NHTSA Complaint #11080312 — 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

THE CAR STALLED AND ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, DECELERATING AROUND A LEFT TURNING CURVE. LOST ACCELERATION CAPABILITY, POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (NO EMERGENCY FLASHERS). COULD BARELY CONTROL CAR AND ENDED DRIVING THROUGH CURVE, OFF THE ROAD, DOWN INTO SMALL RAVINE AND INTO FIELD. WERE FORTUNATE TO AVOID ROAD SIGNS AND TELEPHONE POLE. CAR RESTARTED AFTER PUTTING GEAR IN PARK. VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. NOT ABLE TO GET APPOINTMENT WITH JEEP DEALER FOR ANOTHER WEEK. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS COULD BE RELATED TO FAULTY TIPM. OUR SERVICE RECORDS INDICATED THIS JEEP DID RECEIVE CHRYSLER GROUP SAFETY RECALL P54 (NHTSA #14V530) TIPM INTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY REPLACEMENT, WHICH STATES IS A POTENTIAL CAUSE OF THE CAR LOSING POWER. SEEMS TO HAVE NOT PREVENTED THE MOVING CAR FROM LOSING POWER.
