Jeep suspension problems

Owners have filed 6,154 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Jeep vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 32 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Jeep Liberty, 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.
