Fuel pump relay sticks and causes battery to go dead. Filed complaint with chrysler in 2021. They explained there is an issue with the tipm in multiple vehicles with the same fuse relay box which could catch fire. My 2012 was not included because not enough complaints. Does not make sense. Ordered chryslers relay bypass kit from multiple outlets including oem chryler parts departments only to get cancelled due to availibility for only recalled vehicles. My vehicle shuts out randomly and will not start . The fuse box finally did start smokining at the fuel pump fuse #25. I had to order a complete tipm now because it damaged the circuit board.also,why is there no recall on the flexplates (flywheel) it shattered at the crankshaft bolts
