Owner report 11463565 · 2022-05-05 (May 5, 2022)
On three separate occasions today, while driving on an interstate with the lane departure turned OFF, the Wagoneer seized up going from 75mph to mid 40mph quickly. The vehicle shuttered and went side to side a bit like it was reacting to lane departure. It was scary and I was almost rammed from behind once. It also started swaying and serving on occasion. Lane departure is off and it’s far Marie than normal lane departure movement which eases the vehicle back. Vehicle is going into service tomorrow.

Owner report 11472631 · 2022-07-06 (July 6, 2022)
We purchased this Grand Wagoneer on Mon June 27th and left for our family vacation we had planned in Oklahoma. We live in Castle Rock, Co. The next day on tuesday as we were driving on the I-35 the Transmission would drop out of gear and the rpm's would rev up. This would be while doing nothing but driving normally . Then it happened about 5 times over the course of 1.5 hours. We stopped for gas in and upon leaving to re enter the interstate the vehicle would kick when the gas was pressed. My definition of kicking is that the front end would k…

Owner report 11480995 · 2022-08-24 (August 24, 2022)
While I was driving at around 35 miles per hour and tried to stop in a short distance because of the “should I go or not” situation at the traffic light, the whole vehicle was shut off at a blink of an eye. Soon after I noticed it and tried to imitate the incident to make sure I wasn’t mistaken, it happened three time in a row. The incident can only be seen at night time when light from the headlight is visible since it happens so quick. It wasn’t just about headlight. The engine shut off and turned back momentarily as well. Thankfully each eve…
