NHTSA Complaint #10573496 — 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

BOUGHT A USED JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2011 W/ 19K MILES ON IT (IT WAS LEASED BEFORE). FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WITH 30K MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WOULD TURN OVER A LITTLE BIT BUT WOULD NOT START. DEALERSHIP SAID FUEL PUMP WAS BAD, RUNNING AFTER VEHICLE TURNED OF THEN DIDN'T GET POWER WHEN TURNING IT ON. DEALERSHIP REPLACED FUEL PUMP, WENT TO PICK IT UP FROM DEALERSHIP AND IT WOULDN'T START. SECOND TRIP (WITHIN 2-3 DAYS) TO DEALERSHIP IT STARTED UP. WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 4-5 WEEKS, THEN SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN. VEHICLE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START UP, SOUNDED THE EXACT SAME AS THE PRIOR ISSUE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TIPM, CAR WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 12 MONTHS. TWO WEEKS AGO, THE SAME ISSUE CAME ABOUT. CAR TURNING OVER BUT NOT STARTING. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY KEY FOB AND IT WORKED FOR 1 DAY, THEN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. NOW MY JEEP IS SITTING AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING TO THE FUEL PUMP AND NOW THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING ANOTHER FUEL PUMP. I HEARD TODAY THAT THEY FUEL PUMP IS REPLACED BUT STILL NOT GETTING POWER TO IT (TIPM PROBLEM AGAIN). CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE FOR AN OBVIOUSLY FAULTY PART THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS LAST TIME WHEN I BROUGHT MY JEEP TO THE DEALER I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE TO LET ME FATHER HEAR THE NOISE IT WAS MAKING. A DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIAN WALKED BY HEARING THE NOISE IT MADE AND ASKED, "IS IT A 2011?", I REPLIED, "YES", HE FOLLOWED UP BY SAYING THAT MODEL AND YEAR HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM, WHICH FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR WERE MOVING AND IT WENT OUT. YOU WOULD BE LEFT WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. CHRYSLER HAS MADE A PRODUCT THAT IS FAULTY AND REALIZES IT, YET THEY STILL CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PARTS. *TR
