I HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND WASN'T AWARE OF RECALL T36 AND NOW MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT (RECALL V62). MY TRUCK WAS STALLING AT FIRST, NOW IT WON'T RUN AT ALL. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS IN STOCK. THE COST TO REPAIR OUT OF POCKET IS $1450.00. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. THANK YOU!
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 ADDRE
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE CAR WAS MOVING AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED AND NO COLLISION OR CONTACT WITH ANYTHING HAS OCCURRED.

IN NOVEMBER 2019, CHRYLSER RECALLED APPROXIMATELY 528,594 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS FROM MODEL YEARS 2011 TO 2013 BECAUSE FUEL-PUMP RELAYS MAY INTERRUPT ELECTRICAL CURRENT AND PREVENT ENGINE START-UP AND/OR CONTRIBUTE TO A STALL WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER IS STILL CLAIMING THE PART IS 'OUT OF STOCK' NEARLY 9 MONTHS LATER. WE CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR, OR SELL IT BECAUSE OF THIS OPEN RECALL. THE CAR FREQUENTLY WILL NOT START, AND WE ARE VERY CONCERNED OF A STALL DURING DRIVING IF THE VEHICLE DOES START. WE BELIEVE CHRYSLER HAS NOT TAKEN APPROPRIATE ACTION TO MANUFACTURE OR DISTRIBUTE THE REPLACEMENT FUEL-PUMP RELAY, AND THEY CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR THE PART TO BE IN STOCK.

FUEL PUMP RELAY - MY CAR STALLS WHEN IT WANTS AND TAKES OFF REALLY FAST WHEN IT WANTS, AND STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO TRANSMISSION. - I AM TOLD THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION MY CAR IS SLIPPING GEARS
I HEARD ABOUT THIS RECALL IN 2019, ACCORDING TO NHTSA WEBSITE, THE RECALL IS FROM NOVEMBER 2019. I HAVE CHECKED MONTH AFTER MONTH WITH THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND NO WORD ON ANY PARTS OR FIXES. IT'S NOW JULY 2020 AND STILL NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I'M GETTING WORRIED MORE AND MORE DAILY ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT COULD HAPPEN IF THE RECALL ISSUE IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF. IT WILL BE 1 YEAR WITHIN ONLY A FEW SHORT MONTHS.
RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 REMEDY SAYS THAT WE WILL RECEIVE A SECOND NOTICE WHEN FINAL REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE. IT NOTES THAT VEHICLES EXPERIENCING A FUEL PUMP FAILURE WILL RECEIVE AN INTERIM REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN TO 2 DEALERSHIPS AND CALLED FCA MULTIPLE TIMES TO TALK ABOUT THIS RECALL'S INTERIM REPAIR AND HAVE BEEN SENT AROUND WITH NO ANSWER. THEY SEEM TO BE PURPOSELY DODGING ANY ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS INTERIM REPAIR THEY HAVE PROMISED. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.
MY TRANSFER CASE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, IT JERKS WHEN I BREAK AND HIT MY GAS, I CAN BARLEY TURN MY VEHICLE WITHOUT THE WHOLE CAR SHAKING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $4K TO FIX, THE PART IS BACK ORDERED, THERE'S 4 CARS BEFORE ME GETTING THE SAME PROBLEM FIXED. THERE'S OVER 150K PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING. THEY TOLD ME IF I DRIVE MY CAR IT WOULD CAUSE IT TO SHUT DOWN AND THEN IT WOULDN'T BE FIXABLE. BUT JEEP REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY KNOW THIS IS THEIR FAULT. ON TOP OF THAT, MY FUEL RELAY IS RECALLED WITH NO SOLUTION AND MY JEEP COULD TURN OFF ON ME AT ANY MOMENT. THEY TOLD THE TRANSFER CASE IS NOT RECALLED BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFUSE TO FIX IT.
I KEEP EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE -- VEHICLE WON'T START AFTER LONG EXTENDED CRANK AND THEN SHUTS OFF. APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, YET THE SAME ISSUE HAS REOCCURRED. THIS TIME IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A WIRING ISSUE TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA) REFUSED TO REIMBURSE JANUARY 2018 AND AGAIN JULY 2020. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN OPEN RECALL (V62 / NHTSA 19V-813 AND R09 / NHTSA 14V-115) WITH NO REMEDY RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP THAT RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE REQUESTED THEY REPLACE OR REFUND THE VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE LEFT ME STRANDED AT A TARGET STORE PARKING LOT. MY VEHICLE WAS ON WITH THE A/C RUNNING. THE VENT BLOWERS STOPPED WORKING AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. IT CRANKED BUT NO START. I USED MY AAA MEMBERSHIP TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. IT WAS SENT TO THE AAA MECHANIC. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS NO GOOD. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS RELAY BUT THE DEALER NEVER HAD THE PART IN STOCK. WHICH SOUNDED BOGUS TO ME. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED. I SENT IN MY COMPLETED THE CHRYSLER REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST FORM AND SUBMITTED THE SHOPS RECEIPT AND THE RENTAL VEHICLE RECEIPT. I WAS ASSIGNED CASE # 76491689. I PAID $3004.00 IN CASH FOR REPAIRS. AFTER I SUBMITTED MY RECEIPTS THEY DENIED MY CLAIM FOR $1309.00 THAT WAS RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY REPAIR. THE MECHANIC ALSO PERFORMED OTHER REPAIRS THAT HE CLAIMS WERE AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL DAMAGING THE VEHICLE. I ASKED FOR ANOTHER RECEIPT STATING SPECIFICALLY THAT I PAID IN CASH AND RESUBMITTED IT TO THE DENIED CLAIM EMAIL. I AM UNEMPLOYED DUE TO COVID-19 AND I SPENT MY SAVINGS TO FIX MY VEHICLE. THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS MESS HAS AFFECTED MY PERSONAL LIFE AND MY MENTAL HEALTH. FOR A MOMENT I FELT THE MECHANIC LIED TO ME AND I WAS CONTEMPLATING TO PHYSICAL HARM THE MECHANIC.

