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.

My Jeep has shut off / stalled on me twice now since I have purchased it last month. This is an absolute random issue, and happens while driving. The engine will shut off with no warning, and you loose power steering and power brakes. Very scary, and a very serious and deadly condition. Jeep and Chrysler are no help. Was at the dealership for three days, and they said they can-??t find the issue, and gave it back to me. Pathetic!
UNKNOWN: Fact: My 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland fuel pump relay can fail while driving and cause a vehicle crash without warning. This information was provided in December, 2019, in a letter/notice from FCA. The recall number is V62/NHTSA 19V-813. Replacements for this Fuel Pump Relay are being supplied to Dealerships at the rate of 1 per week. This is unnacceptable and is forcing owners of these vehicles to put their families at risk. I cancelled my, and my family's vacation because my dealership is unable to provide a fix for this fuel pump relay, actually the SECOND fix. The first was R09/NHTSA 14V- 115.
