Jeep fuel system problems

Owners have filed 10,017 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Jeep vehicles — 8% of everything reported about the brand, across 35 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Jeep Grand Cherokee, worst in 1997.

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.
