Case Overview

2024 Jeep Wagoneer S Repair Record: 5 Visits, 138 Days Off the Road

2024 Jeep Wagoneer S lemon law cash-and-keep settlement in Illinois: Easy Lemon recovered $20,000 for this client after 5 repair visits and 138 days out of service. The claim was brought under Illinois New Vehicle Buyer Protection Act (815 ILCS 380/1 to 380/7). When the same defect keeps coming back and the manufacturer cannot fix it, the owner may be entitled to a buyback, a replacement or a cash settlement, at no cost†.

This Jeep Wagoneer S returned to the dealer 5 times because of issues logged under electrical and HVAC. Our client leased it brand new in Illinois, and the dealer held onto it for a total of 138 days. The odometer read 1,230 miles at the first repair.

Easy Lemon pressed the claim with Jeep, which agreed to a cash-and-keep settlement worth $20,000. The amount combines two payments: one to our client and the attorney fees covered by the manufacturer. The owner kept the vehicle.

Repair History

2024 Jeep Wagoneer S Repair History: What the Repair Orders Show

Visit 1: April 18–May 2, 2025

  • Miles on dash was on and blinking.
  • Technician verified the concern, and the issue was corrected in 11A RSU.

Visit 2: May 12–July 9, 2025

  • The vehicle would not start.
  • No work was performed during this visit.

Visit 3: June 4–June 30, 2025

  • Alarms and lights went off on the vehicle and the battery eventually died.
  • High-voltage wiring was tested and replaced.
  • The vehicle was found with a depleted battery that required a jump-start.
  • The 12-volt battery passed the health check.
  • A scan revealed several stored low-voltage codes and an active code B12B4 for the internal charge status indicator module.
  • After consulting with STAR, the technician replaced the faulty charge status indicator module.
  • After the repair, the vehicle was powered back up, all codes were cleared, and a test drive verified proper operation.

Visit 4: August 8, 2025

  • Software update performed and the EVCU module was reprogrammed.

Visit 5: September 18–October 27, 2025

  • The vehicle was towed due to battery failure.
  • It was experiencing a no-start condition with no power present, so the 12-volt battery was removed for testing and failed; this led to its replacement.
  • After replacement, an intermittent draw of up to 16.0 amps was found.
  • A case was created with STAR, and engineering advised replacing the Electric Air Compressor (EAC), which was suspected to be causing the draw.
  • High-voltage power down, a loss of isolation test, and A/C system evacuation were performed in preparation for the EAC replacement.

Common Questions

2024 Jeep Wagoneer S Lemon Law Questions in Illinois

What are the Illinois lemon law standards for a Jeep Wagoneer S?
In Illinois, the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative business days out of service (the Illinois New Vehicle Buyer Protection Act, 815 ILCS 380/1 to 380/7). Remedies: Replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act also applies to written warranties in every state.
How much did this Illinois Jeep Wagoneer S case recover?
$20,000, paid as a cash-and-keep settlement. That figure includes our client's payment and the attorney fees Jeep paid. Results may vary. Prior outcomes do not guarantee a similar result.
Buyback or cash and keep: what is the difference?
A cash-and-keep settlement leaves the vehicle with the owner and pays cash. A buyback returns the vehicle to the manufacturer, which pays off the loan or lease and refunds the owner, less any use allowance permitted by state law.
Is there a fee to hire Easy Lemon for a Jeep Wagoneer S claim?
Nothing upfront. Fee-shifting statutes in lemon law cases generally put attorney fees on the manufacturer, and this client paid nothing out of pocket†.
