Manufacturer file
What the Jeep records can tell us
The Jeep file currently stops at 7 nameplates: Cherokee, Compass, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, Wrangler, Renegade. Those 59 model-year entries contain 25,075 owner complaints. The missing denominator matters because these records do not say how many vehicles were on the road.
Electrical System appears most often in the component tags, with 6,858 mentions. A single complaint may carry several tags. I use the total as a prompt to read that system's contract terms, not as odds that a repair will happen.
Across the same model years, NHTSA records show 411 recall campaigns and 26,660 manufacturer communications. Recall repairs are handled separately from a paid service contract, while communications include far more than defects.
