Chrysler recall v62 safety recall for fuel pump relay is now over 6 months old. Still no parts made available to dealers to provide repair. Periodically cannot start vehicle due to lack of power to the fuel pump, so cannot drive vehicle safely with possibility engine could stop while driving. Cannot drive unsafe vehicle. When I contacted chrysler numerous times, no one can tell me when this will be remedied. Vehicle is parked since december. Have to borrow a car from son. The federal safety agency should force chrysler to declare this as mandatory recall. It affects over 520,000 vehicles. All those people are risking their lives and those of their families by driving a vehicle whose engine could stall while driving. A class-action lawsuit of chrysler may be necessary if the federal safety agency cannot force chrysler to deliver the remedy. If people die due to the delays and negligence, the federal safety agency and chrysler are both responsible. Sick and tired of this incompetence and dangerous delay. It doesn't seem to matter how many people complain to the federal safety agency or chrysler. Lives are at risk and no one is doing anything about it.

Vehicle would not start. Vehicle was towed to dealership and fuel pump relay was identified as the cause of the problem, recall exists and the fuel pump relay was replaced. However, fuel pump relay caused the battery to drain also necessitating replacement. Fca/mopar only authorized reimbursement of the fuel pump relay and not for the battery even though it was directly related and the dealership technician stated the same. Spoke with multiple reps from fca who could not provide any assistance. An oil change and systems diagnostic test was performed on the vehicle just before the fuel pump failure and no issues with the battery were identified. I was told the battery could not be replaced because I tried to start the vehicle...which seems incredulous to me as that is what most people do when they leave for work. How was I supposed to know the fuel pump relay needed to be replaced unless I tried to start the vehicle and it wouldn't turn over?

My alternator burnt up and ruined my computer in my jeep as well. I was driving my car and many of the lights on the dash board went out. My power steering also went out. The alternator was so hot, it crumbled and melted the casing. Chrysler will not admit to the alternator being faulty or needing to be replaced in the recall for the vehicle, stating it was not one of the alternators affected.

Began having issue with vehicle not starting on first push of "start" button, and vehicle starting then stalling. Received recall notice 19v‑813 which describes this same issue. Called local dealer (royal chrysler motors, owego, ny 13827) and asked if there was an interim solution because the recall notice says the remedy is not yet available. The dealer said they were aware of the recall, but no interim solution is available. Asked what would happen if my car would not start or quit and would not restart. The dealer did not have any suggestions. The recall notice says I could be reimbursed if I paid to have this specific issue repaired. It is a contradiction to say no remedy is available, but if I have applied a remedy it would be reimbursed. I am afraid of having the vehicle stall while driving and causing a crash. Please help get this resolved.
