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 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee shows a marked improvement in federal record metrics compared to its immediate predecessors in the current generation (2021-2024). Complaints have dropped to just 59—down from 233 in 2024 and 371 in 2023—while recalls have fallen to 3, compared to 15 in 2024 and 20 in 2023. This continues a downward trend in both complaints and recalls since a peak in 2022-2023, and the 2025 model also has zero open investigations and only 366 TSBs, the lowest since the generation began. The data does not specify root causes, but the declining numbers suggest that earlier model-year issues have been progressively addressed. For a used buyer, the 2025 Grand Cherokee represents a relatively mature and stable point in the generation, making it a good year to consider.
