Jeep Wagoneer Lemon Law

The Wagoneer was recalled for a rearview camera image that may not display, and the Wagoneer S is included in a recall over a trailer tow module that can disable trailer lighting and brakes. Owners also report electrical, infotainment, and drivability complaints on these technology-heavy, premium SUVs.

For a vehicle at this price point, repeated trips to the dealer for the same problems are exactly what the Lemon Law addresses.

A recall isn't automatically a lemon. But if a substantial defect can't be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, or your Wagoneer is out of service for an extended time, California's Lemon Law may entitle you to a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement — with the manufacturer paying your attorney fees.

A recall is not automatically a lemon — it's the manufacturer acknowledging a defect and offering a free repair. California's Lemon Law (the Song-Beverly Act) comes into play when a substantial defect can't be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, or when your Wagoneer has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days.

If your Jeep Wagoneer qualifies, you may be entitled to a buyback (a refund of what you've paid, minus a mileage offset), a replacement vehicle, or a cash-and-keep settlement — and Jeep pays your attorney fees on a successful claim, so pursuing your case costs you nothing out of pocket.
