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.

A minor coolant leak became a major leak. It was difficult to see where the coolant was leaking from. It took a camera on a snake to see down in there to spot the leak on the oil cooler. The $2,000 cost of repair was mostly labor to get at the cooler. Less than 3 months later, the radiator blew out. Another $2,000 to have it towed to a garage where they said the root of the problem was probably a failed water pump, which may have also been the cause of the oil cooler failure and certainly the cause of overheating and blowing radiator. Now a year and a half after new water pump, new hoses, new radiator and all, it is leaking AGAIN. I have not yet found the source of this third problem.
