2025 Jeep Wrangler
This year drew an ordinary 191 complaints for a Jeep Wrangler — the model's median is 649. What they were about is the unusual part: 9.9% of them mention normally, against 1.3% across the other years of this generation.
Generation 2 of the Jeep Wrangler, which began in 2018. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.
| Complaints filed | 191 |
|---|---|
| Median for this model | 649 |
| Involving a crash | 11 |
| Involving a fire | 3 |
| Recalls | 4 |
| EPA combined | 20 mpg |
What the complaints were about
- normally — 9.9% of this year's complaints, against 1.3% across the other years of this generation (7.5×).
- operate — 8.4% of this year's complaints, against 1.6% across the other years of this generation (5.4×).
- took jeep — 6.3% of this year's complaints, against 2.5% across the other years of this generation (2.5×). Owners wrote it as: took jeep, wasn.
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.
What owners wrote
I was driving my 2025 4xE wrangler to work and throttle shut off on me and I wasn’t able to move. Stuck in the middle of busy traffic and stranded. I had to call a tow truck to take it to the dealership.
The vehicle has an active fire-risk recall (68C / 25V-741). Manufacturer has instructed not to charge the vehicle and to park away from structures. The dealership refuses to provide a diagnostic report or loss-of-use support. The vehicle is not safe to operate…

How this was worked out
Every year of the Jeep Wrangler was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
