The high-voltage propulsion system and Battery Pack Control Module (BPCM) failed. The vehicle suffered an abrupt drop in power, overriding driver input and forcing it into "turtle mode." The vehicle is currently un-diagnosed and available for inspection at the Jeep dealership. My safety and the safety of others were put at immediate risk. The vehicle suffered a sudden loss of acceleration in live traffic. This abrupt drop in speed creates a severe hazard for rear-end collisions, as the vehicle could not maintain traffic speeds or accelerate out of danger. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Jeep dealership on August 10th. The dealer missed multiple diagnostic commitments (August 14th and August 24th) and has failed to diagnose or repair the issue for over 16 days. No formal inspections have been completed by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives since intake. The vehicle experienced multiple power drops into turtle mode on multiple dates with dashboard warning lamps illuminated. This mirrors known software issues on this platform detailed in Stellantis TSB 08-022-25 REV. B.

My 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S has experienced repeated electrical and drivability failures. Most recently, while driving at approximately 16,500 miles, the vehicle displayed “Service Electric Vehicle System” followed by “Stop Safely – Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon.” The warning appeared while the vehicle was in motion, creating concern that the vehicle could lose propulsion or shut down unexpectedly in traffic. This was not the first serious incident. On a prior occasion, the vehicle made loud clicking and clacking noises and later became disabled in downtown Berwick, Maine. During that incident, the vehicle would not shut off and would not shift into Park, leaving me stranded and unable to secure or operate the vehicle normally. These repeated failures involve the vehicle’s electric drive/electrical system, ability to remain operational, ability to shut down, and ability to engage Park. I am concerned that these conditions could create a crash, rollaway, or roadside-stranding risk depending on when and where the failure occurs. Warning messages have included “Service Electric Vehicle System” and “Stop Safely – Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon.” I have photographs documenting the warnings. The vehicle and its systems are available for inspection upon request. The vehicle has previously been presented for service related to ongoing problems. The exact underlying cause of these repeated failures is currently UNKNOWN. I am reporting the issue because the problems have occurred more than once and appear to represent an unresolved electrical or propulsion-system defect.

After only a few months of owning the car, my tire completely blew out on the freeway. I did not hit anything or run over anything and the service team mentioned there was nothing in the tire to make them believe this was a result of something that punctured the tire.

Is 28 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 28 complaints on file, fewer than the 2025 (51). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
