    Vehicle had external fuel relay installed over a year ago by dealer. This vehicle had not experienced an issue with the fuel relay. Now vehicle is having the same issues - engine stopping for no reason, even while driving - as described in the complaints about the tipm. Very dangerous and the "fix" by fca, appears to not be a permanent fix.

    The recall for the tipm was issued in october 2014 (p54/nhtsa 14v-530) and the parts are still not available as of march 3, 2015. I need more of an update than, sorry we know your car has a safety issue, but we don't have the parts. If it's enough of a safety concern that they notify me each month of the failure to have inventory, perhaps they should save the postage and focus on purchasing the parts. I am tired of…
