2022 JEEP WAGONEER Electrical System Problems

The lithium battery failed causing a complete loss of power, power steering, power brakes while driving with 3 small children on board. Battery indicator warning on dash. The dealer expressly stated that the car was safe to drive. Obviously that was incorrect. Thank goodness we were able to safely stop and be towed to the dealer. I escalated to "Jeep Cares" Case number Jeep Wagg Case 95595257and going on 4 weeks and no one can tell me when the battery will be available and that this battery will only last 3 years. If Jeep has no inventory then that is a red flag and the consequences of this failure puts lives at risk

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle stalled, and smoke was coming from under the hood. The contact stated that the smoke had also entered the passenger cabin. The contact stated that her husband had not mentioned whether any warnings had illuminated. The contact stated that when she arrived to pick him up, the fire was extinguished. The fire damage was confined to the engine compartment. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but it was not a manufacturer dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the generator and the start/stop battery had caught fire and needed to be replaced. The contact was advised that the battery was on national back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that she had searched online and associated the failure with an active...

My 2022 Wagoneer has stalled out 3 times at intersections as a result of the automatic start/stop. This is extremely dangerous! I have been stranded in the intersection 2 out of the 3 times until I was able to turn off/on the vehicle and trouble shoot it.

Vehicle shut-off while driving. Electrical failure due to voltage issue with hybrid (eTorque) system. Los off power while driving vehicle on roadway with potential loss of control. Vehicle taken to dealership and diagnosed with failure of hybrid battery. During my ownership of the vehicle I've had to replace the primary battery 3 times due to ongoing electrical problems with this engine.

While approaching a stop sign at a speed of less than 10mph with my wife and three small children in the car, the engine shut off and the steering/braking became degraded. I was able to restart the car after stopping, but the auto start / etorque does not appear to be working any more. I will be dropping the car off for diagnostics, but after some research this appears to be a common issue which is already under investigation.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal to stop at a stop light, the vehicle lost power and decelerated unintendedly. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. During the failure, the contact's teenage daughter was seated on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the battery was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but the contact was still waiting for a call back from the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.

On two separate occasions within 2 months of each other, the low battery/voltage warning appeared and shortly thereafter, every warning light in the dash came on and various messages appeared on screen stating that there were power/electrical issues. The car then shut down and died while in motion. Extremely dangerous as in the first instance, the vehicle was in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire (on a main road, Rt. 16), with no cell reception, cold weather, and at night, leaving us stranded. The second occasion happened on a busy highway with my wife and young daughter in the car. We were able to get off the highway when the warning lights came on; however, the car died in Downtown Boston, at night, in the winter (December). the first time this happened, the car was towed, a "software update" was done, and we were back on the road. then...

Rearview and 360-degree surround camera intermittently fails or displays a blank/no image when reverse is selected. Failure behavior matches NHTSA recalls 23V-577 and 24V-436 for the same model, but this VIN is excluded from the recall population. Issue affects rear visibility and compliance with FMVSS 111. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified.

I was driving through the parking lot at my daughter’s school, and the vehicle shut off entirely when going at slow speeds. The vehicle lost all power steering, and braking was more difficult. Stopped safely, and the vehicle wouldn’t restart. Dealership confirmed it was a failure of the 48v battery system.

On 2/11/2025 while at a stop light the vehicle stalled and I had to restart the vehicle when the light turned green. An hour later it happened again. At that point my husband and I took my Wagoneer to the dealership. They determined the vehicle needed a new battery. Then on 2/13/2025 I went to my vehicle in the garage and it had "bricked out". I could not start it at all. I had to have a tow truck bring the vehicle back to the dealership and they again replaced the battery. On 11/26/2025 again while at a stop light the vehicle stalled and I had to restart the vehicle when the light turned green. A little while later on the same day I was at a stop light and I felt the vehicle start to stall, but the light turned green so I stepped firmly on the gas and...

