Sample complaint excerpts
Electric Propulsion
- [2024] 2024 Jeep Wagoneer EV has recurring electrical/propulsion faults with turtle (reduced power/limp mode) and wrench warning light, causing sudden loss of acceleration and reduced power. This has happened while driving on the highway, making the vehicle feel unsafe and unreliable; I was nearly in an accident when it would not accelerate. Vehicle has been to the dealer at least five times and has been
- [2024] With only 611 miles on the odometer, and [10] days old while driving the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S, out of nowhere started to systematically shut down while driving, causing a complete loss of power. Vehicle had to be towed to the dealer from which I purchased here in Phoenix Arizona. It has now been 36 days consecutively in the shop and the dealer is unaware what needs to be done to fix it. STAR has
- [2025] The vehicle has experienced two critical drivetrain failures. The first occurred in December 2025 at approximately 2,000 miles. The transmission failed, leaving the vehicle undriveable and requiring a tow. After repair, the vehicle was returned still displaying brake-system service warnings and had to go back to the dealer a second time. The second failure occurred on March 23, 2026 at 3,471 miles
High-Voltage Battery
- [2024] A B.E.V. has an estimated range- and the manufacturer claims up to 300 miles range in great conditions. They never pinpoint what the range is in cold climate. The only data I can find is they admit to it being "less". I am part of a large forum for this platform. I have heard several complaints on range in the cold. They all are experiencing less than 50% of the 300 advertised miles. 120-140 seem
- [2025] This vehicle has experienced three separate safety failures within only a few months of ownership. Incident 1: While driving with my children in the vehicle, the battery warning light illuminated and the vehicle immediately entered a low-power “turtle mode,” rapidly losing speed in traffic. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. Incident 2: While traveling approximately 60 mph, the hood
- [2025] The most recent occurrence happened on January 20, 2026. This was not the first time this issue occurred. During a prior incident involving the same loss of accelerator response and unpredictable vehicle behavior, my small children were passengers in the vehicle and became visibly distressed and worried. During the most recent incident on January 21, 2026, while driving through an intersection, t
12V Auxiliary Battery
- [2024] At 2,000 miles car experiences an issue when going from drive to reverse the car issued warning that transmission needs to be serviced, wouldn’t go into any gear and wouldn’t turn off. Had to be dragged into flatbed truck and taken to dealer. At 3,000 miles had to stop in road due to medical helicopter and road being closed. When road opened up went to put car into drive. Same errors as before
- [2025] The car died/bricked up 2 days ago 7 days after owning the vehicle. They said it was a cell in the 12 volt battery. Just picked it up and drove it for 30 minutes it threw up a turtle error and jerked forward a few times Almost hit a pedestrian and a car in front of me. I parked it and getting it towed. It seems according to other owners these things are all bad.
Source: classified from NHTSA complaint and recall data. "Battery-related" includes high-voltage propulsion battery, charging system, hybrid drivetrain, electric propulsion, regenerative braking, 12V auxiliary battery, and thermal-event complaints. Other complaints (suspension, steering, brakes, infotainment) appear in the engine and vehicle-level sections. Rates are absolute counts, not normalized per-VIN — high-volume models naturally produce more raw complaints than low-volume ones. Self-reported death and injury counts are capped per complaint to limit form abuse.
