Get to Know the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sahara
The 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sahara trim is considered a higher-level trim, but it is squarely in the middle of the base model Sport, Sport S, Moab and Rubicon. It also sits in the middle of the price range, which makes it a more affordable trim than the Moab or Rubicon.
At the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, the 2018 Jeep Wrangler is shown to have 10 recalls. It did not have front or side-crash ratings, but its rollover rating was three out of five stars.
The recalls varied from door latches coming undone unexpectedly to seatbelts separating from their frames. Consumers who made complaints were more likely to be concerned about the vehicle’s suspension than anything else.
For example, in one complaint, the consumer said that the vehicle started to shake and wobble for no apparent reason around 16,000 miles. Another consumer said that the steering wheel became loose and that the vehicle felt wobbly as well.
