I am reporting a serious recurring safety issue with my 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition, leased new in July 2025. Over approximately 15 months, I have experienced at least 5–6 incidents of severely reduced acceleration while stopped at traffic lights, intersections, or in heavy traffic. When attempting to move forward, the vehicle barely responds to the accelerator. Even with substantial pressure on the pedal, it moves only at an extremely slow crawl, making it impossible to accelerate normally or safely keep up with traffic. Every incident has been accompanied by the dashboard message…
The AEB sensor came on malfunctioned. The safety of others is if it doesn’t stop breaking could cause a collision. The vehicle has been in the shop since August 20 and still not fixed. The component has just been inspected or in the process of being inspected by a star technician so I was told from Selantis today. there’s been problems with the battery with the front sensor not functioning properly.
The dash piece closest to the windshield is plastic and is very reflective, so it creates a reflection on the front windshield wiper of grid lines, causing obstructions in the visibility out the front windshield
This vehicle has experienced the same or substantially similar serious safety-related malfunction on three separate occasions. The vehicle becomes unable to engage gear or move and also will not shut down normally. The first incident occurred in XXX in a parking garage in [XXX]. The vehicle powered on but would not engage gear or move and would not shut down. Operation was eventually restored following an electrical reset involving the 12-volt battery. The second incident occurred on XXX, while the vehicle was in my driveway. The vehicle again would not properly engage gear or move and would…
When the vehicle is turned on, going into reverse the radio freezes. At which point you loose the HMI unit, camera and rear parking sensors. Reported multiple times to Jeep, who has failed to repair this issue.
Exiting interstate 10 at exit 31 in Mississippi on July 31 at 815 am eastbound, Braking did not stop the car and it went straight thru the interection and was a near miss collision with a southbound vehicle at the end of the exit ramp. Car enteted the intersection, as brakes totally failed
Since July 2025, this vehicle has suffered from severe, recurring electronic and software glitches that critically affect driveability and safe operation. While driving, multiple critical warnings display on the instrument cluster indicating that the airbags are inoperable. Following or during these warnings, the vehicle experiences sudden power/system disruptions, after which the windshield wipers activate automatically on their own, and the turn signals completely stop working. These compounding electrical faults pose a severe safety hazard. Despite manufacturer software recalls issued for…
The vehicle is unsafe; it freezes while driving leaving one unable to navigate in any way. Everything ceases at once - nothing works, you can't put it into P/D/R/N, it won't accellerate or turn off. It just freezes, won't drive, won't turn off, completely locks up either while parked (the safer version) or while driving (completely unsafe, imagine being in a moving vehicle with no control at all?). Please don't ignore this - look at social media where hundreds, if not thousands of people are reporting the same exact event. It has happened to me alone 3x. Jeep claims they have no fix for it yet…
I leased a new 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S (electric) on 11/10/2025. Since taking delivery, the vehicle has repeatedly and unpredictably disabled critical driver-assistance and safety systems while in motion, and has on multiple occasions warned that it would shut down while driving. Specific safety-related incidents: On multiple occasions, the vehicle's forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and Auto Hold have all intermittently and simultaneously disabled themselves while driving, with no warning and no ability to re-enable them except by fully powering the vehicle off and…
When driving the vehicle the on board screen randomly shuts down and restarts while in motion. During this process it changes all of the driving settings and turns off the automatic braking, and the vehicle accelerates with out touching the accelerator. This has happened numerous times and it has been to the dealership 4 times with out any changes.
Vehicle would not go into gear when turned on. Vehicle would not turn off when attempted to turn off. Could not even open doors when attempting to get back in vehicle. I received notices to service the following: blind spot alert, electronic stability control, transmission, autopark, electric vehicle system. I received a notification that the vehicle was going 317 miles per hour. It is now in the shop for the 3rd time in 10 months for the same issues. This vehicle needs to be recalled as it is a hazard to the general public.
This vehicle has experienced three separate safety failures within only a few months of ownership. Incident 1: While driving with my children in the vehicle, the battery warning light illuminated and the vehicle immediately entered a low-power “turtle mode,” rapidly losing speed in traffic. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. Incident 2: While traveling approximately 60 mph, the hood latch failed and the vehicle immediately decelerated to approximately 20 mph, creating a dangerous situation in traffic. The vehicle again had to be towed. Incident 3: While pulling into my driveway…
