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.
Just noticed water stains in headliner running parallel to both sides of sunroof. Have read online about lawsuits concerning is issue. Have dealt with 3 or 4 recalls on this vehicle so far. None were over sunroof leaks. Car is 5yrs. old now. Has always been garaged. Only has 67k mi. on it. Tips on drain locations and water stain removal would be appreciated. Thank you.
Has had a foul odor inside and always had water droplets on inside of glass when vehicle was parked for more than a couple days. But never saw any visible signs of leaks. After 6 months of owning the vehicle, Mold started building up on seats and dash. Could feel and hear water sloshing under seats. Upon carpet removal, found several gallons of water. After replacing carpet and fixing leak, vehicle still has a funk smell.
