What NHTSA data shows for Jeep

Across the 10 Jeep models with enough data to count (model years 1995–2022), NHTSA has 106,515 owner complaints on file and 370 recall campaigns. The most-reported components across the make are electrical system (16,294), transmission and drivetrain (13,913), engine (9,827). The Jeep Grand Cherokee has the most complaints of any Jeep, with 37,265. Data as of 2026-10-12.

Complaint counts rise with how many of a model were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a big number mostly means a common car. The useful part is what fails: when the top complaint is electrical system, read our guide to selling a car that doesn't run before you take an offer.
