A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

This is the year the complaint was filed, not the year the failure happened. The range runs from 2022 to 2026, the last of them a part year, which is why its column is drawn faint.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Its New Car Assessment Program tests a selection of each year's vehicles and does not reach motorcycles, heavy trucks, motorhomes or most low-volume models, so an absence here says nothing about how the vehicle would perform. It is not a low score.

What owners have reported about this vehicle is below, and it is a different question: a crash test measures what happens to the people inside in a controlled impact, while a complaint records what broke during ordinary use.

AIR BAGS

6 injured · crash · towed

Airbags failed to deploy in a front crash. Passenger side curtain air bags deployed, but none of the others deployed. The lane departure or lane keeping assistance did not work. The vehicle slowly swerved off of the highway with no safety features kicking in to help keep it on the road. No automatic emergency braking started. The vehicle was still going with the cruise control on following the collision. As of 3/20/2025 the vehicle is still available for inspection. This is the first report of this malfunction.

SERVICE BRAKES

crash · towed

I am filing this complaint because my Grand Wagoneer has experienced repeated, serious safety-related failures involving the braking system, electrical/communication systems, and vehicle shutdown. I no longer believe this vehicle is safe to operate. The most serious problem has occurred more than once. On July 21, 2026, while driving, the brakes failed. The brake pedal went to the floor and the vehicle would not stop normally. Multiple warning lights/messages appeared. I ultimately had to shift the vehicle into Park to prevent a collision. The vehicle was taken to the Jeep dealership and remained there for an extended period while the problem was investigated. The dealership reported that

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I am reporting a serious and recurring safety issue involving my 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The vehicle currently has approximately 95,000 miles. On the first incident, the vehicle became disabled and gasoline was pouring from the rear of the vehicle. Police and fire personnel responded and the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership’s repair documentation states that the vehicle was brought in as a no-start with gas pouring from the rear and that technicians “found fuel line disconnected.” The fuel line was resecured. Shortly after that repair, the same serious problem occurred again. The vehicle again became disabled and leaked a substantial amount of gasoline. Police and

NHTSA complaint 11768199, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

STRUCTURE:BODY
My 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer has been subject to an open safety recall involving the rear passenger-side window trim since I purchased the vehicle in 2025. I scheduled and attended numerous appointments with the authorized Jeep dealership seeking completion of the recall repair, but the defect was never remedied. On September 7, 2026, my husband was driving the Grand Wagoneer while I followed behind in another vehicle. My two toddlers were occupants of my vehicle. Before the incident, I observed the recalled rear passenger window trim flapping and becoming loose. The trim then detached completely from the Grand Wagoneer while both vehicles were traveling at approximately 75 mph on the

There have been multiple recalls (77C and 88C) affecting 2022-2025 Wagoneers where the trimming was not properly secured at the vehicle assembly plant. Our rear window trim was affected by one of these recalls and has fully detached from our vehicle while we were driving which has yet to be replaced by the dealership. I have attached a picture to show our rear window trim that is missing. We are having a similar issue with our front passenger window trim but the dealership has stated this is not part of the recall but based off the pictures attached it is evident that the retainer clips were also not fully engaged in this part of the window trim and is beginning to detach and pose as a road

STRUCTURE:BODY
There were 2 recent safety recalls (77C and 88C) that affected numerous 2022-2025 Grand Wagoneer vehicles regarding the window trim. One of the recalls directly affected our vehicle where the rear trim detached and flew off our vehicle. The dealership has yet to replace this rear trim stating that the window has to be replaced as well and is currently on backorder. The bottom half of our window trim on the passenger side is also starting to detach from the vehicle but the dealership states that it is not part of the recalls associated with our vehicle. It is a similar issue where the trim was not properly secured. The retainer clips are clearly not fully engaged which can be seen in the
