WHILE DRIVING CAR WOULD STALL. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL GET HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT'S A NEW RECALL., AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. NOBODY NEEDS TO GET HURT DUE TO LACK OF ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THE PART SHOULD BE OUT AND READY TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND AGAIN, NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THIS HAPPENS UNANNOUNCED..WHILE DRIVING, TURNING ECT. I'M SCARED..AND WAS TOLD NOT SURE WHEN PART WILL BE COMING IN POSSIBLY MID JANUARY! THAT'S CRAZY! I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THIS PART REPLACED IN THE PAST NOT SURE..WILL TRY AND FIND OUT FROM THE MECHANIC. BUT IT HAPPENED ED AGAIN ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 29, 2019
I HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. IT WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL (P54) WHICH WAS FOR A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY WOULD CAUSE THE JEEP TO LOOSE ALL POWER WHICH, IN TURN, CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKING MAKING THE CARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING WHEN THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILED. I HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED, BUT IN 2019 THE VERY SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER AND IF THEY VERIFIED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS FAULTY THEY WOULD PAY FOR REPAIRS. I DID THAT AND ACTUALLY CALLED JEEP WHEN TO NOTIFY WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN. THE JEEP DEALER VERIFIED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS FAULT AGAIN AND REPLACED. BUT, JEEP FAILED TO PAY AND I HAD TO. THEY HAVE NOT REFUNDED THE COST TO ME. JEEP HAS REPLACED A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY WITH EXACTLY THE SAME THING, A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY, EXPOSING MOTORISTS TO EXTREME DANGER. IF YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IN TRAFFIC AND YOU LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD BE INVOLVED. JEEP KNEW WHAT IT WAS DOING IN REPLACING A FAULTY PART WITH EXACTLY THE SAME FAULTY PART IN THE RECALL.

I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THAT THIS 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (3.6 PENTASTAR ENGINE) STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT LEAST TWICE IN AUGUST, NUMEROUS TIMES IN SEPTEMBER, AND ALREADY TWICE THIS MONTH (OCTOBER). WHAT IS MORE CONCERNING IS THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE WARNS OF THE PENDING STALL CONDITION. ALSO, I HAVE HAD THE THERMOSTAT, LIFTERS, TAPPETS, ROCKER ARMS, CYLINDER HEAD, SPARK PLUGS, AND IGNITION COILS REPLACED AND PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KOONS TYSONS CORNER). THE DEALER CANNOT READ ANY ACTIVE OR STORED CODES FOR THE STALLING ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, THE SHOP FOREMAN ADVISED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE THE FUEL PUMP. I ORDERED THE $540.00 FUEL PUMP AND HAD REPLACED ON MONDAY OCTOBER 7, 2019 FOR AN ADDITIONAL $630.00. IRONICALLY ENOUGH, THE VEHICLE STALLED GOING HOME AND THE FUEL PUMP REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC AND SERVICE ADVISOR NOW SAY THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THE PCM AND THEN THE TIPUM IF ALL ELSE FAILS. THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL $3,000.00 IN ESTIMATED SERVICE THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THE MOST CONCERNING THING IS THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA, WHOM INITIALLY JUST CLOSED THE CASE. I THEN FILED ANOTHER ONE TODAY AND REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH A CASE MANAGER, WHICH IS PENDING (NO FAITH AT THIS POINT). IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT FCA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS ADDRESSED IN THE RECALL: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 188,723 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS IN THE U.S. BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE POWER MODULE THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO "STALL WITHOUT WARNING."

