2024 Jeep Wagoneer S

I was stopped at a red light on a busy road. When it turned green and i accelerated the car would not move. It jerked and the dash lit up lioke a Christmas tree. A big red turtle came up on the dash and I was able to move but only 5-7 miles per hour. I drove the 8 -9 mile home at only 7 miles an hour while being honked at and near misses from the heavy trraffic. The vehiocle was towed to the dealership and I am being told that the manufacturer is aware of the problem but there is no current fix. They may actually try to return the vcehicle to me as is, but I do not feel safe driving it. On a side note, tis is the 5th time the vehile has been in the shop in the 6 months we have owned it.

On Thursday, August 7th, 2025 at approximately 6:51pm while driving my 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S the vehicle lurched forward suddenly while coming to a stop (below 5mph at the time of the lurch). Following that, multiple service lights illuminated on the dash including a large red turtle with a message that "Vehicle power may be diminished". When I went to accelerate from the stop the vehicle was sluggish and slow to respond to throttle input, but then with absolutely no throttle input began accelerating on it's own. This lurching during deceleration followed by unintended acceleration repeated itself several times while attempting to get the vehicle back to the dealership (I was less than a mile from my local Jeep dealer when this occurred). I have video of the vehicle behaving this way, and provided that video to the service department at Lithia Chrysler Jeep of Reno. I have also reached out to Stellantis directly who informed me that in spite of this, and multiple other serious problems with this vehicle they will not assist me with a re-purchase and are going to force me to pursue resolution via Nevada State Lemon Law.

1. Brake Booster Failure: On [XXX], my Wagoneer S experienced a brake booster failure, rendering the brakes inoperable. The vehicle displayed multiple error messages but still showed a misleading “Ready to Drive” message, falsely indicating it was safe to operate. The SUV was towed to SouthPointe Jeep in Tulsa on June 28, 2025. I was informed the required brake booster part is backordered until at least July 21, 2025, leaving me without a safe vehicle for nearly a month. 2. Uconnect System Freezing During Backup Camera Use: Approximately 70% of the time, the Uconnect system freezes shortly after starting the vehicle, then reboots. Critically, this often happens while backing up using the rear-view camera — the screen freezes mid-maneuver, creating an extreme hazard for collisions with pedestrians or other vehicles. 3. Other Ongoing Problems: Persistent door rattling and poor build quality. Intermittent braking response or acceleration hesitation. Multiple software glitches, contributing to system instability.

Purchased the car on 5/16 and it’s been at the dealership since 5/23. Was driving and I received a message telling me to “stop safely, vehicle will shit off soon”. Car immediately slowed drastically and the wheel jerked forcing my car to swerve into the next lane on the interstate. Was barely able to pull the car over safely without getting crushed on the highway. Have opened a case with Jeep Customer care and been in contact with the dealership. Car has been sitting there with no progress on a fix and no one knows what to do. Dealership is waiting for Jeep engineers and have no idea what’s wrong or how to fix it.
