I'VE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES ON A JEEP I PURCHASE LAST FEBRUARY (USED) ON RECALLS P14, P36 AND P54. I CONTINUOUSLY CALL JEEP TO HAVE THESE ISSUES REPAIRED AND AM TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, JEEP HASN'T SHIPPED OR THEY JUST HAVE TOO MANY RECALLS. HOW DO I GET MY RECALLS FIXED BEFORE I DO HAVE A CRASH?? I AM CONCERNED. *TR

Electronic stability control (ESC), Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 20, 2014
ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, MY ENGINED BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. FINALLY MY CAR WOULD NOT START UP AND REQUIRED TOWING. THROUGHOUT THIS TIME, ABNORMAL NOISES COULD BE HEARD FROM THE STARTER. THE DEALER TRIED TO REPAIR IT BY REPLACING THE CHRYSLER JEEP TAFN KIT AND CHARGED ME $1,361 FOR THE SERVICE. BUT THE CAR WAS STILL NOT REPAIRED AND WORKING PROPERLY SINCE IT CONTINUED STALLING WHILE DRIVING PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY, NOT ACCELERATING, SHOWING THE ELECTRONIC STABILIZER LIGHT GOING ON ALONG WITH NO POWER, AND EMITTING SCREECHING NOISES WHEN TURNED ON. AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT IT "MIGHT BE CAM SENSOR" AND CHARGED ME AGAIN ($324) FOR A REPAIR SERVICE THAT HAD NO IMPACT EXCEPT TO MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE. SO THE CAR IS STILL NOT REPAIRED OR FUNCTIONING AND CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBE ABOVE. IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR, I RECEIVED A RECALL (P54) NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT A FUEL PUMP RELAY PROBLEM THAT DESCRIBED THE PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY CAR WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS; BUT YOU CAN SEE, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. IN ITS RECALL MESSAGE, CHRYSLER RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT YOU IF MY DEALER HAS FAILED OR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE. MY COMPLAINT IS TWO FOLD: THE DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED AND THE DEALER KEEPS CHARGING ME FOR EACH SERVICE REPAIR VISIT. *DT

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FOR MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN OCTOBER 2014. THE VEHICLE NOW STRUGGLES TO START ALMOST EVERY TIME IT IS PROMPTED TO. IT USUALLY TAKES TWO OR THREE ATTEMPTS TO SUCCESSFULLY START AFTER IT MAKES A SORT OF REV TYPE OF NOISE AND EVEN PRODUCES AN ODOR WHICH IS SMELT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THE PART TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE, AND WHEN IT DOES BECOME AVAILABLE, THERE ARE OVER 20 PEOPLE AHEAD OF ME ON THE WAITING LIST TO BE REPAIRED. THE RECALL STATES THAT THE ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH MAKES ME FEARFUL FOR MY, AND OTHERS, SAFETY BEING THAT I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE EVERYDAY. *TR
Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 15, 2014
VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO START. TRIES TO TURN OVER BUT WON'T. HAD HAPPENED VERY INTERMITTENTLY FOR PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. OVER PAST MONTH HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME I TRY TO START THE CAR. USED TO ONLY DO IT ONCE AND THEN IT WOULD START ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT BUT IS NOW DOING THE "TRY BUT WON'T START" THING 6 AND 7 TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE IT WILL FINALLY TURN OVER. NOW SMELLING RAW FUEL AFTER IT STARTS DUE TO IT TRYING SO MANY TIMES TO CRANK. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE SAME EXCUSE AS MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE..."WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET." I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS 2 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES IF IT BEGINS STALLING IN TRAFFIC LIKE OTHERS ARE REPORTING, IT'S COMPLETELY TRASHING MY STARTER/BATTERY/ETC AS IT SITS THERE AND TRIES TO CRANK MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE IN MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AS I HAVE HAD TONS OF RUN INS WITH THEM OVER WARRANTY WORK DUE TO MULTIPLE PROBLEMS MY JEEP HAS HAD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR
Electrical system, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 14, 2014
MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES STARTING/STALLING, AND SOUNDS LIKE THE WATER PUMP AND/OR ALTERNATOR IS FAILING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS IS ALL TIED TO P54/NHTSA 14V-530. THE TIPM PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE BACK IN OCTOBER 2014. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE PARTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR WEEKS, POSSIBLY MONTHS. I CALLED JEEP/CHRYSLER AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT IS THE CAUSE OF MY PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVE NO DATE THAT RECALL REPLACEMENT/CORRECTION PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I ASKED THEM WHAT I SHOULD DO SINCE I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T WANT TO START (TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS), THAT STALLS OUT, AND THAT OTHER COMPONENTS UNDER THE HOOD ARE BEING AFFECTED. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER ANY TOWING, OR RENTAL COSTS, AND HAD NO GUIDANCE ON WHAT TO DO BESIDES "GOOD LUCK". THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, I CAN BECOME STRANDED, THE CAR COULD STALL (POTENTIALLY WHILE DRIVING AND THIS CAR IS ALWAYS ON HIGHWAY HIGH SPEED DRIVING), AND I NOW HAVE OTHER PARTS UNDER THE HOOD THAT THIS ISSUE IS TAXING (ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, WATER PUMP, AND I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT ELSE). WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT I'M FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH A RECALL THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE? I CAN'T EVEN PAY TO GET THIS FIXED, THERE IS NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE VEHICLE IS NOT RECALLED ENTIRELY AND TAKEN OFF THE ROAD, OR THAT IF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE THERE IS NO RECOURSE. NO FREE TOWING, NO RENTAL CARS READY, NO ABILITY TO TRADE IN OR BUY A NEW VEHICLE. NOTHING. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT, GET A LAWYER? CONTACT BBB? PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS LEGAL, I'M BEING FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT IS DANGEROUS.

Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 12, 2014
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 2 MONTHS FOR PARTS FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE INITIAL HARD START FOR MONTHS. IT ALWAYS HAS EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER TIME AND NOW MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS STARTED TO STALL FROM THIS FAULTY RELAY ALSO. I WAS HEADING HOME ON THE LOCAL HIGHWAY MOVING BETWEEN 65-70MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AS I SLOWED TO AROUND 45MPH TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS APPROACHING AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO MANAGE TO GET OFF SAFELY. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN AND GET BACK HOME. TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AT SPEED AND LOSE YOUR POWER STEERING AND ALL IS VERY DANGEROUS. CHRYSLER & THE DEALERS ALL SAY THEY HAVE NOT A CLUE WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. THESE JEEPS ARE JUNK !! THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THEM ITS NOT FUNNY. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE MISSED SEVERAL DAYS OF WORK DUE TO THE JEEP NOT STARTING/STALLING ETC. I DON'T HAVE ENDLESS MONEY TO RENT CARS AND SPEND ON COSTLY REPAIRS. FURTHERMORE, THE RECALL FIX OF MOUNTING AN EXTERIOR FUEL PUMP RELAY TO THE TIPM AND BYPASSING THE FAULTY ONE BURIED DEEP INSIDE IS THE CHEAPEST WAY OUT FOR CHRYSLER. WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING IS INSTALLING ALL NEW TIPM`S FOR CUSTOMERS WITH WORKING RELAYS. I DIDN'T PAY $40K FOR A JEEP TO HAVE IT COBBED UP WITH CHEAP RECALL FIXES. *TR

Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 28, 2014
ON JULY 19, 2014 MY VEHICLE CEASED TO START PROPERLY. IT WOULD TURN OVER AND OVER AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WOULD FINALLY START. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF STALLING AT A STOP SIGN OR EXITING THE FREEWAY THEN DIFFICULTY RESTARTING. THIS BECAME MORE AND MORE FREQUENT, AND EACH TIME MY MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE CAUSE. SEPTEMBER 4TH IS THE LAST DAY THAT MY CAR STARTED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC WHO AFTER HAVING POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE, FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT CHRYSLER HAD ANNOUNCED A MASSIVE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. HE REFERRED ME TO THE CHRYSLER RECALL SPECIALIST PHONE NUMBER, WHICH I CALLED IMMEDIATELY. MY FIRST FOUR PHONE CALLS WERE NOTHING MORE THAN A RUN AROUND GAME UNTIL I FOUND THE INFORMATION ON NHTSA WEBSITE. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA RECALL INFORMATION, REPAIRS WERE SET TO BEGIN 10/25/14. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, THE NOTICES WERE SET TO GO OUT BY MAIL ON 10/31/14 THE GENTLEMAN ASSURED ME THAT I WOULD ALSO RECEIVE AN EMAIL RECALL NOTIFICATION TO PROVIDE THE REPAIRING DEALER ON 10/31/14. I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT RANCHO JEEP FOR RECALL P54 REPAIR AT 10AM NOVEMBER 1. 10/31/14, 3PM, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL NOTIFICATION. I CALL CHRYSLER AGAIN AND AM NOW TOLD THAT I HAD BEEN MISINFORMED, IT IS A PRELIMINARY NOTICE, NO REPAIRS CAN BE DONE. MY JEEP IS STILL NONOPERATIONAL, SINCE SEPTEMBER 5, 2014. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART WITH...I HAVE HAD A RENTAL CAR FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL ISSUE, COSTING NEARLY $800 EACH MONTH. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCOMMODATE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR REIMBURSE RENTAL EXPENSE WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY. MY VEHICLE WOULD BE OPERATIONAL IF NOT FOR THIS FACTORY RECALL P54, AND I WOULD NOT HAVE INCURRED $2400 RENTAL CAR EXPENSE TO DATE. *TR

