Far fewer Too few recent reports to judge

NHTSA has received 3 owner complaints about the 2023 Jeep Cherokee, or 0.8 per year on the road — far fewer complaints than typical for a vehicle of its age (complaint index 0.02, where 1.00 is the average of all tracked vehicles). Among the 92 model-year 2023 vehicles we track, it ranks #1 for fewest complaints per year. Against other Jeep models its rate is 99% lower; against other Compact SUVs it is 99% lower.

Counts are normalized by time on the road, not by sales volume: a popular model generates more reports than a rare one, and complaints are not verified individually. How we count

Limited data: fewer than 30 complaints, so shares and indexes are unstable.

Complaints filed between 2024-12-16 and 2026-06-23. Median delay from incident to filing: 47 days.
