Alex Showalter
Aug 31, 2022

The 2010 Jeep Wrangler lasts around 250,000 miles with some computer and fuel spilling issues. At $14,726 to $18,902, it’s expensive, but worth the money if you want a capable off-road SUV.

likeFilled The Good
Off-road performance is better than most other SUVs, the 4-door version has plenty of room for passengers and the navigation system is easy to use.
dislikeFilled The Bad
The engine is not as powerful as other SUVs, it’s missing standard side airbags and the soft top wears out.

Is the 2010 Jeep Wrangler a Good Used SUV?

  • Yes, 2010 is a good year for the Jeep Wrangler earning an overall rating of 8/10 based on overwhelming positive consumer reviews. Owners praise the off-road performance, durable engine, and the fun driving experience.
  • Interior quality is worse than other SUVs at 6/10. It’s not comfortable, but the materials are durable, clean up easily, and the stereo system is simple.
  • Reliability ratings are good at 7/10. We recommend avoiding models from 20072008, and buyers should go with a 20092020 which are all more reliable.
  • Performance is worse than other SUVs from the standard V6 engine.
  • The Wrangler is reasonably safe, with an overall 4-star rating in government crash tests, but only gets 3 stars in the rollover risk assessment due to the high suspension.
  • Fuel economy is worse than other SUVs at only 17 MPG, which should get owners about 367 miles of range out of the 21.6 gallon gas tank. Fuel costs are $61 higher than average at $298/month for a Wrangler that drives 15,000 miles per year.

The jeep wrangler is a series of compact and mid-size four-wheel drive.
The wrangler has some of the best off-road capabilities seen in any production vehicle. If you like the ability to go anywhere, the jeep wrangler can get you there. The wrangler is available in a wide variety of body styles too. You can select from a two or a four-door model.

The most fun you can get from a SUV
A lot of fun to drive, minor comfort issues (mostly passenger seating) versatile, easy to upgrade, reliable. Inexpensive to have work done to it. You can make it completely unique and your own. Tons of aftermarket parts/ upgrades. Decent gas mileage for a SUV. Can make it 200+ miles on 3/4 tank of fuel.

Off road and on road fun!
I love everything about my Jeep. My only complaint is the lumbar support if you're driving a super long distance my back bothers me, but that's totally subjective. I love the height, color, I love the way it drives. It's not great on gas but I love the vehicle so much it doesn't even matter

Rugged and lots of fun off roading
No major problems if you take care of it. They are noisy if you only get a soft top. Don't ever take it to the service center in Easton pa. They are horrible. No customer service. They last a long time if you keep up on oils changes and common maintenance.

Love the vehicle only issues is that sensor
Only problem is that when you drive hot oil light comes on but car is fine I usually stop it for a couple of minutes but I heard that is a sensor that comes on causing the light to pop up but they had told me that will not affect the vehicle but is a simply fix

Safety always comes first in any vehicle, and that it is running good
I have no complaints, but maybe the top is not a hard top.

Great all weather all terrain vehicle.
It is very fun to drive. It has a tight turning radius. You can go anywhere in a Jeep. Great for all weather situations. It does not get great gas mileage. It only gets 16 miles per gallon on the best day. It is fun to take the top off when the weather is nice.

The wrangler is essentially one huge 3d puzzle where the doors and roof come off.
Like most wranglers, the ride is fairly rugged, but you get used to it after a while. Adding a new set of shocks to help absorb some of the impact of all the bumps felt really helped, as well as adding a brand new steering stabilizer. Personally I find the car itself very comfortable, and love all the room it has. Truthfully it is not too small, and not too large.

Could go for a new car asap.
Considering it is 8 years old it is not holding up very well. We bring it to get it fixed every time we've just brought it to be fixed. Problem after problem. I will say though the design of it holds up good in accidents, as we have had one. So it is safe. Held up pretty good. The engine light will not turn off. It is had a good life though. Hanging on even after 250, 000 miles.

Jeeps need a lot of repairs.
It breaks down. One thing after another. Saturday I was driving and it went from fine to hot and overheating. After the thermostat was changed just 3 days prior. The seats are not comfortable. I have had to replace the transmission, ball joints, radiator, calipers, serpentine belt, alternator.

Very . Poor performance motor.
The motor in the 2010 was only used for two years because it was a gas hog with no power. I bought the chrome package and now all my chrome is peeling off and some places there are holes beginning to form. This package was over $1000 more and I would have been better off buying the chrome trims outright and having them installed.
accountCircle Katie G
Fun vehicle on and off the road
It is always breaking and in the shop needing repairs. When it is not in the shop it is an otherwise good car. It leaks when it rains and is not the best on the highway. I have invested so much money into this car that I will never give back. I would recommend this car for someone who is just using it as a fun vehicle. Also I get horrible gas mileage.

