MY CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE PAST YEAR. TWO YEARS AGO MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND THAT WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME AND WAS ALSO A RECALL SITUATION. SINCE THEN THE SAME FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES AND THE SAME PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. MY CAR WILL STALL AND NOT START. AFTER THE FIFTH FUEL PUMP I CALLED THE COMPANY AND OPENED A CASE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS HAVE LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND WERE UNABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY HELP. PLEASE HELP!

JEEP WILL ONLY START WITH REMOTE STARTER. PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT WORK. I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED HOWEVER, AM JUST LEARNING OF A TIPM RECALL FOR THIS MODEL. VEHICLE WAS IN STATIONARY POSITION IN MY GARAGE WHEN IT WOULD NOT START.
Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 19, 2016
VEHICLE HAD EXTERNAL FUEL RELAY INSTALLED OVER A YEAR AGO BY DEALER. THIS VEHICLE HAD NOT EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL RELAY. NOW VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES - ENGINE STOPPING FOR NO REASON, EVEN WHILE DRIVING - AS DESCRIBED IN THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM. VERY DANGEROUS AND THE "FIX" BY FCA, APPEARS TO NOT BE A PERMANENT FIX.

I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND IT FELT AS IF I HAD NO PRESSURE IN THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND PULLED OVER. AT FIRST, THINKING THIS WAS A SCARY, ISOLATED INCIDENCE, I DROVE ON THE THREE BLOCKS TO THE GROCERY STORE. AT THE GROCERY STORE, I STOPPED IN THE PARKING LOT TO LET ANOTHER VEHICLE PULL OUT AND A WOMAN CROSS FROM HER CAR TO THE STORE. THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD FROM A DEAD STOP. I THREW IT IN NEUTRAL AND USED MY E-BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS TERRIFIED THAT I COULD HAVE RUN OVER A PEDESTRIAN. I WALKED FROM THE STORE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PICKED UP MY VEHICLE. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT UNTIL THEY SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE IT AND AM SERIOUSLY AFRAID THAT SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THE FIRST TIME, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING VERY SLOWLY FORWARD WHEN THE ACCELERATION OCCURRED. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS AT A DEAD STOP WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ACCELERATION OCCURRED. MY VEHICLE REMAINS IN THE SHOP AT THIS TIME BUT I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH WHATEVER THEY FIND.

PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE CURRENT RECALL ON MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND MY JEEP LOST COMPLETE POWER. I STARTED TO PANIC BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO CONTROL MY JEEP. LUCKILY, I WAS ON THE OUTSIDE LANE AND JUST COASTED TO A STOP. THEN, I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHILE I CALLED MY WIFE TO LET HER KNOW SHE WOULD NEED TO COME GET ME. THEN, I WENT TO SEE IF MY JEEP WOULD DRIVE ONE MORE TIME AND IT DROVE OFF JUST FINE. THEN, WHEN I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE I CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO ASK THEM TO FIX MY JEEP DUE TOT HE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE WAITING ON PARTS AND WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY COME IN. HOWEVER, NOW MY AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ON AS WELL AS MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON. I ALSO INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I PUSH ON MY BRAKES IT WILL FEEL AS IF I HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. WHEN I LOOK BEHIND ME THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT WOULD INDICATE I HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. UPDATED 11/19/15*LJ *TR

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN DECEMBER 2014. THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES. IT HAS ALWAYS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 50 MPH. IT HAS STALLED ON THE FREEWAY 2 TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN SPARED A SERIOUS TRAFFIC COLLISION DUE TO LIGHT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE NEVER THROWS A CODE WHEN IT STALLS. THERE IS NOTHING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN DO FOR THESE "PHANTOM" OCCURRENCES. THE TIPM HAS BEEN REPLACED SINCE THAT CAN SOMETIMES BE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE STALLING CONTINUES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS STALLING ISSUE AND THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SIMILAR PROBLEM. WHAT WILL IT TAKE BEFORE CHRYSLER ADDRESSES THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM? CURRENTLY, MY VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO PICKING UP MY VEHICLE SINCE THE PROBLEM IS ALWAYS LOOMING LIKE A BLACK CLOUD OVER MY HEAD.