Hi, I need to bring my 2022 Wagoneer back in for service. I was just in the shop a few days ago for a persistent check engine light, and the issue has returned. The check engine light came back on four days after I picked up the vehicle. This morning the vehicle stalled twice at a complete stop. The front headlights flickered and the engine shut off, but the electronics inside stayed on. I had to press the Start button to restart the engine. I also received a “Start/Stop Unavailable” message. Because this is now a repeat failure, combined with a safety-related stall, I need the vehicle fully rechecked for: ESS/Start-Stop system malfunction Auxiliary battery condition Battery current sensor BMS/charging system PCM software updates Any TSBs related to stalling or ESS on the 2022 Wagoneer Please document this as a repeat repair attempt, and if needed, I would like this...

I was driving down the road at 35 MPH when the Service Electric Power Steering (EPS) Message On Instrument Cluster came on. Then when I stopped the brakes were hard to deploy. I tried to reset it by turning it off and on. I had just replaced the backup batter several months back so i don't think that is it. i called the Dealership and told them I talked to Stellantis and they gave me the star online publication case number S2523000053 Rev A. on how to fix it. They said it would be several days and i would need to have it towed on my own. This a systemic problem with these vehicles I have had to pay for a recall because they said it didn't to apply to a Canadian vehicle even though it was made in Detroit. I bought it with a few thousand miles on it...

On September 4th, 2025, my wife and I purchased a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer Series II bearing VIN number [XXX] being sold by Carvana. On September 23rd, 2025, the Jeep Wagoneer was delivered to our residence by Carvana. The Carvana employees unloaded the Jeep Wagoneer from their tow truck and then parked the Wagoneer in our driveway. After the Carvana employees departed with our Ford Explorer, my wife and I decided to take the Wagoneer for a drive. We loaded our three children into the vehicle and my wife drove, while I remained in the front passenger seat. We traveled approximately one block away from our residence when we came to a stop at a stop sign and the Wagoneer turned off its ignition on its own and put itself into park. We were on a slight incline and the vehicle began to roll backwards under no power, but due to...

I was stopped at a red light, stacked about 10 cars deep.  Once the light turned green, I pressed the gas pedal, but the auto start-stop feature malfunctioned and turned the car completely off.  I then pressed the button to reactivate the ignition, and pressed the gas pedal again.  After moving forward a few car lengths (or more), the computer engaged the emergency brake and clamped down on the wheels. I was then rear-ended at about 15-20mph.

I have had nothing but issues with the electrical part of this Wagoneer. For months the BLIND SPOT ALERT system has flashed on for no reason. And then it sets an entire host of sensors off that beep continuously on and off while driving down the road. My car has been with the dealership for going on 4 weeks with no fix.

On August 22nd, 2025 my family and I were traveling in my Wagoneer down [XXX] , through the Bighorn National Forest. A dash notification stated that the cars start / stop system may no longer work and needed to be serviced. 5-10 minutes later, a battery light came on the dashboard. we carefully drove out of the mountains into the nearest town: Buffalo, WY. We pulled into an auto store. the employee there informed us the alternator was bad. There are no alternators available in the United States for a 2022 Wagoneer. I have been informed by the Jeep dealer that current backorder date to obtain one is 168 days. My family was stuck on the side of the road for 5 hours before we could get a taxi to a rental car place. When exiting the Bighorn National Forest, there are 5 warning zones that state there are upcoming...

The vehicle indicated to stop and pull over when attempting to start it in the garage, it was not moving. It made a terrible grinding noise. Towed to the dealer with a failed battery and need to replace the Motor Generator Unit (MGU), part of its eTorque mild-hybrid system. The part is on back order for more than 45 days as there are more than 282 failures reported. This is a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer that the dealership is saying is out of warranty and will charge me $4,000 to fix.

