I am reporting a serious recurring safety issue with my 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition, leased new in July 2025. Over approximately 15 months, I have experienced at least 5–6 incidents of severely reduced acceleration while stopped at traffic lights, intersections, or in heavy traffic. When attempting to move forward, the vehicle barely responds to the accelerator. Even with substantial pressure on the pedal, it moves only at an extremely slow crawl, making it impossible to accelerate normally or safely keep up with traffic. Every incident has been accompanied by the dashboard message "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon," usually along with turtle, red wrench, and lightning bolt warning symbols. I have sometimes managed to creep out of traffic to a safer location, where I shut off the vehicle and waited before restarting. On several occasions, multiple restart attempts were necessary before normal acceleration returned. These failures create a serious collision risk because motorists expect traffic to move when signals change. I fear being struck from behind or stranded in an intersection. The vehicle has undergone four dealership service visits. In August 2025, I reported that it would not move and displayed a shutdown warning. In September 2025, Bedford Jeep consulted Stellantis engineering and reproduced warning symptoms under deliberately induced test conditions, but not the spontaneous acceleration failure. Additional software updates were performed in May 2026. In October 2026, the vehicle became completely inoperable despite a 67% battery charge and required towing. The dealer confirmed a failed 12-volt battery and performed further repairs. I have dashboard photographs documenting warnings at 2,183 and 8,537 miles. The vehicle is available for inspection. Despite multiple dealership visits, my safety concerns remain unresolved. I request that NHTSA investigate this recurring propulsion safety issue.

The AEB sensor came on malfunctioned. The safety of others is if it doesn’t stop breaking could cause a collision. The vehicle has been in the shop since August 20 and still not fixed. The component has just been inspected or in the process of being inspected by a star technician so I was told from Selantis today. there’s been problems with the battery with the front sensor not functioning properly.

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.

Since July 2025, this vehicle has suffered from severe, recurring electronic and software glitches that critically affect driveability and safe operation. While driving, multiple critical warnings display on the instrument cluster indicating that the airbags are inoperable. Following or during these warnings, the vehicle experiences sudden power/system disruptions, after which the windshield wipers activate automatically on their own, and the turn signals completely stop working. These compounding electrical faults pose a severe safety hazard. Despite manufacturer software recalls issued for instrument panel and electrical system failures (such as Stellantis/FCA Recall Campaign 39D / NHTSA ID 26V262), the software patches have failed to resolve these dangerous operational glitches, and the vehicle continues to malfunction unpredictably.

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!

I leased a new 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S (electric) on 11/10/2025. Since taking delivery, the vehicle has repeatedly and unpredictably disabled critical driver-assistance and safety systems while in motion, and has on multiple occasions warned that it would shut down while driving. Specific safety-related incidents: On multiple occasions, the vehicle's forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and Auto Hold have all intermittently and simultaneously disabled themselves while driving, with no warning and no ability to re-enable them except by fully powering the vehicle off and on, or disconnecting the 12V battery. This has occurred repeatedly since November 2025 and continues as of July 2026. On July 10, 2026, the instrument cluster displayed "Vehicle speed may be limited" and "Stop Safely, Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" while I was driving. The vehicle's speed dropped to near zero. I was not near a charging station and the battery was not depleted. I performed a manual 12V battery disconnect myself to restore function and drove the vehicle home, rather than wait for a tow truck, because I was concerned about being stranded. On May 21, 2026, at 6,013 miles, the vehicle displayed a "Service Electric Vehicle System" warning and limited my speed to approximately 5 MPH while driving, with an estimated 205 miles of range remaining and the battery at 70%. I have also experienced at least two complete breakdowns while driving during evening rush-hour traffic (May and June 2026), requiring roadside recovery. The vehicle has been in for dealership service at least 7 times since delivery, with under 5,000 miles on it as of March 2026. One single repair (February 28 – May 27, 2026) kept the vehicle out of service for approximately 79 consecutive days. The selling dealer has confirmed it employs only one technician qualified to service electric vehicles. I have since obtained the vehicle's pre-delivery service history and found that the dealership performed

