Quick summary
Total: 213 cars
The 2007 Jeep Wrangler has an overall defect rate of 278 per 100 vehicles, which is significantly lower than the yearly average of 352 per 100, reflecting a reduction of 21%. While tyre wear is a noted concern, the model particularly excels in visibility, wheels, suspensions, and body structure, showing better performance compared to the average. However, it struggles with steering issues, which are more prevalent than in the average vehicle, and it also has a higher incidence of equipment-related defects. Mileage trends show that defect rates increase with higher mileage, especially in the 124,000+ miles category, but the Wrangler maintains a relatively strong performance overall.
