I leased a new 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S (electric) on 11/10/2025. Since taking delivery, the vehicle has repeatedly and unpredictably disabled critical driver-assistance and safety systems while in motion, and has on multiple occasions warned that it would shut down while driving. Specific safety-related incidents: On multiple occasions, the vehicle's forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and Auto Hold have all intermittently and simultaneously disabled themselves while driving, with no warning and no ability to re-enable them except by fully powering the vehicle off and on, or disconnecting the 12V battery. This has occurred repeatedly since November 2025 and continues as of July 2026. On July 10, 2026, the instrument cluster displayed "Vehicle speed may be limited" and "Stop Safely, Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" while I was driving. The vehicle's speed dropped to near zero. I was not near a charging station and the battery was not depleted. I performed a manual 12V battery disconnect myself to restore function and drove the vehicle home, rather than wait for a tow truck, because I was concerned about being stranded. On May 21, 2026, at 6,013 miles, the vehicle displayed a "Service Electric Vehicle System" warning and limited my speed to approximately 5 MPH while driving, with an estimated 205 miles of range remaining and the battery at 70%. I have also experienced at least two complete breakdowns while driving during evening rush-hour traffic (May and June 2026), requiring roadside recovery. The vehicle has been in for dealership service at least 7 times since delivery, with under 5,000 miles on it as of March 2026. One single repair (February 28 – May 27, 2026) kept the vehicle out of service for approximately 79 consecutive days. The selling dealer has confirmed it employs only one technician qualified to service electric vehicles. I have since obtained the vehicle's pre-delivery service history and found that the dealership performed
