Should You Buy the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer?
Good, with one serious catch. This model year holds up better than most Wagoneer years, ranking among the stronger of the four we score. It also rates better than 2023, which has mixed reliability, 93 complaints and 8 recalls. Against other 2024 SUVs, though, it lands below average.
The problem to know about is sudden stalling. Owners say the engine shuts off while driving or stopped, the vehicle shifts itself into park, and power steering assist cuts out, usually with flashing warning lights. Reports start between 382 and 3,500 miles. Dealers often cannot find a cause, and some failures return after repairs. Other owners report false automatic emergency braking at low speed, dead batteries after the vehicle sits, and engine overheating traced to a faulty thermostat. There are 6 federal recalls, covering structure, back over prevention, air bags, steering and seat belts.
Run the VIN through federal recall records and confirm every one was completed. Ask for repair records on stalling, battery and thermostat work. The 2025 model rates better, though it has had less time to collect complaints.
Compared to the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer, which scored 6 points higher. See also the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer for an earlier comparison.

Used Buying Checklist
Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer.
Sit at several red lights, then pull away. Walk away if the engine stalls or the vehicle shifts itself into park.
Drive slowly through turns and parking lots and note any hard braking with nothing ahead.
Ask for service records showing thermostat replacement or the related service bulletin work.
Watch the temperature gauge on a 45-minute drive and stop if coolant or oil pressure warnings appear.
Ask for records of main or auxiliary battery replacements, PDC repairs, and PCM software updates.
Cruise at 70 mph and feel for steering wheel shake or body vibration.
After a few miles of open road, check the dash for a "Blind Spot sensors unavailable" message.
Make full-lock turns both ways at low speed and listen for rear wheels rubbing or dragging.
2024 Jeep Wagoneer Common Problems by Component
45 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
16 complaintsSafety-relatedThe most common complaint is sudden stalling, both while driving and while stopped. The engine shuts off, the vehicle shifts itself into park, and power and steering assist cut out, usually with flashing warning lights and a check engine light. Several reports put this in the first few thousand miles, and dealers often cannot find a cause. False automatic emergency braking at low speed is the second pattern. One of these complaints involves a crash, and 2 people were injured. Owners also report main and auxiliary batteries going dead after the vehicle sits, blind spot sensor faults, and a glitching center screen.
POWER TRAIN
9 complaintsSafety-relatedIn most of these reports, the transmission shifts itself into park while the vehicle is moving or stopped. Owners see a "Shift into P" message, the engine stalls, and the accelerator does nothing until a restart. Most cases come within the first few hundred miles. One crash-related complaint describes the vehicle shifting from park into drive and hitting a parking barrier. Engine overheating that dealers trace to a faulty thermostat is a second pattern. One owner points to a technical service bulletin on it. Single reports describe a blown crankshaft seal pouring oil on a new vehicle and a vibration that rebalancing did not fix.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
5 complaintsSeveral of these reports describe stalling while pulling away from a stop. The engine dies, the vehicle shifts into park, and the electronic brake engages, whether or not auto stop-start is turned on. One owner reports losing steering assist each time stop-start shuts the engine off. Overheating tied to the thermostat appears here too. At highway speed, owners describe sudden downshifts, overheat and low oil warnings, and a complete loss of power in traffic. A separate complaint involves a broken sun visor mount that leaves the visor hanging in the driver's view.
ENGINE (5 complaints)
ENGINE
5 complaintsOverheating from a failed thermostat leads the engine complaints. Owners describe a high coolant temperature warning followed by a low oil pressure alert, coolant loss, and a sudden stop in traffic. Warranty covered at least one repair. Stalling is the other pattern. The engine shuts off while slowing on the interstate or sitting at a light, the electronic parking brake engages, and the driver has to shift to park and restart, often with no warning light. One owner with the 3.0L Hurricane engine reports sputtering, hard starts, hesitation, and repeated tows that began near 10,372 miles.
STEERING (5 complaints)
STEERING
5 complaintsThe main concern here is losing power steering during a sudden shutdown. The engine cuts out, sometimes at highway speed. Warning lights flash, and the wheel feels locked or heavy until the vehicle restarts. Some owners say the vehicle also shifts itself into park while driving. Dealers have blamed the auxiliary battery, the main battery, or the PDC, and the failures come back after repairs. Other reports describe violent steering wheel shake at 70 mph and above on a new vehicle, and rear wheels that feel like they drag in turns.
SERVICE BRAKES (2 complaints)
SERVICE BRAKES
2 complaintsOne report describes the vehicle braking hard on its own partway through a left turn with nothing ahead. After two days, the dealer still had no explanation. The other report is less about the brakes than about a shutdown. The vehicle stalls in the road and restarts with stiff steering, and the check engine light comes back on right after a dealer repair. Both complaints come from owners who bought the vehicle new and had it only a few days or months.
STRUCTURE (1 complaints)

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the door trim had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The approximate failure mileage was 29,427.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL (1 complaints)
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1 complaintI was driving and the car started making a weird noise. It then started to slow, the temperature went to red and the car started beeping. It kept going slow and then just stopped in the middle of the road. I could not move and was almost hit by multiple cars.
TIRES (1 complaints)
TIRES
1 complaintBRIDGESTONE DUELER H/L ALENZA 275/55R20 Tire sustained rapid and 100% complete airloss while driving on the highway. There were no warnings received via the vehicle tire pressure monitor system until over an hour later after the faulty tire had been changed. This is a brand new vehicle which I had only been driving for a couple of weeks. Personally only contributing to a couple hundred miles on the vehicle. There is no damage to the tire such as a puncture or foreign object. There had been no event leading up to this such as a pothole, a curb, etc.. There are multiple visible indents along the sidewall of the tire. The tire was inspected and viewed in person by roadside assistance technician as well as one dealership manager in addition to photos that were sent to home dealership and observed by manager and service manager.
