WHEN THE ENGINE WAS I COMPLETE PARKED AND WANTED TO STARTED WOULDN'T START AFTER A COUPLE TRIES WOULD START WITHOUT AN ISSUE, BUT TODAY I HAVE TRIED WHAT I USED TO DO AND WON'T START, I'VE HEARD OF A RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC YEAR BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING ON THE MAIL. *TR

THIS CAN RESULT IN A NO-START CONDITION OR AN ENGINE STALL CONDITION IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. A VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITH OUT PRIOR WARNING." SIX MONTHS AFTER NOTIFICATION RESOLUTION STILL NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO "PARTS NOT AVAILABLE." ONE WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER COULD SOLVE A CRITICAL SITUATION LIKE THIS WITHIN A SIX MONTH TIME FRAME!

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM LICCARDI CHRYSLER DODGE RAM IN GREEN BROOK, NJ IN FEBRUARY, 2020. IMMEDIATELY, THE CAR ENGINE STALLED, TURNING OFF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AND GAS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LICCARDI, THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE OIL PAN LEAK AND I SPENT $2,000 ON REPAIRS. SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS STALLED 4 TIMES, COMING TO A STOP. STILL, LICCARDI REFUSES TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM, SAYING THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE IT AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF A RECALL OR A REMEDY FOR A RECALL. I AM OUT OF OPTIONS AND DESPERATELY NEED HELP. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, May 13, 2020
RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN NOVEMBER 2019, AND STILL NO PART AVAILABLE FROM CHRYSLER. MY JEEP IS HAVING THE ISSUE RELATED TO THE RECALL AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. THERE IS TEMPORARY PART AVAILABLE AT THE DEALER THAT THEY CAN PUT IN THE MEANTIME, BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND THE PART AND LABOR AND IF THEY AGREE, THEY MAY REIMBURSE ME FOR SOME OF IT. THAT IS NOT OKAY, BECAUSE IF THE ORIGINAL PART WAS AVAILABLE BY KNOW, I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING! THE RECALLED PART, FUEL RELAY ISSUES, CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL WITH OUT WARNING, WHILE YOUR RUNNING OR NOT START AT ALL. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ISSUE DUE TO A RECALL. SIX MONTHS TO COME UP WITH A RECALLED PART IS A LITTLE LONG TO MAKE "MINOR FIX" AS I'VE BEEN TOLD 15 TIMES! *TR

MY JEEP HAS STALLED AT LEAST 5 TIMES WITH THE POWER STEERING FAILING. 1) ONCE WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION TURNING LEFT ON A GREEN ARROW NO STEERING. 2) TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH AND STALLED AGAIN AND NO STEERING. 3) TWICE GOING FROM 55 MPH UP TO A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN NO STEERING. 4) JUST LAST FRIDAY, I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH AND SLOWING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND AGAIN STALLED AND NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS GETTING SERIOUS AND HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH MAKES DRIVING DANGEROUS. THE STALLING IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW. I'VE CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY SAY A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT NO FIX HAS TAKEN PLACE AND IS TO BE DETERMINED WITH NO IDEA WHEN. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED LATE LAST YEAR. SO HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FIX A RELAY ISSUE? THIS HAS GONE ON FAR TO LONG AND GETTING SCARY. PLEASE HELP ME AND GET SOME KIND OF ANSWER FROM JEEP.

ON 4/10/2020 I WAS IDLING IN GEAR IN A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU LANE. I COULD HEAR AND FEEL THE ENGINE START TO SPUTTER. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND TRIED APPLYING GAS TO KEEP THE ENGINE AT A HIGHER REV. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE ENGINE STOPPED. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START BUT ALL IT DID WAS TO HAVE AN EXTENDED CRANK TIME WITHOUT IT STARTING. I WAS ABLE TO GET SOME HELP TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF SITTING I WAS ABLE TO START IT AND DRIVE IT HOME. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THIS ISSUE. THE LAST TIME WAS WHILE I WAS ENTERING AND TURNING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. ANOTHER TIME WAS WHILE I WAS 25 MILES DOWN A DIRT ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE TIPM AND/OR THE FUEL PUMP(S) REPLACED AT A JEEP DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNDER ANY CONDITION! I USE IT TO TOW MY TRAILER AND TO GO OFF-ROADING. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS DOING EITHER ONE OF THESE AT THE TIME OF A FAILURE!

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT JEEP IN EXCESS OF 45 DAYS FOR REPAIRS. ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS STARTING MY JEEP. THEN, ON DECEMBER 25, 2019, I RECEIVE THE V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL FOR MY JEEP. I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SERVICE NUMBER. THEY WERE OF NO ASSISTANCE. NHTSA: REQUEST #254540 COMPLAINT (TRACKING NUMBER) ID: 11 29 23 50. ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 31, 2019, I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. ON JANUARY 2, 2020, RESPONDED THAT FIAT NEEDED TO BE GIVEN TIME TO FIND A FIX. THIS WAS CONFIRMED IN A TELEPHONE CALL WITH NHTSA ON JANUARY 3, 2020. THE JEEP CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH NOT STARTING. ON MARCH 23, 2020, MY HOUSEMATE WAS DRIVING THE JEEP. HE PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. NOTHING HAPPENED. HE COASTED TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL WAS ON THE DASH. HE DECIDED TO RETURN HOME. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE JEEP AGAIN. ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 24, 2020, WE HAD IT TOWED TO LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP OF RENO. LITHIA DIAGNOSED IT AS HAVING A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY SUBJECT TO THE SAFETY RECALL V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY. FIAT REFUSED AGAIN TO ENGAGE IN ANY DISCUSSION OF BUYBACK. FIAT HAS HAD OVER THREE MONTHS AND PRESUMABLY SEVERAL MORE MONTHS 'TO DEVELOP A SOLUTION' YET IT HAS NOT. MY JEEP SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY UNDRIVABLE, A WORTHLESS PIECE OF UNSAFE JUNK. THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. THERE ARE NO LIKE VEHICLES AVAILABLE (THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM). UNDER FEDERAL REGULATIONS, FCA MUST BUY-BACK MY JEEP. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS FEDERALLY MANDATED REMEDY IMPLEMENTED.

