OCT 7, 2014: NHTSA 14V-391 OR FCA P36 SAFETY RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE AT A LOCAL CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP. APR 30, 2015: VEHICLE TAKEN TO SAME DEALERSHIP TO CHECK A BUZZING SOUND IN THE RH SUN VISOR AREA, SERVICE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. MAY 19, 2015: SUDDEN ACRID SMOKE ODOR DETECTED WHILE DRIVING, PULLED TO CURB AND TURNED OFF MOTOR. SOME SMOKE INHALATION BUT NO BURN INJURIES TO DRIVER. NOTICED BLACK AND WHITE MELTED AREAS ON RH SUN VISOR, RH VANITY MIRROR AND RH HEADLINER. EXTERNAL ROOF AREA ABOVE THE RH SUN VISOR HAD APPROXIMATE 3" CRACK AND THE PAINT WAS SPLIT OPEN FROM THE EXTREME HEAT, DIGITAL PHOTOS TAKEN. ON JUN 30, 2015, WE LEARNED THE "THE SOURCE OF THE FIRE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE P36 REPAIR, BUT WAS FOR ANOTHER CAUSE". ON JUL 10, 2015, WE LEARNED THE P36 REPAIR PLASTIC SHROUD WAS INTACT AND THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS FOUND IN THE WIRING HARNESS ABOVE THE SUN VISOR IN THE HEADLINER AREA. CHRYSLER JEEP DENIED OUR WARRANTY REPAIR REQUEST ON JUL 24, 2015, BECAUSE THE SOURCE OF THE FIRE COULD NOT BE TRACED BACK TO A FACTORY DEFECT IN MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP. ON JUL 27, 2015, OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER DECIDED TO REPAIR OUR VEHICLE, AT THEIR COST, BECAUSE WE WERE VALUED CUSTOMERS, BUT THE DECISION CAME THE SAME DAY A LETTER WAS READ BY THE DEALERSHIP GENERAL MANAGER THAT SAID WE MAY PURSUE A REMEDY USING THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW. WE FOUND THERE WERE MORE THAN 91 OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS IN 2011-2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGO VEH

ON JAN 7, 2015, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TOWARDS THE GARAGE, MY VEHICLE (GRAND CHEROKEE 2013) SUDDENLY (UNEXPECTEDLY) ACCELERATED AND, ALTHOUGH I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT CRASHED AGAINST THE WALL. THE VEHICLE ACTIVATED AIRBAGS BURNING AND BRUISING MY BODY; I WENT TO THE ER AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. SOME OF THE PARTS REPLACED FOR THIS CRASH INCLUDED, BUMPER AND HOOD ASSEMBLIES, A/C DUCTS AND EVAPORATOR, GRILLE, RADIATOR, HEADLIGHT, COMPUTER, WIPER WASH CANISTER, WATER PUMP, FAN, SEAT BELT AND ONE FENDER, ETC. IN ADDITION THE CRASH TOLL CAUSED STRUCTURAL DAMAGES TO THE PROPERTY. THE SERVICE SHOP COMPLETED THE REPAIRS ON FEB 27, 2015. ON MARCH 2 AND MAY 20, 2015 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FAILURES. THEY FINALLY CHANGED THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION BY MAY 29, 2015. ON JULY 2 I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE THERE WAS A NOISY RIDING AND CHECK ENGINE WAS ON; BY JULY 16 THEY HAD REPLACED ONE SHOCK ABSORBER, THE GAS PUMP AND TANK, AND ONE OXYGEN SENSOR (MILEAGE AT THIS POINT 22,594). ON JULY 22, 2015 I WENT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE OF CHECK ENGINE AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR REPLACING THE CATALYST. BECAUSE OF THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION EVENT, ALL ABOVEMENTIONED REPAIRS, PLUS FIVE EXECUTED RECALLS (ONE STILL OPEN R909/NHTSA 14V-115) AND AN IMMINENT SIXTH RECALL FOR START BUTTON (THAT DOES NOT SHUTS OFF); I DON'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE'S SAFETY AND QUALITY. I'M AFRAID OF HURTING ME OR SOMEONE ELSE; I COULD NOT AFFORD REPAIRS

