| Description of the problem | My jeep had the fuel pump relay changed to an external type as part of previous recall nhtsa 15v-115. I'm not sure of the date as it was done prior to us buying the vehicle. The new external relay started to fail in july 2017. In heat soaked conditions, the relay would fail to activate. The only time this occurred was during engine start while being stationary in a parking lot. The engine would start then stall within five seconds. I replaced the relay and tested the old one. When the old relay is warm, i verified that it doesn't activate 100% of the time. The relay part number is g8jn-1c6t-f-r-dc12. We never had a failure when the vehicle was in motion. I'm submitting this complaint so nhtsa has awareness of the relay that was installed. It is not a robust relay which may have other failure modes. |
