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.

We received brake booster recall notice (P14/NHTSA 14V-154) back in July 2014. We immediately called dealer. They said they would order the part. Now 6 months have passed. Dealer reports that "they are working on customers who responded in June, 2014 and will get to us as Chrysler releases more parts." Six months seems like an unreasonably long time to wait for recall parts.

None of these three recalls have been addressed by Chrysler or my dealer. They are recall #'S14V-154;14V-391;14V-530 respectively. The dealer is claiming that Chrysler is not providing the necessary parts to remedy the recalls. I don't want my family at risk during the winter months with the brake booster issue, or stranded on the side of the road as a result of the fuel pump issue. Please consider this my formal complaint against Chrysler group llc.

We received a recall for the brake booster. So we made an appointment in July and took it in to ferrario car sales in wysox pa. They told us they would call us in a month or two to get it fixed. In early October, I personally went to ferrario and asked about the recall. They told me they were still waiting on parts, indefinitely. I also asked them about the sun visor recall and was told they needed to see it but it would be the same result. Now we have received a recall notice on the fuel pump relay. But why have these recalls if the dealerships will not fix your vehicles. I have received three different recall notices and two about the fuel pump relay. I have tried to have the recalled parts fixed on my vehicle and have yet to be successful in getting the dealership to repair a single recalled item.

We received three recall notices P14, P36, P54 in October. The local dealer told us on November 1 that we would be called within 6 weeks when the parts had arrived. Never receiving a call, I called on December 19 and was told that we were #42 on a wait list to be called when the dealer had time to service the car, perhaps as late as April. This does not seem the "reasonable time" mentioned on the recall notice. Please help.