Vehicle: 2022 Jeep Wagoneer (25,000 miles, VIN: [XXX] ) Issue: Engine stalls at low speed – occurred three times approaching stoplights. Safety hazard as it could cause a crash. Dates: Vehicle dropped off at Folsom Lake CDJR on Aug 8, 2025. Problem discussed with service advisor Aug 9, 2025. No repairs performed due to dispute over diagnostic charges. Notes: This vehicle matches the description of ongoing NHTSA investigation into 2022 Wagoneer eTorque stalling. Request inclusion in investigation data.

The main head unit for the infotainment system, specifically the software. Upon failing a software update in August 2024, the vehicle started switching itself from English to Italian, from Standard to Metric units, the high beams would no longer function, the auto locking doors after 15mph would no longer work, the emergency pedestrian sensing braking was turned off, the entire infotainment screen randomly shuts off and comes back on as well. Without readily available high beams my ability to see further distances at night was diminished. 2)The uninitiated change in language and units of measure made it more difficult to verify vehicle speed and other important settings with intervention to return the system to English. 3) Largest concern, auto locks not turning on, without notifying the driver, left my young children at risk of opening the back doors and falling out of the vehicle at high speeds. The dealership has...

For the third summer in a row, this vehicle has had a "hybrid/battery/engine" issue which has caused the vehicle to stop in the middle of traffic, specifically at start/stop intersections during high traffic times - the first time was on a vacation road trip about 600 miles away from home, the second time was in town while we had our three kids in the vehicle, and this most recent time thankfully I was alone driving home from work in rush hour. The vehicle shuts off, battery and check engine lights are illuminated and the vehicle must be stopped, restarted, and turned back on in order to move away from the middle of traffic. This is the third incident of this happening with Jeep warranty covering the first two repairs due to it being the hybrid/battery system. I am now waiting for two weeks before the dealer can even diagnoze the...

For the last six months (since Dec. 2024) my jeep has randomly stalled out at traffic lights or won’t restart immediately after having just driven it. Sometimes when it stalls out while driving into a traffic light it will restart without a jump but then the check engine light is on for a few drives then eventually turns off. This happens once or twice a month and typically requires a jump to get the car started. I have had the battery, alternator and started checked multiple times. A jeep dealership has reviewed and could find no issues with the car. The safety issue is being stalled out at a light or anywhere on the road randomly puts myself, my passengers and other drivers at risk

While driving at lows speeds approaching a stop light the vehicle will just shut off and shift into park. I have to hit the brakes, make sure its in park, and hit the start button, it restarts then doesn't do it until randomly later it does it again. There is a check engine light on.

We were driving and approaching a stop light at a major intersection when the vehicle stalled out. We heard it sputter at first and then cut off. We tried multiple times to restart, but to no avail—just kept sputtering. This is the second time this has happened. The first time was also reported to NHTSA, and I was driving alone and ascending a Colorado mountain when it stalled out. Thankfully, both times, we were able to remain safe; however, this is a huge problem as both times we were on major roads.

in December 2024 i received a check engine light with a locked code that disappeared after a short distance. The vehicle would not auto start from the key and we thought it was a battery .In February 2025 while on a trip i received a warning light for power steering fluid we went to a parts store and topped up the power steering fluid .on [XXX] i was driving the vehicle at 55mph while i had my [XXX] and [XXX] in the car as well as heavily pregnant along with my [XXX] grandmother . i pulled away from a traffic light and the dash board lights lit up completely check engine, stability, abs, emergency brake ,traction ,crash detection . I went to use the brakes and to change lanes and while doing so i lost brakes and power steering causing me to have to use a grass verge to bring...

