If you’re looking for a reliable luxury SUV, you might want to avoid the Jeep Wagoneer.
Here’s what TikTok users thought after the patch:@invertedcamshafts) posted a video of a Jeep Wagoneer being completely disassembled in their shop, shocking users by showing the extent of the repair work required on the vehicle.
The video has the text overlaid on it: “Brand new Jeep Wagoneer with under 8,000 miles for $100,000.” The warning message is superimposed on footage of a large, three-row SUV suspended in the air inside the store.
As the mechanic steps back, it becomes clear that the underside of the vehicle has been separated like a giant Lego truck. The further back the mechanic steps, the more detail of the vehicle’s disassembly becomes apparent: the hood is open, the driver’s front window is down, and the engine is covered in various wiring. The mechanic concludes the video by panning around to other parts of the vehicle that have been removed from the Wagoneer.
According to Kelley Blue Book, the base model Jeep Wagoneer has a list price of $64,945. However, some top-of-the-line models with additional specs and features can cost well over $100,000. For example: Located in Elmsford, New York On sale for $116,985.
A word of warning against choosing the Jeep Wagoneer as a luxury option
meanwhile Durability Guarantee While many luxury vehicles generally have low ratings when it comes to reliability, and the Jeep Wagoneer is no exception, some “luxury” brands say they are more trustworthy than others. Lexus, etc.“The Jeep Wagoneer is one of the less reliable vehicles out there and should be avoided by anyone interested in buying a luxury vehicle. While it’s certainly a hot model in the SUV market, many of the 2023 and earlier models have been hit with numerous reported issues that can be very expensive to resolve,” the website said.

Someone has Wagoneer Fan There was a post on the forum from someone who had driven their car for 2,000 miles and then noticed their check engine light was on.
“If it works fine, ignore the light and keep driving. I have had the light go off after a few hundred miles on multiple occasions (i.e. the time and mileage will reset),” they wrote. While people mentioned some of the issues with the vehicle, some argued that many satisfied Wagoneer owners don’t post “good things” about their cars.
Problems with the Jeep Wagoneer
There was one owner Wagoneer Forum However, there were people on the site who were convinced their car was “riddled with problems” and they listed all the issues their car had had in just 1,000 miles of ownership.
“I truly wish I had never purchased the Jeep Wagoneer. It’s clear that there are quality issues. I would not recommend this to anyone asking about it,” they wrote.
The reported issues are:
- uconnect frequently disconnects from my Android phone.
- The heated seats frequently turn off (the manual says they maintain the temperature until you change it, which is incorrect), and in fact they won’t let you turn the heater back on until it thinks you’re ready, so you have to keep trying anyway.
- The spring loaded door that covers the console where the phone charger is has been broken since I received the car, and the dealer says it’s on “galaxy back order” so they don’t know when I’ll get it.
- The start/stop feature never worked from the start, I had to take it in for repair.
- The air suspension caused a check engine code to appear so I had to clear it.
TikTok users speak out
One TikTok user said he doesn’t understand why people trust and buy from Dodge, Jeep, Fiat and Chrysler: “Why are people still buying Chrysler?”
Another person quipped, “The guarantee is like ‘1.3 hours to accept or reject it,'”
Another person told us what they thought Jeep stood for: “Jeep…Just Empty Every Pocket.”
