UNEXPECTED STALL WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENED TWICE THIS WEEK MONDAY 4/25 WHILE TURNING AND 4/28/16 WHILE DRIVING IN A 45 MPH ROAD (GRAND RIVER, FARMINGTON HILLS). THIS TOUCH HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY SERVICED BY DEALER FOR RECALL NOTICE AND HAS NOT HELPED THE ISSUE AT ALL!

ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY USED JEEP, I WAS COMING TO A STOP ON A CITY STREET AND MY JEEP POWERED OFF COMPLETELY. AFTER TAKING THE JEEP IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FIXED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, WHICH WAS RECALLED ,AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. SINCE THEN MY JEEP HAS POWERED OFF 5 TIMES (ONCE WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY, TWICE WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY, ONCE WHILE MAKING A U-TURN UNDER THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE ON A CITY STREET) EACH TIME WHILE BRAKING. I'VE HAD NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING EACH TIME.

I ENGAGED THE FACTORY INSTALLED REMOTE START IN SIDE MY GARAGE. WITHIN 3 MINUTES THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE ORIGINATED JUST IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT UNDER THE HOOD. I PRESSED THE START BUTTON IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR OFF OF AUXILIARY. FLAMES ENGULFED THE ENGINE AND MY HOUSE.

UNEXPECTED ENGINE STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING.

UNEXPECTED ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME EXPERIENCING UNEXPECTED STALL OUT WHILE DRIVE AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED.

ON THE FIRST OF MARCH, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE ABOUT TO START THEIR DAY IN THE USUAL WAY. SHE OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR AND USED HER KEY FOB TO REMOTE START OUR 2012 JEEP GC LIMITED ( AROUND 42K MILES) ( FACTORY INSTALLED REMOTE STARTER) SHE WALKED AWAY FOR LESS THAN 4 MINUTES AND RETURNED TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF JEEP. SHE CALLED FOR ME, AND PUSHED THE AUX BUTTON TO BE SURE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. I CAME RUNNING AND DESPITE MY ATTEMPTS TO OPEN THE HOOD AND BEAT BACK WHAT QUICKLY ESCALATED INTO OPEN FLAMES I RETREATED TO ENSURE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND TO BE SURE THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WERE CALLED. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE SOME POTENTIAL FUEL FOR THE FIRE BY REMOVING OUR SECOND CAR FROM THE GARAGE (ALSO A CHRYSLER) AND SECURING THE DOOR BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND GARAGE....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE OR WHILE IDLING. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START OCCASIONALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V115000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) WAS RECEIVED IN APRIL OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WHILE DECELERATING. ALL POWER IS LOST AND VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER OR BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART WHEN PUT BACK INTO PARK AFTER DRIFTING TO A STOP. THIS IS A RANDOM PROBLEM THAT OCCURS 1-2 TIMES EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS ON AVERAGE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO JEEP AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES BEING GENERATED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS HAZARD AND I HAVE SIMPLY BEEN LUCKY I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT YET AS A RESULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CAP MIGHT HAVE FAILED OR THE CONTACT MIGHT HAVE REFUELED THE VEHICLE WITH THE INACCURATE FUEL TYPE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

SUDDEN STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH (ON TELEGRAPH ROAD, REDFORD, MI AREA- CITY STREET). THIS HAS OCCURRED ONCE AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE.

IN THE LAST 2 DAYS, MY 2012 GRAND CHEROKEE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING TWICE. ON 10/29/2015 EXITING THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THE SECOND TIME WAS THE FOLLOWING DAY 10/30/2015 WITH MY WIFE DRIVING BY HERSELF. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS. I PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS ALL STILL WORKED. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE WITH NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING. ONCE STOPPED I COULD PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT AGAIN WITHOUT ISSUE.

VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF DURING RIGHT TURN IN BUSY INTERSECTION WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. UNABLE TO TURN OR CONTROL VEHICLE. ALSO THE BRAKE ON LIGHTS COME ON IN THE CONSUL DURING NORMAL OPERATION. BASED ON OTHER JEEP MODEL RECALLS, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THE TIPM-7 MODULE. THE VEHICLE IS A GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLANDER 4WD. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND HAS NOT HAD ANOTHER FAILURE, HOWEVER, THIS IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION WHEN THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE DIES WHILE IN MOTION IN ANY ROAD CONDITION. MAYBE RELATED TO RECALLS P54.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V115000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V115000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.

1-AFTER QUICKLY STOPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO COLLECT MAIL, I TRIED TO GO BACK INTO THE ROAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING BUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE. I ENDED UP CROSSING INTO THE OTHER SIDE, GOING INTO THE DITCH AND HITTING A SNOW BANK. DUE TO THE VERY SLOW SPEED (I WAS SPEEDING FROM THE PARKED POSITION) AND TO THE LUCK THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS COMING ON THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, NO HARM WAS DONE. DEALERSHIP NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. 2- I HAVE HAD TWO SAFETY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED ON A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. FOR ONE OF THEM, MY CAR IS AT RISK OF FIRE UNDER THE HOOD, AND FOR THE OTHER ONE, THERE COULD BE ENGINE STALL AND CRASH. JEEP HAS INFORMED OF BOTH, BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE MY...

