How reliable is a Jeep Wrangler?

I’ve had my eye on a Jeep Wrangler Sahara for quite some time. I like to thoroughly research vehicles before I buy them, and as I dig more into the Wrangler, I’m not so sure about it. Does the Jeep Wrangler get good reliability ratings?

Looking at the reliability of a vehicle is an important part of car shopping. The
Jeep Wrangler
gets a reliability rating of 83/100 from J.D. Power.
The reliability score of a car is based on several factors, including:
  • Level of defects
  • Malfunctions
  • Design flaws encountered by owners
It covers the entire vehicle, and a higher rating means fewer problems.
That said, the 2020 Wrangler appears to be one of the most unreliable models of the bunch, with two big recalls for poor welding between the control arm and the axle, putting drivers and passengers at major risk if the parts separate. The second recall was over clutch components that could catch fire due to overheating. It’s also heavily lacking in electronics.
Regardless of the Jeep Wrangler’s reliability ratings, drivers of all kinds romanticize its off-road capabilities, and it’s still a popular choice for utility vehicles.