I HAVE A CHRYSLER RECALL #R09 (FUEL PUMP RELAY REPLACEMENT). AFTER SPEAKING WITH A FCA RECALL REPRESENTATIVE, I AN TOLD THAT THESE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE, YET MY VEHICLE IS A DANGER TO DRIVE! I DID RESEARCH, AND MY LOCAL DEALER CAN GET A TIPM MODULE WHICH INCLUDES THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, IN JUST 2 DAYS. I CAN HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED IN JUST A WEEK. YET I'M STILL WAITING ON PARTS THAT FCA HAS "APPROVED" FOR THE REPAIR. FCA HAS STILL NOT OFFERED TO GIVE ME A SAFE RENTAL VEHICLE. THEY JUST TOLD ME TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT STALLS/WONT START, OR UNTIL "APPROVED" PARTS ARRIVE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE RECALL REPRESENTATIVE, I WAS TOLD PARTS "MAY" BE AVAILABLE BY THE END OF AUGUST. I FEEL FCA IS DOING ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN TO SAVE MONEY RATHER THAN FIX MY CAR. I WANT MY CAR FIXED. IF "APPROVED" PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE BY THE END OF AUGUST, I WILL BE FILING ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH BOTH FCA, AND NHTSA.
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED SOMETIME EARLY JANUARY 2015 (R09), AND WAS TOLD THAT THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR AT THAT TIME. TO DATE I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY WORD FROM JEEP AS TO WHEN THIS REPAIR WILL BE STARTED OR COMPLETED. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR A SAFETY ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED?

I RECEIVED RECALL R09/14V-115 ON APRIL 27, 2015. AS OF TODAY, JULY 17, 2015, THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO REMEDY TO THIS RECALL. YOUR LETTER STATES THE INTERNAL RELAY ON THE TIPM SHOULD BE DISABLED AND A NEW EXTERNAL RELAY INSTALLED. WHEN CAN I EXPECT THIS PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED?

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY JEEP: THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) CONTAINS AN INTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY THAT COULD OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY OR FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. AN INTERMITTENT OR FAILED FUEL PUMP RELAY COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THREE MONTHS LATER, JEEP SAYS THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE, THEREFORE, MY CAR IS STILL DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. RECALL STATUS: INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. FURTHERMORE, JEEP WANTS TO HACK INTO MY WIRING TO REPLACE A RELAY. THAT RELAY IS ORIGINALLY PART OF THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE A "CHEAP" RATHER THAN "PROPER" APPROACH TO REPAIRING MY VEHICLE. I WANT THE MODULE REPLACED IN WHOLE, AS THIS IS WHERE THE RELAY IN QUESTION WAS ENGINEERED TO RESIDE. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER TO VERIFY THE AVAILABILITY OF THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD ORDER IT AND HAVE IT ON THEIR SHELF IN 2 WORKING DAYS! I WANT JEEP TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY DEFECT IMMEDIATELY, AND PROPERLY, AS THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED TO OPERATE.

PLEASE REVIEW EMAIL CHAIN TO CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER (NOTE: I HAD TO DELETE THEIR PASSIVE RESPONSE TO MY ORIGINAL EMAIL SINCE YOUR SYSTEM LIMITS THE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS. THEY PROVIDED NO REAL SUPPORT OTHER THAN TO GO TO A DEALER, WHICH I HAVE MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE AND THEY HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED ANY ISSUE): DEAR CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN MY ISSUE SERIOUSLY. TONIGHT A SIMILAR SITUATION HAPPENED. THE KEYLESS FOB WAS IN A PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. AS MY WIFE EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE DOORS WERE SOMEHOW LOCKED. SHE WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, AGAIN, THERE WAS SOMEONE OF AGE THAT COULD OPEN THE DOORS. HOWEVER, I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD SON THAT IS NORMALLY IN HIS CAR SEAT, AND WOULD HAVE NO POSSIBILITY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION, AND THIS IS LIFE THREATENING AS WE LIVE IN A HOT CLIMATE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER TIME. MY NEXT EMAIL AND PHONE CALL IS WITH NHTSA. THIS IS 100% UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU HAVE TAKEN MY CONCERNS LIGHTLY. WHEN THERE IS THE FIRST FATALITY DUE TO THIS ISSUE, THERE WILL BE MAJOR CONSEQUENCES TO CHRYSLER. I WILL DISCUSS THIS WITH NHTSA.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
