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.

problem #1

Nov 102014

Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

3 weeks ago battery and cel light came on. Code was for low voltage. Tested alternator and not putting out. Replaced alternator (220 amp) from Chrysler. CEL went out but battery light stayed on. Tested battery and came up replace. Replaced battery from Chrysler and light stayed out. Took a trip to Va. and on the way home battery light came on again. Tested alternator and battery while light was still on and every thing was OK.

I "smacked" the top of the TIPM with my hand and the light went out and has stayed out. Do you think Chrysler is ever going to address these problems???
