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.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

In October 2014, my Jeep Grand Cherokee stalled without warning three time. There was complete loss of power, no warning lights. I have a push button start and had to come to a complete start, place it in park, and restart. Each time was on a busy street with many unhappy drivers slamming on their brakes. I left the car at the Jeep dealership for two days and they found nothing. The next week, I got the recall. I took it back and they checked with the regional service guy. They changed the tipm pending the "final fix." No more stalls occurred. They then did the "final fix" in January. I had another stall on January 26! I'll take it back with the next recall for god knows what and see what they suggest. I'm not optimistic.

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.
