TIPM Recall Coming
#11
Ours is in the shop for this right now. Left us stranded last night in the rain. Had it towed to a dealer 1 and 1/2 hours away from our home. Waiting for the call from the service department.

Got the call back, it is the TIPM, 963.04 installed. Service adviser is not aware of the above posted recall so I'm going to see what I can do on my end with Chrysler direct.

They sold 18,000 2011 Grand Cherokees in Canada ? That's a surprise.
It's still not showing up in my information or under the Canadian or Global recalls. I bet they're not ready.

All who had an issue should file, scroll to bottom of page. this is what it took the D2 owners to get the Gas splash back /new fuel tank issue resolved. But then we all had terrible rust below the filler neck that they didn't want to hear about, claimed it was "collateral" damage.

Thanks for the link, Mike.
I filled it out in about 5 minutes and filed it and got a confirmation back in about 3 minutes. It was a piece of cake. So easy in fact, it's hard to believe the U.S. government actually made something that easy. I was expecting a form way too long and questions way too difficult. What a pleasant surprise. :-)

No luck. We have 73k miles on ours and Chrysler said "too bad". But now that it's official, we will at least get our money back.

It is in the media....

Seems they are not including all the effected vehicles yet though. However I am hoping for my $100 deductable back.
This issue is part of the reason I did not get another D. I had the TIPM replaced just before they went on back order and when I got rid of it it was stalling while driving....

Probably doing the recall in phases, starting with the older ones, so they don't create a parts shortage. I'm hoping they are forced to replace the TIPM instead of being allowed to just rig an external fuel pump relay, since there have been allegations of problems other than just the fuel pump. If the TIPM has failed, then the external relay work-around won't work and they'll need to replace the TIPM, and the new TIPM may not require an external relay if they've beefed up the internal relay.

Mine would crank but not start on the first attempt every couple weeks, then weekly until recently it would not start at all unless I used the remote start button from outside the vehicle. The dealer installed an external relay harness yesterday for $300 out of pocket. I am out of factory warranty and this was not covered by the extended that I had bought? It was late when I picked it up last night so I figured I will look into it today and argue if I have a case. Should have just argued last night as it took 20 actual minutes for them to find a driver to bring my car up to the service area!
Code is 70790: fuel pump not being activated by TIMP
