UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASE MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 5.7 LITER ENGINE IN JANUARY 2017. FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS IT WAS FINE BUT THEN IT STARTED STALLING. IT STALLED AT LEAST 15 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. IT USUALLY STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC OR A RED LIGHT BUT CAN ALSO STALL AFTER HAVING BEEN STOP FOR RED LIGHT, OR UPON ACCELERATION FROM A RED LIGHT~ ON RARE OCCASION IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 40 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR. THERE IS NO INDICATION THE CAR HAS STALLED UNTIL YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE, STEER, OR BRAKE, AS THE AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO REMAIN UNAFFECTED. I'VE TAKEN THE JEEP TO MY DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS A FUEL PUMP SO THEY PUT A NEW FUEL PUMP IN. A FEW WEEKS AFTER INSTALLING A FUEL PUMP IT STALLED AGAIN SO I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY REINFORCE THE CONNECTION. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT STALLED AGAIN SO THEY HAD ME BRING THE CAR IN AND THEY ATTACHED A BLACK BOX TO IT THAT FUNCTIONS MUCH LIKE AN AIRPLANE'S BLACK BOX WHICH RECORDES DATA. I DROVE IT AROUND WITHOUT INCIDENT FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS AND WE THOUGHT WE HAD THE PROBLEM SOLVED. OF COURSE 2 WEEKS LATER IT STALLED AGAIN SO I BROUGHT IT BACK. THEY REINSTALL THE BLACK BOX AND HAD THEIR WORK IS USED THE JEEP AS THEIR DAILY COMMUTE TRYING TO TRIP A CODE. IT TOOK A WHILE BUT ABOUT A MONTH LATER THEY FINALLY GOT A CODE FOR A WIRING ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, SINCE IT WASN'T COVERED IN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND AT GREAT EXPENSE TO THEM, THEY REPLACED THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS AND THEN STALLED AGAIN. THEY SAID THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING THEY KNOW TO DO AND OFFERED TO GIVE ME A HIGH TRADE-IN VALUE FOR THE JEEP TO GET ME OUT OF THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ENGINE WILL OCCASIONALLY CRANK AND CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. IT WILL EVEN CONTINUE TO CRANK EVEN AFTER LETTING GO OF THE START BUTTON. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START CAR ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IT WILL START THE NEXT DAY , HOWEVER THIS MEANS WE CAN NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. CAN'T AFFORD TO DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND HAVE TO GET A RIDE BACK HOME, WHICH I HAVE ALREADY DONE SEVERAL TIMES. THE JEEP DEALER FIXED THIS PROBLEM ON JAN 11, 2020, AND ON INVOICE THEY STATED ' THE AUTHORIZED REPAIR OF FUEL PUMP RELAY WIRING KIT IS COMPLETED AND NOW STARTING AS IT SHOULD'. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE RECALL PART AS MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET SUPPLIED IT, SO THE DEALER RECOMMENDED A 'FIX AROUND' WHICH I AGREED TO IN THE ABSENCE OF THE RECALL PART. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS SO I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROBLEM ISN'T SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE RECALL ITEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE, A SAFETY RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY POSSIBLY FAILING CAUSING A STALL, WAS ISSUED ON NOV. 14, 2019, (RECALL #19V813). IT HAS BEEN OVER 4 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED AND AS OF TODAY 03/20/2020, THE STATUS REMAINS "INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE". I THINK CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) HAS HAD AMPLE TIME TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND HAS FAILED TO DO SO.THE POSSIBILITY THAT MY CAR MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING IS A VERY UNSETTLING FEELING AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS MATTER HAS BEEN PLACED IN A LOW PRIORITY STATUS BY THE MANUFACTURER.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
THIS IS MY THIRD TIME EXPERIENCING THIS SYSTEM FAILURE. EACH TIME WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE IN MOTION, THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF. EACH TIME THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I WAS TURNING ONTO A STREET. THE FIRST TIME IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WAS AS I EASY SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND LOST ALL CONTROLS AS THE VEHICLE DIED. I DID NOT ACCIDENTALLY TOUCH ANYTHING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BOUT IT ASAP. IT TURNS OFF UNWARRANTED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PRESS THE START BUTTON TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT PART IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE OCCASIONALLY AND NOT EVERYDAY EITHER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, RECALL EXISTS AND THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, FUEL PUMP RELAY CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN ALSO NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT. FCA/MOPAR ONLY AUTHORIZED REIMBURSEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND NOT FOR THE BATTERY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DIRECTLY RELATED AND THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN STATED THE SAME. SPOKE WITH MULTIPLE REPS FROM FCA WHO COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. AN OIL CHANGE AND SYSTEMS DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE JUST BEFORE THE FUEL PUMP FAILURE AND NO ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY WERE IDENTIFIED. I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY COULD NOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE...WHICH SEEMS INCREDULOUS TO ME AS THAT IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY LEAVE FOR WORK. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE FUEL PUMP RELAY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED UNLESS I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER?

MY ALTERNATOR BURNT UP AND RUINED MY COMPUTER IN MY JEEP AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND MANY OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WENT OUT. MY POWER STEERING ALSO WENT OUT. THE ALTERNATOR WAS SO HOT, IT CRUMBLED AND MELTED THE CASING. CHRYSLER WILL NOT ADMIT TO THE ALTERNATOR BEING FAULTY OR NEEDING TO BE REPLACED IN THE RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE, STATING IT WAS NOT ONE OF THE ALTERNATORS AFFECTED.

THE RECALL IS 8 YEARS OLD AND NO REMEDY AS OF YET WITH UNCERTAINTY OF WHEN OR HOW THIS MAY CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO BE HAZARDOUS TO MY LIFE OR OTHER MOTORISTS IS OF GRAVE CONCERN . I CONSIDER THIS RECALL TO BE OF SERIOUS CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS!I FIND IT UNSATISFACTORY AND NEGLIGENT AND UNACCEPTABLE NOT TO HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE RECALL AS OF YET . I DEMAND REMEDY OR COMPENSATION AS MY LEGAL RIGHT .
