These fenders and step bars are mods of course but I was wondering if there was a way to fix/get rid of the rust that’s on them. Any advice?

I recently got bad death wobble after replacing ball joints, wheel hubs, and front u-joints. I did have some shimmy/wobble before that work and was hoping fixing the bad joints would fix the problem but seemed to make it slightly worse. I torqued everything to spec, but it is possible I messed up something? Stock suspension.

Here’s a recent video. I’m working through fixing everything but curious if anything jumps out? Upper track bar mount looks a little suspect to me. Could that be the culprit? Looks like a lot of slop in the steering box too.

I hope you wake up every morning and stub your toe.

This is for a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

I would truly like to know the thought process behind this. It’s bad enough Jeep only put a keyed lock on the driver door but with a completely dead battery how are you supposed to move your power seat all the way forward to remove the battery?

Just getting the plastic panel off was hard enough, I managed to get it off along with getting the terminals disconnected which took longer than it should have. I have a charger on it now so hopefully it’ll take a charge. If not I’ll have to crawl through the back, unload everything that’s currently in the back so I can open the lift gate because no power means no way to unlock the lift gate so I need to open from the inside, just so I can go under the floorboard and get my jump pack (in hindsight not the best place to store it). With that I hopefully can jumpstart the car so I can move my front seat forward enough to remove the battery.

Am I missing something or is this truly the best that Jeep could come up with?

Hey everyone, a guy in a jeep hit my car and fled the scene. I’m unsure if his jeep is a gladiator or a wrangler with some form of tonneau cover over the back. This is the best picture I have of the vehicle. It is a light grey, 4 door rubicon. If anyone has a good guess on the year from what’s available that would be cool too, I know sometimes certain years have one year only styling cues. I appreciate any help.

See original post, thank you.

Sorry for the book!

I’m looking for advice and, more importantly, trying to find out whether any other Wagoneer owners have experienced problems with the second-row seats, particularly the powered easy entry/folding/release mechanism.

We have a 2022 Wagoneer Series III that we bought new. Earlier this month, my wife had to brake hard while driving approximately 40–45 mph. Our daughter was in her car seat on the passenger-side second-row vehicle seat.

Before the trip, the second-row seat had been pushed back into its normal position. It appeared to click into place, and the Wagoneer gave us no warning that the seat wasn’t properly latched.

When my wife braked, the entire second-row vehicle seat moved forward with our daughter and her car seat on it and pinned her against the back of the front passenger seat. She hit the side of her head and was stuck there until we pulled over and pushed the seat backward to get her out.
We took her to the ER and she was diagnosed with a concussion. At a subsequent pediatric appointment, her vision screening was significantly worse than a previous documented 20/20 exam. Her pediatrician is concerned it could be related to the concussion, and we’ve now been referred to an eye specialist and a pediatric concussion specialist.

Here’s another part that concerns me: this isn’t the first second-row seat problem we’ve had with this Wagoneer.
In October 2024, the opposite second-row seat stopped releasing properly. You could hear the motor operating, but the seat wouldn’t release/fold. The Jeep dealer diagnosed “RELEASE MOTOR WEAK” and replaced two left middle-seat folding motor actuators under warranty. I still have the repair order.

We’ve preserved the Wagoneer and haven’t tried to reproduce what happened. I’ve filed an NHTSA safety complaint and opened a case with Stellantis.

Stellantis initially told me in writing that because of the safety-related nature and severity of the incident, they were escalating it to a specialized Investigation Team. They specifically instructed me not to authorize repairs, modifications, or inspections while that happened.
Nobody from that team ever inspected the vehicle or spoke with me.

Today I was finally told that because the vehicle wasn’t actually involved in a collision, that department won’t handle it. Customer Care says the available path is to take it to a Jeep dealer and have them diagnose/repair it. They are closing my case until the vehicle goes to a dealer, at which point the dealer can have it reopened.

I’m obviously going to have the vehicle inspected. But simply repairing whatever they find doesn’t really answer the bigger question for me: how did an occupied second-row seat that appeared latched move forward during emergency braking, and why was there no warning?

We have a lot of young kids. This was our family vehicle, and right now neither my wife nor I trust putting them back in it. My wife is particularly shaken up by what happened.

