Overview

2025 Jeep Wrangler

The 2025 Jeep Wrangler, while capable off-road, carries a below-average reliability verdict. Used shoppers should be aware of significant recalls, particularly those related to fire risks from the steering pump and traction battery. A high TSB count suggests potential underlying quality control issues, even with a lack of direct owner complaints. Its 4-wheel drive system and 8-speed automatic transmission are standard for its class, but fuel economy is modest at a combined 14 MPG, leading to high fuel costs.

Critical Failure Risk

Recalls indicate a fire risk associated with the traction battery system. This is a critical safety concern requiring immediate attention.

Early detection can reduce the odds of major repair bills.