JEEP WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE P54 FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL ON 6/12/15. NEXT MORNING AFTER RETURNING FROM DEALER, THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. THIS PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, AND THE ENGINE WOULD SOMETIMES START AFTER 15-30 MINUTES OF TRYING. EVENTUALLY ON 6/15/15 IT WOULDN'T START ALL MORNING SO WAS TOWED BACK TO DEALER. THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM AND RELEASED CAR BACK TO ME DOING NOTHING. INTERMITTENT NO START CONTINUED FOR WEEKS, CAR TAKEN BACK TO DEALER ON 7/6/15 AND THEY REPLACED WIN MODULE, ANOTHER COMPONENT OF IGNITION SYSTEM. NEXT MORNING, 7/7/15, CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. INTERMITTENT CRANK/NO START CONDITION CONTINUED TO OCCUR FOR WEEKS, CAR TAKEN BACK TO DEALER ON 7/22/15. THIS TIME DEALER SPENT ALMOST 3 WEEKS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. FIRST, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (THE RECALL PART ALREADY REPLACED ONCE) WAS DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY AND WAS REPLACED. THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND THE TIPM WAS SAID TO BE CAUSING THE CONDITION, AND WAS REPLACED ON 8/10/15. JEEP WORKED FOR A WEEK UNTIL TODAY, 8/15/15, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY LONG ISLAND ROAD CAR STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING ~30 MPH. MY WIFE AND OUR 4 MONTH OLD BABY WERE IN THE CAR, AND I WAS SOMEWHAT TERRIFIED. THERE WAS TRAFFIC SURROUNDING US, AND I WAS LEFT WITH NO POWER TO THE BRAKES OR STEERING. LUCKILY I WAS ALREADY IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PUT HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER SLOWLY WITHOUT INCIDENT. IF THERE HAD BEEN A RED LIGHT OR SUDDEN BRAKING IN FRONT OF ME HOWEVER, THE SITUATION WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT. AFTER PULLING OVER, CAR CRANKED/NO START AS IT HAS PREVIOUSLY FOR THE PAST MONTHS, AND DID SO FOR 20 MINUTES UNTIL FINALLY STARTED AND DROVE IT HOME. I HAVE HAD OUR JEEP IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL, BUT WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM! I AM AT MY WITS END, AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

ON OR ABOUT APRIL 20, 2015 I HAD JUST DRIVEN MY JEEP ABOUT 20 MILES TO GET GROCERIES CAME HOME UNLOADED AND WENT BACK TO START JEEP TO GO PICK UP GRAND DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL AND THE JEEP WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD CRANK FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN STOP. TRIED TO START 5 OR 6 TIMES. TOOK MY TRUCK TO GET GRAND DAUGHTER. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SENT DEALER TO GET JEEP. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER JEEP STARTED THEN BUT THEY TOOK IT TO CHECK IT OUT. AFTER 5 DAYS THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW BATTERY. THEY WANTED $355.31 FOR NEW BATTERY. TOOK JEEP TO 2 PARTS STORES AND THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS STRONGER THAN WHAT WAS POSTED ON BATTERY. ON MAY 7, 2015 I WAS OUT AT STORE AND JEEP WOULD NOT START. TRIED ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES AND THEN IT STARTED WITHOUT MY FOOT ON BRAKE BUT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. RESTARTED AND WAS FINE. CALLED DEALER AND TOOK BACK ON MAY 8, 2015. DEALER KEPT JEEP OVER NIGHT AND TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THROUGH MY SON IN LAWS SHOP COST ME $122.14. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $90.00 FOR THE TEST. SO I AM OUT OF $212.14 AS OF NOW. TODAY JUNE 13,2015 I WENT TO START MY JEEP AND IT WOULD NOT START. SAME AS BOTH TIMES BEFORE. I KNOW THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TIPM AND NO TEST WILL SHOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT. CALLED JEEP HOT LINE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS AND NO REPORTS. TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM TEST IT AGAIN THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE MY JEEP WAS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. I ONLY HAVE 32989 MILES ON MY JEEP. IT ONLY HAD 32627 ON THE SECOND VISIT TO DEALER. I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE JEEP BUT THEY CHARGE $50.00 IF THE TEST DON'T SHOW UP A PROBLEM. SO I AM BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF REPORTS ON HERE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I HAD THE TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY BYPASS "FIX" DONE LAST FALL AFTER FAILING TO START A NUMBER OF TIMES. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED SINCE I HAD THE REPAIR DONE. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT FAILS TO START A FEW TIMES EACH WEEK, EVENTUALLY STARTING AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG (NO ERROR CODES). THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE AND APPARENTLY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE. IT'S ALMOST CERTAINLY RELATED TO THE TIPM. I CONTINUE TO PAY DIAGNOSTIC CHARGES SINCE NO "CODES" ARE REGISTERING ANYWHERE. ($150.00) UNTIL THEY GET A "ERROR CODE", THEY CLAIM THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. I JUST WANT MY CAR TO START AND RUN WELL! *TR

