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.

The transmission started leaving spots on the driveway. I took it in and the diagnosis was the transmission had to be replaced. This happened ONLY ONE (1) MONTH AFTER I HAD TO HAVE THE F*?@ING ENGINE REPLACED!!!!!

In the shop for a month after very recently waiting 3 months for the engine to be replaced.

Third Jeep Grand Cherokee I've owned. Last Grand Cherokee I will ever own.
