TIPM Going Bad, Engine Won't Start Or Hard To Start
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Page 1 of 12)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Jeep dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The fourth generation Grand Cherokee took the relatively trouble-free run of the 3rd-generation and flipped the script.
From 2010 to 2011, complaints about the vehicle not starting increased 10-fold. In fact, the 2011 model year is riddled with engine problems and a defective TIPM might be to blame. The TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) distributes power to all the eletrical components in the vehicle, so when it starts acting funny so do numerous other components in the car. Orders for new TIPMs were so abundant that parts became scarce, prompting a class-action lawsuit claiming Chrysler ignored this obvious defect.
By 2012 complaints dropped back down by about 80%. Needless to say, if you see a used 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee on a lot just keep walking.

Car wouldn't start. Had it towed to a dealership where I was told that the spark plugs were bad and needed to be replaced. Also was told that the fuel pump relay needed to be replaced but the parts were not available at the time. A temporary workaround would be used and I would be notified when the parts were available. This never happened. Everytime I called to check up on the parts I was told they were still unavailable.
