NHTSA Complaint #11257777 — 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR DUE TO THE LISTED RECALL IN WHICH CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE! THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSES BECAUSE I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP! I WAS IN MOTION GOING 55 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FAST LANE WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED FOR NO REASON. THE JEEP SERVICE TECH HAS LINKED IT BACK TO THE SAME FUEL RELAY AND THIS COULD BE A FATAL PROBLEM IF NOT FIXED. PLEASE I HAVE THREE KIDS AND MYSELF THAT COULD BE INJURED IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED ASAP!!*DT*JB CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 188,723 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS IN THE U.S. BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE POWER MODULE THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO "STALL WITHOUT WARNING," ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. THE SUVS ARE EQUIPPED WITH EITHER A 3.6-LITER V6 OR 5.7-LITER V8 ENGINE. "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE MAY FAIL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING," SAID NHTSA IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE PROBLEM. "A VEHICLE STALL INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH." THIS IS PART OF A GLOBAL RECALL OF AN ESTIMATED 230,760 CHRYSLER SUVS, INCLUDING 15,898 IN CANADA, 7,126 IN MEXICO AND 19,013 OUTSIDE THE NAFTA REGION. CHRYSLER SAID IT IS UNAWARE OF ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES LINKED TO THE RECALL. IT ADDED THAT NO OTHER VEHICLE FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, ARE AFFECTED BY THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY. THE AFFECTED SUVS WERE BUILT FROM JANUARY 5, 2010 TO JULY 20, 2011. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY WITH ONE EXTERNAL TO THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OCTOBER 24. OWNERS CAN CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.*DT*JB *DT
