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 contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving approximately 70 mph, the contact heard an usual noise and the vehicle began to vibrate violently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the lug nuts on the rear passenger wheel fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred on the rear driver side wheel, and then again on the rear passenger side wheel. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
