  7. Complaints per 10,000 built: computed here from NHTSA's complaint count for the Grand Cherokee nameplate (183, of which 19 describe a crash, fire, injury or death) and the 220,866 vehicles NHTSA's own early-warning production reports place on it (2026 Q1). US data. No publisher states the rate itself.↩
  8. Kerb weight: not published. No source states a curb weight for this car.↩

  13. Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2021 car sold in Canada, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
