My vehicles recall cannot be fixed because recall part is not available. They have apparently not created a working recall part yet. My vehicle hesitates to turn on just like it did before when the recall had to be fixed for the second time around. I have reached out to Jeep and Chrysler numerous times with not much help. They tell me to contact dealer for temporary fix, dealer tells me there is no part available for temporary fix. I have been trying to get something done for over 6 months now with no help. It is very disturbing to know that my vehicle may stall out when I am going down the highway with my family in our family vehicle. The vehicle is starting to show the problem of the recall again. Sometimes is doesn't even start at all it just tries to start the engine.I had called back in January 2020 and went in loops with the company on borrowing a car until mine was fix and they did not seem to care about my families safety at all.

Chrysler recall V62 safety recall for fuel pump relay is now over 6 months old. Still no parts made available to dealers to provide repair. Periodically cannot start vehicle due to lack of power to the fuel pump, so cannot drive vehicle safely with possibility engine could stop while driving. Cannot drive unsafe vehicle. When I contacted Chrysler numerous times, no one can tell me when this will be remedied. Vehicle is parked since December. Have to borrow a car from son. NHTSA should force Chrysler to declare this as mandatory recall. It affects over 520,000 vehicles. All those people are risking their lives and those of their families by driving a vehicle whose engine could stall while driving. A class-action lawsuit of Chrysler may be necessary if NHTSA cannot force Chrysler to deliver the remedy. If people die due to the delays and negligence, NHTSA and Chrysler are both responsible. Sick and tired of this incompetence and dangerous delay. It doesn't seem to matter how many people complain to NHTSA or Chrysler. Lives are at risk and no one is doing anything about it.
