| Description of the problem | While driving on a major highway in newington,va, my 2013 jeep grand cherokee laredo suddenly lost power. I lost acceleration, power steering and power brakes. This is the second time in a month that this vehicle lost power and reacted in this manner. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and two days later was repaired. This vehicle is under a v62 safety recall for a defective fuel pump relay. The repair was a temporary fix until jeep comes out with a permanent fix. In 2015 this vehicle was recalled under r09 for the same fuel pump relay problem. Dodge durango vehicles have the same problem. Fiat/chrysler/jeep corp. Has known about this defective fuel pump relay since 2011 and have yet to come up with a permanent fix. There are thousands of these vehicles on the road and they are all death traps. Please put some pressure on jeep corp. To fix this deadly defect in their vehicles. Peoples lives are at stake!! The worst part is that car dealerships can resell these used vehicles knowing there is an open safety recall that has not been permanently fixed. The uninformed consumer is buying a vehicle that will kill them. For god's sake do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
