Jeep airbag problems

Owners have filed 6,948 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Jeep vehicles — 6% of everything reported about the brand, across 30 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Jeep Grand Cherokee, worst in 2002.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