3 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS THIS CAR HAS STALLED WHILE BRAKING CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH ON ONE OCCASION. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD BUT THE LAST TWO TIMES HAPPENED 9/26/19 WHERE I HAD TO BRAKE WHILE TURNING AND ON THIS OCCASION I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR INTO A MEDIAN. EACH TIME I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALER SOON AFTER FOR AN INSPECTION AND EACH TIME I'M TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES ARE VISIBLE AND THEIR ROAD TESTS DO NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, THE DEALER DID HOWEVER REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (I THINK AS PART OF SOME RECALL) BUT DID NOT INDICATE THIS WAS THE SPECIFIC REASON FOR MY CAR STALLING. THIS REPAIR SEEMED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE UNTIL 9/26/19 WHEN IT HAPPENED TWICE CONSECUTIVELY. I FEAR THIS IS RELATED TO THE COUNTLESS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS YEAR AND MODEL. I ASKED THE DEALER IF IT'S PERHAPS RELATED TO ALL THE TIPM ISSUES I'VE READ ABOUT WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND THEY SAID WITHOUT A DIAGNOSTIC CODES OR WITHOUT REPRODUCING THE ISSUE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL. I'M TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN I'VE LOST CONTROL OF IT 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS AND ALMOST CRASHED IT ONCE? I FEAR THAT THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND MAY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE BUT I'M BEING TOLD IT'S FINE. I'D REALLY LOVE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS OR GIVE ME GUIDANCE.

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR DUE TO THE LISTED RECALL IN WHICH CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE! THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSES BECAUSE I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP! I WAS IN MOTION GOING 55 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FAST LANE WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED FOR NO REASON. THE JEEP SERVICE TECH HAS LINKED IT BACK TO THE SAME FUEL RELAY AND THIS COULD BE A FATAL PROBLEM IF NOT FIXED. PLEASE I HAVE THREE KIDS AND MYSELF THAT COULD BE INJURED IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED ASAP!!*DT*JB CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 188,723 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS IN THE U.S. BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE POWER MODULE THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO "STALL WITHOUT WARNING," ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. THE SUVS ARE EQUIPPED WITH EITHER A 3.6-LITER V6 OR 5.7-LITER V8 ENGINE. "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE MAY FAIL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING," SAID NHTSA IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE PROBLEM. "A VEHICLE STALL INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH." THIS IS PART OF A GLOBAL RECALL OF AN ESTIMATED 230,760 CHRYSLER SUVS, INCLUDING 15,898 IN CANADA, 7,126 IN MEXICO AND 19,013 OUTSIDE THE NAFTA REGION. CHRYSLER SAID IT IS UNAWARE OF ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES LINKED TO THE RECALL. IT ADDED THAT NO OTHER VEHICLE FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, ARE AFFECTED BY THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY. THE AFFECTED SUVS WERE BUILT FROM JANUARY 5, 2010 TO JULY 20, 2011. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY WITH ONE EXTERNAL TO THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OCTOBER 24. OWNERS CAN CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.*DT*JB *DT

THE PUSH START WON'T START THE VEHICLE AND VEHICLE STALLS. I BROUGHT IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND GAVE ME A QUOTE OF THE COST TO FIX IT.
Electrical system, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 28, 2019
THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS DEFECTIVE. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED BUT THE PATCH "FIX" JEEP DOES DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY AND THEY KNOW THIS. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER WHICH DOES NOT SEND CORRECT SIGNAL TO FUEL PUMP. ON START CAR WILL NOT START OFTEN BECAUSE IT IS NOT RECEIVING ANY FUEL. I AM AFRAID THIS CHEAP "FIX" JEEP CAME UP WITH WILL CAUSE THE FUEL TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE BIGGEST DEFECT WITH THE CAR IS THE V-8 HEMI CAM SHAFT AND LIFTERS. EVERY MECHANIC I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TOO HAS SAID THAT JEEP KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN MY JEEP LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING WHICH WITH THE LOSS OF POWER CAUSE ME TO JUST ABOUT HAVE A WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SCENARIO. I TOOK IT TO MY TRUSTED MECHANIC WHO FOUDN A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE & PERFORMED A TUNE UP AND HE SAID I NEEDED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO JEEP AS THEY ARE KNOWN TO HAVE SEVER PROBLEMS. THE DEALER CHARGED ME TO "DIGANOSE" THE PROBLEM AND REPORTED BACK THAT THE LIFTERS AND CAM SHAFT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A BAD PROBLEM FOR JEEP THE LIFTERS HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY WILL NOT ADMIT IT IS A PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND NOW LOOKIN G AT REBUILDING AN ENGINE AND JEEP WILL ONLY PROVIDE 2 YEAR WARRANTY OR THE WORK, WHICH SHOWS THEY HAVE NO TRUST IN THE FIX AND THERE IS A FATAL FLAW WITH THE V-8 HEMI. PLEASE FORCE JEEP TO HONOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND CORRECT THE KNOWN MISTAKES WITH THEIR ENGINES.

