VEHICLE CONSTANTLY STALLS. RECALL WAS PERFORMED FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HOWEVER THIS DID NOT COMPLETELY SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS IT STILL STALLS RANDOMLY OR WON'T START AT ALL. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT ON THE ROAD FROM RANDOM STALLS. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANICS AND THEY SAY THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS BURNING OUT THE FUSES AND I NEED TO CONSTANTLY CHECK ON THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT BURNT OUT. TOOK IT TO BROOKDALE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE AFTER RECALL WAS PERFORMED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT STILL STALLING YEARS AGO. BROOKDALE CHRYSLER REFUSED TO PERFORM ANY SERVICE AS THEY COULD NOT 'DUPLICATE' THE ISSUE. EVER SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT'S HORRIFYING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES AND INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED AS I'M STILL PAYING OFF THIS VEHICLE. RANDOMLY STALLS ON TURNS, CITY ROADS, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OR EVEN WHEN IN IDLE.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD, HAS STARTED TO STALL OUT WHEN I AM ACCELERATING FORWARD. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND HAS SHOWN A ZIGZAG ICON, ON MY SCREEN,( WHICH I AM NOT SURE OF THE MEANING OF THAT ICON). BUT I DO KNOW IF FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS A FUEL FAILURE, PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN ON CITY STREETS, AND WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN ON ACCELERATION. IT ALMOST HAS COME TO A STALL, ON ALL OCCASIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHOUT NOTICE, ON AT LEAST, HALF A DOZEN TIMES. IT IS SCARY AS I SOMETIMES NEED TO HAVE MORE POWER, THAN I AM GETTING WHEN IT STALLS. IT HAS ENOUGH HESITATION, TO CAUSE ME TO BE IN DANGER AT TIMES. I AM TRYING TO GET AN APPT AT JIM SMOLICH MOTORS, IN BEND OREGON, TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, BUT I DID NOTICE A RECALL NOTICE, THAT IS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE, AND THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE THIS IS. PLEASE REPLY AND SET UP AN APPT. WITH THE ABOVE JEEP DEALER IF YOU CAN. THANK YOU. [XXX], BEND OREGON. PH [XXX].

I WENT TO THE JEEP SERVICE CENTER AND THEY RECOGNIZED AND CONFIRMED IT AS MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: V62 OR (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 19V-813). THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT DUE TO "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" AND THEY ACTUALLY DON'T SEE ANY OPEN RECALL ON THEIR SYSTEM BY THE COMPANY JEEP. I SHOW THEM WHAT SAFERCAR.COM SAYS ON THE INTERNET BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP DUE TO LACK OF INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURE AND JEEP COMPANY. I CALL 1-800-853-1403 BUT THE GUY COULDN'T HELP ME IF I AM CURRENTLY OUT OF THE US. I ALSO CALL 1-586-274-8176 OF INTERNATIONAL SERVICE BUT NO ANSWER OR ASSISTANCE.

THIS IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS
