2025 Jeep Wagoneer S: engine stalls while driving

Filed Jul 31, 2026 · Driver assistance · WA

I leased a new 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S (electric) on 11/10/2025. Since taking delivery, the vehicle has repeatedly and unpredictably disabled critical driver-assistance and safety systems while in motion, and has on multiple occasions warned that it would shut down while driving. Specific safety-related incidents: On multiple occasions, the vehicle's forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and Auto Hold have all intermittently and simultaneously disabled themselves while driving, with no warning and no ability to re-enable them except by fully powering the vehicle off and on, or disconnecting the 12V battery. This has occurred repeatedly since November 2025 and continues as of July 2026. On July 10, 2026, the instrument cluster displayed "Vehicle speed may be limited" and "Stop Safely, Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" while I was driving. The vehicle's speed dropped to near zero. I was not near a charging station and the battery was not depleted. I performed a manual 12V battery disconnect myself to restore function and drove the vehicle home, rather than wait for a tow truck, because I was concerned about being stranded. On May 21, 2026, at 6,013 miles, the vehicle displayed a "Service Electric Vehicle System" warning and limited my speed to approximately 5 MPH while driving, with an estimated 205 miles of range remaining and the battery at 70%. I have also experienced at least two complete breakdowns while driving during evening rush-hour traffic (May and June 2026), requiring roadside recovery. The vehicle has been in for dealership service at least 7 times since delivery, with under 5,000 miles on it as of March 2026. One single repair (February 28 – May 27, 2026) kept the vehicle out of service for approximately 79 consecutive days. The selling dealer has confirmed it employs only one technician qualified to service electric vehicles. I have since obtained the vehicle's pre-delivery service history and found that the dealership performed

The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate and stalled. An unknown service warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, turned off the vehicle and the vehicle was able to be restarted. On another occasion, while the vehicle was parked at the residence, the vehicle lost power, and the contact was locked inside the vehicle and was unable to open the doors. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and it was determined that a software update was needed. The software update was completed; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

Writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the vehicle I purchased approximately six months ago. Unfortunately, the vehicle has been in the service department for nearly five of those six months due to persistent and serious mechanical and electronic issues that have yet to be resolved, despite multiple attempts by the dealership and manufacturer. The most alarming issue is that the vehicle frequently stalls and then abruptly lurches forward, simulating the feeling of being rear-ended. This issue presents a significant safety risk not only to myself but to other drivers and pedestrians. I strongly believe this vehicle is unsafe to drive in its current condition. In addition, the onboard camera system activates randomly while driving. While this may not pose an immediate danger, it is yet another sign of the vehicle’s erratic and unreliable behavior. The dealership has sent out multiple engineers to inspect and diagnose the problem, but none of these efforts have resulted in a permanent fix. The defects remain unresolved, and the vehicle continues to be unsafe and undependable. I have made it clear that I no longer wish to have this vehicle returned to me, as I believe it is inherently defective. What is especially troubling is that despite being aware of these recurring safety issues, Stellantis continues to sell this model to new customers — effectively placing more unsuspecting drivers at risk. Furthermore, because this is an electric vehicle (EV), I incurred additional costs beyond the vehicle itself, including installation of a home charging station and a full upgrade to my home’s electrical system. The manufacturer has not offered to cover these costs, nor have they offered to remove the charger or restore the damage done to my home during installation, should the vehicle be returned or replaced. I am seeking a fair resolution that fully compensates me for the vehicle, the additional infrastructure costs, and any necessary restoration to

I am reporting ongoing, unresolved, and potentially dangerous issues with my [Year] Jeep [Model, Trim], related to the ECU, electrical system, and overall drivability. I just picked up the vehicle yesterday after it spent 31 days in service, during which the dealership pulled over 65 different codes. Despite this, the vehicle was returned to me with no true resolution, and within 24 hours of driving it again, it is now showing 23 additional new codes. The car has stalled while driving, creating an extremely unsafe situation. On several occasions, it refuses to start. At one point, the vehicle was stuck in drive for over 27 hours, making it unusable and unmovable. These issues are recurring and unpredictable, making the vehicle a clear safety hazard. I’ve contacted Jeep Customer Care repeatedly. My assigned case manager refuses to respond, and they will not assign me a new one. I’ve escalated requests to management multiple times and have been completely ignored. I am unable to get any assistance despite the seriousness of the issue. This vehicle is unsafe, unreliable, and I am left without a functional mode of transportation. I’m filing this complaint with the hope that it prompts further investigation into these vehicle failures and Jeep/Stellantis’ refusal to properly address them.
