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.
Started three weeks ago. (01/28/16). When starting, car headlights would flash three times and then remain off. Took vehicle to dealer next day.The headlights worked at the dealer after pushing on the fuse. Next day same thing when starting. Flash three times, then off. Took vehicle for the second time. They had to reset TIPM and normal operation returned. Cost $132.50 One week later same problem and returned to dealer where they have informed me that I need a new TIPM. Apx. cost $1,200.00 and no guarantee.
