    I have had a problem with my car stalling randomly since the day i bought it brand new off the lot. I have been complaining to the dealership for 8 years now and they have never once offered to fix it. They kept telling me nothing was wrong with my car. The last time i took my car in for randomly stalling (while on the freeway), my warrenty has just expired and then they told me i had to replace my entire fuel pump…

    My grand cherokee has stalled several dozen times over the past few years and the dealer can't fix it. The car stalls when slowing to a stop or turning through an intersection but we can't duplicate the problem at the service center. The dealer kept the car for nearly a month trying to duplicate the problem but could not, but i have kept records over the past year of all stalls and the conditions and the only…

    Vehicle has had starting problems and stalling problems on numerous occasions since december 2019. I believe these are related to the recall issued on this vehicle last december 2019. Complaint is the chrysler corporation is unwilling to make a temporary fix as promised until the "vehicle is totally dead." stalling on the highway in the middle of rush hour is a safety issue/hazard. Most recent incident:…

    Email 2 of 2 here are my proposed solutions: #1 corporate pays the dealership to fix the recall problem with the fuel pump relay issue now with the current parts they have and then the dealer will fix it again when you get the correct recall parts in. You as chrysler can sort it out with the dealer and i as the customer am not asked to pay for a recall. #2 if my car is not able to be repaired until the recall parts…

    Engine stalled while in motion on us highway 101 on 11/7/19; fortunately no crash occurred. We took into mechanic at jeep santa maria; they had it all week from 11/8/19 to 11/15/19 and said it was fine. It appears this was caused by a faulty part that was installed pursuant to a previous recall that fca has been investigating since 2018. We are anxious to have this open nhtsa campaign number:19v813000 resolved asap.

    When the car is stationary it will not start when the button is pushed. The car shudders and the computer freezes. It can only start when the key is used in place of the push button. It seems as if the starter is not relaying to the fuel pump. This car underwent a big recall in march of 2017. The fuel pump, fuse box, battery and alternator were replaced. It was at the dealers for three weeks. The jeep broke down and…

Now it won't shift gears without shutting off, it isn't getting any fuel to it at all even though there is fuel in the gas tank. I went to get gas because my gas light came on.

    Periodically, the vehicle stalls immediately after starting. I then have to keep pushing the start/run button until the car switches to off and then try to restart the car again. This goes on 5 or 6 times until it stays running. I have tried versions of pumping the gas (before and during). It still stalls. I am using today's date, but this has been going on for months.
