Jeep Grand Cherokee VIN Number Check

2022–present (5th generation, WL)

Electrical complaints lead NHTSA reports for the 2022, the first two-row model of this generation. Owners describe dead batteries and no-starts, including 4xe plug-in hybrids whose 12-volt battery drains while parked, along with display and rearview camera faults, and a Jeep Garage thread about a dead 2022 Overland reflects the same pattern. Recalls include a center display that can overheat and lose the camera image, camera software, upper ball joints that could separate on 2022–2023 models and rear coil springs that could detach. CarComplaints has only a handful of 2022 owner reports so far. [1] [2] [3]

2011–2021 (4th generation, WK2)

The 2011, first year of this generation, draws the most complaints, mainly electrical. Owners describe no-starts and stalling tied to the TIPM power module, and CarComplaints says no-start complaints jumped sharply for 2011 before falling in 2012. A recall for 2011–2013 models replaced the TIPM fuel pump relay, a frequent Jeep Garage topic, because it could fail and stall the engine without warning. On 2014–2015 models, NHTSA complaints focus on the monostable electronic shifter, and a recall added software to help prevent rollaways when the driver exits without selecting Park.

2005–2010 (3rd generation, WK)

Complaints for the 2008 are overwhelmingly electrical, and many owners describe the engine stalling without warning at various speeds, including on the highway. CarComplaints ranks electronic throttle control and check engine warning lights first for 2008, followed by no-starts and loss of power while driving, typically at around 90,000 to 100,000 miles. A recall for 2005–2010 models addressed a transfer case electrical fault that could shift it into neutral and let a parked vehicle roll away. This generation is now old, so its history of electrical repairs matters as much as its recall status. [9] [10]
