ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door?
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door presents a mixed safety profile, highlighted by a notable 3-star rollover rating and a 27 percent rollover risk. This specific rollover result is the most significant concrete safety concern found in the available data. Overall, the vehicle registers a Below Average Safety Index score of 68 out of 100. Crash protection contributes 49.8 out of a possible 70 points to this score. This component is affected by the absence of an overall NHTSA star rating and the fact that a side crash rating was not conducted. Avoidance technology scores only 4.5 out of 10, a reflection of forward collision warning being an optional feature and lane departure warning being entirely unavailable for this model year. The defect record component scores 14 out of 20. This score is supported by zero recalls, but it is complicated by 629 unverified owner complaints. Allegations related to the Engine and Electrical System each exceed 370 reports. This volume of complaints, in the absence of any active recall campaigns, warrants careful consideration.
