Is the 2022 Jeep Wrangler reliable?
The 2022 Jeep Wrangler has 397 owner complaints on file with NHTSA, 2.1 times the median of 189 for 2022 SUVs on this site. Of the 13 Wrangler model years since 2014, it has the 9th most complaints. Complaint counts rise with sales as well as faults, so read what owners report below before deciding.
At a glance
- Next to the 2021 and 2023
- At 79 complaints for each year on the road, the 2022 runs well under the 2021 (157) and close to the 2023 (91).
- Top problem
- Two problems run close. Dead battery has 74 complaints and hybrid system has 67, out of 397 in all. A quarter of the 19 owners who gave a mileage for dead battery saw it by about 20,000 miles, and half by about 34,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 25 of the 397 complaints (6%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, about the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 13 reports mention a crash, 11 mention a fire and 6 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 4 of 13, fall under brake wear.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Dead battery and death wobble each have a recall on the same system (22V-768, 23V-303 and 3 others; 26V-363). Hybrid system has none. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2024 at 112 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 82. So far in 2026, 95 more have come in.
