Deaths

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.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer L. 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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving the Wagoneer it shut down in the middle of road while at a stop light, and did a “hard” reset where all the systems had to boot back up before being able to start the Jeep. I reached out to local Jeep and to Service, and was told to bring it down so that they could run a scan. On my way to the dealership, on XXX , the Jeep did the same thing and shut down in the middle of [XXX] ( I major road here on [XXX]). I was able to start it back up and get to the dealership. Once there and after running the scan, I was told that there were active codes for the electronic power steering system and that this could of caused this issue, and that I needed to leave the Jeep with them, as it

ENGINE
While driving in Oyster Bay NY on a mild day, around 75-80 degrees, engine fan started get louder and louder as if the truck was in a high heat condition. Fan only kept getting louder, i was able to access the digtial temperature gauge and temp was reading over 250 degrees. However no warning light or message came onto the screen. When i contacted the dealer, they said to get it to them, but i could not drive it, because the temp was steadly increasing and ended up having to get it towed. (Temp got to 270). When the dealership contacted me, they informed me that it was a stuck thermostat, and that this was a known condition., however i dont see a recall for this.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Battery failure after car wasn’t driven over the weekend. Left me stranded and had to get the vehicle jumped in order to take it into the dealership. If this had occurred in I climate weather it could have placed me and my family in danger. This is the second such failure we have experienced since owning the vehicle. I purchased and now carry a battery jump starter for a new vehicle for fear of being stranded. That is outrageous for such an expensive and new vehicle. Dealership cannot replicate and says they cannot find a parasitic draw. No official warning prior to incident to occurring however the vehicle sounds like it cycles constantly while being turned off and sitting in the garage.

Instead of restarting, the vehicle experienced a total software lockup where it "forgot" it was turned on. During these episodes, the vehicle entered an unmanageable failure state: the transmission locked in Park, the electronic emergency parking brake

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