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A NO START CONDITION DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILING. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE RESULTING IN DANGEROUS CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 30, 2020
WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN/COME TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL SPORADICALLY STALL. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL STILL WORKS (RADIO, LIGHTS, STEREO) AND THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT SHOW UP ON THE DASH. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF IS TO EITHER LOOK AT THE TACHOMETER AND NOTICE THE NEEDLE IS SITTING ON ZERO, OR PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT UP WITH A PUSH OF THE START BUTTON. ALL PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AS WELL AS THE LATEST V62 INTERIM RECALL AS RECENT AS 3 DAYS AGO. VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN THIS MORNING WHILE APPROACHING A 4-WAY STOP SIGN ON THE WAY TO WORK.

ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS STARTING MY JEEP. THEN, ON DECEMBER 25, 2019, I RECEIVE THE V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL FOR MY JEEP, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:*DT OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOUR VEHICLE [1] WAS INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL P54 (NHTSA 14V-530) OR SAFETY RECALL R09 (NHTSA 15V-115). THE REMEDY FOR THE PREVIOUS RECALLS WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. IF YOU HAD EITHER OF THESE RECALLS COMPLETED, THE INSTALLED REMEDY RELAY IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SILICON CONTAMINATION ON THE RELAY CONTACTS, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE RELAY TO FAIL. A FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE CAN RESULT IN A NO-START CONDITION OR AN ENGINE STALL CONDITION IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. A VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ['] THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. THIS WAS OF GREAT CONCERN. IN THE 1980S I WAS DRIVING ON THE CONGESTED FREEWAYS OF LA WHEN MY BMW SUDDENLY JUST TURNED OFF. I BARELY MANAGED TO COAST TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT BEING REAR ENDED. I WAS IN TERROR AS I HAD JUST BEEN REAR-ENDED A YEAR PRIOR WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. TO THIS DAY I HAVE PAIN IN MY SHOULDER, AND TWO PINCHED NERVES IN MY NECK. SO, I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SERVICE NUMBER. GIVEN THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REMEDY, AND THAT 'VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING', I WAS GOING TO ASK FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE AGENT INSISTED THAT I FIRST HAD TO TAKE MY JEEP TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AND CONFIRM THE EXISTENCE OF A PROBLEM. THAT IS PATENTLY RIDICULOUS AS THE PROBLEM CAN NOT EXIST AND THEN, ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE, ARISE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND 'CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING'. IN FACT, THAT FIRST TIME COULD BE ON THE WAY TO MY LOCAL DEALER. *DT *JB (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

VEHICLE CONSTANTLY STALLS. RECALL WAS PERFORMED FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HOWEVER THIS DID NOT COMPLETELY SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS IT STILL STALLS RANDOMLY OR WON'T START AT ALL. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT ON THE ROAD FROM RANDOM STALLS. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANICS AND THEY SAY THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS BURNING OUT THE FUSES AND I NEED TO CONSTANTLY CHECK ON THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT BURNT OUT. TOOK IT TO BROOKDALE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE AFTER RECALL WAS PERFORMED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT STILL STALLING YEARS AGO. BROOKDALE CHRYSLER REFUSED TO PERFORM ANY SERVICE AS THEY COULD NOT 'DUPLICATE' THE ISSUE. EVER SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT'S HORRIFYING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES AND INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED AS I'M STILL PAYING OFF THIS VEHICLE. RANDOMLY STALLS ON TURNS, CITY ROADS, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OR EVEN WHEN IN IDLE.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD, HAS STARTED TO STALL OUT WHEN I AM ACCELERATING FORWARD. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND HAS SHOWN A ZIGZAG ICON, ON MY SCREEN,( WHICH I AM NOT SURE OF THE MEANING OF THAT ICON). BUT I DO KNOW IF FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS A FUEL FAILURE, PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN ON CITY STREETS, AND WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN ON ACCELERATION. IT ALMOST HAS COME TO A STALL, ON ALL OCCASIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHOUT NOTICE, ON AT LEAST, HALF A DOZEN TIMES. IT IS SCARY AS I SOMETIMES NEED TO HAVE MORE POWER, THAN I AM GETTING WHEN IT STALLS. IT HAS ENOUGH HESITATION, TO CAUSE ME TO BE IN DANGER AT TIMES. I AM TRYING TO GET AN APPT AT JIM SMOLICH MOTORS, IN BEND OREGON, TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, BUT I DID NOTICE A RECALL NOTICE, THAT IS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE, AND THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE THIS IS.
