The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH, the vehicle started shuddering. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to drive to the nearby residence. The contact stated that her husband used an OBD reader to diagnose the vehicle and determined that cylinder #5 was misfiring. The contact stated that her husband replaced the fuel pump relay. The contact stated that after replacing the fuel pump relay, the OBD reader indicated that cylinder #7 was misfiring. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.
Prior to bringing our Grand Cherokee (GC) to the dealer to fix the apply the fix for the fuel pump relay recall, the GC stalled once every one or two months. After dealer applied the solution to the fuel pump relay recall, GC stalls almost daily and sometimes more than once daily. Usually, the GC starts just fine. During the first drive of the day, as we take our foot off the gas, the GC stalls. This is dangerous and life-threatening because the stall has occurred on busy streets and on the highway. ATTACHMENT: I took a look a the external relay that the dealer installed. I'm suspicious about the relay. I looked the relay part number online and found that the relay was commonly used for another application and not for fuel pumps. Please check the relay part number in the attachment and verify that this is the correct relay for this fuel pump relay recall.
During repair of thermostat, I was told my oil filter housing was cracked and leaking oil. The mechanic said this was a common problem with the V6 engine in Jeeps because the housing is made of plastic and sits on top of the engine where heat breaks down the plastic. Upon searching the web I found numerous instances of this complaint on various websites. I don't have oil dripping on the ground , but I worry where the oil is running to for instance a hot exhaust pipe. This repair is quite extensive from what I've read and at one point there was an issue getting the replacement part because of the number of failures of this housing. I'm guessing this was a cost cutting effort by Chrysler that's going to cost consumers in the end.

radiator, hoses, coolant issues
The vehicle engine stalls while driving. The electrical remains on, however the engine stalls. My safety is put in risk because this happens while driving on the highway and normal streets. I have taken it to the dealer (Glendale Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram 10070 Manchester Road, St. Louis, Mo. 63122 (3140 965-5100) they claimed to have never heard of this issue, but informed me there was a recall on the Fuel Pump Relay. They replaced, however the issue continues and they claim they cannot figure out the problem. I did receive a letter from FCA-Fiat Chrysler Automobiles regarding the recal-P54(NHTSA14V-530) or safety recall R09 (NHTSA 15V-115). The engine will re-start after about 15 minutes and drives fine until the next time it stalls, which has become more frequent. There is no warning when the engine will stall, it just stops running. This problem has been going on now for over a year with the stalling becoming more frequent.
I DROPPED OF MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROCKEE TO A MECHANIC TO INSPECT FOR AN OIL LEAK. THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED WHICH WAS CAUSING THE LEAK. THE MECHANIC STATED HE HAD REPLACED MORE OF THESE HOUSING BECAUSE THEY ARE PLASTIC AND WERE MADE TO THIN SO WHEN THE OIL FILTER OR COVER IS TIGHTENED DOWN AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED, THE HOUSING CRACKS. AFTER CONTACTING A DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE THE DEALER STATED THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 60,000 REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULDN'T BE IN ANYTIME SOON. I CONTACT CHRYSLER/JEEP WARRANTY AND THERE RESPONSE WAS THEY COMPLETED AN INVESTIGATION BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED YET. THEY WERE WORKING ON GETTING PARTS IN A TIMELY FASHION. IF THERE ARE 60,000 PROBLEMS OF THIS TYPE REPORTED FOR THIS ENGINE, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL
JEEP AND FCA REFUSE TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON MY JEEP. THEY CLAIM THEY ONLY GET ONE PART PER MONTH AND CANNOT FIX MY JEEP. I HAVE CALLED 5 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND FCA US CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. HOW IS THIS LEGAL? THEY WON'T EVEN TELL ME THE NAME OF THE PART SO I CAN REPLACE IT MYSELF. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TI GET IT REPLACED FOR HALF A YEAR.
MY COMPLAINT IS REGARDING NHTSA RECALL V62/NHTSA 19V-813 FOR MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR OVER A YEAR AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX. MY VEHICLE HAS CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND NOW DOES NOT START AT ALL. I HAVE A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE, FIX, OR SELL DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. MY ONLY DESIRE IS A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR AT LEAST A REFUND OF THE CURRENT VALUE. WE CONTACTED THE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINE AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THE COST WOULD BE TOO GREAT TO THE COMPANY. THESE VEHICLES ARE DANGEROUS AND THE FACT THAT THERE'S STILL NO FIX SHOULD BE VERY TROUBLING. NO ONE SHOULD BE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS KNOWN TO CUT OFF AT ANYTIME. PLEASE MODIFY THIS RECALL TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT OR REFUND FROM JEEP. IT'S GENUINELY THE ONLY SAFE THING TO DO. THANK YOU.

FUEL PUMP RELAY - MY CAR STALLS WHEN IT WANTS AND TAKES OFF REALLY FAST WHEN IT WANTS, AND STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO TRANSMISSION. - I AM TOLD THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION MY CAR IS SLIPPING GEARS
THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD TAPPING SOUND FROM ENGINE AT IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT WITH BAD LIFTERS. THE NEEDLE BEARINGS IN THE LIFTERS USED IN THIS ENGINE TEND TO FAIL. THE FAILURE CAUSES THE LIFTER BEARING TO SEIZE UP AND DAMAGE THE CAMSHAFT. HAD LIFTERS REPLACED TWO TIMES IN A 4 MONTH PERIOD. CAMSHAFT REPLACED ONE TIME. RESEARCH ON THE WEB SHOW SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF THIS SAME FAILURE IN HEMI 5.7L ENGINES. THE FAILURE CAN OCCUR ANYWHERE FROM 50,000 MILES TO OVER 100,000 MILES. THE COMMON CAUSE IS THE LIFTER BEARINGS FAILING AND DAMAGING THE CAMSHAFT. REPAIRS RANGE ANYWHERE FROM $3000-5000. THIS LEADS ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THE FAILURE IS DUE TO AN ENGINEERING DEFECT ON THE LIFTERS BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