I recently purchased this vehicle and had possession of it for only three days before it developed a serious braking-related issue. While driving, the ABS warning light illuminated, indicating that the anti-lock braking system required service. At the same time, the vehicle became noticeably more difficult to stop, requiring increased braking distance and significantly earlier brake application than normal. The failed component is currently at the dealership and is available for inspection. The illuminated ABS warning also disabled several advanced driver assistance features, including the collision avoidance and automatic emergency braking systems. As a result, important safety features designed to help prevent or mitigate collisions were unavailable while the warning lights were present. This malfunction created a significant safety risk to me, my passengers, and other motorists. On multiple occasions, the vehicle required substantially more distance to stop, increasing the risk of a rear-end collision, particularly if another driver stopped suddenly or cut in front of my vehicle. Because the collision avoidance and assisted braking systems were also disabled, there was no electronic backup available to help reduce the risk of an accident. The vehicle has been inspected by the selling dealership, where technicians confirmed the problem after the vehicle failed two separate diagnostic tests. The vehicle remains at the dealership awaiting replacement parts and repair. It has now been out of service longer than I have actually been able to drive it since purchasing it. The ABS warning light and related service messages appeared before the braking performance deteriorated. To the best of my knowledge, no crash or injuries occurred, but the defect significantly increased stopping distance and created an unsafe driving condition. Based on the dealer's diagnosis, the issue has been confirmed and is awaiting repair.

The vehicle's automatic emergency braking (AEB) / forward collision avoidance system activates without cause and brings the vehicle to a sudden, complete stop in the middle of an intersection. This has occurred on at least two occasions. In each instance I was making a left turn at a four-way intersection while an oncoming vehicle was also turning left — a common, non-conflicting turn geometry. The system falsely interpreted the opposing left-turning vehicle as an imminent frontal collision, displayed a "crash detected" message, and applied full braking, stopping my vehicle in live cross-traffic in the middle of the intersection. The first occurrence was on XXX, at the intersection of [XXX], while I was turning left from [XXX] [XXX]. The second occurrence was on XXX, at the intersection of [XXX], while turning left from [XXX] onto [XXX]. Both intersections are equipped with dual (two) opposing left-turn lanes, and in each case the false activation occurred as oncoming traffic in the opposing left-turn lanes was simultaneously turning left. This is a serious safety hazard. An unexpected, complete stop in the middle of an active intersection exposes the vehicle to being struck from behind by following traffic and to side-impact (T-bone) collisions from cross-traffic. The braking is abrupt and unanticipated, and no obstacle is actually present in the vehicle's path. No crash or injury has resulted to date. The defect has been reported to the selling/servicing dealer, Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th (Thornton, CO), and is the subject of an open Stellantis case, #XXX. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer for this concern. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate the forward collision avoidance / automatic emergency braking system on this vehicle and model.

Was driving on a side street when the following warnings appeared: "Stop Safely – Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon", "Service Electric Vehicle System" , Wrench warning light. Immediately attempted to pull to the side of the road. Once stopped, the vehicle completely froze and became inoperable. The vehicle had to be towed to Shaver Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in Thousand Oaks, California.The same safety-related failures are being reported not only in the Jeep Wagoneer S, but also in the Dodge Charger Daytona, which shares the same STLA Large EV platform/These warnings on the Wagoneer S and Charger EVs indicate a critical fault detected in the vehicle's high-voltage or 12-volt electrical system, frequently stemming from a software glitch, a loose 12V terminal, or communication errors between the battery control modules. . This suggests the issue may be a broader platform-level software or electrical defect rather than an isolated problem with our vehicle. This is now the third occurrence of the same issue within the past year. Stellantis has been unable to diagnose and permanently correct a known defect.

The first time this happened I was pulling into a parking lot and all service lights started flickering and it said to turn turn off car immediately as I was driving, I pulled into the nearest parking lot and it just stopped driving. The second time, which was Friday, April 17, 2026 I was driving down a busy road and all lights started flashing, the big NO ASB brakes flashing and I had no brakes. It was terrifying. Thankfully I ended up going down a hill onto flat ground and was able to pull into a gas station and get stopped by the curb. I immediately turned off the car and called the dealership. This happens without any warning at all, just when I am driving. This car is completely UNSAFE and unreliable. I needed to drive 188 miles on Saturday and when I picked the car up from the dealership the service manager told me NOT to take it on the trip, after being told the updates were completed. The issue has not been reliably reproduced, but the vehicle has been taken to the dealership twice for the same concern. After the most recent visit, the service manager advised me not to drive the vehicle due to safety concerns, indicating the issue may still be present and unresolved. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized dealership on two separate occasions. It has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer directly, police, or insurance representatives. No warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms appeared before either incident. The loss of braking occurred suddenly and without any advance indication. The failure involves the vehicle’s braking system and potentially the electrical/software systems. In addition to the braking issue, when the dealership connected a diagnostic device to the vehicle, it incorrectly registered the odometer reading as approximately 77,000 miles, while the actual mileage is approximately 4,801 miles. The failure involves the vehicle’s braking system and potentially the electrical/software systems. In addition to the braking issue,