2022 Jeep Wagoneer 5.7 Etorque On [XXX] at approximately [XXX], The Jeep Wagoneer was traveling northbound on [XXX] at an estimated speed of 45 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled and lost power. The vehicle came to a complete stop, and the emergency brakes were activated. Despite multiple attempts, the vehicle would not restart, and the instrument panel was intermittently turning off. As a result, the vehicle became inoperable, causing a road hazard and impeding traffic. Officer McKinnon (#334) from the Merced Police Department (Incident #[XXX]) was dispatched to the scene to assist with traffic control and manage the situation. The vehicle was later towed to my residence and subsequently serviced at Razzari Jeep in Merced, CA. The vehicle had 100 mile of fuel remaining in the gas tank. The vehicle had no prior issues and was operated earlier in the day. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT...

vehicle will randomly lose all throttle power when driving and at the same time following a warning beep will flash a large red lightning bolt with the following messages: service electronic throttle control,stop/start unavailable service stop/start system, service electronic stability control and check engine light. Engine continues to run but car will not move. Once vehicle is able to be pulled over to the side of the road and turned off then cranked back up the vehicle will drive normally. Check engine light will stay on for several key cycles then it will eventually go away. This has happened at intersections and at speed on the interstate. Repair of this issue with the vehicle has been attempted 4 times and is currently at the dealership now for the 5th time and the diagnosis is that they can replace the throttle module but there are not codes pointing to that as...

We bought the vehicle new in 2022. There have been intermittent issues with emergency braking while going in reverse that we wrote off to sensor issues and never reported. Last weekend the Electrical system went haywire. Lots of flashing lights, sounds under the dash, etc. Engine quit and would not start. Was able to get to the dealership after changing the battery. Battery warning light and check engine light never cleared. Dealership is saying it is the 48v battery issue so I wanted to report it.

Dec 17, 2024 2022 Wagoneer was dropped of for service for a slight rattle in the engine. It was determined that the cams and shifters were “over-torqued” and had thrown metal shavings into the engine. This would require a full engine replacement which was conducted over the course of nearly 4 months. This is a reported and known issue/defect for Wagoneer. It was picked up March 28, 2025. On April 11, 2025 I experienced a full mechanical and/or electrical catastrophic failure while driving. The vehicle would not accelerate or brake. Multiple warnings and failures lit up the dash: service engine, oil pressure, throttle, etc. The emergency brake engaged, the engine very loudly shook, rattled and died. When trying to engage brake to put vehicle in neutral to be towed we heard a series of clicks and a pop and the engine began to smoke near drivers side. Stellantis refuses to...

Driving vehicle home on main highway at 55MPH, had been driving for about 15 miles. vehicle completely shut down. Engine shut off, power steering failed, lights shut off, everything electric shut down. was unable to steer the vehicle to the shoulder and it rolled to a stop in the middle of the 2 lane road in the dark. once it stopped it locked into park and couldnt be pushed off the road. Hazard lights would not work either car was completely blacked out in the middle of the road, and would not restart. Car behind us saw us in time and stopped and turned on their hazard lights till the fire department arrived to flag traffic. towed vehicle to dealership. at dealership the next day the vehicle started like nothing was wrong, showed no codes. Dealership kept vehicle for 10 days and couldnt get the vehicle to duplicate the incident....

We issued a complaint on 12/2/2024 (#11628353). The dealership found our alternator to be faulty which caused the battery to fail the SUV to completely shut down. This happened again to us on 4/6/2025 with a full vehicle of passengers. The low battery warning appeared on the screen, we lost power steering, we lost our ability to brake, there is no emergency break when all systems are shutting down and then we lost all power to the vehicle. This all happened in a matter of 2 minutes. Thank god we were on a side road without any cars parked on the side of the road for us to pull over on. Stellantis needs to resolve these safety issues. We had elderly people with us during this last incedent, they were all scared. It is getting dangerous owning and operating a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer.

on 2 occasions, the car has shut down at a stop and killed the engine. Car had to be placed in park and restarted. Most recently, the car suddenly shut off while moving. The control panel flashed low battery and shut down systems. It disabled the power steering and shut down all power including the engine, thankfully this didn't cause an accident, but would have been a very dangerous situation if traveling at higher speed . Car couldn't be restarted, when trying to it would shift itself from drive to park and die again. After about 30 minutes, the car started when jumped. All gauges read correctly and didn't indicate any low battery issues. When in for service approximately 2 weeks ago, dying at a stop was discussed with the dealer and they said they weren't aware of any issues and would need to keep the car for potentially weeks...

