This page covers 6 recalls and 38 owner complaints for the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S.
Electrical system complaints dominate owner reports for the 2025 Wagoneer S, and the issues described are wide-ranging. Owners frequently report cascading warning messages appearing simultaneously, covering stability control, transmission, blind spot monitoring, and the EV system, sometimes followed by the vehicle stopping unexpectedly or refusing to shift into gear. Several owners describe the car becoming unresponsive at startup or shutdown, including doors that won't open and the vehicle failing to power off normally. Forward collision avoidance draws the next-highest complaint volume, with owners reporting the system activating unexpectedly or throwing warnings during normal driving, and at least some accounts describe a loss of braking response accompanying those alerts. A smaller number of powertrain complaints involve gear engagement failures and related service notices. Charging reliability also surfaces across multiple reports, with owners describing DC fast charging falling well short of advertised speeds or failing to complete reliably.

Total Complaints
By System
The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S has 6 recalls, the most serious involving a park pawl spring that may not hold the vehicle in Park, allowing it to roll away when the driver leaves it unattended.
Two recalls affect crash protection. The instrument panel uses an incorrect structural cross beam that may not adequately restrain occupants in a crash. There is also a software error that can cause the instrument panel display to go blank, taking gear selection indicators and warning lights with it. On the towing side, a faulty trailer tow module can cause trailer lights to stop working and trailer brakes to fail, reducing visibility and stopping ability for vehicles behind the trailer. A liftgate hinge cover that is not properly clipped can detach while driving and become a hazard for following traffic. Finally, the headlight aim adjustment points are not accessible or covered as designed, which can prevent proper aiming and either reduce the driver's forward visibility or produce glare for oncoming drivers.
