IN JUNE 2012 I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE GIVING A HARD START AND STALLING. I REPORTED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND CARRIED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES. THEY INSTALLED A DEVICE TO TRACK WHAT IS CAUSING THE STALL ISSUE. THEY SAID THE DEVICE DID NOT READ ANYTHING BUT THE STALLING WAS NOT HAPPENING AS OFTEN AFTER THIS DEVICE WAS REMOVED. IN OCTOBER 2014, MY VEHICLE BEGAN GIVING THE HARD START AGAIN EVERY SINGLE TIME I START MY VEHICLE AND THE STALLING BECAME VERY FREQUENT. ON NOVEMBER 4,2014 MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND DID NOT WANT TO START RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO RENT A CAR. I AM REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION BECAUSE ALL IT IS GOIN TO DO IS AFFECT ANOTHER PART ON MY VEHICLE. I HAD THIS FOR 4 YEARS AND I'VE HAD SO MUCH PROBLEMS AND HAD TO CHANGE SO MANY PARTS... THIS JEEP IS THE LEMON OF THE BUNCH. *TR

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH A V-8 5.7L ENGINE FAILED BECAUSE OF A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM-7). FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME AND WOULD NOT START. THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALER SINCE 11/4 BECAUSE CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED THEM THAT THERE IS A BACKLOG OF WELL OVER 1,000 TIPM-7 UNITS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN OR IF THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE (THEIR WORDS, NOT MINE)! FRANKLY, I AM OUTRAGED AS A CONSUMER. I PAID $42,000 FOR A VEHICLE I CANNOT USE. *TR

I'D LIKE TO REGISTER A FORMAL COMPLAINT "FOR THE RECORD". REGARDING CHRYSLER GROUP'S RECALL #S P14, P36 AND P54 FOR THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4 ... PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE (SINCE MAY 2014 FOR THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER!) THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. INDIVIDUALLY, THE HARBINGER OF THESE THREE (3) RECALLS COULD RESULT IN; (A) POWER-ASSISTED BRAKING FAILURE, (B) A VEHICLE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL FIRE AND, (C) INTERMITTENT / UNEXPECTED ENGINE SHUTDOWN. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER TODAY @ 1-800-853-1403 AND SPOKE WITH "[XXX]" ... RECEIVED A PRETTY LAME "BS" EXPLANATION ABOUT PARTS AVAILABILITY ON ALL THREE (3) RECALLS AND THE METHOD IN WHICH THEY ARE ALLOCATED TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS. SHE COULD NOT COMMIT AS TO WHEN, IF EVER, MY DEALERSHIP WOULD RECEIVE THE REQUIRED PARTS TO REMEDY THE OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS A SMALLER, RURAL "MOM & POP" STORE, SO THE QUESTION THAT BEGS TO BE ASKED IS WILL I EVER SEE THESE PARTS INSTALLED BEFORE THERE'S A RECALL-RELATED INCIDENT WITH MY WIFE'S VEHICLE? THE RECALL "SYSTEM" IS APPARENTLY BROKEN, AS CHRYSLER GROUP IS NOT DILIGENTLY FULFILLING THEIR SAFETY OBLIGATIONS AND NOBODY FROM NHTSA IS APPARENTLY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT ENFORCING IT, QUITE DISCONCERTING AND UNACCEPTABLE! AS OF TODAY'S REGISTERED COMPLAINT(S), KINDLY CONSIDER NHTSA AND CHRYSLER GROUP AS OFFICIALLY PUT ON NOTICE OF MY COMPLAINT AND OF MY DIRE CONCERN FOR THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. NOTE THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AS THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY PARTS ON MY BEHALF FROM CHRYSLER GROUP. PLEASE FOLLOW-UP CHRYSLER GROUP WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY AND REPORT YOUR FINDINGS TO ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING. IT SOMETIMES TAKES 3-10 TIMES TO START. IT SOMETIMES DOESN'T START AT ALL, LEAVING ME STRANDED WITH AN INFANT IN TOW. I HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND WAS INFORMED OF A TEMPORARY REPAIR TO THE PROBLEM BUT THEN LEARNED OF AN UPCOMING RECALL FOR THE TIPM. I DECIDED TO WAIT ON REPAIRING THE ISSUE, UNSURE AS TO WHETHER THE FIX PRESCRIBED BY THE DEALER WOULD BE REIMBURSED ONCE THE RECALL WAS RELEASED. I JUST GOT AN 'INITIAL' RECALL NOTICE WHICH STATED THAT THERE STILL WAS NO REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM - EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SAID TO BE THE CAUSE OF POTENTIAL CRASHES AND STALLS MID-DRIVE. AS I HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR WITH ME EVERY TIME I DRIVE, I AM EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS AND NERVOUS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE RISK I AM TAKING BY CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT A REPAIR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY IT WOULD PROVIDE MY FAMILY IN TRANSPORTATION. NOW I AM ACUTELY AWARE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED AND THE NEED FOR A FIX IMMEDIATELY. *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 READING THE KEYS AND I NEEDED TO ORDER NEW ONES, WHICH I DID. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS GIVING ME THE SAME PROBLEMS OF NOT STARTING. HE SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING IF I COULD NOT RECREATE IT, SO I KEPT DRIVING IT KNOWING THAT IT MAY OR MAY NOT START. YESTERDAY, 10/28 THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING AS THE PROBLEM WAS STILL OCCURRING. TODAY THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS INDEED THE TIPM THAT WAS FAULTY AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND RECALL WITH THE TIPM FAILING. MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUES. STARTING ISSUES AND ENGINE WILL AT TIMES JUST DIE WHILE DRIVING. MY WIFE HAD THE CAR STOP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ACTIVE INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED THIS AS THE PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALL CHRYSLER THEY SAY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. COST WILL BE OVER $1,000 TO FIX. MY CAR IS NOW DANGEROUS AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL START OR NOT. *TR

I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID MY VINE NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL THIS IS CRAZY IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE BUT MY JEEP IS NOT COVERED I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY, COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. *TR

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
