FORD EXPLORER vs JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

Top reported components for each, summed across every model year on file - not matched to the same exact year on both sides.

These are raw complaint counts, not rates. A model covered across more years, or with higher sales volume, will tend to show more total complaints here regardless of which one actually has a higher true incidence of any given problem. This page is a starting point for what to ask about or inspect, not a verdict on which is more reliable.
