2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I WAS IN TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 25-30 MPH WHEN I LIGHTLY TOUCHED MY GAS PEDAL AND MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL. SINCE I WAS GOING TOO SLOW I WASN'T ABLE TO GET TO THE LEFT LANE AND THE SHOULDER ON THE RIGHT LANE WAS NARROW SO I SAT HALF IN THE RIGHT LANE HALF ON THE SHOULDER WITH A DEAD CAR FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO TURN BACK ON. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY 495N IN MARYLAND DURING RUSH HOUR.

MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE THE SECOND TIME THE DEFAULT WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED 4 YEARS AGO IN RECALL WARRANTY AND HAS MADE AN AUDIBLE TICKING NOISE SINCE THEN. DESPITE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO TWO DEALERSHIPS, IN ANNISTON, AL AND FOLEY, AL, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE TICKING WAS NORMAL FOR THE HEMI 5.7L ENGINE. THREE WEEKS AGO, I TOOK A JEEP FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN WROTE ON MY MULTI-POINT INSPECTION PAPERWORK 'NOTICED AN AUDIBLE TICKING'. THIS TECHNICIAN HAS TOLD ME TWICE PREVIOUSLY THAT THIS WAS NORMAL AND FAILED TO MENTION TO ME PERSONALLY WHILE IN THE DEALERSHIP. I ONLY NOTICED HE WROTE IT ON MY PAPERWORK AFTER I HAD LEFT. I CALLED AND REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH THE TECHNIQUE CONCERNING THE TICKING AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK AND TO THIS MOMENT HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE HEMI 5.7L ENGINE HOWEVER, CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE DEFAULT ENGINES. THE TICKING SPEEDS UP WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWO IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. ONCE, IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BE STARTED AND RUNNING FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES. THE SECOND TIME, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY AND SLOWING FOR A CAR TO TURN AHEAD OF ME. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. FOLLOWING THIS, MY FCW TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN BACK ON. CURRENTLY, MY VEHICLE HAS AN OPEN RECALL TO, AGAIN, REPLACE THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED THREE PRIOR TIMES, ONCE BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND TWICE BY A PRIVATE TECHNICIAN. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED A YEAR AGO AND STILL DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY PER THE DEALERSHIP. I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY, AT TIMES 300 MILES PER DAY.MY CHILD TRAVELS WITH ME AND I FEAR THE VEHICLE WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 12 MONTHS AGO - V62/NHTSA 19V-813, FUEL PUMP RELAY. A ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP 2 TIMES IN LAST WEEK WITH ISSUES WITH THE ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP. FAILURE TO START FROM A COLD AND A WARM START HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. FIRST REPAIR COST $553.66 AND TODAY'S REPAIR OF THE FUEL PUMP WHILE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (SINCE THE FIRST RECALL PART FAILED) DOESN'T HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. SHOULD NOT TAKE 12 MONTHS TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE OF THIS MAGNATUDE. IT IS VERY STRESSFUL DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS HAVING ISSUES AND COULD FAIL AND CAUSE A CRASH. HOW SOON WILL THIS RECALL BE RECTIFIED?11
