April '20 received recall #v62/NHTSA 19v-813 for fuel pump relay. Fuel pump relay is susceptible to silicon contamination on the relay contacts which can cause relay to fail. "a vehicle engine stall while driving can cause a vehicle crash without warning. This recall was issued 11/14/19. To date no repair is available per my calls to the fca recall assistance center, reedman toll's auto world (dealership where I purchased the Jeep). I have been driving the car a limited amount due to the recall. I had to drive the car on the PA turnpike for a doctor's appointment. I realized then how many people would die if my engine stalled, without warning, while I was traveling at 65 mph. Surrounded by tractor trailers and cars. I have called Jeep corporate telephone numbers and the switchboard refers me to the fca recall assistance or the dealer. Reedman auto world stated they do not have a fix for the recall. Is Jeep not fixing this recall because any deaths will be collateral damage? I would my vehicle fixed or a comparable loaner car. If you are not the right place to contact please let me know who I should contact. I think this is a life threatening issue.
Intermittently, vehicle will take a long time to start using the push-to-start button. Sometimes the engine will stall seconds after the long start happens, after enough time to go into drive/reverse from being stationary. This has been dangerous as the vehicle is moving (pulling into traffic from parking spot, city street) when the engine stalls. At that time the only way to restart is to re-cycle the push-to-start button through the off/accessory/on. Typically after the stall the vehicle will start right up. Vehicle has had the tipm recall (#15v-115) performed.
I have a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I have taken my car to the dealership twice now for the engine stalling as I climb a hill and for it kicking into gear when sitting still with my foot still on the brake. The car jerks extremely hard to the point where you think you have been hit by another car. It also does this when switching between the first 3 gears. The first time I took it in, the dealership told me they had to adjust the computer on the engine. This did not work as I am still experiencing the same issue. I also have noticed a decrease in my mileage per gallon. I was getting 14 and am now getting 9 miles per gallon. My outlet buttons are all sticking on my dashboard and are hard to the touch to turn on. When trying to turn on one button, all buttons light up. Ie. . Parking assistance, skid control, etc. My headlights also would not turn on when driving. The only lights that worked were the high beams. This has happened to me three times while driving. The dealership states that they can not replicate the issue.
