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.
Traction control and ABS light came on and stayed on for my 30 minute drive to work. Upon starting my car in the evening, both lights came on and stayed on through reverse and drive. I put the car back into park, then drive and that time the lights went out. The lights have not come on since even when the tractor control light should have come on.
