Jeep Grand Cherokee

Years: 2011, 2014

Being so long into this world, it’s understandable that larger of the Cherokees also suffers from issues of its own. 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee suffers from faulty TIPM, for instance. FCA’s totally integrated power module can cause a lot of ruckus if faulty, and Fiat-Chrysler simply loves making things that are broken down. TIPM is basically FCA car’s brain for all electrical-related things and it’s understandable how big of an issue defective brain might be. It affects everything from power windows to engine. Needless to say, the biggest issue is engine that doesn’t want to start or stalls during driving because some part of the TIPM system doesn’t do its job properly.

2014 Grand Cherokee, on the other hand, suffers from the good old transmission problems. Apart from standard shifting troubles like irregular shifts, jerking in lower gears, etc. – 2014 Grand Cherokee has also been subjected to a recall for rolling away while in park. Sadly, not soon enough for Anton Yelchin as already mentioned above.
