2023 Cherokee Safety
Despite many standard safety features, the Cherokee still receives relatively average safety ratings. In the NHTSA's review of the Jeep Cherokee, it attained four out of five stars on the overall rating. The IIHS gave the 2021 Cherokee scores of Good across all crash tests in its Cherokee review but scored the headlights only Acceptable or Marginal. The optional crash avoidance systems were rated Superior.
2023 Cherokee Key Safety Features
Jeep provides many standard safety features on the Cherokee.

2023 Cherokee Reliability
No recalls affected the 2022 Cherokee and (so far) the 2023 model, but the 2021 model was recalled twice for issues including front lower control arms that may fracture and a transmission oil cooler hose that could leak. 2020 models were also recalled, this time for a faulty rearview camera display image and a steering rack gear that could fail.
On a positive note, the number of complaints by owners is also relatively low and the 2022 J.D. Power Quality & Reliability score is a stellar 82 out of 100, which bodes well for ownership.
Jeep's warranty coverage includes a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile drivetrain warranty, and roadside assistance for the same period. Three year's access to the Jeep Wave customer-care program is also included with complimentary maintenance.
