On June 18, 2026, I was driving my 2024 Grand Wagoneer on a busy city road. As I approached a busy intersection, I stopped at the red light. When I attempted to move forward when the light turned green, it moved a few feet (putting us in the middle of the intersection), the vehicle seized and became immobile. Almost every light on the dashboard lit up. Several messages flashed back and forth on the screen including "Service transmission" and then "service electronic stability control". I immediately tried to use the SOS function, and when they answered, they were unable to hear me. A person in a truck behind me told me to put my vehicle in Neutral so that the vehicle could move out of the road as it was blocking traffic. When I tried to turn the gear dial, it turned, but the P light stayed on and the vehicle would not go into Neutral. I checked the parking brake and it was not on, nor would it engage. The vehicle being stalled, with zero ability to move put my children and I in danger as there was not a safe place to even exit the vehicle as traffic was completely surrounding us. I tried to turn off the vehicle, but the vehicle stayed in the "run" function even after being pressed. Emergency services was my only next choice. One more push of the off button and the vehicle finally turned off. I waited for 2 minutes and tried to turn the vehicle on again. It did turn on, showing the check engine light. I then was able to put the car into gear, and it moved. I moved the vehicle out of traffic to the next available parking lot. I immediately contacted the dealership and told them I would be having the vehicle towed there for inspection and I do not feel comfortable driving this vehicle again. Unfortunately, this is the 3rd time my car has put me in a dangerous situation in the middle of an intersection, the other 2 being false crash alerts (turning left in turning lane and car thought I was going into oncoming traffic).

The contact owns a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer. The contact stated that after driving over a train track, several messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The steering and brakes warning lights were illuminated. While driving at undisclosed speeds, the warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle shut off unexpectedly. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the residence; however, the failure reoccurred. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

When sitting at the light my vehicle completely shut off. When I was able to restart the vehicle the power steering light came on. After driving for a few moments, the vehicle did the same thing and steering concerns continued. The vehicle was on two major roads with other vehicles around. This put myself, my son, and other drivers on the road in danger of being involved in an accident. The vehicle was taken to the dealership under the Florida Lemon Law. The aux and main battery were replaced. The representative from Stellantis denied our Lemon Law request of repurchase or replacement of this vehicle. By Jun 2026, under one year of ownership, the vehicle had already spent over 38 days at the dealership for service related issues: airbag issue, steering related failure issue, steering rack replacement, battery replacement, and now on July 9,2026 the vehicle attempted to shift into Park, the electronic parking brake engaged, and the vehicle became immobile while we were actively driving. This produced another safety concern for our family and other drivers on the road. The vehicle is currently with the dealership attempting to diagnosis this defect.

Incident: Frontal collision with a boulder at 30 MPH. 1. Component/System failure & Inspection Availability The primary failure was the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS); the driver’s frontal airbag failed to deploy during a high-energy frontal impact. Additionally, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—specifically Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW)—failed to provide alerts or initiate emergency braking prior to impact. 2. Safety Risk The failure created a life-threatening risk. Striking a boulder at 30 MPH caused substantial structural damage, requiring total replacement of the front-right and rear-right suspension assemblies. Despite the severity of the impact, the airbag remained dormant. The lack of FCW/LDW intervention meant zero mitigation was provided to prevent the roadway departure or collision, rendering primary safety features non-functional. 3. Confirmation of Problem The fact that the airbags did not deploy was confirmed by independent inspection following the collision. Assessment of the vehicle damage shows that impact forces were clearly sufficient to trigger the SRS, yet the system failed to activate. While ADAS failure is a dynamic event, the total absence of system logs or alerts during the crash sequence confirms the electronic malfunction. 4. Inspections Performed The vehicle was inspected by an insurance adjuster and collision repair professionals. These inspections documented that the impact was severe enough to cause significant mechanical failure, yet no airbag deployment occurred. The manufacturer (Stellantis/Jeep) has not yet performed a formal data download (EDR) or physical inspection. 5. Warning Lamps & Prior Symptoms No warning lamps, SRS/Airbag indicator lights, or "Service" messages appeared prior to the failure. The diagnostic interface indicated all systems were "Normal," pointing to a catastrophic "silent failure" of the sensors or the Steering Column Control Module.

The second-row passenger side seat release button is non-functional. Third-row passengers cannot exit without this button — it is inoperable, and they cannot reach the manual lever due to insufficient space. Third-row passengers are physically trapped and cannot self-evacuate without outside assistance. In an emergency — collision, fire, or submersion — third-row passengers would have no ability to escape. This defect was first reported December 2, 2024, documented as unable to duplicate, and the vehicle returned without repair. Reported again January 14, 2026. Vehicle has been continuously at an authorized Jeep dealership since January 20, 2026 — 133+ consecutive days unresolved — due to repeated manufacturer parts delays with no confirmed resolution date. Additionally, a recurring key fob and door lock malfunction was reported across four separate visits spanning October 2024 through August 2025. Two open federal safety recalls — 77C (door trim detachment) and 88C (quarter window trim detachment) — show as incomplete in NHTSA's database despite being documented as completed by the dealership on January 20, 2026. Door trim was previously repaired October 29, 2024, suggesting a recurring defect. Defect confirmed by authorized dealership on multiple repair orders. Manufacturer retention team has open escalation case with no resolution. Component available for inspection — vehicle remains at dealership.

Is 33 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2025 and 2026, roughly 23 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2024 has 33 complaints on file, fewer than the 2023 (48). Of the 3 model years of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer we cover, the 2022 has the most (59). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
