    When trying to fuel our vehicle the handle constantly stops, thinking it is full. However, my work around is to turn the handle to 3'oclock and its able to fill the vehicle without incident, however, you have to hold the handle in that position the entire time. I have seen other people post about this too. Never had this issue with my 2015 jeep. Please not that this has been happening every since we purchased this…

    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…

    I had the original recall done for the fuel pump relay, after just over 2 years it stopped working and when it doesn't work the car can't start.

    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…

    Our 2017 grand jeep cherokee did not start this morning. The brake would not soften so we knew there was an issue. When we put our foot on the brake and pressed the start button nothing turned over but all the lights went on. This happened about 6 months ago and jeep replaced the battery. Obviously it is something else. It appears there is a fuel injection recall but no parts are available yet. When is the eta for…
