2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

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.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owner Comments

problem #2

Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.2L

• Automatic transmission
• 59,346 miles

For a upscale vehicle as Jeep and a $ 25,000. price tag you would expect a working radio for life, along with other issues with exterior lighting and u- connect phone issues. It is a shame for a great product to have gone to the dogs. I am tire of riding with a radio that had a mind of its own, comes on and goes off when it wants to. And the auto select knob for the exterior lights works when it feels good and ready, sick of this stuff. Chrysler/Jeep need to step up and correct these problems, I know I am not the only Jeep owner with these issues. Please if any one has any resolutions let me know. Hope Chrysler/Jeep is reading this with the willingness to correct the issues.

problem #1

Grand Cherokee SRT8 6.4L

• Automatic transmission
• 21,000 miles

Here's the video. https://www.flickr.com/photos/8653023@N08/sets/72157646443370738/ Radio randomly turns off and on. Worried this is part of a larger issue with the TIPM that so many others have experienced. Dealership ordered a replacement media center/radio... just worried this may be a bigger problem.

2012 Jeep Cherokee Radio Replacement

And, after all of this, I realized that it only updated from 2012 to 2013. So, after all this trouble, my map is still four years old.
