2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee: fuel pump failure

Filed Oct 22, 2016 · Engine, Fuel system · 81,244 miles · PA

On sept.2, 2014 I had my 2011 jeep grand cherokee towed to the nearsest dealer, milford chrysler, milford, pa. I was driving the day before with family when the vehicle suddenly stalled in an entrance to a parking lot just avoiding an accident. Message center showed key not detectable. Several attempts later it turned over. To play it safe I returned home to exchange vehicles. It was making hissing sounds so I left it out of the garage. The next day, it was still making noises. I called for a tow to the dealer. I called chrysler and they advised me of a recall but that the engineers were still trying to determine why but that the tipm was malfunctioning. I was also told that a final recall would not come out for about 3 months! I had no choice but to get my vehicle repaired. They had to replace the battery, fuel pump, tipm for a total out of pocket cost of $2493.98. Chrysler eventually reimbursed me for the total amount. On november 20,2015 I went out and found that my blinkers did not work. In fact, when engaged, the fog lights blinked and or flashed. I took it to my original dealer, r.I. Suresky in goshen, new york. They ran a scan and found that it was caused by the tipm ! This makes tipm #2!. I called chrysler, the final verdict, it was not covered by the recall (fuel pump related only). The tech replaced the tipm yet again at an out of pocket cost to me of $1043.40. On october 21, 2016 the engine light came on. I have an appointment at suresky's on monday october 24 to run a diagnostic on it. Could it be tipm related? We'll see. I feel that chrysler owes me $1043.40 for having parts ( never available immediately by the way) that are defective and place people in very dangerous situations on the road.

Over the past three years my power windows slid down. One left rear a few years ago slid down as we were going down the road. Rt passenger side down about a year later. January 2nd my passenger side window did the same. I took it into the shop and mechanic said it was the regulator, it would be 300.00 to fix it, he said yep that's common in jeeps. I have a friend who has a 2002 jeep, same problem with all four.... I'm a single mother, single grandmother that cant spare that kind of money. Yesterday 04/14/2009 I walked out to my jeep to discover the window was down. Thought wow I don't remember leaving my window down because I have sound equipment I would hate to have stolen. It was chilly out that morning, tried to roll it up.... Guess what? Now all of my power windows are broken due the regulators. Fuel pump, and injectors are my problem too. Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!! Let me add the heater core to that. I love my jeep... I take good care of it, it looks brand new. The oil is changed with the best money can buy and on time every time if not sooner.

Fuel pump failures, first one failed at 35,000 miles, the second at 42,000 miles, and now the third at 71,000 miles. Towing charges, rental cars etc. Chrysler customer service would only quote the warranty was expired-12,000miles/or 12 months. This time my cost is $724.00 for a new pump, $200.00 for rental,and $68.00 for towing. Three fuel pumps in 71,000 miles is ridiculous and frustrating. No more chrysler products for me.

The o-rings in the fuel pump have apparently failed according to huffines jeep in plano, tx. They have told me that a technical service bulletin has been issued for the o-rings since 1999.
