 near Peru, IN. I stopped at a red light and my car auto shut off initiated. However when the light turned green, I beganto drive again and the car died/stalled on the highway. The emergency parking break engaged. Oncoming traffic, who saw a green light were not slowing down and I was afraid I would be rear ended while my car was stalled at a previously red, but now green light. It took multiple attempts in quick succession but I was able to restart the vehicle and continue. I was afraid myself and my kids would be HIT and killed. Subsequently my car had had battery issues. Randomly the battery had drained or car will not unlock using key fob.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE 2026-03-07 · NHTSA 11722675

My jeep will randomly not let me back up as it thinks there is something behind it and automatically apply the emergency brake. I brought it to dealership when it was still under warranty for this issue and they could not figure it out. My jeep will randomly stop as it’s driving, it will still rev when I push the pedal but it will not move in reverse or drive. The automatic shut off says it needs to be serviced and does not work. The automatic emergency braking comes on randomly if I stop. I constantly get alerts that my blind spots are blocked. I’ve cleaned sensors as the dealership has recommended which doesn’t make a difference. My lift gate will only work intermittently. Sometimes it shuts on my kids. My screen only works sometimes. Which is dangerous when I don’t have access to back up camera. I currently owe $31,000 still on this vehicle and I have 5 kids. I really need this vehicle fixed as I cannot afford to get rid of it. It has been unreliable since I’ve owned it and I’m really disappointed in this Wagoneer. It’s very expensive to insure and it’s had nothing but issues. The tow bills are becoming expensive as well.
