ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 2-Door?

A 27 percent rollover risk and 3 out of 5 stars for rollover protection define the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 2-Door's federal safety profile; this is the sole specific crash-test data point NHTSA has published. The vehicle enters MotorCaliber's evaluation with a Below Average Safety Index of 61/100. Its crash protection score stands at 42 out of a possible 70 points, directly reflecting the absence of NHTSA frontal or side crash ratings. Driver-assist systems are a clear limitation; the avoidance technology sub-score is 4.5 out of 10. Forward collision warning is optional, and lane departure warning is not offered on this configuration. While electronic stability control is standard, it does not fully compensate for these omissions in active safety. The defect record, at 14 out of 20 points, is the strongest component of its Safety Index, with zero recall campaigns to date. However, 629 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, frequently citing engine and electrical system issues, indicate areas for concern and future scrutiny.
