Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011–2015): what actually fails
The documented failure patterns on used Jeep Grand Cherokees — the mileage window where each shows up,
and what the repair typically costs at an independent shop. This is the same data NoLemon's Brief checks
against every VIN.
Failing Totally Integrated Power Modules cause no-starts, fuel pumps running after shutdown, and random electrical gremlins. Verify consistent starts and check for TIPM replacement records.
BEFORE YOU BUY Ask for repair records covering this item. If it hasn't been addressed and the
car is in or near the mileage window, price the $500–$1,500 repair into your offer — or make it the seller's problem.

Rollaway shifter & alternator failures (recalls)
The confusing monostable gear shifter caused rollaways (a recall adds auto-park), and 3.6L alternators can die suddenly and stall the vehicle (also recalled). Both fixes are free — run the VIN for open recalls. Random warning lights or repeated dead batteries point to deeper electrical trouble; scan for codes before buying.
