NHTSA Complaint #11515339 — 2021 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

Traveling in my Jeep Grand Cherokee L 2021 with family from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to San Marcos along 130 outside of Austin and fuel pump went out (this was recently diagnosed via phone by a Jeep mechanic at Covert Jeep in Austin 4/3/23) causing engine to fail at 85 miles an hour with no warning. Forcing me to navigate through traffic and attempt to get to the shoulder with cars, trucks, and 18 wheelers traveling upwards of 85 miles an hour. Also, was told the fuel pump for my vehicle was on back order with about 150 people waiting for this part (leading me to think a recall should be issued to have this part looked at). Secondly, as I was waiting the woman in front of me asked if it was my fuel pump and that her went out on the Jeep of the same body style. I replied I wasn't sure, because at the time I wasn't sure (Friday 3/31/23).