The vehicle wouldn't start once i started it the start stop light warning lamp illuminated. When i got to the redlight it stopped and shut off. I had the battery checked and it was ok but the auxilary battery was drained. I had the software updated a couple months back on a recall. It has a TSB u0485-00 that may be the problem. Stellantis has several star online pubs about it. They say since it had 36600 miles and was in Canada first for 10000 miles they won't fix it the cost is mine unless there is a recall. They said they has been hundreds of people with the problem but not enough for the recall.

While sitting at a stop light my vehicle started malfunctioning and put itself into park. Several different warnings came across the screen and I was unable to change gears or start my car for a while. Finally my car allowed me to push the break and restart the vehicle. A warning light came on with an “A!” But then was no longer on the screen once I turned my vehicle off and back on.

While driving vehicle. Vehicle shut off and completely was drained of all power in the middle of the road

Vehicle purchased on September 7, 2022, with 16,182 miles. It was sold to me with an open recall. Late December 2023, I complained about car not starting on a frequent basis. Roadside assistance was called to jumpstart battery. Every time the vehicle was jumpstarted the check engine light remained on for days to up to two weeks. January 5, 2023, vehicle went to repair shop, techs claimed nothing was wrong, vehicle returned to repair shop 5x within a 4-to-5-month period for the repair shop to decide it needed a new auxiliary battery. Unfortunately, the fix was temporary as it began to fail again and now leaving me on the road stuck. I drive, I stop at a stop sign or red light, or intersection as I move to turn, car shut off. Almost causing several accidents. I was on the highway when my GPS started glitching and shut off, turn...

While driving the battery light ignited, the cars battery quickly started to decline was able to pull over when car entirely shut down after all dash lights cycled through. Replaced two BPM components and new batteries and still can not diagnose or find the problem

Over the air date on my vehicle. It has disabled the high beams, front collision won't turn on, Am radio won't work

We were bringing our 2022 wagoneer to the dealership to have them investigate an issue with the battery light coming on this morning. While driving on interstate 95 north, all power cut out on the car, the power steering stopped working and the brakes failed. My husband had to navigate across 4 lanes of traffice with now power or brakes or steering to get to the shoulder. The car was towed to our dealership, and they indicated our alternator died and battery died. There were no check engine lights indicating we had an alternator issue or that we should not drive the car in for service. We talked to the service department about the batter light the morning of 12/2/2024 and they had us drive it in. This needs to be looked at as it was a very dangerous situation to navigate on the interstate.

I was driving on the highway when suddenly, my car started acting up. The lights on the dashboard started flashing one by one, from the check engine light to the battery light, and then everything went black. The infotainment system also went out, and I couldn’t control the car anymore. I was going at 65 miles per hour, and I had no steering or brakes. I did some research and found out that this is a very common problem with this vehicle. It’s a serious safety hazard for my family and me. I would really appreciate it if Jeep could look into this issue and do a full recall until it’s fixed. If they don’t, someone could get hurt or even die.

Vehicle was being driven when all lights came on the dash and vehicle stopped running and came to a stop. Vehicle than engaged the emergency brake by itself. After shutting off the ignition, i was not able to turn the vehicle back on. Vehicle has 38460 miles. I had to have the vehicle towed directly to the dealership, Marino Jeep in Chicago,Il. The dealer came back two days later and stated the battery and ibs sensor required replacement. They could not tell why it stopped running and locked up. This vehicle is currently not safe as there is no guarantee it will not happen again.

Previously filed complaint #11586511, which was fixed after a 3 week wait on how to fix the problem. 11/4/2024 the problem has recurred. I think they did a factory reset the last time, because I had to reprogram all my settings and there were no parts shown being replaced on the repair sheet.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the power steering and brakes had failed to operate as needed. The contact was able to coast to a stop. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle and had the vehicle towed to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.

