    Vehicle constantly stalls. Recall was performed for the fuel pump relay however this did not completely solve the problem as it still stalls randomly or won't start at all. Huge safety concern have been almost hit on the road from random stalls. Took it to my local mechanics and they say the fuel pump relay is burning out the fuses and i need to constantly check on them to make sure they're not burnt out. Took it to…

    The fuel pump relay is defective. This has already been recalled but the patch "fix" jeep does does not solve the problem completely and they know this. There is an issue with the computer which does not send correct signal to fuel pump. On start car will not start often because it is not receiving any fuel. I am afraid this cheap "fix" jeep came up with will cause the fuel to go out while driving. The biggest…

    While accelerating to merge onto the highway, the check engine light came on and i could not accelerate above approximately 45 mph or 3000 rpms. I let off the gas thinking the jeep would slow, but it didn't slow down. I was able to decelerate by braking (obviously). However, i was still unable to go faster than approximately 45 mph or 3000 rpms. I took it into the shop twice before because the check engine light…
