Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Had v62 recall done at the dealer. No problems for 14 months of ownership until after recall the so-called fix. Now the engine shuts off when going in reverse. Had 2nd dealer diagnostics done and still have a shutting off engine problem!.

My vehicle left me stranded at a target store parking lot. My vehicle was on with the a/c running. The vent blowers stopped working and the vehicle shut off. It cranked but no start. I used my aaa membership to have the car towed. It was sent to the aaa mechanic. The fuel pump relay was no good. I know there was a recall on this relay but the dealer never had the part in stock. Which sounded bogus to me. The mechanic explained that there is a recall and I should get reimbursed. I sent in my completed the Chrysler reimbursement request form and submitted the shops receipt and the rental vehicle receipt. I was assigned case # 76491689. I paid $3004. 00 in cash for repairs. After I submitted my receipts they denied my claim for $1309. 00 that was related to the fuel pump relay repair. The mechanic also performed other repairs that he claims were as a result of the recall damaging the vehicle. I asked for another receipt stating specifically that I paid in cash and resubmitted it to the denied claim email. I am unemployed due to covid-19 and I spent my savings to fix my vehicle. The ramifications of this mess has affected my personal life and my mental health. For a moment I felt the the mechanic lied to me and I was contemplating to physical harm the mechanic. I already had several verbal disputes with the shop because they claim that the receipt they gave me is all they can provide. Yet it was deemed as insufficient proof of my cash payment. I reached out to news station for siaitance you resolve this matter.

While driving my car in the city, I experienced a sudden engine shutdown, and entirely lost control over the car (steering, breaks etc. ) the car was towed to Chrysler's certified garage, where the malfunction was identified as a failure of the fuel pump relay (the same relay which was already been replaced, as part of recall r09). The garage also re-confirmed that this relay has been replaced under the recall, in 2015. The meaning of this failure demonstrates that practically, replacing the unit under recall r09 has not solved the problem and the risk is still there! I have reported this incident to fca in europe, and was responded that this failure "could happen in 5 years old car" and therefore, there is no safety issue that requires them to warn other owners. However, I have found on-line lots of similar complaints, most of them in the us, indicating that the failure of the replaced fuel relay is common, and that fca do not take responsibility. .
