2023 Jeep Wagoneer electrical problems

Filed Nov 6, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · NH

The check engine light illuminated on my dashboard when I was driving with my family. On 4 separate occasions as I was coming to a stop, the vehicle unexpectedly shut off (driving at about 5 MPH). When it shut off, it shifted itself into Park and the parking brake was auto-applied. On each of the incidents, I was able to manually restart the vehicle by pushing the ignition button and shifting it back into Drive.

Vehicle will suddenly shut off in traffic. Will NOT start back up for 1-2 minutes. Control panel near gear selector will flash on and off message reading Hold brake and start button. Screen all black. This has happened 3 times this month. Car shut off in car wash, once started it would not shift from Park into Neutral or Drive for 60 seconds. When accelerating on expressway, vehicle will shake then message flashes on dashboard "Put in proper gas and oil". Happens weekly. Dealership of course cannot find any issues or replicate codes....very convenient. Bought new-2023 Jeep Wagoneer Series 2 Hurricane twin-turbo engine.

About a week ago, I received a warning that my lane management assist required servicing. As of Tuesday (10/06), as I slowed to a. Stop sign, my car started beeping, put itself in park and turned off. It flashed a message that stated a restart was required. Then today, I was getting the same lane management warning and as I was stopped, my car did the same thing, threw me into park, put a bunch of different warning messages then said power steering requires service. I proceeded to drive home since I was about ten minutes away, shut my vehicle off for a few minutes and tried to restart it, the car would not restart. The vehicle had to then be towed to dealer for repair. Since purchasing the vehicle in 01/2024 I have had ongoing electrical issues and had to turn the vehicle in for service. But they have never found an underlying issue, they have just replaced batteries and cleared codes

When driving my vehicle suddenly shuts off the engine and puts the vehicle into park. This has happened multiple times now and everything shuts down, power steering, etc goes out and I’m afraid it will cause a serious accident.This seems very dangerous. Dealership tells me they don’t have any idea how to fix it

I recently had an oil change at the dealership I purchased the Wagoneer from. Three days after the oil change was completed, I was sitting at a stop light when the vehicle completely shut down, and the power steering went out. I started the vehicle back up and a power steering service notice popped up. That same day, the large central display screen kept flashing on and off, when it finally shut completely off. Six days later, I was driving home from work when I noticed the engine kept running up into the 6-7000 RPM's if I tried to drive over 40mph. I drove under 40mph the rest of the way home (about 10 minutes) and started noticing how loud the engine sounded and the temperature gauge was increasing. I was about 1 minute from home when my daughter and I could feel the heat coming from the engine inside the cab of the vehicle. It was so hot, I was concerned the vehicle was going to catch on fire. I parked it away from my home and called the dealership. They sent a tow truck and inspected it the next day. They stated the engine thermostat went out, and the auxiliary battery failed. There were never any warning lamps or messages displayed while this was happening. If I would not have been paying attention to the gauges and would have been further away from home, this vehicle could have overheated completely and potentially caught on fire putting my kids, myself, and others on the highway in danger. There was a Campaign Reference: 26B issued by Stellantis in April 2025 stating this exact issue and noting the repair to be performed, however, they only included specific Wagoneer's equipped with a 3.0L GMET6 engine. My engine is a 3.0L I6 Hurricane and was not included in the campaign, even though it is the exact same issue and this could have all been avoided.

Instrument panel dash frozen. instrument dash panel frozen at the screen where it says start/stop press brake to turn the vehicle on, we can’t see how fast we’re going when driving. This has occurred on multiple occasions. We’ve taken it to a Jeep dealership. Who reset the PCM but it does not resolve the issue.

Vehicle began to randomly shut off at low speed while moving, while stopped and also in park. Has not yet happened at high speeds. All occasions are at speeds of less than 5 mph, no MIL. Took to the dealership, diag of faulted aux battery. Battery replaced. Still very randomly will die in gear, at low to no speed, and also in park on occasion. Dealership update software of the BCM, PCM, and DCM. Returned to us with the same ongoing dying issue, returned to dealership, they did a wheel alignment, obviously didn't fix the dying issue. This vehicle carries my family, this will cause an accident as other traffic avoiding the vehicle has been the only factor in avoiding accident. No codes present. Vehicle is being refused to drive due to the uncertainty of when and where the vehicle will die randomly. This has happened numerous times over the last month, we will not accept the return of this vehicle until this problem is solved. This has so far ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED. Dealership has put many highway miles on it without replicating issue. It can be easily replicated by merely driving it from one parking spot to another or around a parking lot stopping and starting and traveling at speeds 5mph or less. This will happen at low to no throttle input. Vehicle will immediately start and run after being placed into park and hitting the start button, this is not the auto -start-stop feature working correctly. Dealership states this has only happened while pulling into a working bay at the dealership, unable to replicate results on the highway. It is currently the low speed dying that is the issue, this has been brought to the attention of the service dept on numerous occasions.

I purchased my 2023 Jeep Wagoneer new in March 2023. The vehicle has experienced multiple electrical/electronic safety-related failures. Beginning around Oct. 2024, the digital instrument cluster intermittently failed to load after startup, leaving me without critical information including vehicle speed and fuel level. I photographed this occurring numerous times and repeatedly reported it to the dealer. The cluster was eventually replaced in April 2026. The vehicle has also unexpectedly shut off more than once while slowing or coming to a stop at a stop sign or traffic light. In July 2026, the entire right-front exterior lighting system failed. The right headlight, daytime/running light, front turn signal and cornering light are all inoperative while the left side operates normally. The dealer replaced the complete right headlamp assembly in Aug. 2026, but this did not correct the problem. All right-front lighting remains inoperative. The odometer is also continuously flashing. The dealer has not determined the cause and says further diagnosis and Stellantis STAR technical assistance are required. As of Sept. 2026, the lighting failure has persisted for more than a month despite a repair attempt. I am concerned about the safety risks from loss of required exterior lighting/turn-signal function, prior loss of instrument-cluster information, and unexpected vehicle shutoffs. I do not know whether these conditions share the same underlying cause.