FIRST INCIDENT WAS: ~11/24/2014 TOOK TO MOTHER LODE MOTORS, SONORA, CA SECOND INCIDENT WAS: 3-09-2015 TOOK TO MOTOR LODE MOTORS FOR RECALL P54/ NHTSA 14V-530 ( TIPM); TOOK TO CENTRAL VALLEY MOTORS IN MODESTO, CA MY JEEP WOULD NOT START. THE STARTING MOTOR CONTINUED TO TURN OVER EVEN WHEN I STOPPED PRESSING IT. BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A JEEP DEALER WITHIN 70 MILES, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER (DODGE) WHO CLAIMED TO BE ABLE TO MECHANICALLY WORK ON JEEPS. THEY USED TO BE A JEEP DEALER. I TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM. I LEFT IT OVER NIGHT. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO RESET THE COMPUTER. ($300). NO PARTS REPLACED. FOUR MONTHS LATER (3/9/2015) , THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, ONLY IT WAS WORSE. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME GARAGE, AND LEFT IT OVER NIGHT. THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THE WHOLE COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. ($1507). I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A REAL JEEP DEALER TO GET A RECALL ITEM FIXED. (P54/NHTSA 14V-530, TIPM). WHEN I MENTIONED THE ABOVE INCIDENT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL ITEM WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ABOVE INCIDENT, AND WHAT THE DODGE DEALER DID WAS NOT NECESSARY. FIXING THE RECALL ITEM WOULD HAVE FIXED IT, AT NO COST. THE DEALER THAT DID THE "UNNECESSARY" WORK THAT COST ME $1807, WAS "MOTHER LODE MOTORS" IN SONORA, CA 95370. I WENT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD A SUPERVISOR ABOUT THE INCIDENT, AND HE JUST LOOKED AT ME, DIDN'T SAY A WORD, DIDN'T EVEN ASK MY NAME OR APOLOGIZE. I CALLED THE OWNER OF MOTHER LODE MOTORS TO LET HIM KNOW OF MY COMPLAINT, AND HE BASICALLY ACCUSED ME OF MAKING EXCUSES AND SAID, ?HOW DID I KNOW THAT THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM?? AGAIN NO APOLOGY. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED 3 RECALL NOTICES REGARDING MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (NHTSA 14V154, 14V530 AND 14V391). AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE 14V154 I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (LARRY H MILLER IN BOISE IDAHO) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE BACK ORDERED WITH NO DATE WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THIS INFORMATION WAS REPEATED IN SEPTEMBER. HAVING NOW RECEIVED 3 RECALLS I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE TO HAVE ALL 3 RESOLVED AT THE SAME TIME. HOWEVER, WHEN I TRIED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE, I'M TOLD THAT, WHILE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, THEY WILL NOT ORDER THE PARTS UNTIL I BRING MY VEHICLE IN FIRST. WHEN I ASKED WHY THEY STATED THAT THEY NEEDED THE VIN NUMBER. HOWEVER, THEY NOT ONLY HAVE MY VEHICLE INFORMATION ON RECORD AND I HAD THE VIN AVAILABLE DURING THE CALL. I ASKED TO COMPLETE THE SERVICE ORDER ON THE PHONE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "POLICY" TO SCHEDULE SERVICE APPOINTMENTS ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PRESENT AND ONLY THEN WILL THEY ORDER PARTS. THIS DEALERSHIP HAS EXCEEDED THE REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS AND IS CREATING AN UNREASONABLE BARRIER TO COMPLETING THE SERVICES. *TR
