ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, MY ENGINED BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. FINALLY MY CAR WOULD NOT START UP AND REQUIRED TOWING. THROUGHOUT THIS TIME, ABNORMAL NOISES COULD BE HEARD FROM THE STARTER. THE DEALER TRIED TO REPAIR IT BY REPLACING THE CHRYSLER JEEP TAFN KIT AND CHARGED ME $1,361 FOR THE SERVICE. BUT THE CAR WAS STILL NOT REPAIRED AND WORKING PROPERLY SINCE IT CONTINUED STALLING WHILE DRIVING PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY, NOT ACCELERATING, SHOWING THE ELECTRONIC STABILIZER LIGHT GOING ON ALONG WITH NO POWER, AND EMITTING SCREECHING NOISES WHEN TURNED ON. AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT IT "MIGHT BE CAM SENSOR" AND CHARGED ME AGAIN ($324) FOR A REPAIR SERVICE THAT HAD NO IMPACT EXCEPT TO MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE. SO THE CAR IS STILL NOT REPAIRED OR FUNCTIONING AND CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBE ABOVE. IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR, I RECEIVED A RECALL (P54) NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT A FUEL PUMP RELAY PROBLEM THAT DESCRIBED THE PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY CAR WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS; BUT YOU CAN SEE, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. IN ITS RECALL MESSAGE, CHRYSLER RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT YOU IF MY DEALER HAS FAILED OR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE. MY COMPLAINT IS TWO FOLD: THE DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED AND THE DEALER KEEPS CHARGING ME FOR EACH SERVICE REPAIR VISIT. *DT

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FOR MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN OCTOBER 2014. THE VEHICLE NOW STRUGGLES TO START ALMOST EVERY TIME IT IS PROMPTED TO. IT USUALLY TAKES TWO OR THREE ATTEMPTS TO SUCCESSFULLY START AFTER IT MAKES A SORT OF REV TYPE OF NOISE AND EVEN PRODUCES AN ODOR WHICH IS SMELT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THE PART TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE, AND WHEN IT DOES BECOME AVAILABLE, THERE ARE OVER 20 PEOPLE AHEAD OF ME ON THE WAITING LIST TO BE REPAIRED. THE RECALL STATES THAT THE ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH MAKES ME FEARFUL FOR MY, AND OTHERS, SAFETY BEING THAT I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE EVERYDAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECREASED IN SPEED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, WHO INSTALLED A NEW FUEL INJECTOR KIT AND TIMING BELT BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT SHREDDED AND A STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BUT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO START. TRIES TO TURN OVER BUT WON'T. HAD HAPPENED VERY INTERMITTENTLY FOR PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. OVER PAST MONTH HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME I TRY TO START THE CAR. USED TO ONLY DO IT ONCE AND THEN IT WOULD START ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT BUT IS NOW DOING THE "TRY BUT WON'T START" THING 6 AND 7 TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE IT WILL FINALLY TURN OVER. NOW SMELLING RAW FUEL AFTER IT STARTS DUE TO IT TRYING SO MANY TIMES TO CRANK. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE SAME EXCUSE AS MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE..."WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET." I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS 2 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES IF IT BEGINS STALLING IN TRAFFIC LIKE OTHERS ARE REPORTING, IT'S COMPLETELY TRASHING MY STARTER/BATTERY/ETC AS IT SITS THERE AND TRIES TO CRANK MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE IN MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AS I HAVE HAD TONS OF RUN INS WITH THEM OVER WARRANTY WORK DUE TO MULTIPLE PROBLEMS MY JEEP HAS HAD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING STALLING A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE AT LOW SPEEDS. ALSO FAILURE TO START AND A FAN LIKE NOISE COMING FROM AROUND THE FUEL PUMP. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, BUT I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIPM AND THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THE DEALERSHIP IS SCHEDULING 2 MONTHS OUT HOPING THEY WOULD HAVE THE PART BY THEN, WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH 2 KIDS IN A CAR THAT SHUTS OFF ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH. *TR
