CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Grand Cherokee hasn't seen the same complaint volume as the 2011, at least not yet.
It's worth noting both model years are part of a class-action lawsuit that focuses on a defective TIPM and a long wait for replacement parts.
The 2012 also received national attention after it failed a Swedish Magazine's "moose test". The test measures a vehicle's ability to swerve out of the way of an obstacle you wouldn't want to hit while driving down the road ... like a moose.

There is a current recall on my Jeep, I was notified of October of 2019. It is now September of 2020, and there is no resolution for this recall. My truck has had trouble starting several occasions. Many of those times I was left stranded. It eventually will start again, so far, but one day it will not and it is due to this recall. The tipm needs replacing and it is a very expensive job.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee occasionally won't start. It has to stand for a few minutes and then starts. This happened once or twice a month. The dealer stated that there was a recall V62. (fuel pump relay). I have had the relay replaced 3 times, but not the original as seemingly it is not yet available. The car has never stalled or acted strangely once going. The agent has fitted another relay, but now says that they have to install a wcm, elv and keys. A diagnostic was done and showed up some errors after putting in the last relay. When will the correct relays be manufactured, as I do not want to go to great expense replacing other parts if it is still a relay issue?

I was passing a slow moving truck on a 2 lane highway when my Jeep lost power for several seconds. I came very close to a head on collision. The Jeep has had a no start problem since I purchased it 5 years ago. It has been in dealership service departments multiple times for the issue with no resolution when still under warranty. All online research points to a defective tipm and there are related recalls. The current open safety recall is number V62 with fca for the fuel pump relay which is part of the tipm. The loss of power is one issue that can be caused by the faulty tipm, as well as the no start problem my Jeep has had the entire time I've owned it. I contacted fca recall assistance center and opened a case, informing them that I almost had a head on collision due to their defective product with an open recall. They told me there was nothing they could do but notify me when a fix was available. This recall was issue almost a year ago and involves life safety. I have no choice but to continue driving a vehicle that almost killed me 2 days ago because fca refuses to fix a defective part for several years.

Vehicle shuts off after starting, ticking from engine at random speeds, runs rough at random speeds during different times. I took it to my dealer because of this and they said that it sounds like the fuel pump relay is failing and can cause me to crash/stop in the middle of the road suddenly and that theres been a recall for this for almost a year but they cant help me or fix my car because theres no parts. I am now afraid to drive at all
