Quick summary

The 2018 Jeep Cherokee has an overall defect rate of 118 defects per 100 vehicles, which is slightly better than the average of 120 defects per 100 vehicles for cars of the same year. Notably, the Cherokee performs exceptionally well in categories such as steering, visibility, body structure, and equipment, with defect rates significantly lower than the average. However, it shows a concerning trend with higher defects in the 'Other' category, where it exceeds the average by a considerable margin. Mileage-related data indicates that defect rates tend to increase with higher mileage, particularly in the 93,000 to 124,000 miles range. Overall, while the Jeep Cherokee excels in several key areas, attention should be paid to its performance in less specific defect categories as mileage increases.
