Overview

2023 Jeep Wagoneer

The 2023 Jeep Wagoneer is a large, three-row SUV designed for capability and comfort. For the used car buyer, however, its appeal is tempered by a concerning reliability record. Multiple recalls, particularly those affecting safety systems like the driver's airbag, alongside a high volume of Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), suggest potential underlying quality control issues. While it boasts strong safety ratings in frontal and side impacts, a lower rollover score warrants attention. Its 5.7L V8 engine paired with all-wheel drive delivers robust performance but comes with significant fuel costs.

Critical Failure Risk

Recalls indicate potential issues with the steering column control module, leading to driver airbag non-deployment. Additionally, B-pillar trim can interfere with side curtain airbag deployment.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
