Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee represents a significant peak in reliability issues, recording 2,369 complaints, 19 recalls, 10 investigations, and 632 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). This is a sharp increase over the 2013 model, which had 799 complaints and 10 recalls, and remains substantially higher than the 2015 model's 1,344 complaints and 10 recalls. Within the broader generation, 2014 serves as a statistical nadir for quality, marking the highest volume of complaints and TSBs until the 2021-2026 period. Primary complaint areas for this year include the seats (283), power train (263), electrical system (176), and engine (172), though the data does not specify the root causes for these issues. Furthermore, the 2014 model recorded 149 crash complaints and 40 fire complaints. Given that 2014 is a clear outlier for failures compared to the years immediately surrounding it, this is not a good year to buy.
