2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee mileage at failure
816 of the 1,369 complaints on file for the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.
| Component | Median | Middle half | Based on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Train | Median 15,000 miles | Middle half 5,000–60,000 miles | Based on 269 complaints |
| Engine | Median 85,000 miles | Middle half 55,000–120,000 miles | Based on 113 complaints |
| Fuel/Propulsion System | Median 105,000 miles | Middle half 70,000–140,000 miles | Based on 55 complaints |
A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.
Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.
These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.
Most complaints NHTSA received since May 17, 2021 give no mileage. So that they aren't undercounted, each one received since then that gives a mileage also stands in for those that gave none, which can put a component's median above most of the mileages it is based on.
Mileage from NHTSA's complaints file of October 31, 2026. How these figures are worked out
