Jeep problems by model year

What Jeep owners report to NHTSA, year by year, with the service bulletins, recalls and repairs that fit. Pick a model year.

Each bar is the owner complaints on file with NHTSA for that model year. NHTSA has no sales count, so a bigger bar may only mean more cars were sold. Do not use it to rank models.

A model year gets a page when it has 200 or more complaints on file. 24 other Jeep model years with recalls have fewer, so they are not listed.
