Which model years to check twice
Complaints per production run, so a year that simply sold more does not top the list. On the Jeep Grand Wagoneer the gap between build years is 1.3×: a 1987 car draws 1.3 complaints per run, a 1985 one 1.
| Year | Per run | Complaints | Runs | Crashes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 3 | 3 | — | |
| 2024 | 34 | 25 | 1 | |
| 2023 | 49 | 32 | 2 | |

| 1988 | 3 | 3 | — | |
| 1987 | 4 | 3 | — | |
| 1985 | 3 | 3 | — |
Heaviest year here is 2022 at 2.1 complaints per run; lightest is 1985 at 1. The 2025 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
