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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the contact felt the rear end of the vehicle suddenly lowered without warning. As the vehicle lowered, the vehicle began to stall as he depressed the accelerator pedal. The contact pulled over and saw that part of the sub frame was detached from the vehicle. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where he was informed that the drive shaft had detached from the vehicle. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