The convertible top & off roading qualities.
I love my jeep, it is durable and sturdy. However I have had it for almost 10 years now & am ready for something a bit more luxurious. Jeep wranglers are also not good on gas, as I would have to fill my tank weekly. Having my jeep wrangler in the summertime was a definite perk to the car.
accountCircle Phillip B
A smooth ride but can cost a penny.
I really like the smoothness feeling while driving the car. The only dislike I have with the car is the amount of problems that have occurred that have made me take it to the shop. The gas mileage is not great either and can burn a hole in your pocket. All in all though, the car is pretty reliable but just has some engine/drive problems.
accountCircle Eric K
Wrangler overall was a fun time and glad it is in my past.
Blown heater core at 60k miles. Not a smooth ride. Fun ride in the summer with the top and doors off. Constant repair of wheel bearings and joints. Overall a fun car. Maintenance cannot be constant and expensive as well. Sold mine after two years and will not be buying one again.

It reminds me of a Tonka truck. Fun times driving it!
I really enjoy my Jeep. It is fun to drive, dependable and able to remove doors and roof etc. The upkeep has been smooth, no major problems just new tires and breaks. Overall it is a really nice truck!

What Do Critics Say About the Jeep Wrangler?

  • Consumer Reports says the Wrangler offers impressive off-road performance and average owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds gives the Wrangler a 4.4/5 praising the fun driving experience, but doesn’t like the hard plastic used on the dash.
  • Kelley Blue Book users rate the Wrangler 4.5/5 and enjoy the rugged feeling driving experience, but owners don’t like the tiny back seats.

What Common Problems Does the 2010 Jeep Wrangler Have?

The most common problems found on the 2010 Jeep Wrangler include computer issues, fuel spilling while filling, and excessive oil consumption. Overall, these problems are a bit worse than other SUVs, but are not as widespread as on other years of the Wrangler.

Computer problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) are the most common complaints from owners at around 75,000 miles. The TIPM is a known weak spot across all Jeep vehicles from 2010, and it costs about $1,200 to replace if it fails.

The fuel spills while filling up is another complaint from owners at around 60,000 miles. The problem is caused by a clogged filter which prevents fuel from making it into the tank. Changing out the filter costs about $250, depending on local labor rates.

Excessive oil consumption also shows up on some 2010 Wrangler models at around 40,000 miles. The V6 engine found in the Wrangler is known to consume more oil than other engines. Most owners check oil levels regularly and top it off, others replace gaskets for about $450.

There are 11 recalls, which is worse than other SUVs from 2010. The most serious recall is for a loose axle which can result in steering issues, and Jeep will go through and torque down all the bolts for free. Other recalls mostly cover air bags, and are less of a concern when they’ve been changed out.

How Long Will the 2010 Jeep Wrangler Last?

A well-maintained 2010 Jeep Wrangler can last around 250,000 miles, giving it a durability score of 8/10, which is about 100,000 miles shorter than the top-ranked Toyota 4Runner. Regular annual maintenance costs are more expensive than other SUVs, according to data from Repair Pal, at $661 per year.

Since most 2010 Jeep Wranglers will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace items including the brake booster for $425, the knock sensor costing $300, and the door lock actuators which cost around $350.

accountCircle kate p

Yes, the emergency brake does not work well. The gas cap sensor and the tire pressure sensor do not work. The heat is starting to not work well.

accountCircle Serena V

It had a problem with the gas gauge, it would overflow when I filled the tank. Managed by just putting in twenty dollars when needed. Also some issues with the sensors being tripped.

accountCircle Loretta S

No serious problems. Some electronic glitches, but nothing serious. Have had the belts changes, but that’s normal.

accountCircle Tara T

Yes. The Jeep Wrangler is a very reliable vehicle. I haven't had any problems with mine at all. And the four wheel drive comes in extremely handy when you live on a dirt road like I do.

Is the 2010 Jeep Wrangler a Good Value?

Yes, if you want an off-road focused SUV, the Wrangler is a good value. Blue book values range from $14,726 to $18,902, making the Wrangler thousands of dollars more expensive than the Nissan Pathfinder or Honda Pilot. When new, the price range was $21,165 to $32,050. Depreciation is better than average, only losing about 5% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Jeep Wrangler?

There are three versions of the Wrangler offered for the 2010 model year. The third generation of the Wrangler was introduced in 2007, and replaced by the fourth generation in 2018.