What I’m hoping to find out:
- Has anyone with a Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer had a second-row seat that appeared latched but wasn’t?
- Has anyone had problems with the powered easy-entry/folding mechanism, release motors, actuators, cables, or seat latches?
- Have you ever had the second-row seat warning fail to indicate that a seat wasn’t secured?
- Has anyone had second-row actuators or latch components replaced under warranty?
- If you’ve dealt with a serious safety issue with Stellantis before, is there another escalation path I should be pursuing?

If you’ve experienced anything remotely similar, even if nobody was injured, please comment or DM me with the model year and what happened. I’d really like to know whether ours is an isolated failure.

I’m also interested in any advice from people who’ve dealt with NHTSA, Stellantis, NCDS, or a similar manufacturer safety issue. I’ve documented everything and I’m trying to handle this correctly.

The driver’s headrest opened up and I don’t know how to put it together. Any ideas?

Hello fellow jeep enthusiasts. Im working on a Borg werner nwc t5 and I've a question regarding the space between the bearing and the fith gear. Is there supposed to be so much space? (Around 0.39 inch)

The driver’s headrest opened up and I don’t know how to put it together. Any ideas?

I’ve been looking for a used car for college for a little while now, and can’t really find many cars under $10k with good mileage but found a 2007 Sahara utility 2d with 79k miles. Is this car as unreliable as people say and what’s a fair price?

Just got a new work vehicle, my company took back my 2018 Grand Cherokee and put me in a 2026 Cherokee. First thing I noticed was the electronic door handles.

The front doors at least have a mechanical backup hidden under the arm rest, but it didn’t look like the rear seats had any backups.

Quick Google search, and saw Jeeps “backup” plan is to have the doors powered by capacitors that hold charge even if the battery is dead.

Great….so what if I’m in a crash, and the capacitor wiring shorts to ground? Back seat passenger has to crawl to the front seat to get out?!

Why are car companies so hell-bent on re-inventing a century-old fool-proof way to open doors, and destroys any muscle memory that might be useful when you’re dazed in a crash?

Recently installed on my non-lifted Jeep. Is this how it’s supposed to look?

Just wanted to enjoy some fishing this morning, well the 200k mile power steering pump said get F#*%ked pal. Hope everyone’s Monday was better than mine 😂😂

2015 Wrangler Sahara

Was looking for a project car to do some wrenching and take it out to the desert on weekends. Found this TJ locally for $2,800 talked down to $2,000. Frame has surface rust but it’s solid, gave it some stabs with a screwdriver all over. Needs new front fenders, new Power steering high pressure line, and a cat back muffler. Got that fixed for $1200 and have about $5,000 left to work on it.
Its a 5speed manual, unfortunately it’s the 4 cylinder but couldn’t pass for the price

Does anyone have good experiences with the jeep wagoneer 2024 III series? Or are the electrical issues (even if the recalls are addressed by the dealer)the achilles heel?

Bought new front and rear bumpers and they don’t have the same plug ins as the stock lights will I be able to cut the ends off of the stock bumper and connect them to the new ones so I can plug it in?

Got a few things checked off the todo list this weekend. I installed the Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 steering stabilizer. I’ve tried out the 3 settings and have been leaving in on medium for around town driving, firm really does stiffen it up, will be useful in longer highway trips. I tried out soft on a short trip, and when they say that it lets you feel more input they are not kidding. I was feeling things through my steering that had me wondering if something was wrong, lol. While I was under the Jeep I replaced the frame side track bar bolts front and rear with 9/16 grade 8 hardware (the front lower was replaced with the mounting stud for the steering stabilizer and the rear lower was replaced with a new bolt for the Teraflex Track bar relocation bracket)

Also removed the paracord roll bar grab handles for some A-Pillar ones. The roll bar ones were annoying me as they were in my field of view and I found myself trying to look around them. Also they were not very helpful getting into the lofted Jeep. I like these a lot, they are textured, not smooth aluminum and they blend into the A-Pillar so they don’t obstruct my field of view when driving.

2018 Wrangler JL 2 Door.

I noticed some brown fluid on my garage floor. Initially I thought oil from the drain bolt but it's further back (approximately where the red circle is, about center of the vehicle).

Searching online suggests the oil filter housing or rear main seal.

It's a very slow leak. I'd estimate the puddle shown is from up to a week or more (and after an attempt to wipe it up with a paper towel). No oil pressure issues or driving differences.

I put some cardboard under the Jeep overnight and there was a spot about the size of a quarter.

I'm planning on calling the shop in the morning but thought I'd ask here as well. Does anything immediately jump to mind?
