Our problems started with getting a message that said "check user manual for proper fuel and oil" when we accelerated. We just thought that was a warning sign, discussed this with the car dealership, and we were indeed using the correct fuel. When on the interstate going 70mph the car started rocking back and forth with the check engine light turned on. Took it to the dealership and they said it was computer updates, whichever helped for a couple months and then we continued to get the same message. Throughout our entire year and a 1/2 having the car, our tailgate has managed to fail four times now.The trunk has opened while driving, having stuff fall on the highway. We have gotten stuck places with the trunk not being able to shut. While driving on the highway, the power steering light turned on and the wheel locked up, I had to coast off the road at a corner. We are at the point where we are now 5000 miles over our warranty, driving down the highway once again, and the car started overheating. It said the the oil temp was low, and the coolant temp was high, but had the proper amount of coolant and oil in the car just even had the oil changed. We let the car cool down and luckily were luckily we were a couple blocks from the dealership. Drove a little further and the car overheated again, so my husband literally pushed the car where I coasted down the road to the parking spot. Over the year and a half we have also had the AC fail multiple times along with the back up camera. Also, one morning woke up to the car being dead, no lights were left on. Dealership is being very shady. I told them we will be looking into a lawyer and now they won't give me any documentation about my car. They said it's a faulty thermostat and the engine possibly could be bad but they won't know until the thermostat is fixed. Car back latch is also failing again while it sits at the dealership. I refuse to pay for this car. It's not safe. Complete piece of crap.

My car recently hit 10k miles. We had a safe trip to Florida the week before no issues or signs of any issue. Two days ago I take my son to the pool at my mother in laws house and go to visit my parents and when I start to leave and pull out of the driveway my car stops and my steering wheel won-??t turn but a certain amount. So I had to pull back and try multiple times. Every time I turn the wheel a certain amount it starts to sound like something is slowly cracking under the car. And the car just stops moving if you try to turn the wheel too much. I continue on my way home in Canton, Ga from Woodstock, Ga which is about a thirty minute drive and I have to take wide turns in order to make any turn and not get stuck or stopped. Vehicle works fine going straight but I literally cannot turn my wheel to a certain point or the car stops. It is at the dealership now and they can-??t make it do the same thing day after they get into it but I sent them videos as it was happening because my neighbors had to help me park it in my driveway when I got home so I got it on recording how it stops and doesn-??t turn properly. I have videos I can provide it will not let me upload

2023 Jeep Wagoneer steering wheel became locked with alerts on the dashboard "Power Steering Unavailable Service Required." Thank GOD I parked in a parking lot when I went food shopping. This has happened twice before to my wife in the garage but no alerts came out. I spent two hours stuck and 1 hour waiting for a tow truck. It was a cold day and after the heat to the seats and steering were on, the steering became soft and I was able to steer the car home. I took car to dealership the next day and they gave me a loaner. Two days later I went to the dealership to find out what is going on. They said it may be up to six weeks to get a part. As per the rep who I know very well, she said there have been 59 reports across US and there are only 19 parts available. It is a module issue but it is built into the steering wheel column. I read other reports and they are scary [XXX] I had a problem with a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica owned by the same Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler manufacturer. I think the US gov needs to step in and dissolve this company and everyone return their vehicles and send a message to other car manufacturers.
