Dec 2020: in a parking lot, the engine would turn over but not start. My mechanic bypassed the built-in fuel pump relay in the tipm but the engine would not start. Towed to campbell Jeep, benton ar & they diagnosed that both fuel pumps were bad. Dealer could not give reason both pumps went out but I suspect that statement is untrue given that my research shows that the tipms have been a known problem since 2010. Cost of the repair was $1,871. 96 3/23/at home, the Jeep would turn over but not start as before in Dec 2020. Sat three hours then started. Continues to start but after research I suspect that the built-in fuel relay in the tipm is bad but allows for intermittent starting. I corresponded with an engineer in maryland that has devised fuel relay bypasses for Chrysler's defective tipms. I am purchasing a bypass from him for $36. Were the fuel pumps bad in Dec 2020 or would this $36 part have repaired it? in my research, it has also been reported that the defective tipm may cause the fuel pumps to continue running after the engine is turned off. Did the fuel pumps overheat because of that or did the dealership misdiagnose bad fuel pumps and charge me for work that did not need to be done? I suspect that Chrysler's known defective tipms have caused Chrysler vehicle owners a great deal of money. I also suspect that Chrysler's continued use of the known defective tipms also pose a potential physical danger to the driver & passengers if & when the engine stops in traffic or when they are stranded.
Bought a brand new 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee altitude 4x4. From route 1 Jeep in lawrenceville. Immediately experienced ticking from the engine, faulty computer equipment, and faulty fuel proposition. The sound was duplicated and I was told service would need my car indefinelty until the diagnosis was indentifief and a repair was determined. Also experience pre-mature stopping at fuel pumps. Meaning the pump will shut off as if the tank is filled when it's not, having to manipulate the gas pump nozzle until it allows me to fill. Also experience internitant issues with the speedo and its display. Some times the display doesn't work at all. Keep customer service has been nothing but an obstacle to getting this resolved. And every dealer we go to is "overwhelmed and understaffed" by their own admission. Literally 5 different dealerships in a 50 mile radius gave us the same feedback. I'm am beyond frustrated , hurt , and disgusted after spending 40k+ on my 1st brand new SUV. Was hopeful and wanted to purchase american , but are we really buying american when the parts and car itself are being manufactured in mexico??.
