WHEN THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLE IS EXITING THE FREEWAY OR WHEN COASTING WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE STALLS. ENGINE POWER IS LOST, POWER STEERING IS LOST, AND POWER BRAKING IS LOST LEADING TO A SIGNIFICANT INABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO RESTART UNTIL IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE ROADWAY AND IS PUT INTO PARK. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS BEFORE CHRYSLER EVEN ISSUED A RECALL. CHRYSLER HAS NOW NOTIFIED ME BY MAIL OF A RECALL FOR THE FUEL RELAY WHICH COULD CAUSE A STALL AND CRASH AND HAS RECOMMENDED I TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. THE JEEP DEALER HAS NO EVIDENCE SHOWING THEM THAT THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AS A RESULT OF THE FUEL RELAY EVEN WITH THE RECALL IN EFFECT. THE DEALER HAS ADVISED ME TO PICK UP THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALLED PART. THIS MEANS THEY HAVE ADVISED ME TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW. THIS IS AS OF NOVEMBER 18TH, 2014. CHRYSLER'S RECALL DEPARTMENT HAS ADVISED BY PHONE I DRIVE THE CAR TO ANOTHER JEEP DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF ANOTHER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THIS RECOMMENDATION PUTS MYSELF AND THE PUBLIC AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THERE HAS BEEN NO TEMPORARY REPAIR SUGGESTED OR A DATE WHEN A PERMANENT FUEL RELAY REPLACEMENT PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. NO ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED OR OFFERED. I AM WITHOUT A MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WHILE MY VEHICLES IS NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO SAFETY REASONS. *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
