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.
I have noticed that when applying the gas pedal/accelerating from a stop or when putting the car in reverse I hear like a knock or clunk sound. From what I noticed it only happens in these two cases and was wondering if it could possible be a motor mount issue or something to that nature. The vehicle only has 70K on it. Anybody have any thoughts of what this problem could be, I would appreciate it..
