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.
For the second time while stopped at a stop light, with foot on the brake and vehicle in drive - the engine begins racing and requires excessive force on the brake or to throw the vehicle into neutral until revving stops! Someone is going to have a significant accident or be killed with unexpected revving of the engine and the vehicle wanting to take off when you are at a stop!!!
