| Description of the problem | While driving, my van would suddenly accelerate. It did this multiple times then it wouldn't start. After researching other complaints on this make and model we tried the fuel relay bypass. It fixed the problem for a while be eventually it stopped working. The fuel relay is the problem and needs to be recalled because there isn't a way to permanently fix the problem at this time. Dodge issued recalls for the durango and jeep grand cherokee for the same issue. |
