I had a recall on the fuel pump relay, I had it fixed on February 24,2015, today I had to replace it again, my car stalled 2X while driving, it also wouldn't start several times, would crank but not start. I called mopar and went to Jeep dealership and both refused to replace for free. I keep a spare with me now in case I have the same problem again. I don't want to be stuck in no mans land late at night. I have aaa also. I just hope this isn't going to be a constant problem the consumer stated the there was recall on the vehicle, but the part was unavailable. The consumer stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time completing the recall.
Car shut down/would only crank would not start. No fuel to engine. Car shut down at street light. Tapped on relays in relay box under hood the vehicle started.
Fuel pump relay recall completed over a year ago and fuel pump still quit on me 30nov2018 while driving over a bridge. Car will not currently start due to fuel system.
Fuel pump relay: Our Jeep Grand Cherokee has been hard to start for some time. It just turns over as normal but doesn't start. The fuel pump relay has supposedly been fixed but it is acting as before the relay repair. Since the relay recall has been 'fixed', I put in a new fuel pump. It did not fix the problem. Jeep needs to step up and fix these!

Having issues with previous recall R09. The problem has resurface again. Just took the vehicle for repairs. Are others having similar issues with this repair
I was driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee on the street, turning the corner at an intersection, the engine lost all power, turned off, and I lost control of the power steering and vehicle in general. I almost hit a pedestrian that was walking on the sidewalk. This was a city street, the vehicle was in motion, and I was turning left. I have called the Jeep dealership repeatedly telling them about this symptom of my vehicle. I also have a problem with the vehicle not starting when try to turn it on, the engine will turn over repeatedly but not fire up. After several attempts, it sometimes will start. It is an intermittent issue. Other times I need to call a tow truck. I feel this is directly related to recall R09, even though this recall was performed on my vehicle, these are the same symptoms described, so I think the problem is back even after the recall. It is a safety issue and needs to be addressed by Chrysler/Jeep. I have contacted the dealership at river oaks Jeep/Chrysler on 4807 kirby drive in houston tx, 77098, and paid for a diagnostic. They initially were not able to identify the problem. After a couple days they said the fuel pump was not holding pressure and would cost $2000 to replace. I can not afford that right now, and I declined repairs. I called the headquarters for Chrysler/Jeep dealership and asked for them to pay for the repairs as this is a safety issue and a malfunctioning part related to a recall, and they refused. This is documented under case #34923344. I feel Chrysler Jeep should either replace my fuel pump relay again, even after it was already done once under recall R09, or they should pay to replace the entire fuel pump, as they are not able to diagnose the source of the problem with 100% certainty. This is a safety issue related to the engineering of their vehicles.
Engine stalls without warning while driving. No warning lights or check engine lights are present. Car refuses to start immediately after, but after repeated tries it starts again. Fuel pump relay of the tipm was replaced 30K miles ago by safety recall but problem has resurfaced.
Please reference my previous complaint 11114071 and 11114079 for exact dates of failure for July 2018. The primary and secondary fuel pumps were both replaced and the Jeep was returned to me on 8/4/18. I drove it on 8/5/18 once and then twice in the morning on 8/6/18. It sat in the parking lot at my work from 8:30 to 12:30 pm on 08/6/18. At 12:30 pm, the exact same symptoms of starting failure were happening. It started with turnover then immediately died. Then turned on after a 2nd attempt. Then at the restaurant I went to at approximately 12: 55 pm, the Jeep completely failed to start. I have video recording of the failure and can produce that for reference. The vehicle is not starting and staying on consistently. The start results in immediately dying and then after a couple attempts like that, it eventually it just cranks and cranks until you shut off the vehicle. It's being towed a second time to the dealer service department. Additionally, a dome light in the front of the vehicle wouldn't shut off since it was returned to me on 8/4/18. It was never a problem before 8/4/18. This is a tipm problem and it needs to be recalled. The 3rd picture I've uploaded is a screen shot from the video I have of the vehicle not starting but cranking and cranking. The other two are captioned. I have this video and can send it.