Sport is the entry-level model with:

  • 16-Inch Steel Wheels
  • Cloth Seating
  • Folding Soft Top
  • 6-Speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo With 3.5mm AUX

Sahara is a step up, adding:

  • 18-Inch Alloy Wheels
  • Power Windows & Locks
  • Alarm System
  • Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel
  • Optional Navigation System With USB

Rubicon is the flagship model and adds:

  • 17-Inch Alloy Wheels
  • Off-Road Tires

What Engines Come In the Jeep Wrangler?

What Colors Does the Jeep Wrangler Come In?

How Big Is the Jeep Wrangler?

The 2010 Jeep Wrangler is available as a 2-door or 4-door SUV and gets a lower rating of 6 /10 for passenger & cargo space. It’s smaller than other midsize SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. Passenger room is very cramped in the backseats of the 2-door model, but the 4-door version has good legroom.

Cargo space is worse than competitors, with enough space for 2-3 suitcases behind the backseats in the 2-door model, and 5-6 in the 4-door model.

How Does the Jeep Wrangler Compare to the Competition?

The Jeep Wrangler is a good choice for buyers looking for an off-road oriented SUV that love the classic Jeep styling. It may not be as reliable as some competitors, but it’s excellent off-road.

The Toyota 4Runner is a popular SUV which costs about $3,000 more. Passenger room is better in the Toyota 4Runner, but the Jeep Wrangler’s shorter wheelbase makes it better off-road. We recommend the Toyota 4Runner for a daily driver, but if you are looking to do serious off-roading then the Jeep Wrangler wins.

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is another competitor which is in the same price range. Reliability ratings are better in the Toyota FJ Cruiser, but the Jeep Wrangler has more room for passengers in the 4-door model. We recommend the Toyota FJ Cruiser since there are fewer complaints, but both are great choices to hit the trails with.

accountCircle Sophia K

Yes. The Jeep Wrangler is a great vehicle. They're very safe. Also if you like the outdoors the Jeep Wrangler is definitely for you because you can remove the top and doors.

Beautiful gas guzzling tank.
Vehicle is great overall the only problem (which is common with all jeeps) is it drains gas so quickly. Even when I do not have to do a whole lot of driving I am filling at least once a week. It is great for off-roading and is easy to drive especially in hectic weather.

It is a jeep and it behaves like one. The ride is nothing special but the off-road capability makes up for that. I will probably never finish upgrading it and that is ok with me.

Jeep wranglers are made to last. Especially older models. I have had 0 issues with my jeep and I have had it for 5 years now. My first owned car and I love jeeps. It is good for space, off roaring adventures and does anything you need it to do. Gas is one of the bigger issues, gas mileage is not very good at all but when it does what you need it to do, you can hardly complain.

2010 jeep wrangler personal experience.
I have a good bit of leaking oil, a thing jeep’s often do, and a loose battery wire. I have my jeep lifted with bigger tires which makes the ride a little rougher but it is not a problem for me personally. I like upgrading my jeep and adding features to it which can get pricey. Since my jeep is a 2010 it does not have a ton of inside features but it has whatever you need in a car. All together my jeep has had few problems.

Jeep wrangler sport 4-door hardtop 2010.
My vehicle is a basic jeep. It is very fun with the top off and enjoyable to have with my friends. This car is also a classic jeep with the classic problems many other jeeps have. I have put a lot of work and money into a car but I expected that when purchasing a jeep. I would recommend a jeep to anyone as long as you are not looking for a car to put in minimal money to. My jeep is spacious and has two rows with four doors and a large trunk space. I have put in a Bluetooth system for somewhere around $300. It is cloth seats, but they are very comfortable. I have a hard top and I am able to remove the front seat tops very easily within a 5 minute period. The back top is a lot more difficult to remove and difficult to store. If you are thinking to remove your top often, I recommend a soft top.

Jeep's are reliable and good to drive in various weather conditions. On a sunny day I can put the top down and in snowy conditions, the 4 wheel drive works great.
This is my 3rd Jeep and I am still a fan. I like driving with the top down on a sunny day. The only problem I have with the 4 door Jeep is that the top is more difficult to take down and put up by myself. I had a 2 door and it was easy. I wish it was easier on the 4 door, but even with the difficulty my next vehicle will most likely be a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

Jeep wrangler Sahara review.
A jeep wrangler is hard to get used to if you are used to driving smaller cars. It is not the smoothest car to drive, but I truly enjoy driving it. The ability to take off the top is a game changer during the summer. I can truly say I have never enjoyed driving a car more. Solid car, lasts over 100,000 miles, granted you get the usual repairs. Big enough to fit five people as well as plenty of room in the trunk. Great all year around. Four wheel drive for the winter and convertible for the summer. Also comes with a soft top and hard top. Takes effort to put hardtop on, I personally prefer to keep the hard top on year round, but it is nice to have the options. All around great car and looks great from the outside.