Vehicle: 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Dealer: Larry H Miller Colorado Jeep, Aurora, CO DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM: My 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S has exhibited recurring charging and electrical system failures since taking delivery. The vehicle is advertised by Jeep as supporting Level 3 (DC fast) charging, with an official specification of 5-80% charge in approximately 28 minutes. In practice, the vehicle has been unable to reliably charge on higher-power DC fast chargers, and has exhibited symptoms consistent with an electrical/charging system fault. This has been ongoing for several months since the car was obtained. SYMPTOMS OBSERVED: 1. Vehicle fails to charge properly when connected to higher-power (Level 3 / DC fast) chargers, producing charging error messages. 2. Vehicle intermittently will not turn on / power up until it is powered off and restarted. This is a no-start condition that has created stranding risk. 3. Vehicle infotainment screens intermittently fail to turn on. SERVICE HISTORY: Please see attached repair order. DEALER GUIDANCE: The dealership's engineering/service manager has verbally advised me not to use Level 3 / DC fast charging on this vehicle and stated they cannot guarantee Level 3 charging will work. SAFETY CONCERN: The intermittent no-start condition and unpredictable charging behavior create real-world safety risk, including the risk of being stranded without the ability to recharge adequately on longer trips where Level 2 charging (which takes multiple hours) is not practical. Level 2 charging at home requires approximately 6.8 hours for a 5-80% charge per Jeep’s own specifications; if Level 3 charging cannot be used, the vehicle’s practical usable range is significantly reduced.

In April 2025, I purchased a new vehicle from AutoNation Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram North Richland Hills as a retirement gift to myself. After years of driving gas-powered vehicles, I decided to transition to an electric vehicle and purchased a Jeep Wagoneer S. While the vehicle is visually impressive, my ownership experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. Since the purchase, the vehicle has experienced ongoing and severe mechanical issues. It has spent more time at the dealership than in my garage. I have worked with multiple service departments and communicated with several representatives from Stellantis, repeatedly warning that this vehicle poses a serious safety risk and could result in injury or worse. The primary issue is extremely dangerous: the vehicle will unexpectedly surge forward with force and then abruptly lose all battery power. Despite being repaired approximately 8 to 10 times, the problem continues to recur. Multiple technicians, engineers, and even an investigator have attempted to diagnose and fix the issue, all without success. A few weeks ago, I experienced what I believe could have been a fatal incident. At approximately 5:15 a.m., while driving on the highway near the 121 and 635 merge in Grapevine, the vehicle failed completely. It was still dark, and traffic was moving at speeds exceeding 80 mph. My disabled vehicle was left blocking active lanes of traffic while other drivers swerved and honked to avoid me. Fearing for my life. This has happened so many times, but this time the failure could have been deadly. Following that incident, the vehicle was towed back to the dealership, where it has remained for approximately five weeks. Despite everything that has occurred, I was later contacted by a representative from Chrysler who offered $1,000 as a “goodwill” gesture for the whiplash I sustained during the incident. I made it clear that I was seeking a full buyback of the vehicle, including reimbursement of my investment. That re

CarPlay maps on the dashboard are not in sync with reality (even on the short ride home) often displaying the steering wheel icon and/or “0 m” directions that make no sense with the reality of where I was driving. After a brief stop on the way home, I turned the car on and the emergency brake initiated itself, as it so often has since we leased the car.

The vehicle has experienced two critical drivetrain failures. The first occurred in December 2025 at approximately 2,000 miles. The transmission failed, leaving the vehicle undriveable and requiring a tow. After repair, the vehicle was returned still displaying brake-system service warnings and had to go back to the dealer a second time. The second failure occurred on March 23, 2026 at 3,471 miles. The instrument cluster displayed 'Service Transmission' and 'Service Transmission - Set Park Brake to Prevent Rolling' with multiple red warning indicators. Battery was at 47%, confirming this is not a charge issue. The vehicle lost all drivetrain function without warning and could not be driven. This is a safety-critical defect - complete loss of propulsion and the inability to hold the vehicle in gear creates a risk of the vehicle rolling and a stranding hazard. The dealer has been unable to resolve the issue after three service visits. The problem has been confirmed and inspected by the authorized Stellantis dealer.

This vehicle has experienced three separate safety failures within only a few months of ownership. Incident 1: While driving with my children in the vehicle, the battery warning light illuminated and the vehicle immediately entered a low-power “turtle mode,” rapidly losing speed in traffic. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. Incident 2: While traveling approximately 60 mph, the hood latch failed and the vehicle immediately decelerated to approximately 20 mph, creating a dangerous situation in traffic. The vehicle again had to be towed. Incident 3: While pulling into my driveway, the vehicle displayed warning lights when shifted into reverse and went into transmission lock, rendering it immobile before losing power completely. In all three cases my wife and children were in the vehicle and were placed in unsafe situations. I am concerned this vehicle has serious safety defects.