THEY DID 2 RECALLS AND SAID YOU HAVE A TIPM ISSUE. OK COVERED UNDER WARRANTY? NOPE! $1190.00 TO FIX. I STATE TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR [XXX], THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. HE STATES IT DOSE NOT APPLY TO YOUR VEHICLE. I STATE I DON'T UNDERSTAND. BUT THERE IS A FIX CAN I HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED THE SAME WAY. HE STATES NO. SO I NEED TO BUY A WHOLE TIPM WHERE OTHERS JUST GET A BYPASS? THEY STATE YES. F*** THAT. I REMOVE MY VEHICLE FROM THERE. I CALL CHRYSLER FOR ANY KIND OF SUPPORT. NOTHING. NO ASSISTANCE. NO WORDS OF ADVICE. I TELL THEM, HOW DO I DRIVE MY CAR IF IT STALLS OR WONT START. SORRY CANT HELP YOU. AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE MY CAR? THEY CANT TELL ME IF I CAN DRIVE MY CAR. THAT UP TO ME THEY STATE. SO THERE NOT SURE IF I SHOULD DRIVE OR NOT. OVER THE WEEKEND I CONTEMPLATED ABOUT WHERE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO GET FIXED. I GUESS ILL PAY $1190 MONDAY GOES BY.

MY CAR WOULD NOT START, IT ONLY CRANKS UP, BUT IT IS NOT DRIVABLE AND I WILL NOT PUT MY LIFE AT RISK FOR OPERATING A DEFECTED VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN IT COULD STALL AND RESULT IN A CAR CRASH. MY SAFETY IS NOT GUARANTEED AT THIS TIME. LAST FRIDAY MORNING, MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICE AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER HAS NOT PROVIDED REPAIR PARTS (THE INTERNAL PUMP RELAY) TO THE DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA AND THERE IS NO EXPECTED TIME OF WHEN THESE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER OR PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR, WHILE MY CAR IS BEING REPAIRED. CHRYSLER IS NOT BEING HELPFUL IS REMEDYING THE SITUATION AT HAND. *TR

CAR DIDN'T START AS IT SHOULD HAVE AFTER PRESSING THE START BUTTON. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED UP. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TESTED IT. IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR FUEL PUMP SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND IT IS RELATED TO THE RECALL P54. THEY ARE NOT ABLE REPAIR THE CAR DUE TO NATIONWIDE BACKORDER OF THE PART INVOLVED. THEY ARE NOT SURE IF AND WHEN THE PART WILL BECOME AVAILABLE OR WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR ITEMS WILL BE COME AVAILABLE. THEY COULD NOT COMMENT ON THE CAR SAFETY WHILE DRIVING WITH THIS CONDITION. TALKED TO THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER. THE COMMENT "EVERY CAR IS ACTING DIFFERENTLY AND THEY CAN'T ADVISE IF IT SAFE TO USE THE CAR". NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS AVAILABLE NEITHER WAS ANY FURTHER HELP OFFERED. I'M USING THE CAR FOR TRAVELING AROUND A 3 HOUR RADIUS OF WYOMISSING ON A WEEKLY BASIS.

Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 12, 2014
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FREEWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. THERE IS NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE RPMS HITTING 0. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE CHANGING LANES, LUCKILY TOWARD THE BERM. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ROLL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE CROWDED FREEWAY, TO A STOP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME MAKING SURE I KEPT AN EYE ON MY RPMS TO DETERMINE IF THE CAR HAD STALLED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME, BUT I WAS READY THAT TIME AND IN A POSITION TO GET OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, AND I DID HAVE IT FIXED AT MY OWN COST BEFORE THE RECALL CAME OUT. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS FIXED WITH ANOTHER FAULTY PART SINCE THE FIXED ONE HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED YET. I BOUGHT JEEP FOR ITS RELIABILITY, SAFETY, AND DEPENDABILITY, BUT I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AT THIS TIME. I ALSO TOW A TRAILER, THAT LUCKILY HAS NOT BEEN CONNECTED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, OR THIS WOULD BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COMPLAINT WITH A MUCH WORSE ENDING. SINCE THERE IS NO ETA ON THE RECALL PART, I AM NOT SURE WHAT I CAN DO. I AM ALMOST TO THE POINT OF BUYING ANOTHER CAR RATHER THAN PICKING UP A RENTAL FOR AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME. I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT THIS IS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS ISSUE THAN WE ARE BEING LED TO BELIEVE. *TR
