CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Grand Cherokee hasn't seen the same complaint volume as the 2011, at least not yet.
It's worth noting both model years are part of a class-action lawsuit that focuses on a defective TIPM and a long wait for replacement parts.
The 2012 also received national attention after it failed a Swedish Magazine's "moose test". The test measures a vehicle's ability to swerve out of the way of an obstacle you wouldn't want to hit while driving down the road ... like a moose.
When AC is on only works on passenger side, hot air comes out of driver vents. When heater is on, only heats passenger side, and frigid air comes out of driver vents. Have talked to several friends who have the same problem with this. Is there a recall? If not, there should be for all of those reporting the same problem.
Update from Apr 2, 2017: It is not the temp controls that is not working. It is not working only on drive side. It is the device under the hood that controls dual temperature control that is not working . Think it may be called something like a modem door? I have about ten different people say that their jeeps have the same.problem. works fine on one side of the compartment and terrible on the other side.
