The fuel pump recall of the recall is absolutely ridiculous. I have already filed one complaint about this issue and went on deaf ears. I have been complaining about this problem to Jeep and dealer for years and they just tell me that they will not issue recall for a car that is ten years old. The first recall was a joke and the cheapest fix I have ever seen and of course it did not work and here we are again. The real problem with the Jeep is the tipm module and this whole part needs to be recalled. Too many lives are at risk for Jeep to try another patch job this time around. Jeep could re-engineer the tipm and fix all these cars very easily but no one will force them to do it. Please help! I am tired of risking my familys life over not holding Jeep responsible for the safety of their vehicles. I have been sent a recall notice (2nd attempt at recall) but they say they have no fix for the problem yet, or in other words they have not come up with one cheap enough to suit their needs. It is time to make Jeep recall the tipm module and fix this issue once and for all and it would not even put a dent in any Jeep profits but yet we have to risk our lives since the NHTSA will not do anything to Jeep. Starting to become a boeing like problem with car manufactures. I have been on hold with Jeep for 2 hours and they safety recall website does not work half the time which is really concerning. Please help! (recall related incident)

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.

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.

While I am driving the car with my kids on the highway and suddenly the fuel pump failed due to relay failure and the car immediately stops in the middle of the highway also, sometimes the car no-start. I needed to terned the switch off for a few minutes and then it starts again. 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. I bought the car in the us and it is now with me during my stay in israel - the company service just doesn't have a remedy or solution or Jeep instructions on how to fix it. This is very unsafe to drive the car. (recall related incident)
