ALTANATER CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN DAMAGES

MY JEEP DIED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY ON 11/30/19 DURING THE EVENING. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE AND THE SHOULDER AT A DANGEROUS CURVE AND CARS WERE FLYING BY BEEPING AT ME. I AM VERY FORTUNATE MY JEEP WAS NOT HIT AND I WASN'T HURT. I HAD IT TOWED TO ROUTE 46 JEEP IN LITTLE FALLS NJ WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS PART OF THE CURRENT FUEL PUMP RECALL. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RECALL AS IT IS A NEW RECALL. A CUSTOMER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR A RECALL. I NEED YOUR HELP. I NEED MY TRUCK TO GET TO WORK AND BREAST CANCER TREATMENT. THE DEALER HAS HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS TRYING TO 'FIGURE OUT' HOW TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. CAN YOU PLEASE INTERVENE. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

MY JEEP HAS BEEN GOING INTO FIRST GEAR ON ITS ON WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS BUT IS NOW HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY. IT HAS USUALLY HAPPENED AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND AFTER GETTING BACK INTO MOTION AND UP TO SPEED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT HAVING RECENTLY STOPPED. I AM USUALLY IN TRAFFIC AND UNABLE TO PULL OVER SO I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE WHILE IN MOTION.

CHRYSLER MADE A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON NOV 14, 2019. ON NOV 18, 2019 MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND DID SO NUMEROUS TIME DURING THE WEEK. LUCKILY, I WAS NEVER ON THE HIGHWAY WENT IT HAPPENED. I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER THEY DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT AND I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL JAN 2020. I COULD NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE IN THAT CONDITION, SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO INFORM THEM OF THIS AND THEY SAID TO JUST SUBMIT THE PROOF OF THE SERVICE. HOWEVER, WHEN I DID SUBMIT THE PROOF THEY DECLINED IT STATING CHRYSLER HAD NOT UPDATED THE RECALL AND THERE WERE NO PARTS. I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THE RECALL.

I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STALLING WHILE CRANKING OR IT WOULD GET HUNG UP AND CUT RIGHT BACK OFF MORE THAN 3X NUMEROUS TIMES SO MANY I CAN'T COUNT! I CALLED MOPAR SERVICE NUMBER BECAUSE THE FIRST FUEL PUMP RELAY CALL AND THEY DID ABSOLUTELY TOLD ME TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP AND RUN DIAGNOSTICS WHICH IS AROUND $200 RIGHT OFF THE BAT! THIS WAS MAY OF 2019 HERE IT IS NOV AND THERE IS NOT A REMEDY YET OR PARTS AVAILABLE! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY AND BE REIMBURSED ESPECIALLY WHEN I CALLED WAY BEFORE NOW ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE!

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: OPENS NEW WINDOW TAKES AWAY FROM VIN LOOKUP SECTION>19V-813RECALL DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 2019. I HAD NUMEROUS INSTANCES THIS PAST YEAR WHERE THE VEHICLE STALLED UNEXPECTANTLY AND THEN WOULD NOT START. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL RELAY BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE FUEL RELAY HAD BEEN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE. CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK? IS THIS NEW RECALL A PERMANENT FIX OR WILL I HAVE TO REPLACE THE PART AGAIN WITHIN A YEAR OR TWO?

FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILING AFTER RECALL WAS REPORTED AS COMPLETED.

SOUND COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING. DEALER DIAGNOSTIC IDENTIFIED A FAILING STEERING RACK AND PINIONS. NEED TO REPLACE.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE SHARP TURNS THE VEHICLE WILL SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND BREAKING TO NOT WORK. THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES THAT COME UP AND THE RADIO AND AIR/HEAT CONTINUE TO WORK. THE ONLY REASON YOU KNOW THE CAR SHUT OFF IS BECAUSE THE BREAKS AND POWER STEERING WON'T WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT YOU CAN NEVER RECREATE THE PROBLEM ON CUE. IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY RAMP AROUND A TURN AND ON A NORMAL BACK ROAD STREET GOING AROUND A TURN. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 11-13-2019

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND LOST POWER SECONDS LATER. THE CONTACT HAD TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RETURN TO NORMAL. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MITCHELL CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (416 HOPMEADOW ST, SIMSBURY, CT 06070, (860) 408-6005) WHERE IT WAS TEST DRIVEN AND THE SPARK PLUGS FOR THE CYLINDER WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE LIFTER AND CAMSHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 167,000.

