Jeep Grand Cherokee owners have reported a total of 37,016 problems for their cars built in the 31 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee cars have the most problems reported (3,326 problems).
The following chart shows the 37 most common problems for Jeep Grand Cherokee cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's electrical system (7,315 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's power train (4,171 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Jeep Grand Cherokee of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Grand Cherokee model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Jeep Grand Cherokee model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
