Major issues with the collision avoidance system - blind spot sensors continue to fail and shut off sporadically, or sensors in the mirror light up making you think you are about to hit someone when no one is near your vehicle. Has also shut down collision avoidance system and dinged multiple errant warnings for 3-5 minutes so badly we had to pull over and restart the vehicle. Additionally, the vehicle shakes in the steering wheel and passenger front seat intermittently between approximately 65-77 mph. They told us it was bad Nexen tires so we paid ~$1k to replace them and they replaced a defective rim. Vehicle is still having the same issues. This started at just over 2k miles. Vehicle was purchased in May 2022. Vehicle has been in the shop 4 times now and over 30 days to attempt repairs on the same issues. I do not feel safe driving my family in this vehicle. The Series III Wagoneer loaner that dealership just provided (with under 3k miles) is also having the same shaking / vibration issue and failure of the navigation system, but the shaking and vibration in the loaner is worse than in ours.

Driving approximately 30 miles/hour (estimated) the car started the process of shutting down and then shut down - while moving. The lights flickered on the dash board but don't recall exactly what the indicators were. We were able to pull over to the side of the road, although not entirely off of the road. It was 11:00 PM. This is a safety issue because my family was in the car while it was moving and shut down while moving. We bought the car approximately 10 days prior to this happening and it had 17 miles on it when we bought it brand new.

Vehicle had one warning light about tire pressure. Tire pressure tested fine. Began to drive. 30 minutes later every light on the dash lit up and vehicle stopped in an intersection and almost caused multiple accidents. Vehicle was finally towed by police and after a month in the shop they said it was a dead battery. But it died while the vehicle was driving and alternator should have been charging it.

After Performing an Auto start, I unlocked doors with keyfob and placed a child in my vehicle. when I shut the door, the vehicle locked the doors with child inside and I was unable to unlock the doors with the Keyfob for approx 5 mins. I eventually was able to get the rear hatch to open using the keyfob and was able to get my child out of the vehicle. The temperature outside was over 100 degrees. Had the vehicle not unlocked and the auto start feature turned the vehicle off the livelihood of my children being trapped in the vehcile in that heat could have been fatal. There were no alarms, nor warning lamps or messages present after i was able to get in and finally turn the vehicle on by pressing the brake and pushing the ignition button. At this time, the dealer states it is an unknown cause, with no diagnostics shown for what happened. They have not been able to reproduce the situation. vehicle has been inspected by the Dealership Service dept.

On 4/19/22, the car was driven for more than 175 miles from Bozeman, MT to Sheridan, MT and back. We started the car up on 4/21/22 and the battery was dead. The dealership has claimed that we needed to drive the car longer distances in order to charge the battery fully. This is not the case as we drove it for a long period of time and the battery still died. The dealership, Billion Auto Group refuses to give us a new battery because they have told us that the battery was not able to be replaced by their warranty guidelines. This is the fourth time the car has been in the dealership for the same issue. There is an inherent safety risk if we were not near a dealership to come and jump the vehicle to get the car back to driving condition to be then driven to the dealership for repair. This is a KNOWN issue and Chrysler refuses to change out the battery or buy the car back. It is a lemon car under Montana law. Ref: Technical Service Bulletins https://

On 6/9/22, we drove for a total of 3 hours, over 200 miles During the drive, the entire console went out and rebooted twice. We were on the freeway driving at high speed when this happened. The next morning, we go to start the vehicle, the battery was completely drained. Dealership claims the lights were left on, but it wasn't. This is the fifth time the car has been at the dealership for battery/ electrical issues. When we were driving, there was nothing displayed on the dash for a total of 10 minutes until it had rebooted twice. This could have caused an accident as we didn't have any electrical input on the dash and console. The dealership didn't try to replicate the problem. They simply re-charged the battery and told us the vehicle was fixed again. We've contacted Chrysler corporate with this issue and there's an open case regarding these serious safety issues. The local police are aware of this issue as this is an ongoing issue with the vehicle and our safety was at risk.

Driving my vehicle home it was hard to turn and back wheels were locked out and not turning. After turning on and off vehicle SERV 4WD came on and manual said to get it in for service. Also, Uconnect and heat seaters stopped working. After having it towed at 2&1/2 mo old into dealerships service dept, was told by wagoneer client services that this wheels lock out is a common issue they are having and requires system updates, rear diff fluid drain and replace, and they will be doing a Cam sensor replacement while its in for a known issue with that(also not a recall), and the Uconnect and seat heaters intermittently not working they don't have an ETA yet for. The wheels locking out and not working with kids in the car is super scary. And if its a known issue they need to be doing a recall before someone gets into a serious accident. Not ok.
