The vehicle is unsafe; it freezes while driving leaving one unable to navigate in any way. Everything ceases at once - nothing works, you can't put it into P/D/R/N, it won't accellerate or turn off. It just freezes, won't drive, won't turn off, completely locks up either while parked (the safer version) or while driving (completely unsafe, imagine being in a moving vehicle with no control at all?). Please don't ignore this - look at social media where hundreds, if not thousands of people are reporting the same exact event. It has happened to me alone 3x. Jeep claims they have no fix for it yet they aren't recalling the vehicle which is reckless. Please make them accountable and keep our highways safe!

This vehicle has experienced the same or substantially similar serious safety-related malfunction on three separate occasions. The vehicle becomes unable to engage gear or move and also will not shut down normally. The first incident occurred in XXX in a parking garage in [XXX]. The vehicle powered on but would not engage gear or move and would not shut down. Operation was eventually restored following an electrical reset involving the 12-volt battery. The second incident occurred on XXX, while the vehicle was in my driveway. The vehicle again would not properly engage gear or move and would not shut down normally. An electrical/high-voltage system reset was required before the vehicle became operational again. The third and most serious incident occurred on XXX, at approximately 8:00 p.m. on a highway shoulder near the RFK Bridge in [XXX]. After stopping on the shoulder, I attempted to leave but the vehicle again would not engage gear or move and would not shut down normally. I was therefore stranded on the side of a highway. Police responded and remained behind my vehicle because of the hazardous location while I attempted to restore operation. The vehicle eventually became operational again following an electrical reset. I am concerned that the vehicle can unexpectedly become immobilized and unable to engage Drive or Reverse and may also remain powered on and unable to shut down. Stellantis technical documentation for 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer S vehicles describes similar electronic park/pawl faults including DTCs P1E18-00, P1625-00 and [XXX]. I have requested that Stellantis investigate these conditions. The recurring nature of this defect, particularly the XXX incident requiring police assistance creates a serious safety concern. I am requesting that NHTSA document and investigate this recurring defect and determine whether other Jeep Wagoneer S vehicles have experienced the same condition.

Is 51 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2025 and 2026, roughly 39 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.