THIS VEHCULO HAS STALLED REPEATEDLY. TWO TIPIM-7 HAVE BEEN REPLACED. ONE COVERED WHEN I DID NOT OWN THE CAR, ONE WHEN I DID TO OVER 1,200 IN FEES.

ALL OF MY ADULT FRIENDS HAVE WITNESSED THIS IN MY VEHCAL AND ALSO HAVE RECORDED. RIDICULOUS. I HAVE OWNED JEEPS PROUDLY MY ENTIRE LIFE. WILL NEVER AGAIN , AND I TELL ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS NOT BEING STOOD BEHIND WITH CHRYSLER. I'VE INSTRUCTED WHEN I DO GET BROADSIDED TO TELL MY STORY AND SHOW THE VIDEOS. AGAIN I WILL ASK IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO FORWARD THEM ON. THIS IS A FATALITY READY TO HAPPEN FOR MYSELF. IT IS ALWAYS IN MOTION AND ALWAYS AT A TURN FIRSTAND THEN WHEN STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE! IT HAS BEEN SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2014 AND UP UNTIL TODAY AS WELL. 4.5 YEARS! PLEASE I BEG YOU TO CALL ME!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ORR CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (900 TRUMAN BAKER DR, SEARCY, AR 72143, (501) 279-3311) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AT THE SAME INTERSECTION. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AGAIN AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 10, 2019
MY VEHICLE IS NOW REGULARLY (AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND AT RANDOM) STALLING WHILE IN MOTION WHEN I BEGIN TO BRAKE AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. IT CUTS OFF IN MOTION AND LOSES ALL POWER STEERING; I LITERALLY HAVE TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD (ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS) AND HAVE TO RESTART IT. I HAVE NOW BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. THERE WAS A PRIOR RECALL FOR A FUEL PUMP RELAY WHERE RANDOM STALLING CAN OCCUR BUT THAT RECALL PART HAS ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED. I HAVE TAKEN TO CERTIFIED JEEP DEALERSHIP WHO HAS SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SINCE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. I JUST CONTACTED THE JEEP CORPORATE OFFICE AS A LAST RESORT AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY CAN DO NOTHING TO HELP OR GIVE ME ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO CORRECT ISSUE (THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN...); INSTEAD THEY GAVE ME A DISCLAIMER THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY WOULD OPERATE LIKE THIS AND OFFER NO ASSISTANCE OR ADVICE WITH A VEHICLE THEY BUILT THAT IS CLEARLY MALFUNCTIONING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY.

FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL- I PURCHASED THE USED CAR IN MAY 2018, NOTHING ABOUT THE RECALLS WAS DISCLOSE. RECENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN OR RUMBLING AS I'M DRIVING. THANKFULLY I'M DRIVING IN THE CITY AND I CAN PULL TO THE SIDE. EVERY TIME I SHAKE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY 'REPAIR' IT STARTS UP STRONG AGAIN. I TRIED TAKING INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS FIXED BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING CAUSE THEY ALREADY FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WASN'T FIXED. IT WAS CHEAPLY FIXED.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH OR 3000 RPMS. I LET OFF THE GAS THINKING THE JEEP WOULD SLOW, BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE BY BRAKING (OBVIOUSLY). HOWEVER, I WAS STILL UNABLE TO GO FASTER THAN APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH OR 3000 RPMS. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP TWICE BEFORE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS TOLD THE OIL PUMP WAS STUCK ON LOW (?) THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE DESPITE REGULAR SERVICE MAINTENANCE VISITS.

JEEP WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. WENT TO START UP AND JEEP INTERMITTENTLY STARTS & THEN CUTS OFF OR WILL NOT START AT ALL. NOW BEING SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. HOWEVER, HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THE SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE THE SAME AS YOUR FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL BACK IN 2014 FOR 2011 JEEP/GRAND CHEROKEE. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION. IS THIS STILL COVERED UNDER THE RECALL?
