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.

The side view mirrors are an obstruction of the driver's view when turning into spiraling parking lots. The mirrors are so large, (larger than necessary to see what is on the side of the vehicle) that I have to sit forward and look around the mirror or above the mirror, or below the mirror to see the line in the street. It is very hard to see where the lines are when driving into a parking space or an atm machine. I am a tall person so I imagine a shorter person would really have trouble with visibility when driving and trying to see what is on the sides of the vehicle. I have to be very cautious when driving because I have almost hit other vehicles when turning left due to obstruction of visibility. I can see through the side view mirrors, I just cannot around the mirrors. This is definitely a design defect because I cannot see anyone not having a problem seeing around these mirrors. My husband complains about the mirrors and everyone that drives my Jeep. The mirrors need to be smaller and lower so that you can see over and around them. I have never had this problem with any other vehicle and I fear that there will be many accidents or near accidents with drivers if this defect is not corrected. I am very cautious when driving in certain situations because of the visibility problem. I am considering selling the vehicle (which is not a year old yet) due to the safety issue of the mirrors.