IN THE REAR, THERE IS A POPPING NOISE WHILE TURNING OR TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP AT A LIGHT IT POPS REAL LOUD AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK.

AFTER FINDING OUT THAT THERE WERE 5 RECALLS, I TOOK THE JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM FIX IT. I PICKED IT UP A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER THEY SAID IT WAS READY. THE DAY AFTER PICKING IT UP...I WAS AGAIN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE JEEP DID THE EXACT SAME THING!!! AGAIN LUCKILY I KNEW THE SIGNS AND PULLED OVER QUICKLY BUT STILL LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT. *TR

MARCH 2020, I WENT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A RECALL REPAIRED ON MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, DUE TO ISSUE WITH MY CAR STARTING. I CONTACTED MOPAR REGARDING THE PROCEDURE TO REPAIR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL. I WAS ADVISED NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE YET, AND THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD USE A REPLACEMENT PART TO TEMPORARILY REPAIR THE RECALL. RECALL V62 WAS REPAIRED, ALONG WITH 2 OTHER RECALLS, STATED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN MARCH 2020. JUNE 8, 2020 MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, I IMMEDIATELY INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR NEVER WAS COMPLETED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MOPAR AND REPRESENTATIVES AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO SUBMIT THE CORRECT DOCUMENTATION TO MOPAR, ALSO GAVE ME MISINFORMATION, AND THE TEMPORARY FIX FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN HESITATING TO START AFTER SEVERAL TIMES FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. THE VEHICLE THEN SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, AND IT THEN STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN A BUSY AREA ON JUNE 8, 2020. I CONTACTED AND OPENED A CASE THROUGH MOPAR REGARDING THE RECALL PROCEDURES AFTER MY CAR HAS STALLED, AND THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME TO "DRIVE SAFE" AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO SOLUTION OR TIMELINE FOR THE FINAL RECALL REPAIR. THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT UNTIL MY CAR HAS FURTHER ISSUES, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET A CASE MANAGER.

