The driver stated no warning light was illuminated. The driver stated he lost control of the vehicle and it steered to the right and crashed into multiple parked vehicles. The driver started the following day while driving 25 mph when the vehicle and the steering wheel seized. The contact stated her husband was attempting to start the ignition but it was a 'hard start'. The failure mileage was approximately 173,000. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called Covert Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (8107 Research Blvd, Austin, TX 78758, (512) 730-3300), South Point Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (5210 S IH 35 Frontage Rd, Austin, TX 78745, (512) 774-6306) and Sames Bastrop Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (1586 State Hwy 71, Cedar Creek, TX 78612: (512) 772-2227) and it was confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that while investigating the failure, she discovered that the VIN was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V813000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated she had experienced the failure multiple times. The contact stated she was able to start the vehicle after the third attempt. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that she was unable to start the vehicle. No one has been able to reproduce the problem.

No warning lights of any kind come on and there are no other symptoms of the proble before it occurs. I tried to get a second new replacement but was told that too many people were on the waiting list, and there weren't enough new parts to redo the work already done on my vehicle. No inspection of the component has been done.

Today alone, Augit started/stalled twice. This is not just a one time incident, the car has stalled at least 5 times since the replacement in June 2021. It has been dangerous when I am trying to enter a busy roadway and need the vehicle to go quickly so I can merge in to traffic. It is not very responsive when pressing my foot on the gas pedal, it bogs down first, and then it begins to respond. In my opinion, in addition to the stalling, the new relay has made my car run very sluggish. There are the same issues I was experiencing before the new relay pumb was replaced. You must wait a few minutes before you can restart the vehicle. You cannot immediately restart because the engine will just crank, but not turn over. This past week alone, my car has had three incidences when I start the car, the engine turns over, and then immediately stalls. I was fortunate that there were a few people who pushed my car off to the side of the road. I had once incident in June 2021 where the car stalled in the middle of an intersection and I was in serious danger of being hit by other vehicles travelling toward my car. The recall performed on the vehicle HAS NOT corrected the issue with the Fuel Pump Relay. In the July, the car began stalling for no reason again. For approxmimately 1 month, other than sluggishness, the car functioned normally. On JI scheduled an appointment with my local World Chrysler Dodge Jeep store to have the recall performed.

My vehicle has been recalled, I believe, twice for the Fuel Pump Relay (Campaigns R09 or P54). The failure mileage was approximately 148,000. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V634000 (Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall and referred the contact to NHTSA. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the mechanic. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with alternator failure and the computer system's wires were burned out. Additionally, the windshield wiper was inadvertently activated, the doors would not lock, and a burning odor was detected coming from under the hood of the vehicle. The contact stated that while driving at 40 - 45 mph, the battery warning light was illuminated and other unknown warning lights would illuminate on and off.