Jeep wrangler mountain edition.
It is really reliable and comfortable. I moved into my college dorm with this vehicle and didn't have any problem fitting all my stuff in it. Also, it is great for going to the beach with friends or going on road trips. It has an eco mode that saves a lot on mileage and therefore saves money. This car however is a gas guzzler. It’ll go through a ton of gas if driven normally. The speakers in the car are really nice and easy to work, same with the blinkers and headlights. However, the headlights are a bit dimmer.

Smooth and comfortable, all the reasons you will absolutely Love your Jeep
I bought my Jeep wrangler as a second owner. It has a manual transmission and 4 wheel drive. Soft top which I absolutely love in the warm months. Most people think they are cold in winter but that could not be further from the truth. It gets and stays very warm. My Jeep is 4 door which is exactly what I was looking for to be able to transport my family around comfortably. It is good on gas as far as Jeeps go and has been completely reliable. I have an android head unit installed with all the upgrades and GPS with front and rear backup cameras.

This car has gotten me through thick and thin. My favorite thing is probably how it does not require much maintenance. Jeeps are made to last and after ten years mine is still in great shape. Only thing that is unfortunate is the gas mileage and the fact that the car maxes out at one hundred miles per hour. Other than that there is nothing to complain about.

I really like the smoothness feeling while driving the car. The only dislike I have with the car is the amount of problems that have occurred that have made me take it to the shop. The gas mileage is not great either and can burn a hole in your pocket. All in all though, the car is pretty reliable but just has some engine/drive problems.

Black four door jeep unlimited with an angled soft top.
So far no real problems yet! I love the comfortability and all the room I have. We do not have air conditioning which can be a bummer at points in hot days but other than that it is a reliable vehicle. The floors sometimes get wet which we are looking into. We bought a new top that angles in the back that I love. It is a manual stick shift drive which I also really enjoy. I love putting the top down and changing out the jeep cover for the spare tire on the back.

Jeep wrangler unlimited-sport. Great, reliable and fun car.
Have had my wrangler or 9 years. Very reliable, great for all weather conditions. Have put 90,000 miles on the car and it still rides great. Have had issues in past with roof leaking, and some screws and bolts tend to rust easier than with other cars.

The customization and just how cool the jeep wrangler looks.
My jeep is great for the most part! It has pretty good mileage, has a comfortable interior, and all around looks pretty cool. I love taking down the top in the warm weather it just makes rides feel so more fun and adventurous. Oh and the level of customization is great and it really lets my jeep feel like my own.

The jeep wave has always interested me. I would say about half wave.
I bought mine used so there were a few mechanical issues we had in the beginning. It could be more uncomfortable/ rummy. My husband is a bigger guy so he doesn't fit as uncomfortable as I do. It can be a little loud with the hardtop on. I do like how much room is in trunk. I have a 4 door. I love it otherwise. Love being able to take just the top off, or all windows and doors.

The convertible top & off roading qualities.
I love my jeep, it is durable and sturdy. However I have had it for almost 10 years now & am ready for something a bit more luxurious. Jeep wranglers are also not good on gas, as I would have to fill my tank weekly. Having my jeep wrangler in the summertime was a definite perk to the car.

There's an endless amount of memories I can make with my Jeep.
I love that I can completely customize my Jeep. I can take the doors and top off anytime I want. You are included in a great community when you are a Jeep owner. The only dislike is I get horrible gas mileage, but I can make great memories with my family with all the places we can go that a regular vehicle can't.

Not the best built car. Will eventually require you to throw money at it. Resale value stays strong though.
Love the feel of a wrangler. Hate the fact that it's American made & therefore has issues. Love the soft top.

You cannot go wrong with a jeep wrangler.
The reliability of my jeep is very good, it has good traction during the snowy winter months and taking the doors off in the summer is easy and makes for a joy ride like no other. It is folding rear seats make it easy to carry large cargo for adventures in the outdoors. Unfortunately as mine is getting older the underneath of the jeep is getting a lot of rust rot holes but other than that it is still in perfect condition.

It is very reliable and holds its value more than any vehicle.
The wrangler is a fun vehicle to have and is easy to get around in but not as comfortable for long rides.

The easter eggs in jeeps are very cool but hard to find.
Tires flat a lot, inside of car is loud, windshield cracks frequently. Roof and door removal is easy. Gas mileage better than you think. The ac and heat works fast. Compartments and glove box easy to lock and hard to break into. Repairs not overly expensive. Engine and all holds up very well.

2010 jeep wrangler glee Sahara.
It is a good truck. The gas mileage is not the best, but you get use to it. The jeep is too heavy which makes going fast not a safe option. Once you get use to it is a great truck. I would highly recommend it to people thinking about getting a wrangler.
