The car will not start. The car will crank as if it is about to start and then will not start. After some time, it may start and then appears like fuel was not getting to the engine and then stall. Then when i try to start it again, it would not start. My mechanic tells me it is the tipm. Complaints with the tipm for the 2011 jeep grand cherokee is a well known issue. Feel free to look it up on various online…

Several attempts were made throughout the day to start my 2011 grand jeep cherokee and it would not start, only a clicking noise. I took it to the dealer immediately and the tipm is bad and needs to be replaced. Obviously, my car is only 3 years old and not under warranty now. The part alone is over $900.00, which seems questionable that something would go bad so quickly on a vehicle and cost so much to repair.…

Our jeep requires the totally integrated power module (tipm) to be replaced. This system starts the car. It is extremely unsafe for a motorist to be stranded without the vehicle being able to start. *tr

The tipa is defective and the fuel pump won't turn on, therefore my car is unable to start. I have to pay $1300 to repair this as the car is now out of warranty. I have done research and learning this is an extremely common defect in the jeeps. *tr

I started having issues with my 2011 jeep grand cherokee in late july/ early august where the vehicle would have issues starting. I replaced the batteries in the key fob, but it didn't solve the problem. I took it into the dealership as the problems had continued and increased. I informed them that i had read about the issues with the tipm, but they disregarded my concern and told me that the computer was not…

About a month ago, my jeep had problems starting. When pushing the start button, it would just turn over and over but fail to fire up. Shut it off, wait, restart the process is the only way to finally get it to start. The problem now has progressed to almost every time and 5-6 x to finally start. I know this site wants me to log each incident separately, but i'd be doing that 5x a day...ugh! Not looking forward to a…

I have a 2011 jeep grand cherokee limited with approximately 32k miles. I began seeing an issue several weeks ago where the engine would crank but wouldn't start (using push button starter). Eventually it would start. Over the last several weeks the problem has intermittently reappeared but seems to be getting worse as it's taking longer to start once the issue is seen. I've noticed that if i use the key instead of…

The jeep would not start on the first try. It either cranks and cranks and never turns over, or it turns over but never reaches a good idle state and just shuts off. After a few attempts, it would finally start and be ok until the next time i leave it alone for an extended period. I believe the symptoms i am experiencing are the same as those that have been reporting a problem with the tipm, which seems to be a very…

When trying to start my jeep on friday 7/25 i found that when i push the start button the vehicle would not turn over. It would engage and attempt to turn over but would not start. I tested the battery and it read to be normal and upon further review i found many other consumers had the same problem, the vehicle would randomly not start. This happens to me about once a month since we purchased it in march of 2014.…

I've been researching online of similar problems and it all point to the (tipm). My car does not start, and when it starts, it stalls right away. The truck even stalled while running, luckily i was going less than 35 mph with very little traffic, i could only imagine if this could have happened while i was driving on the freeway going like 60 mph. I drive with my wife, 2 children and a newborn and do not want to put…

The engine will crank but will not turnover. It appears that it is not getting fuel. After research on the internet, we identified the tipm issue. I tested the fuel pump relay and it is not reliably sending power to the fuel pump. The relay cannot be individually replaced, the whole tipm needs to be rebuilt or replaced. *tr

My wife was driving the vehicle across a busy intersection, an intersection where 2 lanes merge into one on the far side. She was in the through lane, the left lane. Our vehicle lost all engine power. Cars were merging from the right and no one could comprehend that our vehicle was in a failure mode. With engine not running, and bells ringing which no idea why the bells, the power-steering was inoperative and the…

Jeep gc2011 stalls whiling driving. Ongoing since 2012; mechanics have done a lot of service and repair very costly out of my pocket expences but has not fixed the stalling. Says it maybe the alternator, throttle or ignition problem. The 2011 model should be included in the chrysler recall #t36 (nhtsa #17v435).

Problem started a few months ago with my 2011 jeep grand cherokee. The vehicle wouldn't start with the push button nor the key. The problem progressively got worse to the point of taking up to ten minutes to crank the jeep. Would turn the ignition to "run" for several minutes before the vehicle would start. Once the repair shop located the source of the problem, the jeep wouldn't crank at all. Had to replace the…
