Too new to judge fully
It has been on the road 4 years, so complaints are still coming in. So far it has fewer than a typical older Wrangler year, which is normal for a newer car. The area owners report most so far is the electrical system, which half of owners reported by about 30,000 miles.
Based on owner complaints to NHTSA, compared with other Wrangler years from 2012 to 2024. A good year can still be a bad car, so check the one you are looking at.
Owners have filed 414 complaints with NHTSA about the 2022 Jeep Wrangler. The most reported problem area is the electrical system (175, 42% of complaints), followed by the engine and cooling and the steering. That ranks 11th of 13 Wrangler years from 2012 to 2024 for complaints. It has 15 recalls.
5 of these complaints came from Utah owners.

The dashboard is completely out. I cannot see my speed,know if my lights are working, cannot not know if there is an issue with the car, cannot see gas. Completely unsafe. Year, make, and model are under the recall # 30B but because my vin is not bringing it up it is not covered despite matching everything else and it is a safety issue.Owner complaint, filed 2026
Engine and cooling
96 complaintsStalling, misfires, oil consumption, leaks, overheating and engine failure.What to check before you buy
Half of the owners who gave a mileage had the problem by about 15,000 miles.
What to check before you buy
- Ask the seller not to warm the car up, and start it cold. Listen for ticking, knocking or a rough idle in the first minute.
- Pull the oil dipstick and the oil cap. Low oil, a gasoline smell or a milky film on the cap are reasons to walk away or get an inspection.
- Plug in an OBD2 scanner. Stored or pending codes matter, and so do readiness monitors that show "not ready", which usually means the codes were cleared right before the sale.
- Ask for oil change records. A gap in the records on a model known for engine complaints is a negotiating point at minimum.

2022 Jeep Wrangler questions
What are the most common problems with the 2022 Jeep Wrangler?
The most reported problem areas on the 2022 Jeep Wrangler are the electrical system (175 complaints), the engine and cooling (96 complaints) and the steering (88 complaints).
Is the 2022 Jeep Wrangler a good year to buy?
Too new to judge fully. It has been on the road 4 years, so complaints are still coming in. So far it has fewer than a typical older Wrangler year, which is normal for a newer car. The area owners report most so far is the electrical system, which half of owners reported by about 30,000 miles. Based on owner complaints to NHTSA, compared with other Wrangler years from 2012 to 2024. A good year can still be a bad car, so check the one you are looking at.
How many recalls does the 2022 Jeep Wrangler have?
NHTSA lists 15 recalls for the 2022 Jeep Wrangler. The most recent, from Jun 2026, covers the pump. 3 of them tell owners to park outside or not drive the car until it is fixed. Recalls cover the whole model year, so check the VIN of the car you are looking at to see which are still open.
At what mileage do 2022 Jeep Wrangler problems start?
Half of the owners who reported a problem with the electrical system gave a mileage of about 30,000 miles or less. Half of the owners who reported a problem with the engine and cooling gave a mileage of about 15,000 miles or less. Plenty of cars have these problems later or never, so ask for service records.
Which Jeep Wrangler years should I avoid?
The Wrangler years with the most complaints compared with the rest are 2018. Years with clearly fewer complaints are 2017. Years from 2022 on are too new to rate fairly yet.
Check the exact car
These problems are for the model year as a whole. Here is how to find out about the one you are looking at.
