Hopefully it's temporary because of the companies financial troubles hitting quality control. But jeep comes bottom of the owners reliability surveys in the UK.
Note this is what the owners themselves say about how reliable their jeeps are. Not what makers, or owners of other vehicles say; (which is what people claim if their vehicle comes low).
For some reasons cars are like guns. People take criticism of theirs personally, (they are just pieces of metal chaps). So no offense is intended! And no; I'm not replying to anyone saying 'well my jeep has never gone wrong but the honda next door is.....'

That's actually kind of funny to me, as stateside Land Rover is usually at the bottom of our owner reliability surveys.
With that in mind, Jeep isn't much further ahead, neither is Hummer. Makes me wonder why companies have so much trouble making good small 4x4's? Even Toyota has problems with the FJ Cruiser
Anyway, our older Jeeps with the 4.0L inline-6 and spartan interior options tend to be very reliable. The older V8 models and all the newer models are somewhat questionable, especially once you start loading them with options. For some reason Jeep's biggest issue has always been electrical stuff. The hardware they use is usually pretty solid stuff (Dana axles, Borg Warner/Tremec transmissions, ect), but once they had to start computerizing stuff....forget it.
