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.

I had a recall P36/NHTSA 14V-154 and contacted the dealer. I set an appointment for August 14, 2014 to bring the car in because they told me they needed to inspect and order the part. I dropped the car off for the day, so they could inspect it, and picked it up at the end of the day. It is September 25, 2014, and they have not contacted me or returned my calls regarding the repair. I also got a second recall while waiting for follow-up on the first for this vehicle: P36/NHTSA 14V-391. I called to set that appointment for the same time as they repair the first recall. I left a message with the receptionist and never got a call back. I do not feel as though I need to manage their recall for my vehicle, and they do not make any attempts to manage it themselves or respond to my inquiries. What do I do from here? the dealer is autonation Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, roseville, ca 95661.
