56 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/13/2020

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.

My 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo 4x4 has randomly but continuously stalled or hasn't started up successfully for the past year that I have owned it. This has caused much stress, anxiety, and inconvenience for me, my wife and young daughter. We live with the constant fear of being left stranded throughout or own city or worst yet stranded out of town during family road trips. This is completely unacceptable and undesirable as loyal Jeep vehicle owners of several different Jeep models including two Jeep patriots and one Jeep liberty. This past Friday I was unable to start up my Jeep to go to work and was left stranded in my garage. I had to miss work that day and have the Jeep towed to a local authorized dealership where it is still parked four days later unable to start up and is undiagnosed or repaired. This is causing me and my family much financial hardship due to my wife and I having to alternate missing work or trying to borrow a spare vehicle from other family members. I hope to have a remedy as soon as possible by the manufacturer as this issue and subsequent recall has been in effect since last year 2019. I hope that this complaint does not fall on deaf ears and that a solution is developed and provided to me and my family right away.