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ABOVE VEHICLE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO SEAVIEW JEEP IN OCEAN NJ I WAS ADVISED THAT THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT IS SEPTEMBER 15. MY CONCERN IS THAT YOUR RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT "AN INTERMITTENT OR FAILED FUEL PUMP RELAY COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER (800-992-1997) I WAS ADVISED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE THAT THE CAR WAS "MORE LIKELY NOT TO START" AND "YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE SERVICE SCHEDULE OF THE DEALERSHIP". MY QUESTION/CONCERN/COMPLAINT IS THAT HOW CAN YOU SEND OUT A RECALL THAT CLEARLY STATES THE ENGINE COULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING YET MAKE SOMEONE WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THE APPOINTMENT. MY EXPECTATION WOULD BE THAT FOR A SAFETY CONCERN SUCH AS THIS I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THE RECALL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED. THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO EMIT SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,900.

THIS ENGINE IN THIS VEHICLE MISSES FROM TIME TO TIME. I'VE TOLD MY DEALER EACH OF THE LAST 3 TIMES I BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE OR FOR RECALLS. THEY HAVE RESET THE COMPUTER AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND SAY THAT IF RUNS FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE ON A LONGER TRIP AND IT STARTED MISSING DURING A LATE NIGHT DRIVE TO VIRGINIA. THE MISSING WAS SO BAD I WAS LOOSING POWER. I AM AWARE OF THE FUEL PUMP RECALL THAT WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL, BUT ACCORDING TO MY DEALER THE PARTS ARE JUST BECOMING AVAILABLE NOW. I AM ON A WAIT LIST WITH NO DEFINITE DATE TO WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH I BELIEVE I HAVE SYMPTOMS OF A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND EVEN MORE AFRAID TO HAVE MY CHILDREN OR MY WIFE DRIVE IT. I AM...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED SOME SERVICE UPDATES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

I HAVE RECEIVED THE #R09 15V-115 FUEL PUMP RELAY NOTICE AND CONTACTED DEALER, PARTS STILL UNAVAILABLE. EXCEEDS A REASONABLE AMOUNT FOR TIME FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET DETERMINED A SOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE DELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FAILS TO START.

THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ITS SISTER PRODUCT, 2012-2013 JEEP WRANGLER, WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM - REFERENCE THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 13V234000. THE SAME DESIGN FLAW EXISTS IN THE 2012-2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND THESE MODELS ALSO NEED TO BE RECALLED. PROBLEM: THE POWER STEERING RETURN LINE CONTACTS AND WEARS A HOLE IN THE ALUMINUM TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINE. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT OR OBVIOUS LOW FLUID LEVELS, SO AN OWNER MAY NOT HAVE ANY WAY TO KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENS. RISK: SUCH A CONDITION CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID WITHOUT THE OWNER'S KNOWLEDGE, WHICH MAY CAUSE TRANSMISSION DAMAGE AND LOSS OF FUNCTION. IN MY CASE, THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR OBVIOUS LOW FLUID LEVELS. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL A REGULARLY SCHEDULED CHECK UP. I AM UNSURE OF WHETHER THERE IS ANY UNDETECTED DAMAGE, BUT...

AROUND MAY 1, 2015 RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE WARNING THAT DEFECTIVE TIPM COULD CAUSE A CRASH W/O WARNING. CONTACTED JEEP TO SCHEDULE REPAIR. TOLD NO PARTS AVAILABLE. RELUCTANT TO DRIVE VEHICLE THAT "MIGHT CRASH W/O WARNING. PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. HAVE EFFECTIVELY LOST USE OF VEHICLE FOR 10 WEEKS. JEEP SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE LOANER OR PAY FOR COMPARABLE RENTAL UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND REPAIR IS MADE. JEEP SHOULD EXTEND WARRANTY FOR THE MONTHS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THE PART REQUIRED WAS UNAVAILABLE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER AND WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE AIR CONDITIONING AND RADIO WENT OFF. THE CONTACT LOST THE STEERING AND ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED USING PARTS KNOWN TO BE INCLUDED UNDER AN RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

WILL NOT TURN OVER OR START. BOUGHT THIS USED WITH 26500 MILES LESS THAN A MONTH AGO AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD IT TO ME NEVER REPORTED ANY RECALLS TO THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS SIX RECALLS TO DATE AND JEEP IS SAYING THEY HAVE NO PERMANENT REPLACEMENT PARTS.

I HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH STARTING MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE V8 OVERLAND. THE JEEP WILL START BUT WILL STALL RIGHT AWAY. SOMETIMES IF YOU PUT THE JEEP IN GEAR QUICKLY IT WILL STALL IN GEAR ALSO. MOST OF THE TIME IT STALLS RIGHT AFTER STARTING. I HAVE TO SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND PRESS THE START BUTTON AGAIN TO GET IT STARTED. I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP AT THE DEALERSHIP (COLORADO CHRYSLER JEEP) MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS AND THE "RESOLUTION" FOR THE DEALERSHIP IS THAT THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. ON 4/10/15 THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT STALLED ON THEM AND THEY REPLACED A SWITCH IG 08053059. RECEIVED THE JEEP BACK AND IT STALLED THE NEXT DAY. CALLED COLORADO CHRYSLER JEEP BACK AND THEY SAID THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE TO GET AN ELECTRICIAN IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THAT WOULD...

ON MAY 19, 2015 CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT (TIPM) SAFETY RECALL R09/NTHSA14V-115. SERVICE MANAGER STATED TO ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX (TIPM) PRESENT TIME BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE PART. SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED TO ME THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. GAVE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MY CELL PHONE NUMBER AND ASKED TO BE CONTACTED (ASAP) ABOUT RECALL PART (TIPM). I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE BY OUR GOVERNMENT TO BUY BACK MY 2012 JEEP. THIS IS THE (4TH) SAFETY RECALL I HAVE HAD ON THIS JEEP. DEALER HAS NOT FIXED RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF UNSAFE JUNK COMING OUT OF FIAT/CHRYSLER. ALL CONSUMERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF UNSAFE JUNK BEING PUT IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. WE IN AMERICA DESERVE BETTER RESPECT FROM ALL AUTOMAKERS. I THINK MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL COME OUT OF RUSSIA!!!!!...

ABRUPTLY STALLING WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL POWER, REQUIRING TO GET OFF THE ROAD, PLACE IN PARK AND RE-START. RE STARTS WITHOUT HESITATION. INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED 5 DIFFERENT DATES/TIMES AND THE DEALER HAS NO FIX STATING THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. MOST RECENT DATE 06/05/2015

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...

I RETURNED MY SINGLE AXEL MOTORCYCLE TRAILER TO THE GRAVEL STORAGE LOT AND BACKED IT INTO IT'S SPACE. WITH THE ENGINE IDLING I PUT IT IN PARK, EXITED THE VEHICLE AND DISCONNECTED THE TRAILER FROM THE VEHICLE. I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE TO IDLE IT FORWARD A COUPLE FEET TO ALLOW CLEARANCE FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE TRAILER HITCH FROM THE RECEIVER. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. IMMEDIATELY UPON BEING PUT IN DRIVE THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO OVER 5,000 RPMS AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. I TRIED TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK BUT HIT REVERSE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH BACKWARDS. I CONTINUED TO PUSH THE TRANSMISSION FORWARD INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. ALL THIS OCCURRED WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE. THE INCIDENT LASTED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR SECONDS. THE REAR TIRES SPUN IN THE GRAVEL CREATING...

VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO DEALER ON 3/24/15 FOR STALLING ISSUES AND OTHER SAFETY RECALLS. CAR HAD NOT STARTED ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS UP UNTIL 3/24/25. I WAS TOLD THE KEY FOB BATTERIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT MAY FIX THE ISSUE. I PAID TO HAVE BOTH BATTERIES REPLACED. ON 5/4/15 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE NOT STARTING ISSUE HAD BECOME MORE EXTREME. IT OCCURRED 8 TIMES SINCE THE 3/24/15 SERVICE AND ON ONE OCCASION IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THERE WAS AN EXTREME DELAY AND SUDDENLY THE CAR REACTED AND LURCHED FORWARD. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD EVER DONE THIS. ADDITIONALLY, ON ONE OCCASION OF NOT STARTING IT CONTINUED TO CHUG INSTEAD OF JUST NOT REACTING. DEALER ADVISED AGAIN THAT ONE OF THE KEY FOBS NEEDED TO HAVE A BATTERY REPLACED (BOTH WERE REPLACED...

THE DEALER COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.

THE CODES THAT WERE SET SAID THE ENGINE HAD A MISFIRE AND THE LEFT HEAD WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON THE ENGINE. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 3.6 LITER V-6 PENTASTAR ENGINES. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER SAID THIS PROBLEM ONLY EXISTED IN HALF OF 1% OF THIS TYPE OF ENGINE.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. WHEN STARTED, IDLED VERY ROUGH AND STALLED AGAIN. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER INDICATED FAILURE IN FUEL PUMP RELAY. REPAIR INVOLVES DISABLING OF FUEL PUMP RELAY IN TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND INSTALLING EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY. FAILURE ALSO RESULTED IN FAILURE OF VALVE SPRING. THE REPAIR REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP IS IDENTICAL TO THE REPAIR OUTLINED IN CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL P54/NHTSA 14V-530, WHICH PER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE REP IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO 2011 VEHICLES AND NOT 2012 VEHICLES. THIS FUEL PUMP FAILURE AFFECTS MORE VEHICLES THAN OUTLINED BY ORIGINAL RECALL. *TR

THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD START AGAIN AFTER TEN MINUTES OR SO. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE DEALER SAYS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AND CAN'T FIX IT. THE INTERNET HAS INFORMATION INDICATING THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. APPARENTLY, IT COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TIPM. *TR
