Leather Dashboard Is Bubbling/Wrinkling Up
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Page 5 of 5)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Jeep dealer.
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.

- Safety - I filed a complaint with NHTSA (People who mandate recalls). The wrinkles in the leather dash could cause an irregular passenger airbag deployment.

I am definitely disappointed in the poor quality of the leather overlay on my dash. Looks like they did not use a good glue. After spending 50K on a vehicle, I would have never believed the poor workmanship that has shown itself. Of course the dealer says sorry it is out of warranty because it has over 36,000 miles. Well, the car was purchased at the end of 2011 and should be taken into consideration. I hate to say this, but I will be headed to BMW for my next SUV.
Sad thing is, we have been loyal Dodge customers for our entire adult lives and even race and show classic Mopar vehicles. We have stood behind Chrysler and would like for Chrysler to stand behind their product!
