EARLIER THIS YEAR I STARTED EXPERIENCING STARTING DIFFICULTIES WITH MY JEEP. WHILE PRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE IGNITION WOULD RUN BUT NOT TURN OVER. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START. HOWEVER, OVER THE SUMMER THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE AND ON OCCASION THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD STALL OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 8/23/2014 AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID I HAD A BAD FUEL PUMP AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A PRICE OF $1,300. WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN THE SHOP, I STARTED DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH OF MY PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM THAT A HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING - A BAD TIPM. ON 8/26/2014 I WENT IN TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED ON MY RECEIPT THAT THEY REPLACED THE TIPM AND NOT THE FUEL PUMP. I PRESENTED MY RESEARCH WITH THE SERVICE TECH AND SAID SINCE THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS VEHICLE, THIS SHOULD EITHER BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. HE SAID THAT HE HAD NO AUTHORITY TO DO THIS AND I WAS FORCED TO PAY $1,233.42 TO RETRIEVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NOW BEEN MADE AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHEREIN THE REMEDY WILL BE TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WITH ONE EXTERNAL TO THE TIPM AT NO CHARGE. SINCE MY PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED PRIOR TO THIS RECALL I AM EXPECTING A REIMBURSEMENT OF THE $1,233.42 THAT I HAVE ALREADY PAID. *TR

I HAD A RECALL P36/NHTSA 14V-154 AND CONTACTED THE DEALER. I SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR AUGUST 14, 2014 TO BRING THE CAR IN BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED TO INSPECT AND ORDER THE PART. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF FOR THE DAY, SO THEY COULD INSPECT IT, AND PICKED IT UP AT THE END OF THE DAY. IT IS SEPTEMBER 25, 2014, AND THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME OR RETURNED MY CALLS REGARDING THE REPAIR. I ALSO GOT A SECOND RECALL WHILE WAITING FOR FOLLOW-UP ON THE FIRST FOR THIS VEHICLE: P36/NHTSA 14V-391. I CALLED TO SET THAT APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME TIME AS THEY REPAIR THE FIRST RECALL. I LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE RECEPTIONIST AND NEVER GOT A CALL BACK. I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH I NEED TO MANAGE THEIR RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, AND THEY DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPTS TO MANAGE IT THEMSELVES OR RESPOND TO MY INQUIRIES. WHAT DO I DO FROM HERE?
