2022 Jeep Wagoneer Reliability Report

Owners of the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer frequently report issues with the vehicle unexpectedly shutting down, particularly during stops or while driving, which sometimes leads to crashes. Complaints often describe the automatic start/stop function failing to restart the vehicle, with some incidents resulting in activation of the electronic parking brake while in motion. Multiple owners mention problems with the sunroof or moonroof spontaneously shattering, and issues with interior components such as sun visors breaking and obstructing the driver's view. These problems typically occur within the first 30,000 miles, with some safety implications including loss of control and potential for accidents. Buyers should be aware of these reported issues, especially those related to vehicle shutdowns and safety recalls that remain unresolved.

Owners report persistent suspension-related issues with the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer, primarily involving vibrations and alignment problems. Complaints frequently mention significant vibrations at speeds above 70 mph, often described as shaking or trembling, which persists despite multiple tire replacements and alignments. Several owners note uneven tire wear, particularly on the front right tire, with some experiencing rapid tire degradation leading to exposed belts. Mileage at the time of these issues varies, but some reports indicate problems beginning as early as 9,000 miles. Safety implications are noted, with concerns about vehicle control at high speeds and one instance of a suspension arm being unsecured, potentially leading to hazardous driving conditions.

Owners of the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer frequently report issues with brake failure, often describing situations where the brake pedal becomes unresponsive or sinks to the floor without warning. Several complaints involve crashes, including incidents where the vehicle continues to move despite the brake pedal being depressed, resulting in collisions with other vehicles or objects. These issues are reported at various mileages, with one owner noting a failure at approximately 34,000 miles. Safety implications are significant, with multiple reports of near misses involving pedestrians and other vehicles, and one instance of an injury. Additionally, some owners describe the emergency parking brake activating unexpectedly while driving, causing abrupt stops. These patterns suggest potential risks for used car buyers considering this model.

Common symptoms include the vehicle stalling, automatically shifting to park, and various warning messages appearing on the dashboard. Several complaints indicate problems with the eTorque system, with some owners experiencing prolonged part backorders and the system failing, leading to stalls in potentially hazardous situations, such as on highways. Mileage at which these issues occur varies, with at least one report at 10,000 miles. Safety implications are notable, as the engine shutdowns can lead to loss of control and increased risk in traffic.

Owners of the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer report issues primarily related to structural integrity and component detachment. Complaints frequently mention problems with the quarter window trim detaching and abnormal rattling sounds from the third-row passenger’s side panel, with some owners able to fit fingers between the panel and window. One owner describes a significant safety incident where frame rail extension welds failed during towing, resulting in a crash into a utility pole, although no injuries were reported. These issues are reported at varying mileages, with one incident noted at approximately 74,200 miles.

These problems often occur despite attempts to resolve them at dealerships, where technicians are unable to replicate the issues. The complaints do not specify particular mileage ranges, but the inability to maintain speed on highways presents potential safety risks.
