Owner-reported

2024 Jeep Wrangler 4XE mileage at failure

75 of the 217 complaints on file for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4XE give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Component	Median	Middle half	Based on
Electrical System	Median 15,000 miles	Middle half 9,000–25,000 miles	Based on 59 complaints
Engine	Median 14,000 miles	Middle half 9,000–25,000 miles	Based on 53 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.
