This page covers 9 recalls and 21 owner complaints for the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S.
Complaints about the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S center heavily on electrical and software behavior affecting basic vehicle operation. Owners most frequently report the vehicle refusing to shift out of Park, with some describing the shifter becoming completely unresponsive across all gear positions. Related to this, several owners report unexpected acceleration at low speeds, particularly during parking maneuvers, where the vehicle moved beyond their intended input. Vehicle speed control complaints follow a similar theme, with owners describing the drivetrain behaving unpredictably relative to pedal input. A handful of reports also describe the vehicle entering a state where it could neither be turned off nor shifted into any gear, with the electronic parking brake engaging on its own, pedals becoming unresponsive, and the pedestrian warning chime sounding continuously while the vehicle sat stationary.

The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S has 9 recalls, the most serious involving a transmission park pawl spring that may not hold the vehicle in place after shifting to Park, creating a rollaway risk.
A faulty trailer tow module can cause trailer brake lights and turn signals to go dark and trailer brakes to stop working, leaving following drivers without warning when the vehicle slows or turns. A separate cluster of recalls covers the instrument panel display, where a software error can cause the screen to go blank entirely, taking gear selection indicators and warning lights with it. On the structural side, liftgate hinge covers may not be properly clipped in place and can detach while driving, becoming a road hazard for other vehicles. The headlights also have two concerns that amount to the same problem: the design leaves the horizontal aim adjustment exposed and the vertical adjustment inaccessible, so the headlights may not be properly aimed, reducing forward visibility or sending glare toward oncoming traffic.
