Jeep was taken in for the p54 fuel pump relay recall on 6/12/15. Next morning after returning from dealer, the engine would crank but not start. This problem was intermittent, and the engine would sometimes start after 15-30 minutes of trying. Eventually on 6/15/15 it wouldn't start all morning so was towed back to dealer. They couldn't replicate problem and released car back to me doing nothing. Intermittent no start continued for weeks, car taken back to dealer on 7/6/15 and they replaced win module, another component of ignition system. Next morning, 7/7/15, car would not start again. Intermittent crank/no start condition continued to occur for weeks, car taken back to dealer on 7/22/15. This time dealer spent almost 3 weeks working on the problem. First, the fuel pump relay (the recall part already replaced once) was determined to be faulty and was replaced. This didn't solve the problem, and the tipm was said to be causing the condition, and was replaced on 8/10/15. Jeep worked for a week until today, 8/15/15, while driving down a busy long island road car stalled out while driving ~30 mph. My wife and our 4 month old baby were in the car, and I was somewhat terrified. There was traffic surrounding us, and I was left with no power to the brakes or steering. Luckily I was already in the right lane and was able to put hazards on and pull over slowly without incident. If there had been a red light or sudden braking in front of me however, the situation would have been much different. After pulling over, car cranked/no start as it has previously for the past months, and did so for 20 minutes until finally started and drove it home. I have had our Jeep in the shop 4 times for what seems to be the issue described in the fuel pump relay recall, but we are still experiencing the same problem! I am at my wits end, and no longer feel safe in this vehicle.

Jeep would not start I thought it was the fuel pump so I took it to a mechanic. The diagnosed it an also thought it was the pump. They changed it out and I still had the same issue. After looking at it again the mechanic told me that he had read up on a problem several Jeeps vehicles were having and it was the same problem as my Jeep. They changed the ignition module and it works great now. It took about a week and half to get the part in due to the fact that many people are having the same problem. I believe that Jeep should recall all the vehicles that have this module because it seems like it is becoming a big issue.

The consumer stated when the vehicle stalled, it became impossible to the steer the vehicle, the brakes did not respond, the headlights went out, they blinkers did not work and the dashboard was dark. The only display on the sash was the radio/navigation display and the center console text indicating how to start the vehicle. The consumer tried pressing the brake and the start button, but nothing happened. When she slowed down enough, she pushed the transmission lever hard into park, hoping to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The service technician determined the remote keyless entry module was not communicating correctly with the other modules associated with operating the vehicle correctly. An update was performed on the modules, including the remote keyless entry module. However, the technician could not guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. On January 9, 2013, a similar symptom occurred again. When the consumer pushed the ignition button, the vehicle started, but it only lasted for a moment. It then shut down and the center console text displayed on how to start the vehicle. The consumer then pressed the brake and the push button and the vehicle started again, but shut down minutes later. When the key fob was physically placed in the ignition location, the vehicle started without any problems.
