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.

AC went out. Quoted to repair a leaky line. Once repaired and still at the dealership, the fan goes out. Now it's my TIPM.......

The air conditioning fan just stopped working. We took the car to the Jeep dealership and they wanted so much money to just look at it so we went elsewhere. When we spoke to the person at Tire Kingdom they said that this is common in the Jeeps. Really? So $584.21 later they replaced the blower motor and the blower motor resistor. Hopefully this will NOT happen again.
