NHTSA Complaint #10722703 — 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

ON APRIL 27, 2015 I RECEIVED IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL #R09/NHTSA 14V-115 STATING THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP RELAY WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. IN OTHER WORDS A SERIOUS POSSIBLY DEADLY CRASH COULD OCCUR FOLLOWING THE SUDDEN SHUT DOWN OF THE ENGINE AND POWER SYSTEMS. TO DATE, JEEP/CHRYSLER/FCA REPEATEDLY HAS TOLD ME THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AND NO PROJECTED DATE FOR REPAIRS.THE DEALER WILL NOT PROVIDE A SAFE LOANER VEHICLE IN THE INTERIM. SO, I DRIVE A DEADLY VEHICLE (DEADLY FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS) FOR SOME INDETERMINATE PERIOD OF TIME. IF THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AS IT IS REPORTED TO BE, IT SHOULD BE PARKED AND THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER SHOULD PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE FIX OR AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE. THIS SITUATION IS ABSURD. HAVE WE NOT LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THE GM IGNITION SWITCH SITUATION? APPARENTLY NOT.
