Overview

2024 Jeep Wagoneer

The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer is a large, three-row SUV designed for families and those needing significant passenger and cargo space. It offers a commanding presence and a comfortable ride, powered by a 3.0L 6-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. However, used shoppers should be aware of its 'Below Average' reliability rating. A critical recall concerning the driver's frontal airbag system and a high volume of Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) suggest potential systemic quality concerns that could impact long-term ownership satisfaction and potentially lead to higher repair costs.

Critical Failure Risk

A critical recall (24V199000) addresses a potentially improperly welded steering column control module, which can lead to the driver's frontal airbag not deploying. This is a severe safety risk.

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