Description of the problem | I previously reported that this 2011 jeep grand cherokee (3. 6 pentastar engine) stalls without warning. The vehicle has stalled at least twice in august, numerous times in september, and already twice this month (october). What is more concerning is there is no check engine light the warns of the pending stall condition. Also, i have had the thermostat, lifters, tappets, rocker arms, cylinder head, spark plugs, and ignition coils replaced and problem seems to be getting worse. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (koons tysons corner). The dealer cannot read any active or stored codes for the stalling issue. Additionally, the shop foreman advised that it appeared to be the fuel pump. I ordered the $540. 00 fuel pump and had replaced on monday october 7, 2019 for an additional $630. 00. Ironically enough, the vehicle stalled going home and the fuel pump repair did not fix the issue. The mechanic and service advisor now say that i should replace the pcm and then the tipum if all else fails. This is an additional $3,000. 00 in estimated service that they cannot guarantee that will fix the issue. The most concerning thing is that chrysler will not be held accountable for this. I have also filed a complaint with fca, whom initially just closed the case. I then filed another one today and requested to speak with a case manager, which is pending (no faith at this point). It should also be noted that fca is aware of this issue as addressed in the recall: chrysler is recalling 188,723 2011 dodge durango and jeep grand cherokee suvs in the u. S. Because of a defective fuel-pump relay inside the power module that can cause the vehicles to "stall without warning." |
