2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL PUMP RELAY SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

ON 1/22/20 I SPOKE WITH ASMA AT FCA REGARDING AN ISSUE MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS HAVING WITH A FUEL RELAY RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V-813). I INFORMED ASMA THAT MY JEEP HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING- SEVERAL OF THE TIMES WERE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS INFORMED BY ASMA THAT THERE IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX, HOWEVER BECAUSE I WAS EXPERIENCING ISSUES, I COULD TAKE IT TO MY DEALERSHIP FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. ON 1/22/20, I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE TEMPORARY FUEL RELAY PART PLACED ON MY VEHICLE. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS WARNED THAT SINCE THE PART IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX, THEY COULD NOT ESTIMATE HOW LONG IT WOULD BE BEFORE I EXPERIENCED ISSUES AGAIN. ON SATURDAY, 2/1/20 WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN MY JEEP ONCE AGAIN STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. OF NOTE, WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT ALSO CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO GO OUT. SO DURING THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE ON 2/1/20 WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE UP OVER A CURB TO AVOID GETTING HIT DUE TO VEHICLE DECELERATION AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A RESULT OF THE FAULTY FUEL RELAY RECALL. I FILED ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH TASHA AT FCA RECALL DEPARTMENT ON 2/3/20. PER TASHA, SHE STATES THAT SHE IS GOING TO HAVE A CASE MANAGER REVIEW MY CASE AND CONTACT ME IN 1-3 BUSINESS DAYS. WHEN I QUESTIONED TASHA ABOUT THE SAFTETY OF MY VEHICLE, SHE SUGGESTED THAT I PURCHASE A RENTAL VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED IF I WOULD BE REIMBURSED BY JEEP AND/OR FCA, SHE STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT A CLAIM FOR POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO RENT A VEHICLE UNTIL THIS ISSUE UNTIL A PERMANENT FIX IS DETERMINED BY FCA AS IT COULD BE MONTHS. STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN/COME TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL SPORADICALLY STALL. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL STILL WORKS (RADIO, LIGHTS, STEREO) AND THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT SHOW UP ON THE DASH. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF IS TO EITHER LOOK AT THE TACHOMETER AND NOTICE THE NEEDLE IS SITTING ON ZERO, OR PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT UP WITH A PUSH OF THE START BUTTON. ALL PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AS WELL AS THE LATEST V62 INTERIM RECALL AS RECENT AS 3 DAYS AGO. VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN THIS MORNING WHILE APPROACHING A 4-WAY STOP SIGN ON THE WAY TO WORK.

TWO RECENT EVENTS, WHEN BRAKING IN SLOW TRAFFIC THERE WAS SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. EVEN WITH STRONGER AND FORCEFUL BRAKE PRESSURE THE JEEP WAS STILL MOVING AND WANTING TO KEEP GOING WITH ENGINE REVVING. HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN ENGINE QUIT REVVING AND THINGS RETURNED TO NORMAL. I HAVE THIS JEEP 10 YEARS AND AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT. NEVER ANY WRECKS. NO MEDICAL PROBLEMS. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT INTERFERING WITH ANY PEDALS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY SERVICED THE THROTTLE-BODY AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. THIS APPARENTLY WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AS THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING OCCURRED A SECOND TIME. IN GOOGLING THIS PROBLEM A BLOG MENTIONED THIS COULD BE THE JEEP BRAKE-BOOSTER WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED AND WAS REPLACED ON MY JEEP 2 YEARS AGO. GOOGLE BRINGS UP THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION AS A COMMON SEARCH BUT NO CLEAR ANSWERS. I KNOW ABOUT THE TOYOTA ACCELERATION PROBLEM IN THE 1990'S, THAT THEY NEVER FOUND OR ADMITTED ANYTHING MECHANICAL AND ASSUMED IT WAS GRANNY USING TWO FEET. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 JEEP. WILL TAKE TO DEALERSHIP BUT THEY ALREADY SAID THEY AREN'T AWARE OF THIS BEING A JEEP DEFECT. I REGISTERED THIS COMPLAINT WITH JEEP CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM TO CALL THEM BACK AND THEY WILL WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THIS. THEY WORRISOME THING IS THEY WILL DO SOMETHING FOR $1000 AND THEN I HAVE THIS BRAKE/ACCELERATION OCCUR A 3RD TIME AND IT CAUSES A CRASH!
