ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer?
The 2022 Wagoneer carries a significant burden of nine recalls and 184 owner complaints. A recall addressing seat-belt buckle function is particularly concerning, as it directly compromises occupant restraint in a crash. Beyond this high-severity item, multiple campaigns address exterior trim, covering both quarter and door components. Electrical system issues dominate the complaint record with 106 reports. Furthermore, 26 complaints specifically cite problems with forward collision avoidance, a critical safety system. For reference, while the 2022 model itself was not assigned a Safety Index score, the 2023, 2024, and 2025 Wagoneer models achieved scores of 81, 83, and 91 respectively. These scores, however, are model-year specific and do not apply to the 2022 iteration.
