My car has had 2 repairs for fuel pump relay issues. 2014 and 2020. recently, I noticed while driving my car will stall while accelerating on the highway. I had to pull over into emergency lane 3 times during 1 trip before, because the car stalled while driving. Just recently I noticed and took videos/pictures of the car going 40 mph but the RPM moving sporadically between 0-7000. It has always felt like a fuel pump issue but dodge servicers does not know whats going on. There was never a warning light until it stalled recently. Red lightning bolt popped up. I have pictures if that also.

With the initial incident with us as we were pulling into a roundabout & braking & turning to the left at some point and turning back to the right the engine stalls. All electrical was still working except for the engine and I smelled an odor of burning wire Seemingly coming from the center of the steering wheel. Shift into neutral hit the ignition and it restarts and everything‘s fine. After a couple times of this happening sporadically, we were notified there was a recall notice seemingly for this problem, but there was a wait while for the recall parts for the solution. With the subsequent occurrences there was no electrical smell, there’s no problem restarting it and there is no problem with any other electrical. Problem occurs with various levels of fuel. We had the recall work performed, and yet the problem still occurs, again, sporadically which makes it difficult to diagnose. The Dodge dealer service dept here, in Billings Montana, cannot seem to reproduce the problem. There are no error codes produced when it happens. It is becoming extremely dangerous. I wonder if anyone else has experienced that faint electrical smell like the first time coming possibly from the steering wheel. I think the recall was related to the fuel pump relay, but I think our problem has something to do with the wiring in the steering column. As I said, intermittently, the engine stalls upon braking with a slight turn to the left & then back to the right. It probably happens roughly once every three or four months and almost always any more pulling into a roundabout. Only once has it occurred other than entering a roundabout.

My cars fuel pump is being recalled which is causing starting issues and at times the car wont start. When driving the car it feels a bit of a lag or a loss in power. i have called for the recall parts to be fixed at the dealer for months now. they claim there is part issues or shipping issues on the parts. This an important part needs to be fixed and may cause more damage in the future to the engine if not fixed in a timely manner.

All current recalls have been performed on this vehicle. While making left and right hand turns after coasting down from a highway speed (55MPH or greater) the vehicle will stall. We will loose all power steering and brakes. No warning lights come on and everything appears normal except the engine is not running. Something in the fuel or electrical system is intermittently failing. I suspect it to be a "Dumb" device. Something that is told to turn on or off but there is no feedback to the computer to set a code when it fails. The vehicle is available for inspection at any time. This started occurring after one of the fuel pump relay recalls. It happens at random and is hard to duplicate, while we do have video of it, the dealer has been unable to duplicate it. The vehicle shows no codes, or anything wrong when it happens. Once the vehicle is stopped, shifted back into park, it will restart and run just fine. This has placed us in unsafe conditions in the middle of the opposing lane, in a turn, trying to restart the vehicle before another car comes around the turn. It is also hard to steer and stop a large SUV when power steering and brakes have been lost. There have been several close calls of getting the vehicle stopped prior to going off the road. The dealer has checked the vehicle over with no solution found for the issue. There has never been any warning lights associated with the vehicle stalling while driving. The vehicle does not know anything is wrong.

I had a fuel pump relay replaced in 2015, and have had a lot of small problems with the electrical system over the years. Once the vehicle passed 80,000 miles this year all kinds of things started happening. The cooling system went haywire and my auto repair shop had to replace the radiator. I've been experiencing problems with my vehicle hesitating to start like it is not getting fuel, and have trouble accelerating so I cannot pull out in heavy traffic unless there is a good break which is absolutely ridiculous having a hemi v8 engine! I've been towed twice this year when the vehicle would not start at all but then it ended up starting when it got to my auto repair shop or the dealer. I was not only embarrassed but wasted time and money. My mechanic did a lot of diagnostics and ruled out everything except the fuel pump relay. I did some research and learned about the recall so I went to the dealer and asked them to apply the fix. They hassled me and said they 'can not trust your mechanics' and made me pay for diagnostics and said there was no fix for the recall. They ended up finding another problem basically telling me my mechanics were wrong and charged me over $800 for a new PCM. They did install a new fuel pump relay at my insistence even though it was the original part and not a fixed part. It resolved the starting issue and I stopped getting any warning lights. The vehicle still didn't accelerate or handle properly and not even four months later and the same problem is happening again! The fuel pump relay is obviously failing again and I am not confident the PCM had a problem if I'm still getting the same issues. Could it be the tipm I keep reading about? The dealer didn't mention that. I'm afraid I am going to be stranded with children or worse that the vehicle is going to cut out while moving in traffic!! This is an extremely unreasonable safety risk! (recall related incident) ts
