2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee — 6.4L

The 2015 model year recorded 1,344 complaints, 10 recalls, and 8 investigations, representing a notable decline from the 2014 peak of 2,369 complaints and 19 recalls but remaining well above the 307 complaints and 9 recalls seen in 2016. Across this generation, federal filings reached a pronounced peak in 2014 before retreating in 2015 and falling sharply in 2016, placing this model year on the downward slope of a high-activity cycle rather than in the calmer years that followed. The data identifies seats and power train as the two leading complaint categories, with 249 and 248 filings respectively, though it does not specify underlying root causes; the record also notes 127 crash-related and 21 fire-related complaints. Relative to its neighbors, 2015 benefits from reduced federal action compared with 2014 yet still carries substantially higher complaint volume than 2016, suggesting buyers face moderated but not minimal risk. For a used-vehicle purchase, this positions 2015 as a marginally safer bet than the 2014 peak year, though shoppers seeking the most stable record in this generation would be better served by the sharply lower-complaint 2016 and later models.
