Jeep Wagoneer won't start and interior lights stay on, despite being a brand new vehicle on Jeep Wagoneer

Problem overview

Some Jeep Wagoneer owners report experiencing starting issues, including the vehicle not starting and the interior lights remaining on. A dead battery is often cited as a common cause, where insufficient charge prevents the engine from starting and electrical components from functioning. Additionally, problems with the alternator may arise, leading to inadequate battery charging while the vehicle is running. Some owners also report starter failures, which can prevent the engine from turning over. Furthermore, the issue of interior lights staying on may be linked to a stuck door, a faulty dome light switch, a bad ground, a blown fuse, or a worn-out light switch. Given that these problems occur in a brand new vehicle, it is crucial for owners to seek inspection from a qualified mechanic or the dealership, as warranty coverage may apply for repairs related to faulty components or manufacturing defects.
