ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S?
The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S enters the market without federal crash-test data. No sibling years of the Wagoneer S appear in the NHTSA record. The vehicle's Safety Index rating is "Light burden," which places its combined recall and complaint volume in the lower range among vehicles tracked by this publication. This rating is given despite two recalls and a notable complaint trend. A significant safety recall addresses an incorrectly installed spring in the park pawl. This defect could allow the electric vehicle to roll unexpectedly when parked. A separate brake light recall affects a broader multi-model population and warrants immediate attention. Owner complaints for the 2025 Wagoneer S predominantly concern the electrical system, with 32 of 43 unverified allegations pointing to this area. This pattern is consistent with a first-model-year electric vehicle as it accumulates real-world operational data.
