It hasn't failed yet, the recall is for the fuel pump relay. We got a notice and have been trying to get the dealer to fix it since December with no success. The notice says it can fail and cause an accident... if the dealer is in no hurry to fix it, who is responsible if it fails, causing an accident that kills my family?

Grand Cherokee

My 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee caught fire due to a faulty vanity visor mirror wiring that has a recall and was repaired per recall prior to the fire. I was able to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. My car has had the recall performed and was in to two different dealerships this year for recall service. Had I not been in a parking structure, I wouldn't have had access to a fire extinguisher and the car certainly would have burnt to the ground. I was entering a parking structure at the time of incident (driving). Recall number:15V-879

Grand Cherokee

  • 214,000 miles
My 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee started making a ticking noise the second time the default water pump was replaced 4 years ago in recall warranty and has made an audible ticking noise since then. Despite multiple complaints to two dealerships, in anniston, al and foley, al, I have been told the ticking was normal for the hemi 5.7L engine. Three weeks ago, I took a Jeep for a routine oil change and the technician wrote on my multi-point inspection paperwork 'noticed an audible ticking'. this technician has told me twice previously that this was normal and failed to mention to me personally while in the dealership. I only noticed he wrote it on my paperwork after I had left. I called and requested to speak with the technique concerning the ticking and I was told I would receive a call back and to this moment have never received a call. After researching online, I see this is a very common issue with the hemi 5.7L engine however, Chrysler has failed to issue a recall to correct the default engines. The ticking speeds up when accelerating the vehicle. The vehicle has stalled two in the last two days. Once, in the driveway after the vehicle had be started and running for approximately three minutes. The second time, while driving down a busy highway and slowing for a car to turn ahead of me. I luckily was able to veer off the road to prevent an accident. Following this, my fcw turned off without warning and will not allow me to turn back on. Currently, my vehicle has an open recall to, again, replace the faulty fuel pump relay switch which has already been replaced three prior times, once by the Jeep dealership and twice by a private technician. This recall was issued a year ago and still does not have a remedy per the dealership. I travel frequently, at times 300 miles per day.my child travels with me and I fear the vehicle will fail while driving on a highway or interstate.
