Rear window trim piece almost flew off while I was driving. This could have caused an accident or damage. Come to find out you have to replace the whole window to fix the problem too and not just the trim piece.

2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer series 1,had 22000 miles and engine locked up with number 4 piston seizing up. New starter put on and also new Cadillac converters. A new motor was installed but will not idle because of timing issues. 64 days later engineer can still not figure out how to help the mechanic to get it running. Prior to this driving home from dealer lot airbag light came on SOS. Would shift in four low without pushing the button while driving. Because dealership was not a Certified Jeep Wagoneer dealer, wagoneer client services has been little to no help driving a used GMC Arcadia that has more miles on it that what our vehicle had when the motor blew!

Electrical System

Vehicle has a malfunctioning climate control system due to electrical / software issues.

Vehicle has a malfunctioning climate control system due to electrical / software issues. When the climate control a/c is set to manual mode it will have a "ghost" control which will randomly change settings, it changes the set temperature - recirculating mode - a/c on and off - fan speed - fan direction (windshield, face, feet) - and will also apply to the rear passenger control unit. The main and lower front climate control screens will act "crazy" when this "ghost/glitch". is happening and randomly change settings, the driver cannot override it when it is happening until the vehicle is shut off. It is extremely dangerous as this malfunctioning climate control will let the front windshield moisture build up and be impossible to clear off - which leads to a visual obstruction and could result in a crash, it's especially bad for us in the PacNW in the winter when it is dark and always wet, not being able to keep the windshield clear is scary. I've reported the issue date as 12/24/22, but it happens frequently. I have recorded videos of it happening on my iPhone but the file size is too large for here. We are still waiting for parts from Jeep to get this issue fixed, there are multiple reports from other owners on this issue also, why is this vehicle allowed to be sold to the public ? It has so many issues.

The engine in our 2022 Wagoneer failed. We bought the car on April 30, 2022 and it had 15,000 miles on it when the engine blew. We were driving on I-70 near Burlington, CO when the message on the did ash read something to the effect of put the car in park. There were no other warning lights. Immediately, the car began to lose power and white smoke started to come out of the exhaust. We were able to get the car to the shoulder from the left lane, however, we were going 75mph or so and could’ve gotten into a wreck. A wrecker was called through Wagoneer roadside assistance and came about 2 hours after the initial call. The anti lock brakes on the car kept locking when the car was put into neutral to try to get the car on the wrecker. The engine barely started at this point. The closest dealer was in limon, co which is where the car is currently. Upon visual inspection, a new engine was ordered under warranty. Apparently, the engine was completely locked at this point and the service dept in Limon couldn’t even start the car. We don’t know if there is anything else wrong. Additionally, there is another Wagoneer at the Transwest dealership in limon, co with a blown engine.

Steering

Started the vehicle and had no power steering. Turned off and restarted several times to see if it was just a computer glitch. It couldn't be steered at all. If this had happened while driving there most certainly would have been an accident.
