2025 Jeep Wagoneer S electrical problems

Filed Nov 1, 2026 · Electrical · FL

I am reporting recurring electrical and propulsion-system failures that present a serious safety risk. Since leasing this vehicle in May 2025, it has required multiple dealership repairs for electrical malfunctions, including extended service visits in June/July 2025, December 2025, May/June 2026, August 2026, and October 2026. On December 14, 2025, while driving with my children, the vehicle began shaking, lost the ability to accelerate normally, and displayed the warning “Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon.” The vehicle subsequently shut down in traffic, placing my family and surrounding motorists at risk. It was towed to Arrigo Sawgrass Jeep on December 15. On August 14, 2026, while driving my son to school, the vehicle again experienced violent jolting and displayed a shutdown warning. During the subsequent repair visit, the dealership service manager informed me that Stellantis engineers had not identified a permanent fix. The August 26 service documentation references manufacturer STAR engineering involvement and instructions to perform a system calibration. On October 19, 2026, another charging-system warning resulted in the vehicle returning to the dealership. The October 28 repair invoice documents charging-related fault codes, an Intelligent Battery Sensor issue, and a pin-fitment problem involving circuit D404. The dealership adjusted the connection and reported the vehicle was operating as designed. I retrieved it on October 31. Despite repeated repair attempts and manufacturer involvement, I have experienced recurring serious electrical malfunctions. I remain concerned that the vehicle could unexpectedly lose propulsion or shut down again while driving, potentially causing a collision or serious injury. I request that the federal safety agency investigate these safety-related failures and determine whether other vehicles are affected. Stellantis has denied my three repurchase requests despite repeated safety failures and my ongoing concerns about driving.

I am reporting a serious recurring safety issue with my 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition, leased new in July 2025. Over approximately 15 months, I have experienced at least 5–6 incidents of severely reduced acceleration while stopped at traffic lights, intersections, or in heavy traffic. When attempting to move forward, the vehicle barely responds to the accelerator. Even with substantial pressure on the pedal, it moves only at an extremely slow crawl, making it impossible to accelerate normally or safely keep up with traffic. Every incident has been accompanied by the dashboard message "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon," usually along with turtle, red wrench, and lightning bolt warning symbols. I have sometimes managed to creep out of traffic to a safer location, where I shut off the vehicle and waited before restarting. On several occasions, multiple restart attempts were necessary before normal acceleration returned. These failures create a serious collision risk because motorists expect traffic to move when signals change. I fear being struck from behind or stranded in an intersection. The vehicle has undergone four dealership service visits. In August 2025, I reported that it would not move and displayed a shutdown warning. In September 2025, Bedford Jeep consulted Stellantis engineering and reproduced warning symptoms under deliberately induced test conditions, but not the spontaneous acceleration failure. Additional software updates were performed in May 2026. In October 2026, the vehicle became completely inoperable despite a 67% battery charge and required towing. The dealer confirmed a failed 12-volt battery and performed further repairs. I have dashboard photographs documenting warnings at 2,183 and 8,537 miles. The vehicle is available for inspection. Despite multiple dealership visits, my safety concerns remain unresolved. I request that the federal safety agency investigate this recurring propulsion safety issue.

The AEB sensor came on malfunctioned. The safety of others is if it doesn’t stop breaking could cause a collision. The vehicle has been in the shop since August 20 and still not fixed. The component has just been inspected or in the process of being inspected by a star technician so I was told from Selantis today. there’s been problems with the battery with the front sensor not functioning properly.

This vehicle has experienced the same or substantially similar serious safety-related malfunction on three separate occasions. The vehicle becomes unable to engage gear or move and also will not shut down normally. The first incident occurred in XXX in a parking garage in [XXX]. The vehicle powered on but would not engage gear or move and would not shut down. Operation was eventually restored following an electrical reset involving the 12-volt battery. The second incident occurred on XXX, while the vehicle was in my driveway. The vehicle again would not properly engage gear or move and would not shut down normally. An electrical/high-voltage system reset was required before the vehicle became operational again. The third and most serious incident occurred on XXX, at approximately 8:00 p.m. on a highway shoulder near the RFK Bridge in [XXX]. After stopping on the shoulder, I attempted to leave but the vehicle again would not engage gear or move and would not shut down normally. I was therefore stranded on the side of a highway. Police responded and remained behind my vehicle because of the hazardous location while I attempted to restore operation. The vehicle eventually became operational again following an electrical reset. I am concerned that the vehicle can unexpectedly become immobilized and unable to engage Drive or Reverse and may also remain powered on and unable to shut down. Stellantis technical documentation for 2024-2025 Jeep Wagoneer S vehicles describes similar electronic park/pawl faults including DTCs P1E18-00, P1625-00 and [XXX]. I have requested that Stellantis investigate these conditions. The recurring nature of this defect, particularly the XXX incident requiring police assistance creates a serious safety concern. I am requesting that the federal safety agency document and investigate this recurring defect and determine whether other Jeep Wagoneer S vehicles have experienced the same condition.

Since July 2025, this vehicle has suffered from severe, recurring electronic and software glitches that critically affect driveability and safe operation. While driving, multiple critical warnings display on the instrument cluster indicating that the airbags are inoperable. Following or during these warnings, the vehicle experiences sudden power/system disruptions, after which the windshield wipers activate automatically on their own, and the turn signals completely stop working. These compounding electrical faults pose a severe safety hazard. Despite manufacturer software recalls issued for instrument panel and electrical system failures (such as Stellantis/FCA Recall Campaign 39D / the federal safety agency ID 26V262), the software patches have failed to resolve these dangerous operational glitches, and the vehicle continues to malfunction unpredictably.

The vehicle is unsafe; it freezes while driving leaving one unable to navigate in any way. Everything ceases at once - nothing works, you can't put it into P/D/R/N, it won't accellerate or turn off. It just freezes, won't drive, won't turn off, completely locks up either while parked (the safer version) or while driving (completely unsafe, imagine being in a moving vehicle with no control at all?). Please don't ignore this - look at social media where hundreds, if not thousands of people are reporting the same exact event. It has happened to me alone 3x. Jeep claims they have no fix for it yet they aren't recalling the vehicle which is reckless. Please make them accountable and keep our highways safe!

When driving the vehicle the on board screen randomly shuts down and restarts while in motion. During this process it changes all of the driving settings and turns off the automatic braking, and the vehicle accelerates with out touching the accelerator. This has happened numerous times and it has been to the dealership 4 times with out any changes.

Turned on car in garage and sounded like it was in gear but wouldn’t shift into any gear and all the warning lights in the dash came on. Had to be pulled out of garage by tow truck and towed to dealership where it has been since May 12.

Was driving on a side street when the following warnings appeared: "Stop Safely – Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon", "Service Electric Vehicle System" , Wrench warning light. Immediately attempted to pull to the side of the road. Once stopped, the vehicle completely froze and became inoperable. The vehicle had to be towed to Shaver Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in Thousand Oaks, California.The same safety-related failures are being reported not only in the Jeep Wagoneer S, but also in the Dodge Charger Daytona, which shares the same STLA Large EV platform/These warnings on the Wagoneer S and Charger EVs indicate a critical fault detected in the vehicle's high-voltage or 12-volt electrical system, frequently stemming from a software glitch, a loose 12V terminal, or communication errors between the battery control modules. . This suggests the issue may be a broader platform-level software or electrical defect rather than an isolated problem with our vehicle. This is now the third occurrence of the same issue within the past year. Stellantis has been unable to diagnose and permanently correct a known defect.