Per my previous complaint (number 11114071) I stated my VIN was not included in Chrysler recall 15V-115. That was incorrect. My VIN was included in Chrysler recall 15V-115. And the recall was completed. Meaning: The fuel pump was already replaced. So my previous complaint with fuel pump failure and cranking is a persistent and unacceptable issue that is deductively reasoned to be due to tipm failure. This failure needs to be addressed by the NHTSA.
During the week of July 1st, 2018 the vehicle died while driving at 30 mph. During the week of July 8th it cranked without turnover multiple times in the am, eventually starting and also during that week of July 8th, 2018, once while driving it died while traveling at 30 mph. On July 16th, 2018 vehicle cranked without turnover multiple times in the am, eventually starting. On July 17th, 2018 it started in the am but in the evening, cranked multiple times with no turnover and would not start again. On July 18th, I went back to where the car was left the evening before to attempt starting again. It was cranking without starting multiple times that day and never started. Had to be towed to dealership for service on July 19th. Service department replaced the primary fuel pump on July 23rd, 2018 after parts came in. I picked up the vehicle on the evening of July 23rd, 2018. Approximately 6 hours after getting the vehicle, it cranked for at least 10 seconds, twice, then started. And the following evening approximately 5 pm, July 24th, 2018, it started and ran for about 5-10 seconds and died. Vehicle started on the next attempt and I took it back to the dealership service department at 5:30 pm on July 24, 2018. The dealer claims it cranked on July 25, 2018 in the morning and then continued to start throughout the day. I am going to go back to the dealership to request the other fuel pump get tested. I am very aware that there have been multiple recalls on this model's fuel pump system. Recalls 14V-530 and 15V-115 do not include my VIN number and should because it was manufactured during the dates of. And further, the center for auto safety's petition against the NHTSA dated on July 15, 2015 (80 fr 45578) (document number 2015-18672) against Chrysler for the tipm failure should be reconsidered!!
The vehicle continues to die within seconds when the start engine button is initially pushed. Frequently have to to push engine start button again w/O pressing brake to turn power completely off, then push engine start button again w/brake to obtain full power of vehicle. This problem has been reported to Jeep on several occasions and has occurred for a couple of years. I have completed all recalls on file hoping this problem would be addressed. However, it appears to be worsening this summer, where almost daily I have to attempt to restart my car to gain full power.
The gas pump is a damage to factory default. Please call me to explain the situaciton. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'
Multiple episodes of extended crank without start. Also several episodes of stalling without warning while driving - 1X in drive but another time on highway at night in traffic. All episodes have happened in 2017 staring August through 'now'. car has been to dealer service 4 X without resolution. Currently with dealer being operated with a "flight recorder" as they did experience problem but couldn't identify the mechanical source - they contacted "Chrysler" for advice. I'm lucky, I'm driving a loaner for 3 weeks now from my dealership.
Fuel pump relay recall. The fuel pump relay recall was performed on this vehicle by dealership. Recently, the vehicle begin having the same symptoms as in the recall. Vehicle would stop running after being cranked, would fail to crank, and would have extended cranking time. I observed no fuel pump sounds during no run/ no crank conditions. Ase certified shop diagnosed fault; repair was replacement of fuel pump relay installed during recall. Vehicle has had zero failure since this repair. This failure is as dangerous as original recall failure, and occurred within approximately 60,000 miles of recall. Shop manager stated this was second such failure his shop has fixed on already "fixed by recall" vehicles.
When you push the ignition button, the engine cranks but it won't start. It takes a few attempts before the vehicle actually starts. After it starts you start to drive it and the it stalls as you are driving it. This happens mostly when the engine is cold (mornings or after it hasn't been used for several hours). After researching it there is a fuel pump relay recall on same model and year as mine. The recall is for the fuel pump relay.. this is very dangerous when driving the hehe vehicle as it stalls at any given moment.
