“I was driving and the car started making a weird noise. It then started to slow, the temperature went to red and the car started beeping. It kept going slow and then just stopped in the middle of the road. I could not move and was almost hit by multiple cars.”

“My 2024 Jeep Wagoneer Series 2 frequently stalls while coming out of idle, such as at traffic lights. This is not the auto stop-start feature and happens whether or not auto stop-start is deactivated. Usually, after being by stopped, as I am getting ready to start moving again, the vehicle will slightly rev or try to lurch forward before stalling out. This turns the engine off, throws the car into park, and activates my e-brake. It happens before I press the accelerator so the car is not moving more than a mile or two an hour. …”

“While driving at highway speeds, the jeep suddenly downshifted, revved up a ton, and threw overheat and low oil warnings. The head gasket likely almost blew, we were very close to losing control of the vehicle. After googling, I discovered that this is a problem that Jeep is aware of: dozens of reports online over the last two years, and the dealerships have been buying them back and claiming it's just a thermostat problem rather than issuing a recall for what is obviously a very serious design flaw and safety issue.”

“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. …”

“We purchased a Jeep Wagoneer L from Liberty Jeep in Libertyville, IL in May of 2024 and have had issues since. The first issue was on August 25th 2024 when I was driving my vehicle it stopped in the middle of the road and turned off. I had to turn my car back on and thankfully was only a block away and drive it to my driveway with the steering stiff the whole way. After this, the Jeep had to come tow my car on August 26th. There was no warning until after it happened. Dealer had the car for one day and then said to come get it on August 27th it was fixed. …”
