2022 Jeep Wagoneer seats problems

Filed Aug 3, 2026 · Seats · SC · 1 injury

The right second row passenger seat in a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer appeared to be pushed fully rearward into its normal seating position and produced an audible/tactile click. No warning lamp or message indicated that the seat was not latched. While traveling approximately 40 to 45 mph, the driver had to brake hard. During braking, the entire right second row seat moved rapidly forward and pinned a child and the child restraint against the front passenger seat. The child struck the side of her head, was evaluated in an emergency department, and was diagnosed with a mild concussion. After the vehicle stopped, the seat was pushed rearward only to free the child. It then latched and is currently available for inspection. The seat has not been tested or operated since. The exact cause is UNKNOWN. Possible causes include incomplete latch engagement, a latch or actuator malfunction, or a failure of the seat position warning system. The vehicle has a prior documented warranty repair involving the opposite second row seat. In October 2024, that seat’s motor could be heard operating but the seat would not release. The dealer diagnosed a weak release motor and replaced two folding seat motor actuators under warranty. The current failure has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer. The vehicle and seat have not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurer, or an independent repair facility. Photographs, hospital records, and the prior warranty repair record are available. A case has been opened with Stellantis.

We bought this vehicle in July. And noticed the middle seat stopped reclining forward and backward. It it stuck in the upright position. I looked online and saw a recall, (the federal safety agency 21V‑919 / Recall Y86) concerning the second-row center 2nd row bench seat recliner pull strap, which could bind and prevent the seatback from locking upright, violating safety standards; dealers fix this by adjusting or replacing the strap mechanism. My VIN does not have this recall, but these describe the conditions of the seat, the make, model, and year of the vehicle as well.

Seat folds down and ven when someone is in the seat. My son gets crushed constantly by the seat because of the the button. They’re has to be a way that seats don’t fold when someone is sitting in second row. It’s happened several times since we got it.

The drivers side seat does not retain memory and will randomly start moving while driving down the road. My car has been in repair for over 9 weeks during 5-6 separate visits. No fix in place other than a software update that doesn’t have a ETA. The dealership isn’t working the moving while driving because they can’t replicate the issue.

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

The display in the dashboard loses power leaving the driver unable to control navigation, climate, audio, Bluetooth and all other components controlled via the in dash display. Basically all of the car’s electrical functions are controlled via the display, so this is a problem. Also, the driver seat will completely recline itself and move all the way backwards after the vehicle is turned off. This causes the rear passenger to not have leg room when entering the vehicle. This electrical problem has happened at least 8 times in my vehicle.

The button that folds the second row seat is located right on top of the seat and easily accessible to my child, especially when sitting in a car seat (sitting higher). We had multiple incidents where my child pressed it while I was driving and came flying forward with tremendous force and hurting himself by the front seat. It’s an extremely easy button to press for any child and the seat folds with strong force. I had to put tape on the button so my kids shouldn’t be able to press it.
