There are 3 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2022 Jeep Wagoneerin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
This vehicle is not equipped with an Auto High Beam feature. The result of this is that when the Headlights are in Auto Mode, the Manual control of the High Beams is disabled. Most people leave their headlights in Auto mode to ensure that they dont forget to turn them on or off, but then the high beams are inoperable. This can pose a significant safety concern when you consider that when someone is driving and needs the use of the high beams they have to take their eyes off the road to fumble around with the headlight dial so they can turn it to manual to enable the use of the high beams.
When the master lighting switch is set to the auto position, the high beam headlights will not activate unless the master lighting switch is first changed to the ‘on’ position. This is the same as the recall for the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L which was issued in approximately October 2021. I figured this out when I was searching the internet for why my high beam lights were not working. It should be noted that I just recently purchased this vehicle and am the second owner.
When opening any door to the vehicle, the interior lights will stay on for 90 seconds and then go off. And will only come back on if the key fob unlock button is pressed, or if you climb into the vehicle and initiate the lights "on" button overhead. I've had the vehicle to 2 different Wagoneer certified dealers and they both have confirmed the behavior of the vehicle. We've been in pursuit with Jeep for a fix for a year, and it has not been fixed. It is a safety issue because when the interior lights go out, and I'm loading items or children into my vehicle with the doors open at night, oncoming and surrounding traffic cannot see me, as my car is completely dark. This leaves myself, my children and vehicle extremely vulnerable, not to mention it's extremely difficult to navigate what you're doing in the vehicle when the lights are off. 90 seconds is too short of a time window for the lights to stay illuminated.
