Vehicle will suddenly shut off in traffic. Will NOT start back up for 1-2 minutes. Control panel near gear selector will flash on and off message reading Hold brake and start button. Screen all black. This has happened 3 times this month. Car shut off in car wash, once started it would not shift from Park into Neutral or Drive for 60 seconds. When accelerating on expressway, vehicle will shake then message flashes on dashboard "Put in proper gas and oil". Happens weekly. Dealership of course cannot find any issues or replicate codes....very convenient. Bought new-2023 Jeep Wagoneer Series 2 Hurricane twin-turbo engine.

The thermostat suddenly failed, causing extensive engine failure. The engine failure was the direct and unavoidable consequence of a known manufacturer defect explicitly covered under Customer Satisfaction Notification 26B and TSB 09-006-25 / RSU 25-047 which should have replaced my thermostat or been a recall.

About a week ago, I received a warning that my lane management assist required servicing. As of Tuesday (10/06), as I slowed to a. Stop sign, my car started beeping, put itself in park and turned off. It flashed a message that stated a restart was required. Then today, I was getting the same lane management warning and as I was stopped, my car did the same thing, threw me into park, put a bunch of different warning messages then said power steering requires service. I proceeded to drive home since I was about ten minutes away, shut my vehicle off for a few minutes and tried to restart it, the car would not restart. The vehicle had to then be towed to dealer for repair. Since purchasing the…

I own a 2023 Jeep Wagoneer with approximately 33,000 miles. The vehicle has unexpectedly shifted/commanded PARK while moving on two separate occasions. The first incident occurred while I was driving approximately 5 mph in a parking lot. The vehicle unexpectedly went into PARK while it was moving. The second, more serious incident occurred while I was accelerating from a complete stop to make a left turn onto a main road.

The vehicle has been inspected, but the dealership has been unable to duplicate the…

I recently had an oil change at the dealership I purchased the Wagoneer from. Three days after the oil change was completed, I was sitting at a stop light when the vehicle completely shut down, and the power steering went out. I started the vehicle back up and a power steering service notice popped up. That same day, the large central display screen kept flashing on and off, when it finally shut completely off. Six days later, I was driving home from work when I noticed the engine kept running up into the 6-7000 RPM's if I tried to drive over 40mph. I drove under 40mph the rest of the way home (about 10 minutes) and started noticing how loud the engine sounded and the temperature gauge was…
