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.

I had the exact same thing happen to me with only 2194 miles. No satisfaction from Jeep/Chrysler. Early editions of the Grand Cherokee have no weather seal at the hood line to prevent water from entering the air intake (such as mine). Ended up spending $7200 for a new engine, not covered under warranty. Hope you had better luck.
we have bought my can after feeling a very big trust of your vehicle
and your trade mark.
it is not only me that bought this car., we have another 4 cars jeep
Cherokee 2011 in my family , then our trust to you is unlimited!!.
I used to make service to my car in the service agent regularly( 10000
km - 20000 km ).
and the last service was n 19/11/2011 .,I had no problem by that.
my problems starts on 22/11/2011 ( after 3 days of service ) that due
to some water about 30 : 50 cm highs where blocked somewhere in my
city,
I stopped before going on in that water thinking and watching what to
do, I found that many cars ( sedan cars ) are passing this water
peacefully without any problem.
I started to move slowly by speed about 20km/h
suddenly the car engine stopped after passing about 10meter of that
water without any reason and I saw the other sedan small cars are
moving around me with no problem.
I tried to run the engine again but there was no chance.
I decided to try to go out of form my car thinking that I can do
anything although that I have no idea about engines and car service(
that's not my job )!!. little water entered the car , it means that
the water was under the door limit
immediately I knew that my car is not going to run again before
visiting her service.,
I called my brother who have Toyota corolla 2010 to bull me , at the
begging he refused to do this due o my car is much bigger tan him and
it is very difficult to do this, but finally he entered by his car to
the same water and he started to bull me.
then I have contact my service agent and he accepted the car to check
the problem and finally the answer of the service agent that the car
needs a new engine parts and it is not under the warranty covering
because the water came in the car from the Air filter hole.,
if it is logical to happen what is my mistake that the service man in
the agent did not close the Air filter door correctly.
there is no reason that I open it or do something with it because I
have been in the service few days before problem happen.
also, if he closed it correctly is that means that if I try to was the
engine the water should come in the car from that air filter hole!!!.
un logical.
I have complained with Chrysler Egypt and they have not gave me any
answer except that they will not cover the service cost.
at this point I tried to contact you in order to help me to solve this
problem friendly without interfering the legal parties in my country.
thanks for your understanding and looking forward to hear from you soon.
