What 1,637 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

MY WIFE WAS STRANDED WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AND WILL NOT RESTART. MECHANIC MADE US AWARE HE CANNOT FIX AS THIS IS AN ISSUE UNDER AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER 2019. I CALLED A JEEP SERVICE CENTER WHO SAID THEY CANNOT APPLY THE RECALL WORK BECAUSE JEEP/FIAT HAVEN'T MADE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. MEANTIME WE NOW HAVE A JEEP WE STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR EVEN THOUGH IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THIS RECALL CAME OUT A YEAR AGO AND I AM TOLD ANOTHER YEAR COULD PASS BEFORE JEEP MAKES PARTS AVAILABLE TO SERVICE CENTERS. WHAT IN THE MEANTIME ARE IMPACTED JEEP OWNERS SUPPOSED TO DO, KEEP PAYING FOR VEHICLES THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN? TWO YEARS BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS WE HAD SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO REFUEL AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART, STRANDING US. OUR MECHANIC RULED OUT BAD GAS AND INDICATED THE TIPM HAS MALFUNCTIONED. RECALL 19V-813 ADDRESSES IT (JEEP'S RECALL FOR IT IS V62) BUT APPEARS ANOTHER YEAR WILL PASS BEFORE THE RECALL CAN BE DONE. THAT'S A YEAR AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. AGAIN, UNACCEPTABLE.

MY 2012JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL STALL AS I'M COMING TO A STOP. IT DOESN'T ALERT WITH ANY CODES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT IS NOW DOING THIS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE BODY SHOP INFORMED ME THAT A PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS ISSUE. IT STALLED TRINING ONTO A ON-RAMP, WHILE I WAS IN A ROUNDABOUT, AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. IT IS HAPPENING AT DECELERATION. NO CODE IS SENT ANY TIME IT STALLS. THE MUSIC IS TILL PLAYING, ALL LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. I KNOW IT HAS STALLED BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING IS OUT AND ENGINE IS OFF. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL PRESS THE BREAK AND STARTED BUTTON TO MAKE IT GO AGAIN. TOTALLY NOT SAFE WHILE IN A ROUNDABOUT LET ALONE ANYTIME.

SAFETY RECALL V62 THE FUEL PUMP RELAY CAN FAIL AND THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. THE PART TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN UNAVAILABLE SINCE NOVEMBER 2019. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE AND THERE IS NO SENSE OF URGENCY IN GETTING A REPLACEMENT PART TO FIX IT.

NHTSA ODI 11361866

NOV 14,2019, RECALL V62 [19V-813] WAS ANNOUNCED. IT IS 11 MONTHS LATER, WITH STILL NO REMEDY FROM THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AS IT COULD "FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE CAN RESULT IN A STALL CONDITION IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR A NO-START CONDITION IF NOT RUNNING. - A VEHICLE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING."... WHEN WILL THE MANUFACTURER COMPLETE THE RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT OR WORSE...?

NHTSA ODI 11361521

THIS VEHICLE HAS A CURRENT SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. I'M SENDING THIS COMPLIANT BECAME I STRONGLY BELIEVE BASED ON INTERACTIONS WITH OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT FIAT CHRYSLER IS PURPOSELY DELAYING REPAIRS TO SAVE MONEY. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A YEAR FOR PARTS AND THE CURRENT STATUS IS UNKNOWN WHEN OR IF IT WILL BE REPAIRED AND THIS VEHICLE IS SEVERELY AFFECTED IN STARTING BY THE FAULTY RELAY AND TIPM MODEL THAT IT'S INSTALLED ONE. THIS PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER A PREVIOUS RECALL THAT FAILED TO FIX IT. AFTER THIS MANY YEARS, THE FACT CHRYSLER CAN'T PROVIDE A HARD DATE FOR THE REPAIRS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY AREN'T GONG TO. THE DEALERSHIP BLAMES COVID SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE ON EVERYTHING, BUT THIS WAS ONGOING LONG BEFORE COVID.

NHTSA ODI 11361339

THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON MY JEEP, I WAS NOTIFIED OF OCTOBER OF 2019. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER OF 2020, AND THERE IS NO RESOLUTION FOR THIS RECALL. MY TRUCK HAS HAD TROUBLE STARTING SEVERAL OCCASIONS. MANY OF THOSE TIMES I WAS LEFT STRANDED. IT EVENTUALLY WILL START AGAIN, SO FAR, BUT ONE DAY IT WILL NOT AND IT IS DUE TO THIS RECALL. THE TIPM NEEDS REPLACING AND IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE JOB. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN GOING ON A LONG TIME WITH NO REMEDY FOR IT....MY FAMILY SAFETY WHY IS IT NOT MADE AVAILABLE YET.... SINCE IT CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT

