Service brakes, Sep 14, 2015
ON 9/5/15, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. INITIALLY I FELT THE BRAKES GRAB BUT THEN THE BRAKES GAVE OUT CAUSING ME TO SWERVE TO AVOID A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN USING THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC TO FINALLY GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION BY APPLYING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. OBVIOUSLY, QUITE A HARROWING SITUATION FOR MYSELF IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER VEHICLES IN MY PATH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANT, NO INJURIES. WESTBURY JEEP IN NY (WHERE I SERVICE MY VEHICLE) TOLD ME THAT THE CAUSE WAS A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. THAT TRIGGERED QUESTIONS IN MY MIND AS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 I HAD RECALL P14 SERVICED. IT SEEMS THAT A SHIELD HAD BEEN INSTALLED BUT THAT THE BOOSTER ITSELF HAD NOT BEEN CHANGED. WHY WASNT THE BOOSTER CHANGED AT THAT TIME? I NOW HAVE MY DOUBTS THAT THIS WAS PROPERLY AND ADEQUATELY TAKEN CARE OF, PUTTING MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS IN DANGER. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM FURTHER, IVE COME ACROSS SEVERAL OTHER CASES MIRRORING MINEQUITE ALARMING.

Service brakes, Sep 10, 2015
THE DEALER COMPLETED THE BRAKE BOOSTER INSPECTION AND I NSERTED A SHIELD FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTERS RECALL IN DECEMBER OF 14. AFTER THAT DATE, THE BRAKES WERE NOT STOPPING THE VEHICLE DURING HARD STOPS BECAUSE PROPER BRAKE PRESSURE WAS NOT PRESENT. SEPTEMBER 8 2015 THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER BECAUSE IT WAS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. THE BRAKE BOOSTER SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THE INITIAL VISIT AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND WITH BRAKES THAT WERE NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. NORMAL DRIVING I COULD NOT NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE BUT EMERGENCY STOPS AND STOPPING WHILE TOWING WAS DANGEROUS.
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Sep 10, 2015, fire
I PURHCASED MY USED 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ROUGHLY ONE YEAR AGO FROM MILLER JEEP IN SPRINGFIELD, PA. IN JULY OF THIS YEAR, I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME, AND STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE. I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND IMMEDIATELY SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE HEADLINER. I PULLED OVER AND WITHIN ABOUT 3 MINUTES, MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY ON FIRE. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL DONE ON THE CAR TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. PLEASE SEE THE LINK BELOW, WHICH SUMMARIZED WHAT HAPPENED TO ME: HTTP://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/2015/05/07/JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-DODGE-DURANGO-NHTSA-INVESTIGATION-RECALL/
Steering, Electrical system, Engine, Sep 10, 2015, crash
1-AFTER QUICKLY STOPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO COLLECT MAIL, I TRIED TO GO BACK INTO THE ROAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING BUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE. I ENDED UP CROSSING INTO THE OTHER SIDE, GOING INTO THE DITCH AND HITTING A SNOW BANK. DUE TO THE VERY SLOW SPEED (I WAS SPEEDING FROM THE PARKED POSITION) AND TO THE LUCK THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS COMING ON THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, NO HARM WAS DONE. DEALERSHIP NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. 2- I HAVE HAD TWO SAFETY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED ON A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. FOR ONE OF THEM, MY CAR IS AT RISK OF FIRE UNDER THE HOOD, AND FOR THE OTHER ONE, THERE COULD BE ENGINE STALL AND CRASH. JEEP HAS INFORMED OF BOTH, BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE MY DEALERSHIP WITH THE APPROPRIATE PARTS FOR FIXING THE PROBLEMS. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, RISKING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES AND ALL THEY CAN DO IS TELL ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE AND GOOD LUCK? BECAUSE IT'S MONETARILY CHEAPER TO PAY FOR LOST LIVES THAN TO AVOID THE LOSS? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT A CHEAP ONE, HOWEVER WE HAVE BEEN TREATED LIKE THEY ARE DOING US A FAVOR JUST FOR LETTING US A KNOW WE ARE AT RISK OF DYING FROM CAR CRASH DUE TO IT'S MALFUNCTIONS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ABOVE VEHICLE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO SEAVIEW JEEP IN OCEAN NJ I WAS ADVISED THAT THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT IS SEPTEMBER 15. MY CONCERN IS THAT YOUR RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT "AN INTERMITTENT OR FAILED FUEL PUMP RELAY COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER (800-992-1997) I WAS ADVISED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE THAT THE CAR WAS "MORE LIKELY NOT TO START" AND "YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE SERVICE SCHEDULE OF THE DEALERSHIP". MY QUESTION/CONCERN/COMPLAINT IS THAT HOW CAN YOU SEND OUT A RECALL THAT CLEARLY STATES THE ENGINE COULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING YET MAKE SOMEONE WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THE APPOINTMENT. MY EXPECTATION WOULD BE THAT FOR A SAFETY CONCERN SUCH AS THIS I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THE RECALL TO BE ADDRESSED WHEN YOU CLEARLY STATE A CRASH COULD OCCUR PLEASE ADVISE HOW THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS ENGINE IN THIS VEHICLE MISSES FROM TIME TO TIME. I'VE TOLD MY DEALER EACH OF THE LAST 3 TIMES I BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE OR FOR RECALLS. THEY HAVE RESET THE COMPUTER AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND SAY THAT IF RUNS FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE ON A LONGER TRIP AND IT STARTED MISSING DURING A LATE NIGHT DRIVE TO VIRGINIA. THE MISSING WAS SO BAD I WAS LOOSING POWER. I AM AWARE OF THE FUEL PUMP RECALL THAT WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL, BUT ACCORDING TO MY DEALER THE PARTS ARE JUST BECOMING AVAILABLE NOW. I AM ON A WAIT LIST WITH NO DEFINITE DATE TO WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH I BELIEVE I HAVE SYMPTOMS OF A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND EVEN MORE AFRAID TO HAVE MY CHILDREN OR MY WIFE DRIVE IT. I AM AMAZED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD I BELIEVE 5 RECALLS AND STILL FIAT CHRYSLER GETS SO MUCH TIME TO REACT AND REPAIR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE HOPED OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE HELD THE NEW ITALIAN/FIAT OWNERS OF CHRYSLER TO A HIRING STANDARD. FIATS REPUTATION FOR LOW QUALITY CARS WAS SO BAD THAT THEY HAD TO PULL OUR OF THE US AND NOW THEY ARE BACK. WHY ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING CARS WITH DEFECTS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND THEN ALLOWED TO HAVE MONTHS AND MONTHS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THEM?
