Complaint - The wiring harness in my engine compartment is mounted on the firewall below the cowl. It runs from the driver's side to the passenger side. On my vehicle, it has a significant drop on the driver's side, almost hitting the master brake cylinder cover. The wiring harness does move significantly on the driver's side. Note-Some kinds of clips are molded onto the wire harness cover. Upon inspection of the wiring harness and cover, there is nothing that I and Service Director could find to attach the wiring harness to the firewall to keep it permanently up and away from the driver-side master cylinder brakes. Notes - My vehicle is available to you for inspection if warranted. -Dealership Service Mgr Director and Wagoneer customer service were notified and were inspected. I/we also confirmed and noted that other identical vehicles have the same problem. …
Vehicle has a malfunctioning climate control system due to electrical / software issues. When the climate control a/c is set to manual mode it will have a "ghost" control which will randomly change settings, it changes the set temperature - recirculating mode - a/c on and off - fan speed - fan direction (windshield, face, feet) - and will also apply to the rear passenger control unit. The main and lower front climate control screens will act "crazy" when this "ghost/glitch". is happening and randomly change settings, the driver cannot override it when it is happening until the vehicle is shut off. …
This vehicle has alignment issues causing vibration at higher speeds and excessive tire wear. After multiple alignments and tire balances, nothing has resolved the issues. Dealers are not doing anything about issues. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Our 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer has wheel alignment issues. We are going to our third set of tires in 56,000 miles. Vehicle has excessive vibration traveling over 75 mph after tires have been balanced. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When tires have excessive wear, they do not grip the road safely and an increased danger in wet weather. Vibration at higher speeds can cause loss of control. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? …
Our car is now having two issues: 1. The first issue is extremely scary, but we found a temporary work around so have been dealing with it for months as we needed are car. If the auto stop/start is not turned off (which has to happen ever time the car is started), the car essentially puts on an emergency break and shuts down the car at the first for second stop. This happened in the middle of a busy intersection the first time and happened numerous other times including while I was on the phone with the Jeep dealership. It is extremely dangerous as you can be stuck at a stop light in the middle of the road and the car has to be turned off and turned back on. We drive on [redacted] in michigan daily for work and it is a 55mph road with dozens of stop lights making this a huge safety hazard. I have seen numerous other people on a Jeep Wagoneer facebook page with the same issue. 2. …
Subject: Safety Complaint - 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer - Multiple Safety-Critical Failures and Warranty Concerns. I am the owner of a 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (purchase price $114,000 USD), well maintained and currently with 41,000 miles. Despite careful use, it has developed multiple recurring electrical and mechanical failures that present serious safety risks: Parking and side sensors fail, making obstacle and blind-spot detection unreliable. Rear-view camera often shows a solid blue screen in reverse, leaving no rear visibility. Main display flickers, freezes, or shuts off; infotainment reboots while driving, disabling controls. Entire electronic system resets mid-drive, affecting safety features. Power liftgate fails to open. Air suspension changes height on its own, affecting handling and stability. …
I am filing this complaint because my Grand Wagoneer has experienced repeated, serious safety-related failures involving the braking system, electrical/communication systems, and vehicle shutdown. I no longer believe this vehicle is safe to operate. The most serious problem has occurred more than once. On July 21, 2026, while driving, the brakes failed. The brake pedal went to the floor and the vehicle would not stop normally. Multiple warning lights/messages appeared. I ultimately had to shift the vehicle into Park to prevent a collision. The vehicle was taken to the Jeep dealership and remained there for an extended period while the problem was investigated. The dealership reported that it could not identify stored diagnostic codes explaining the brake failure. I was told that the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced before the matter could be escalated further. …
Travelling with my young daughter on the Freeway at Freeway speeds at 9pm (nighttime). The entire vehicle just shut down. EVERYTHING - completely dark. Steering went out. Brakes went out. I had to get the car to basically drift to a shoulder and slow down gradually in a spot where we would be safely out of the way of traffic. Again no brakes or steering and completely dead. Hazzard lights would not work. I had to get the car towed and get my daughter and all of our stuff out of the car on the freeway at night in the complete dark. Scary stuff. It's an expensive car and 2022 is the first model year of the Grand Wagoneer. I suspect based on my experience with this car that this model year will have these types of problems going forward. The car has had electrical issues from day 1 and its unsurprising this happened. …