THE 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND I PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO HAS STARTED TO COMPLETELY STALL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO NOT FUNCTION AS WELL AS THE BRAKES. THIS ENGINE POWER TURNS OFF RANDOMLY AT AROUND 10-15 MPH (WHEN MAKING TURNS, STOPPING AND/OR ACCELERATING) BUT THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT APPEAR ON THE DASH. ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE CAR STILL FUNCTIONS AND THE ENGINE STALL IS NOT NOTICEABLE UNTIL APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES OR TRYING TO STEER THE WHEELS. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS (EASTER) 28 APRIL 2019. THE CAR SHUT OFF AROUND 10 MILES PER HOUR AS I MADE A LEFT TURN CROSSING THE INCOMING LANE INTO A PARKING LOT. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CAR COMING OR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE RESULTED. THE FREQUENCY OF THESE TYPES OF STALLS HAVE BECOME GREATER. THEY ARE HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS NOVEMBER 7TH 2019. THIS VEHICLE WAS RELEASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON NOVEMBER 1ST, 2019. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIND THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS MAINTENANCE. NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE VEHICLE IS PERFECTLY FINE. AS SIMPLE TEST DRIVE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM.THIS IS THE SAME CONCERN AS FCA RECALL T59 AND NHTSA RECALL # 17V-572.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEIR WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER TRAVELING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. I PRECEDED TO PASS IT ON A TWO LANE ROAD. AS I PASSED THE TRACTOR TRAILER MY NOW FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE, SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. MY VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 100000 MILES ON IT AND HAD RAN GREAT UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERSHIP. THEY LET ME KNOW THAT MY LIFTERS AND CAM WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN WHICH WAS A $4000 JOB!

WHEN I PRESS THE PUSH START AND THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE WILL STALL AND NOT TURN OVER. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE 4 YEARS I'VE HAD IT. THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT CRANK. I USED JUMPER CABLES TO TRY AND REVIVE THE BATTERY. DOING THIS REVERTED POWER BACK TO MY VEHICLE, YET IT WOULD STILL NOT TURN OVER. I THEN HAD TO PUT THE KEYFOB INTO THE IGNITION AND TRY IT MANUALLY. STILL NOTHING WORKED AND MY CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER AND START. IT MAKES ONE CLICK, AND THEN NOTHING.

VEHICLE WILL NOT START DESPITE HAVING GOOD BATTERY, GOOD STARTER, GOOD PLUGS, AND GOOD FUEL PUMP. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE RELATED TO FAULTY OIL PRESSURE RELAY AND FAULTY TIPM.

IT WAS RAINING I HAD TO START BREAKING WAS GETTING CLOSE TO A RED LIGHT, COULD NOT STOP AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR AND TOTALED MINE AND INJURED ME.

DRIVERS SEAT HEADREST POPPED FORWARD TO THE EXTEND POSITION WHILE SITTING IN CAR AT A STORE PARKING LOT . ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS TURNED OFF. THIS IS ONLY SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN WHEN THE AIRBAGS ARE SET OFF. THESE HEADREST COST FROM 400 TO 700 DOLLARS

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,922. *JS

THERE HAS BEEN A SPORADIC ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO START MY VEHICLE WHERE IT'LL MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER AND GET STARTED BUT IT'S GETTING STUCK AS IF IT'S MAYBE NOT CATCHING THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED SEAT BELT ISSUES WITH MY SEAT BELT LIGHT ON AND BEEPING AS IF IT'S NOT ON BUT IT WOULD ALREADY BE PROPERLY BUCKLED IN. I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM THAT WAS CAUSE SOME SORT OF LEAK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AND DOVER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (396 US-46, ROCKAWAY, NJ 07866, (973) 366-7000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY THROTTLE CONTROL AND WIRE HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,600. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *BF*JB

ON SEPT 21, 2019, JEEP'S TIPM FAILED CAUSING HATCH TO OPEN WITHOUT NOTICE, AND LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS TO BLINK WITHOUT ACTIVATION. WE HAD IT REPLACED AND PAID FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH TIPMS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO FUEL ISSUES. THIS REPLACEMENT TIPM FAILED AGAIN, CAUSING TURN SIGNAL TO FAIL AND NOT OPERATE. THIS "BAD" TIPM WAS REPLACED AGAIN ON OCT 10, 2019. PROBLEMS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. *DT*JB

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND TRANSITIONING THE VEHICLE TO PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. I HAD MY FOOT PRESSED FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE BUT IT DID NOT STOP AND IT WENT UP AND OVER A PARKING BARRIER INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE.

I HAVE TWO MAJOR ISSUES. THE FIRST BEING THAT THE LEATHER ON MY DASH HAS COMPLETELY SHRIVELED UP INTO WEIRD BUMPS AND LOOKS HORRIBLE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT WOULD OF CAUSED IT BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THE SECOND THING IS THAT MY BACK RIGHT SUSPENSION IS MESSED UP. THE BACK LEFT SIDE OF MY JEEP SAGS WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK AND AS IT LOWERS INTO PARK LEVEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION UNINTENTIONALLY SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE MOVED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

IN 2016, MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAD ABOUT 38K MILES WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT MY VEHICLES RACK AND PINION HAD A "MINOR LEAK" THAT THEY SERVICE CENTER RECOMMENDED I "KEEP AN EYE ON." THIS WAS SOMETHING I REALLY NEEDED TO SAVE FOR BECAUSE IT WOULD COST $3000 TO REPAIR AND I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE! LESS THAN A WEEK LATER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY. THIS FORCED ME TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION AS WELL AS FURTHER DAMAGE. THIS IS PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR A CAR WITH MILEAGE THAT LOW. ADDITIONALLY, IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS ISSUE HASN'T BEEN A SUFFICIENT IMPETUS FOR INVESTIGATION CONSIDERING HOW UBIQUITOUS THAT EXACT CLAIM IS AMONG JGCL OWNERS. THESE COMMON CLAIMS SUGGEST THAT THE ISSUE ISNT CAUSED BY THE DRIVER, BUT IS IN FACT, A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. APPROPRIATELY, THE MANUFACTURER IS OBLIGATED TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT.. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND CAUSED A FIRE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS AS THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE FAILURE DESCRIBED IN A RECALL. *JS *JS*DT*JB

WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY IT WILL NOT START WHEN THE BUTTON IS PUSHED. THE CAR SHUDDERS AND THE COMPUTER FREEZES. IT CAN ONLY START WHEN THE KEY IS USED IN PLACE OF THE PUSH BUTTON. IT SEEMS AS IF THE STARTER IS NOT RELAYING TO THE FUEL PUMP. THIS CAR UNDERWENT A BIG RECALL IN MARCH OF 2017. THE FUEL PUMP, FUSE BOX, BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE REPLACED. IT WAS AT THE DEALERS FOR THREE WEEKS. THE JEEP BROKE DOWN AND HAD SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. UNFORTUNATELY, WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE THREE DAYS AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, SO WE HAD TAKEN IT TO OUR MECHANIC. THEN WE HAD TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. (RECALL R09)

THE ALTERNATOR BURNED OUT, BURNING OUT ALSO THE STARTER, THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE COMPUTER. THIS SEEMS SIMILAR TO THE RECALL ORDERED FOR SMALLER JEEP ENGINES, BY OUR P60/NHTSA 14V-634 RECALL. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR REMAINED IN OPERATION. I DROVE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHICH FOUND THE ISSUES. WHEN I GOT TO THE SHOP, I COULD SMELL A BURNING ODOR. DATE OF 9/1/2019 APPROXIMATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. MYRTLE BEACH JEEP (785 JASON BLVD, MYRTLE BEACH, SC) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 64613871. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

MY CAR WAS SERVICES ON A FUEL PUMP SAFETY ISSUES;;;NOW IM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES...THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE...THIS CAN CAUSE MY LIFE AND OTHER ON THE ROAD...IF MY CAR KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING...I CONTACTED THE DEALER...I WAS TOLD I DIDNT HAVE ANY WARRANTY AFTER WAS REPLACED IT ACCORDDING TOO THEM. ..? THANKFUL NO ACCIDENTS BUT MY CAR SHUTT IT OFF.WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS NOW???

THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF THREE TIMES AND ON THE THIRD TIME I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL. VERY DANGEROUS LUCKY I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY. *DT CONSUMER STATED ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, HAD IT CHECKED AND IT WAS A O2 CENSOR #2.*JB

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHIN MINUTES OF STARTING WHILE STATIONARY

WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH RANDOMLY COME ON AND OFF. BACK HATCH RANDOMLY OPENS WITHOUT ACTIVATION. HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND MOVING.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT NORMAL SPEED, THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN THE PASSING LANE. WITH NO POWER I ALMOST HAD A CAR REAR END ME BEFORE I COULD PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND PULL OVER. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT ACTED NORMAL FOR A WHILE. BEFORE ARRIVING HOME THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HAD STARTED LEAKING AND THE VEHICLE WAS LOW IN TRANSMISSION FLUID. HOWEVER, WITH THIS VEHICLE THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL AND THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF FLUID LEAKAGE FOUND WHERE CAR IS NORMALLY PARKED. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, A CHIME WAS HEARD, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOWS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE SUN ROOF ALSO STARTED TO OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BECAME INOPERABLE, THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY FAILED. THE FAILURE CAUSED A MINOR FIRE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,200.*DT *TR *DT*DT*JB

AT VARIOUS TIMES, WHEN CAR IS CRANKED AND PUT INTO DRIVE, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND GEARS DO NOT CHANGE AUTOMATICALLY. VERY LITTLE POWER WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE FROM BEING STOPPED. HOWEVER WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND CRANKED BACK UP IT SOMETIMES RESETS THE ISSUE ELECTRONICALLY.

TICKING SOUND FROM PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST HEADER WHEN COLD . POSSIBLE GASKET OR HEADER CRACK

HAVING ISSUES WITH GEAR SHIFTING AND THE MAJOR COMPLAINT IS THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAVE HAD VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NO ANSWERS. THIS HAPPENS AS VEHICLE IS MOVING AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER WITH NO POWER NO STEERING NOTHING. SCARY DEAL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY BACK IN 2015. MINE WAS REPLACED IN APRIL OF 2016 THEN AGAIN IN 2017, 2018, AND NOW ONCE AGAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE PAID FOR A NEW ONE AND LABOR AND ITS STILL FAULTY AND HAPPENS ABOUT A YEAR LATER EVERY TIME.

TRANSMISSION COOLER/CONDENSER LEAK CAUSES LOSS OF TRANMISSION FLUID BUT YOU CAN'T CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL BECAUSE THERE IS A TAMPER PROOF CAP ON THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL DIP STICK. TRANSMISSION GOT HOT, TRUCK SLIPPED GEARS AND LOSS OF FORWARD MOMENTUM CONTROL. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM BUT IS NOT.
