Reliability Overview

The WL-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, launched for 2022 on Stellantis's STLA Large platform shared with the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, has accumulated 1,195 NHTSA complaints across four model years and 27 separate recall campaigns. That works out to roughly 299 complaints per year against a midsize-SUV segment median near 46 complaints per year, and 27 recalls in four model years is an extraordinarily high recall density. NHTSA has logged 2 deaths and 31 injuries on this generation. The recall ledger and the 4xe PHEV powertrain failures are the central story.

Four engine options span the generation. The 2.0-liter turbo I4 PHEV powertrain (Grand Cherokee 4xe, 375 horsepower combined) accumulated 611 complaints, with electrical issues (374) and engine issues (224) leading. The 3.6-liter V6 gasoline (293 horsepower) accumulated 515 complaints, with safety systems and electrical at the top. The 5.7-liter V8 Hemi (357 horsepower, 2022-2024 only) accumulated 36 complaints across the three years it was offered, making it the lowest-complaint powertrain on this generation. A 3.6-liter V6 FlexFuel variant (283 horsepower) accumulated 20 complaints. Engine choice has a major effect on the reliability picture; the V8 was discontinued after 2024.

The 4xe PHEV powertrain has been recalled three times for serious issues. NHTSA actions on the 4xe include a high-voltage battery internal failure with vehicle fire risk both parked and while driving (October 2024, expanded October 2025), a hybrid control processor software error causing loss of drive power (September 2025), and a 2023-2025 4xe engine debris recall causing engine failure (November 2025). Outside the 4xe, 2022-2023 cars saw a steering column intermediate shaft disconnect recall (May 2023), a rear coil spring detachment recall (June 2023, expanded January 2026), and an upper control arm ball joint and steering knuckle separation recall (February 2024) in which the wheel can fall outward. 2024 cars added a separate improperly machined steering knuckle recall, a missing front bumper energy-absorbing foam recall affecting air bag deployment, a radiator crossmember bolt recall that can cause a fuel leak in a crash, and several rearview camera display recalls. Air bag, seat belt, defrost system, speedometer display, and child seat tether recalls round out the lineup.

The WL replaces the WK2 (2011-2021) and represents a major architectural change, including the introduction of the 4xe PHEV powertrain. The recall density on this generation is unusual even by first-platform-year standards, and several of the most serious recalls (HV battery fires, suspension control arm separation, steering knuckle machining) point to manufacturing quality concerns rather than design refinements.

The WL Grand Cherokee makes sense for buyers willing to clear a long recall list before delivery. The 4xe PHEV carries the highest-risk recall ledger on this generation and a fire-while-parked recall set that has been issued twice. Buyers prioritizing reliability volume should look at the 5.7L V8 (when available on 2022-2024 cars) over the 3.6L V6 or the 4xe; the V8 accumulated 36 complaints over three model years against 515 for the V6 and 611 for the 4xe.

Source: classified from NHTSA complaint and recall data. "Battery-related" includes high-voltage propulsion battery, charging system, hybrid drivetrain, electric propulsion, regenerative braking, 12V auxiliary battery, and thermal-event complaints. Other complaints (suspension, steering, brakes, infotainment) appear in the engine and vehicle-level sections. Rates are absolute counts, not normalized per-VIN β€” high-volume models naturally produce more raw complaints than low-volume ones. Self-reported death and injury counts are capped per complaint to limit form abuse.

Buyer's Guide

The 27-recall ledger is the central question on any WL Grand Cherokee. Start with the most serious open recalls: on the 4xe PHEV, the high-voltage battery fire recalls (October 2024 and October 2025), the hybrid control processor loss of drive power recall (September 2025), and the engine debris failure recall on 2023-2025 4xe (November 2025); on the gasoline cars, the upper control arm ball joint and steering knuckle separation recall (February 2024), the rear coil spring detachment recall (June 2023 and January 2026 expansion), and the steering column intermediate shaft recall (May 2023). Run the VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup and confirm every applicable campaign is closed before any test drive.

At inspection, prioritize the suspension and steering systems on any 2022-2023 candidate. Have a mechanic visually inspect the upper control arm ball joint and steering knuckle area for any signs of separation or wear. Check the rear coil springs for proper seating and any signs of installation defect. Test the steering column at idle by rocking the steering wheel for any disconnect feel at the intermediate shaft. On 4xe candidates, verify the high-voltage battery state-of-charge behavior on a 45-minute drive, confirm no warning lights related to the hybrid control system, and walk the car after a charging cycle to check for any unusual heat or smell from the HV battery area. On 2024 cars, verify the radiator crossmember bolt recall, the air bag connector recall, and the speedometer software recall have all been performed.

For buyers prioritizing the cleanest reliability ledger within the WL generation, the 5.7L V8 Hemi (available on 2022-2024 cars only) carries 36 complaints across three model years and is materially cleaner than the 515 complaints on the 3.6L V6 or the 611 complaints on the 4xe PHEV. The trade-off is fuel economy, and the V8 was discontinued after 2024, so 2025 buyers do not have this option. Shoppers looking at a 2025 should weigh the 3.6L V6 against the 4xe with the latter's open recall set in mind.
