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.
Buy a top end vehicle thinking you are getting a better product and the rotors warp. They have to be replaced while the brake shoes still have 60%. it was not just one but all 4 rotors.
This is the first brake job and the pads are still 25% but the rotors need to be replaced, The rotors aren't lasting as long as the pads on a vehicle that cost over $40,000.00. I would say that this is an issue. Now knowing that I have to spend over $800.00 on every brake job, it makes me think about buying another Jeep or Chrysler vehicle. And I am a die hard Dodge man. This doesn't happen on my Ford F-350 work truck. I wanted to buy a Dodge 2500 Cummins but now maybe not.