This is the second time this issue has happened. 1st time it happened about 1 year ago and jeep replaced some parts in relation to the ECM and etorque system. The issue happened today once again. Our jeep wagoner will just stall out our sputter in a manor to almost stall. Today it happened in the middle of an intersection while the wife was driving our 2 children home. Will have to take it in again, although it is now out of warranty by 4,000 miles. I am curious to hear what they have to say. Components have been replaced in the past regarding this issue by local Jeep dealer. The battery light came on and the check engine light came on. After a stop and restart only the check engine light is lit.

Vehicle was in motion the battery indicator and service engine light displayed. Additional warnings for other components (e.g. lane assist, brakes, battery power saver etc.) displayed, stopped at an intersection, applied acceleration and vehicle shut off, put itself into park, became disabled and would not restart. No power to restart or to power road hazard flashers. Complete shutdown of vehicle. Vehicle neutral override was finally discovered to get it moved to a safe location off the roadway and prior to having it towed to dealership for further investigation into cause.

Vehicle lost brakes for the second time while driving and also lost power steering. Vehicle was serviced at dealership after first incident and was supposedly fixed by replacing the battery. It was obviously not fixed since it happened again 12 days later. Both times the vehicle randomly, and with no warning, lost braking ability and power steering.

I was driving 35mph and my breaks and steering were not working. The car started to rattle and in order to stop the car I had to start pumping on the breaks as hard as I could and have it slow down but I had no steering control. I was luckily close to my house without turns so pulled over to my driveway by pumping the breaks and screaming for a neighbor to help me not hit other cars on the road. the week prior I had brought my car in for a recall for the electric side board that comes down when the doors are open to step into the car. It was a recall then they said I already had that looked at when I brought it in last year for recalls and so this time I would have to pay 1400 for the motor and I was...

Concerns: Electrical is slow to respond the screen. The turn knob is a HUGE safety concern. The turn know sometime doesn’t not click or stay in park. The vehicle will lunge. The knob is easy hot accidentally hit and move out of the gear causing the auto brake to jerk the car to a stop. The getting the brake release to get car back in gear is slow to unlock. Sometimes I have to turn the car completely off. Turn it back on then do the break release and start all over. The auto break has actually stopped in the middle of the road for no reason and I’m lucky. I just didn’t get hit from behind and I had nothing to do with the turn knob. The auto stop is very sensitive. I turn it off almost 100% of the time like when you’re at a stop sign because...

This has happened on my vehicle twice, the first time I was stopping at a stop sign and the car gave a message about putting car in park and restarting, it put itself into park before I saw the message and so when I went to accelerate it just revved the engine. I had to push the on/off button to restart vehicle and it went. Same thing happened again about a month later (last week) this time I was pulling into our school’s drive to drop off kids but before I got to the drop off area it dinged, giving a message to put car in park and restart since I was getting ready to stop I was going to wait but almost as soon as I looked back up from reading the screen it slammed into park and same thing I had to push my on/off button to restart...

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the camera and navigation screen went blank. The message “Uconnect need service take to authorize dealer” was displayed. The contact stated that the GPS continued to reboot. The fan underneath the seat was making an abnormal noise. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was determined that a software update was needed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Hollywood Chrysler Jeep (2100 N State Rd. 7, Hollywood, FL 33021); where it was diagnosed and determined that the infotainment screen needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted and served with lemon law documents, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

While driving the vehicle's braking system completely failed. During the failure multiple warning lamps came on to include ABS, Brake, and engine. The messaging system indicated brake service needed. The failure caused the entire braking system to "shut down" and a complete loss of braking ability. The brake system consistently went from no brakes to complete brake lock up. A later diagnostic via the OBD system indicated a communication failure between ECU/computer systems. No other symptoms were present prior to the failure. The vehicle is currently being inspected by the dealership.
