Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 4, 2020
RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 12 MONTHS AGO - V62/NHTSA 19V-813, FUEL PUMP RELAY. A ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP 2 TIMES IN LAST WEEK WITH ISSUES WITH THE ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP. FAILURE TO START FROM A COLD AND A WARM START HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. FIRST REPAIR COST $553.66 AND TODAY'S REPAIR OF THE FUEL PUMP WHILE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (SINCE THE FIRST RECALL PART FAILED) DOESN'T HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. SHOULD NOT TAKE 12 MONTHS TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE OF THIS MAGNATUDE. IT IS VERY STRESSFUL DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS HAVING ISSUES AND COULD FAIL AND CAUSE A CRASH. HOW SOON WILL THIS RECALL BE RECTIFIED?11

VEHICLE WILL NOT START EVERYTIME AND ONCE IT'S JUMPERED TO ANOTHER CAR IT STARTS NO PROBLEM. SOMETIMES IT WILL START THEN IMMEDIATELY JUST DIE. VEHICLE HAS NEVER STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I BOUGHT IT DEC 2019 W/ 102K, IT NOW HAS 120K I DRIVE 400 MI/WK FOR WORK. I HAD TO BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE MILES AND THE WARRANTY CO.

MY COMPLAINT IS REGARDING NHTSA RECALL V62/NHTSA 19V-813 FOR MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR OVER A YEAR AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX. MY VEHICLE HAS CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND NOW DOES NOT START AT ALL. I HAVE A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE, FIX, OR SELL DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. MY ONLY DESIRE IS A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR AT LEAST A REFUND OF THE CURRENT VALUE. WE CONTACTED THE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINE AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THE COST WOULD BE TOO GREAT TO THE COMPANY. THESE VEHICLES ARE DANGEROUS AND THE FACT THAT THERE'S STILL NO FIX SHOULD BE VERY TROUBLING. NO ONE SHOULD BE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS KNOWN TO CUT OFF AT ANYTIME. PLEASE MODIFY THIS RECALL TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT OR REFUND FROM JEEP. IT'S GENUINELY THE ONLY SAFE THING TO DO. THANK YOU.

Vehicle speed control, Wheels, Oct 8, 2020, crash
I HAD CRUISE AT 80MPH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND DISENGAGED ON EXIT RAMP BY USING THE BRAKE. THE CAR SLOWED BUT I USED BRAKE AGAINN TO YIELD ONTO 4 LANE ROAD AND AGAIN TO CROSS OVER 2 LANES INTO A GAS STATION. I PULLED UP TO PUMP SLOWLY. WHEN I PUT THE BRAKE ON AGAIN TO COMPLETTE THE STOP,THE CRUISE REENGAGED AND THE CAR TOOK OFF. LUCKILY THERE WAS OPEN PARKING SPOT,I AIMED THERE AND CAR JUST KEPT GOING. OVER A CURB, THROUGH ABOUT 75 YARDS OF GRASS AND INTO A FIELD,ABOUT 25 FEET IN. NO BRAKING EVEN THO I TRIED. IN THE BRUSH WAS A CONCRETE BLOCK I HIT THAT CAUSED BOTH PASSENGER TIRES TO BLOW AND THEN THE CAR SLOWED AND WENT TO THE LEFT SOME 5 FEET AND STOPPED. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I ONLY PLOWED DOWN SMALL BRUSH AND MISSED A TREE IN MY PATH WHEN CAR VEERED LEFT AFTER TIRES BLEW. IT WAS A DRY SUNNY MORNING WITH NO ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING FOR AN HOUR AND HAD STOPPED TO GET GAS AND USE RESTROOM. THEPA STATE TROOPERS CAME BUT SINCE NO DAMAGE TO OTHER PROPERTY AND NO INJURIES, THEY DID NOT FILE A REPORT. USAA INSURANCE NOTIFIED AT ONCE AND TOOK THE CAR. THEY CLAIM IT AS A TOTAL LOSS. I AM BLESSED TO BE OK BUT THIS CRUISE/BRAKE MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY ANYWHERE ELSE. I HOPE YOU WILL INVESTIGATE I WOULD NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO EXPERIENCE THIS

ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND WHILE IN MOTION, THE ENGINE STOPPED CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN ROADWAY WITH HARD PRESSURE ON BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, NO CONTACT WAS MADE WITH PERSON OR PROPERTY. I ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULD ONLY CRANK AND NOT START. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TROUBLE STARTING ON MANY OCCASIONS PRIOR BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. THE ONLY INDICATION THE VEHICLE HAD LOST POWER WAS WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE AND TURN THE WHEEL. PRIOR TO THIS THE DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED THE ISSUE ON AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS SPANNING YEARS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER BOTH OF THESE ALLEGED REPAIRS THE VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IN THE LAST VISIT WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 23, 2020 AND PHONE CALL WITH FCA US LLC'S CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 I WAS DIRECTLY INFORMED THAT NO SOLUTION EXISTS. THERE IS NO ADVANCED NOTICE TO THE DRIVER AS THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING, NO NOTICEABLE INDICATION OF THIS DANGER CAN BE QUICKLY OBSERVED BY THE DRIVER. IT WAS ONLY NOTICED WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MANEUVER THE BRAKES OR STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A KNOWN AND HAZARDOUS CONDITION CREATED BY FCA US LLC. WHICH THEY HAVE NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN NEWINGTON,VA, MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I LOST ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A MONTH THAT THIS VEHICLE LOST POWER AND REACTED IN THIS MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND TWO DAYS LATER WAS REPAIRED. THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER A V62 SAFETY RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP RELAY. THE REPAIR WAS A TEMPORARY FIX UNTIL JEEP COMES OUT WITH A PERMANENT FIX. IN 2015 THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED UNDER R09 FOR THE SAME FUEL PUMP RELAY PROBLEM. DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. FIAT/CHRYSLER/JEEP CORP. HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP RELAY SINCE 2011 AND HAVE YET TO COME UP WITH A PERMANENT FIX. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THEY ARE ALL DEATH TRAPS. PLEASE PUT SOME PRESSURE ON JEEP CORP. TO FIX THIS DEADLY DEFECT IN THEIR VEHICLES. PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE!! THE WORST PART IS THAT CAR DEALERSHIPS CAN RESELL THESE USED VEHICLES KNOWING THERE IS AN OPEN SAFETY RECALL THAT HAS NOT BEEN PERMANENTLY FIXED. THE UNINFORMED CONSUMER IS BUYING A VEHICLE THAT WILL KILL THEM. FOR GOD'S SAKE DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
