2022 Jeep Wagoneer: lane keeping assist jerks the wheel

Filed Feb 24, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · NC

During normal driving in temperatures below approximately 20–27°F, the vehicle began losing electrical charge as indicated by the malfunction indicator light (MIL) and battery warning message. While my wife was attempting to return home, multiple vehicle systems progressively shut down, including electric power steering, ABS, auto-leveling suspension, and lane departure assistance. As she was pulling into our driveway, the vehicle completely shut off, resulting in total loss of propulsion and power steering. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. This was the second occurrence of this failure. A third incident occurred the following day under similar temperature conditions. During that event, MIL and battery warnings appeared again during normal driving. She was able to reach our driveway before complete shutdown occurred. On the most recent incident, the following diagnostic trouble codes were present: P0EEC, P1618, P0008, and U0111. These are the same codes that were recorded during the previous two incidents. After the first two failures, Kernersville Dodge stated the issue had been repaired and charged us for the repairs. The same failure condition has now reoccurred. This failure results in sudden loss of propulsion and loss of power steering while driving, creating a significant safety hazard.

Purchased in Jan 2023 within a day we had to bring it back, hood latch open error, unconnect box error, lane assistance wouldn’t work. It went every week to the dealership for 2 and a half months; sensors have been replaced, electrical harness has been replaced, display has been replaced and the display still will just shut down and restart; the vehicle will just shut down and engage emergency brake when it was parked and has jumped the vehicle with this. Was then told we need a new co-ax cable we’ve been waiting on since April and the dealership won’t call us back. The air ride suspension is disabled now saying it won’t work due to payload but nothing is hooked to the vehicle. We’ve tried to shut the vehicle down and restart it and it won’t come out of it; the heated seats will randomly come on when it’s almost 90 degrees out and we’re getting the auto park engaged even though the car is already in park and we’ve shut it off, we have to restart the car change gears put it back in park and shut it off to get rid of the message
