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.
Jeep revs to about 6000 RPM for about 1 min. during which time you can not place the vehicle in gear (any gear), took it in TO North West Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, in Houston TX. was told that the issue had been reported to Chrysler and that it is normal for a vehicle to rev up in cold conditions, thing is its 100+ degrees in July in Houston TX. Chrysler is full of Crap< I will never Buy a Mercedes or any other vehicle in the Chrysler line up.
AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS ME TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL OR THE RUG BUT WHEN IT HAPPENED 2ND AND 3RD AND 4TH TIME REALIZED IT WAS THE JEEP MADE AN APPOINTMENT BUT WILL SEE IF THEY (DEALER) CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM,HOPE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR I'LL BE IN DEEP SH*T
