2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee: won't start

Filed Jun 18, 2026 · Fuel system · WA

The check engine came on as I was driving to work the other morning, and when I got back in the car to head home for the night, my car wouldn't start at all. I have a failed High Pressure Fuel Pump system. I used my own OBD-II code reader, and got back code P0087. This issue is connected to the FCA Z46 recall issued in June 2022. The previous owner/dealership performed the service for this specific recall in May 2024 and was marked as complete. I became the current owner of this Jeep in October 2024, just 5 months after the recall was completed. I have personally driven this vehicle for only 20,000 miles since I took over ownership, which means that the new replacement parts covered under the Z46 recall failed at no more than 25,000 miles. This part is stated to last 100,000+ miles. Not 20-25k miles. However, Mopar states that recall parts are only covered for two years after the recall was completed. This puts the expiration for the 2 year part coverage at May 2026. It is currently June 2026. Just one month out of recall part warranty, and both Mopar and my local FCA approved dealership are refusing to honor the warranty and fix this issue for me for free, covered by the terms of the recall. My Jeep no longer starts at all. I got it towed back to my house so I could have it somewhere safe until I could figure out what to do next about this unexpected break down. Total cost out of pocket would range upward of $10,000 for a full HPFP replacement, including fuel pump module, fuel rails and all high pressure lines, fuel injectors and complete system clean. I'm just one month over the 2 year recall warrenty after recall was completed. And because of that, I'm looking at upwards of $10k for failed parts covered by an FCA safety recall. New parts only lasted 25 months and 20k miles. In no way should I be responsible for the cost of this repair that is obviously now considered a an unremedied recall.

Without warning the vehicle will not start, and displays that the TPMS system needs service, and that a rear turn signal light is out. The engine will attempt to turn over but will not start the vehicle. This has happened multiple times under 90,000 miles. On more than one occasion, after about a day of not starting, the vehicle will start again, after no fix action was taken.

Forward facing camera behind rearview mirror developed an internal fault, which triggered vehicle's communication bus to not function at all. Vehicle would not start and could not be jumpstarted. No interior lights or accessories functioned. Vehicle had to be towed and after diagnoses, the dealer disabled the forward facing camera to make my vehicle operable again, but without functionality of auto high beams and forward collision warning and forward collision active braking features. The forward facing camera impacts auto high beams, forward collision warning, and forward collision active braking functions, at minimum. Have not been able to obtain a replacement part due to either backorder or the dealer not sufficiently searching supply chain despite repeated inquiries.

Recall# w58 there is currently no fix for this. Our car stopped, will not start and had to be towed to the dealer which is where we found out about the recall. Even if there's no fix, shouldn't we the consumer been notified of a recall that poses a potential safety issue? I have no vehicle, with no fix and the chrysler refuses to provide a loaner vehicle. Our contacts with chrysler have yielded nothing but a promise for a case manager to call. Nothing. No vehicle, no fix, no loaner.

Parked the car on a rainy night post a 6 hour drive. 2.5 hours after the car was turned off, the alarm system and other electrical components began to go off intermittently, not in the typical alarm pattern. Key fob and lock would not respond. Car would not start but some electronic components continued to work, including uconnect. Finally stopped after 20 minutes. The car then shut down completely and would not start. Called aaa and they sent out the battery truck. Aaa battery voltmeter check revealed an initial read of 10.9 volts; then went to 0.9. Jump start would not take. Car completely dead except for power seats, which continued to work. Had to tow vehicle to dealership who ultimately determined that body control module had malfunctioned. Similar reports and a recall for this body control module same malfunction due to wiper blades on dry glass in 2011-2014 models.

One day when leaving a barbershop my wife tried to start our jeep and it would not crank. It would turn over, start for a second then turn off. After sitting for a while longer it started up and drove fine. This past sunday we were leaving a gas station to get on the interstate and in the middle of an intersection it shut off. All acceleration stopped and the jeep went into park and left us stuck in the middle of the intersection. Once we used the manual park release and got out of the intersection we let it sit for a little bit. My wife got in the driver seat and it started right up. We then drove it to an auto parts store and had the check engine light diagnosed as the neutral safety switch. I spoke with a local dealership and was told that that is 'not a part listed' in their parts catalog. This vehicle shut off and my pregnant wife could have been t-boned in the blink of an eye.

Vehicle drove fine but when turned off, the dash lights stayed illuminated. Wouldnt turn off even after a few hours. Next morning it wouldnt start and gave a full host of "service system immediately" prompts. Sounded like it would begin to turn over, but would shut off immediately. Started again after 8 hours but still had check engine light on. Code came out to be "lost contact with ecu"

Between 1/2 & 1/4 tank the vehicle will run out of fuel and stall due to the secondary transfer fuel pump failing to run to transfer the remaining fuel in the horseshoe shaped tank to the side where the main pump draws fuel from . This happens without warning and vehicle will not start until you add fuel to bring the level above 1/2 tank . Have had it to dealer twice for replacement and the pump fails again shortly after . This is also a safety concern as vehicle can stall during passing or while in heavy traffic situations . This is a poorly engineered system and at the very least the secondary fuel pump needs to be recalled and improved to stop these failures

I have put my jeep grand cherokee for a recall service (mfgr campaign#: cdjr s27, cdjr u65) recently, in which I been told by the service person that only software ware been updated for this recall service. Since then, the lcd display screen will not start to light up in some occasion when I turn on my car, the screen does not response for any touch at this movement, and it eventually light up after 3-5minutes and turns up the display to the normal. This problem happens every other days, and makes me very hesitate to backup my car whenever it happens, as I get used of the backup camera on the car. The problem never exist before the recent recall service. In the normal way, the screen shows the booting up display whenever I starts up my car, but now, for some occasion, the screen keeps in dead for 3-5 minutes after the engine has been start up.
