THERE WAS A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND A BURNING SMELL. TOOK THE CAR INTO BE REPAIRED AND THEY INFORMED ME THE CAR NEEDED AN ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT.

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 TO BE ADDRESSED WHEN YOU CLEARLY STATE A CRASH COULD OCCUR PLEASE ADVISE HOW THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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 AMAZED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD I BELIEVE 5 RECALLS AND STILL FIAT CHRYSLER GETS SO MUCH TIME TO REACT AND REPAIR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE HOPED OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE HELD THE NEW ITALIAN/FIAT OWNERS OF CHRYSLER TO A HIRING STANDARD. FIATS REPUTATION FOR LOW QUALITY CARS WAS SO BAD THAT THEY HAD TO PULL OUR OF THE US AND NOW THEY ARE BACK. WHY ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING CARS WITH DEFECTS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND THEN ALLOWED TO HAVE MONTHS AND MONTHS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THEM?

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STARTED PULSATING AND THEN TURNED OFF. WOULD THEN NOT START. ENDED UP BEING A TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILURE WHICH SHUT POWER OFF TO THE FUEL PUMP. CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL BUT THEIR "FIX" DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ADEQUATE. INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE TIPM WITH AN IMPROVED DESIGN, THEY HAVE DEVELOPED A "BAND-AID" FIX OF BYPASSING THE INTERNAL TIPM RELAY.