CURRENT ISSUE - WHILE WAITING IN A FAST FOOD LINE THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON... AFTER RECEIVING FOOD - I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND BEFORE I COULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, IT STARTED GIVING OFF ERROR CODES RELATED TO VARIOUS ELECTRICAL ITEMS NOT BEING AVAILABLE - FIRST WARNING - SVC. AIR SUSPENSION - SECOND - BLIND SPOT DETECTION NOT AVAILABLE - THIRD EVIC ERROR - FOURTH - ADAPTIVE CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE... THEN DIED AND SMELT LIKE BURNING RUBBER WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE... A FAILED EFFORT BY ROADSIDE SERVICE TO JUMP THE VEHICLE DID MANAGE TO TURN ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHICH WOULDN'T TURN OFF BUT THAT'S ALL THAT ACCOMPLISHED SO I HAD ROADSIDE SERVICE PUT IT ON A FLATBED AND TOW IT TO MY HOUSE SINCE NOTHING WAS OPENED AND I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE IT SOMEWHERE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN (OF COURSE THEY WOULDN'T ROLL UP)... PRETTY CLEARLY THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE T39 ALTERNATOR RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED DUE TO BAD DIODES WHICH CAUSE THE ALTERNATOR TO FRY THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WITH VERY LITTLE WARNING... THE CAR SHOULD DIE AND THEN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ALTERNATOR SHOULD RECTIFY THE SITUATION... NOT - THE LIGHT COMES ON - THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DIES - AND THEN YOU NEED A NEW PCM OR ECM AND ALL NEW WIRING... ISSUE #2 - THE SUSPENSION HAS BEEN A TOTAL FIASCO ACCUMULATING $13,000 IN DEALER ASSESSMENTS NOT UNDER WARRANTY - THE WHOLE SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT WITHIN 80,000 MILES AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING 2 AIR STRUTS - 2 UPPER CONTROL ARMS - THE TIE RODS END LINKS - AND THE CV AXLES - AND THE CO
WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST DEPLOYED UNPROVOKED AND WITHOUT WARNING, STRIKING THE PASSENGER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, NO SUDDEN STOP, JUST NORMAL DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH. THE PLASTIC PIECES THAT HOLD THE HEADREST HAVE FAILED CAUSING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OR FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR
TODAY I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WHEN MY HEAD WAS JERKED FORWARD AFTER THE HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED WHILE STATIONARY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN ST. GEORGE, UT AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER TO FILE A CLAIM. I DID CALL THEM TODAY AND WAS GIVEN A CLAIM NUMBER. NOW I WAIT WHILE THE HEADREST SITS DEPLOYED IN MY JEEP. *TR
GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER HEADREST WAS POPPED OPEN. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR DAYS SINCE WE ARE UNDER A STAY AT HOME ORDER DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WE GOOGLED HOW TO POP IT BACK IN, BUT IT WOULDN'T ATTACH. NOTICED THE PLASTIC TAB WAS BROKEN. I'M JUST GRATEFUL NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT COULD HAVE SHOT THEIR HEAD FORWARD AND INJURED THEM. *TR
THERE IS A LONG STANDING RECALL ON THE SUBJECT VEHICLE FUEL PUMP RELAY. HOWEVER, JEEP IS UNABLE TO SUPPLY A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT PART. UNANTICIPATED FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN LEAD TO IMMEDIATE ENGINE STOPPAGE. FCA IS UNABLE TO GIVE A DATE WHEN THE REPLACEMENT MAY BE AVAILABLE. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING COLUMN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR, TURN SIGNALS, AND BLIND SPOT WARNING ALL FAILED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED. THE INFORMATION SCREEN BETWEEN TACH AND SPEEDOMETER WERE LOCKED INTO ONLY ONE MODE. *JS
THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD TAPPING SOUND FROM ENGINE AT IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT WITH BAD LIFTERS. THE NEEDLE BEARINGS IN THE LIFTERS USED IN THIS ENGINE TEND TO FAIL. THE FAILURE CAUSES THE LIFTER BEARING TO SEIZE UP AND DAMAGE THE CAMSHAFT. HAD LIFTERS REPLACED TWO TIMES IN A 4 MONTH PERIOD. CAMSHAFT REPLACED ONE TIME. RESEARCH ON THE WEB SHOW SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF THIS SAME FAILURE IN HEMI 5.7L ENGINES. THE FAILURE CAN OCCUR ANYWHERE FROM 50,000 MILES TO OVER 100,000 MILES. THE COMMON CAUSE IS THE LIFTER BEARINGS FAILING AND DAMAGING THE CAMSHAFT. REPAIRS RANGE ANYWHERE FROM $3000-5000. THIS LEADS ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THE FAILURE IS DUE TO AN ENGINEERING DEFECT ON THE LIFTERS BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID THE CRANKSHAFT LOST AT LEAST ONE OF THE RAISED PORTIONS THAT LIFTS THE LIFTERS AND THE FILLINGS DAMAGED THE PISTON CYLINDER WALLS REQUIRING THE ENGINE HEADS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $10,000. THE JEEP HAD APPROXIMATED 144,442 MILES AND HAD NEVER SMOKED OR USED ANY OIL UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN WESTERN SO DAKOTA. *TR
FLUID LEAKS FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND AC CONDENSER UNIT, DRIVER SIDE EDGE. SEVERAL SMALL POINTS LEAKS. MECHANIC SAID IT'S A COMMON TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK PROBLEM DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURE AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE COMBINED UNIT AT JEEP DEAR. SEARCH THE INTERNET, SEE QUITE A FEW COMPLAIN.