NHTSA ODI 11355477

CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A SAFETY RECALL REMEDY IN A TIMELY FASHION AND SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY NOW! THEY RECALLED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (19V-813 OR V62) ON NOVEMBER 19, 2019 AND HAVE YET TO OFFER A REMEDY. THEY INSTALLED AN EXTERNAL RELY ON MY VEHICLE SEVERAL YEARS AGO DURING THE FIRST RECALL AND THIS EXTERNAL RELAY HAS ALREADY FAILED ONCE LEAVING ME STRANDED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS DEFECTIVE PART PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO PROVIDE AN ACCEPTABLE REMEDY IN A TIMELY FASHION. OWNERS HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING FOR OVER TEN MONTHS FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL AND HAVE RECEIVED NO FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM CHRYSLER.

MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OCCASIONALLY WON'T START. IT HAS TO STAND FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN STARTS. THIS HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL V62. (FUEL PUMP RELAY). I HAVE HAD THE RELAY REPLACED 3 TIMES, BUT NOT THE ORIGINAL AS SEEMINGLY IT IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CAR HAS NEVER STALLED OR ACTED STRANGELY ONCE GOING. THE AGENT HAS FITTED ANOTHER RELAY, BUT NOW SAYS THAT THEY HAVE TO INSTALL A WCM, ELV AND KEYS. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE AND SHOWED UP SOME ERRORS AFTER PUTTING IN THE LAST RELAY. WHEN WILL THE CORRECT RELAYS BE MANUFACTURED, AS I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO GREAT EXPENSE REPLACING OTHER PARTS IF IT IS STILL A RELAY ISSUE?

I WAS PASSING A SLOW MOVING TRUCK ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN MY JEEP LOST POWER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE JEEP HAS HAD A NO START PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT 5 YEARS AGO. IT HAS BEEN IN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION WHEN STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ALL ONLINE RESEARCH POINTS TO A DEFECTIVE TIPM AND THERE ARE RELATED RECALLS. THE CURRENT OPEN SAFETY RECALL IS NUMBER V62 WITH FCA FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WHICH IS PART OF THE TIPM. THE LOSS OF POWER IS ONE ISSUE THAT CAN BE CAUSED BY THE FAULTY TIPM, AS WELL AS THE NO START PROBLEM MY JEEP HAS HAD THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE OWNED IT. I CONTACTED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND OPENED A CASE, INFORMING THEM THAT I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION DUE TO THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH AN OPEN RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT NOTIFY ME WHEN A FIX WAS AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUE ALMOST A YEAR AGO AND INVOLVES LIFE SAFETY. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT ALMOST KILLED ME 2 DAYS AGO BECAUSE FCA REFUSES TO FIX A DEFECTIVE PART FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

MY CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH START. BUT I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THE JEEP TO STALL AND CRASH WHILE THE IN DRIVING. I AM RISKING THE LIVES AND THE LIFE OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS EACH TIME I DRIVE THIS JEEP. THIS FULE PUMP RELAY SWITCH RECALL (V62) (NHTSA 19V-813) WAS ISSUED BACK IN NOVEMBER 2019. MY COMMUNICATIONS WITH KOONS CHRYSLER IN TYSONS CORNER VIRGINIA AND MOPAR HAVE NOT PRODUCED POSITIVE RESULT. THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE WITH A DATE FOR RESOLUTION. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION, SO I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION. I PRAY EACH TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE THAT ME, AND MY PASSENGERS MAKE IT TO AND FROM OUR DESTINATIONS SAFELY. PLEASE HELP ME

I HAVE HAD SEVERE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING WHICH PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A RECALL INTENDED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION YET. THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AND I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO BUY A NEW CAR RIGHT NOW. WHAT DO I DO? (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

ON NOVEMBER 21, 2019 MOPAR ISSUED A FUEL PUMP RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH MY FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THEY REPLACED IT WITH THE DEFECTIVE MODEL PART BECAUSE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A REMEDY TO THE RECALL ISSUED. I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN. A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. AS A CONSUMER I NEED AN UPDATE AS WHEN AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE, FOR THE SAFETY AND RESALE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS ALSO, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO KNOW WHAT SORT OF TIME FRAME MANUFACTURERS ARE EXPECTED TO RELEASE A REMEDY FOR A RECALLED PART AFTER ISSUING THE NOTICE.

NHTSA ODI 11339691

I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL #19V-813 IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. THE RECALL WARNS OF AN ENGINE STALL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. WE LIVE IN A REMOTE AREA AND CANNOT RISK DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE CAR FOR OVER FOUR MONTHS. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. THIS DELAY IS INTOLERABLE.
