| Description of the problem | Engine stalled while driving on interstate causing a near-accident. Vehicle was successfully restarted shortly thereafter, but after returning home and turning off vehicle, fuel pump continued to run. The following morning the vehicle would not start and had to be towed to chrysler/jeep dealership. Dealer repair involved replacing a defective "totally integrated power module" at a cost to me, the owner, of $1,200. This incident very closely mirrors media reports in late september, 2014, detailing similar incidents with the same vehicle. In at least one report (cbs-detroit; sept. 20, 2014; "chrysler recalls nearly 189,000 jeep grand cherokees, dodge durangos") chrysler claims their pending recall will cover suv's built from jan. 25, 2010 through july 20, 2011. My vehicle, exhibiting the exact same malfunctions, was manufactured in november, 2011. Clearly the recall should be expanded to capture more vehicles with faulty power modules. |
