2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Lemon Law Case Study — Illinois
Five Repair Visits for Recurring Engine and Fuel System Defects on a 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Our clients purchased a 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer from James Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Illinois with only 43 miles at delivery. Over the following two years, the vehicle required five separate repair visits for a recurring check engine light, transmission shifting failure, oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter leak, and oil pan leak — ultimately resulting in a $30,000 Cash and Keep settlement.
Documented Repair Visits
April 9–29, 2024 (21 days)
The check engine light was on, and at one point the vehicle would not shift gears. While towing a boat, it intermittently displayed a 'Check Trailer' message.
October 24–25, 2024 (2 days)
The check engine light returned. A visible crack was also found on the second-row passenger side interior panel.
April 9–10, 2025 (2 days)
The check engine light returned for the third time. The vehicle was stuttering while driving.
May 8 – June 4, 2025 (28 days)
The check engine light returned for the fourth time. Technicians replaced the oxygen sensors and discovered a leak in the catalytic converter. Both components were replaced under warranty.
July 22 – August 4, 2025 (14 days)
The check engine light returned for the fifth time, and the vehicle was idling roughly. The intake air box was found improperly installed. Oil was dripping from the vehicle, traced to the oil pan on the right side.
Why This Jeep Grand Wagoneer Qualified as a Lemon
Illinois's Lemon Law (815 ILCS 380) sets specific thresholds that entitle a consumer to a buyback or replacement. This case satisfied multiple criteria:
- Engine: Required multiple repair attempts without permanent resolution.
- Transmission: Required multiple repair attempts without permanent resolution.
- Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act eligible: Federal warranty protection provided additional remedies.
