THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL EXPERIENCE ENGINE STALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AT TIMES IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE FUNCTIONS. IT HAS LIKEWISE STALLED AT STOP LIGHTS/SIGNALS WHICH IS EQUALLY DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLES ARE APPROACHING FROM BEHIND AT HIGH SPEEDS EXPECTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT TO MOVE WITH THE GREEN LIGHT. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL (P54) RELATED TO THESE ISSUES, HOWEVER THE CHEAP EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY WIRING HARNESS FIX THEY EMPLOYED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEMS CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS INSUFFICIENT AT BEST. IN FACT, THE ISSUES WITH OUR FAMILY VEHICLE HAVE ACTUALLY WORSENED SINCE THE P54 RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN MAY OF 2015. THE VEHICLE'S PROBLEMS HAVE NOW PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START: A TYPICAL SYMPTOM OF THESE DANGEROUS JEEP/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OUTLINING SIMILAR ISSUES I.E., THE VEHICLES BEING DIFFICULT TO START OR NOT STARTING AT ALL, VEHICLES' POWER WINDOWS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, DOOR LOCKS OPENING AND LOCKING ON THEIR OWN, HORN BLARING, THE VEHICLE NOT RECOGNIZING THE FOB, ELECTRONIC FUEL PUMPS REMAINING ON AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND STALLING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. A COMMON THEME RELATED TO ALL OF THESE ISSUES SEEMS TO BE THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER FOR THE VEHICLES OR THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). IT SEEMS FIAT - CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR OEM MANUFACTURED TIPM PARTS FOR SOME TIME, SINCE 2007, BUT TOOK THE WOEFULLY INADEQUATE ROUTE OF CORRECTING ONLY A SMALL AND LESS DANGEROUS ISSUE OF THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. HENCE THEIR COURT ORDERED P54 EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP WIRING HARNESS, WHICH ON A GOOD DAY WILL CORRECT THE FUEL PUMP RUN-ON. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IS THE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE MANDATE A SAFETY RECALL.
