Fuel filler cap fell off... set code P0440

- Hanford, CA, USA

While returning home from vacation, the high pressure fuel pump on my vehicle failed. This happened while in heavy traffic traveling 70mph on I-95. This incident left myself, my husband, and my four month old infant at the time stranded on the I-95 shoulder in 90 degree heat for three hours. My husband was barely able to maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder after all power was lost and the car was billowing smoke. The problem was confirmed by the dealer. The dealer inspected and replaced the high pressure fuel pump and other fuel system components four months later but failed to inspect other engine components for damage related to the high pressure fuel pump failing. Because of the lack of thorough inspection, when the service person at the dealer started the engine again, the engine completely failed. The dealer and Jeep are refusing to honor the recall and repair my engine due to a recalled item failing. Prior to the high pressure fuel pump imploding and ripping shrapnel through the entire fuel system and engine, a yellow check engine light came on. While trying to find a safe place to pull over while traveling 70mph in heavy traffic on I-95, diesel began pouring out of the bottom of the vehicle, smoke started billowing out of the engine, a handful of warning lights flashed across the screen, and all power was lost to the car. This happened in less than approximately 5mins/10miles from the yellow check engine light initially appearing. Prior to this incident, there were no sounds or warning signs that there was something internally wrong with the engine.

My issue is with the Manufacture Recall #Z46, NHTSA Recall # 22V-406. This recall has been open since Jun 9, 2022 and involves the Fuel Pump (HPFP) failure. I have taken the vehicle to my local dealer and they advised there still is no remedy available to correct this recall. The vehicle I purchased used, had several open service tickets related to emissions which have been corrected and covered but this safety recall seems to be ignored by the manufacturer and could in fact cause a accident if it fails. The recall covers more than my vehicle and for the sake of my family and I would like it repaired before something happens. I feel the manufacturer has let this issue drop in hopes it will go away. I would like the NHTSA to follow-up on this recall and require them to fix the issue. Thank you.

I received a recall notice from Chrysler (Recall #Z46) on June 9, 2022. The NHTSA recall number is #22V-406. I also recently received another recall from Chrysler (Recall #66A). The NHTSA recall number for this recall is #23V-411. Both recalls indicate that failure of the defective part that has been recalled can result in the unexpected loss of power and a resulting crash without warning. Any resulting crash without warning presents a huge safety concern as it quite possibly could result in injury or death. To date I'm told the part for recall # Z46 is not available and the dealer will not repair Recall #66A until Recall #Z46 has been remedied. In light of the potential for injury or death resulting from the failure of the necessary repairs request that the NHTSA become proactive in forcing the manufacturer to remedy the problem(s) noted above ASAP.

22V-406 Recall issued June 9 2022. We-??ve tried to have fixed but parts unavailable. At what point is this untimely? It has been over a year which seems untimely to me. The safety issue indicates high pressure fuel pump ("HPFP") that could fail prematurely. A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.

As part of the Jeep Recall Z46 my vehicle is currently dead and sitting at the dealership. Dealership quoted over $15k to replace the entire fuel system. They said I can pay out of pocket to replace the entire fuel system however to claim under the recall they don-??t have a remedy nor any new parts to replace the failed component along with replacing the rest of the fuel system from the metal contamination. Service advisor provided a corporate Chrysler contact number to escalate to a Chrysler case manager. After creating the case order I was told the case manager would be contacting me within 24 hours. So far it-??s been about 5 days and attempting to call I get sent to a voicemail box that-??s full.

I had a warning code of service electronic throttle. It then started to regenerate and we took it to Lithia Jeep to fix EGR recall. They needed to replace engine intake because it caught fire. Several months later the car broke down while driving, sputtering, knocking, squealing. Upon inspection, metal flakes found in oil. Suspected HPFP sucked into engine causing havoc. The HPFP is an open recall but no available replacement parts. I'm currently out of a vehicle. I've contacted Jeep but haven't heard a reply

FCA has had an open recall (Z46/NHTSA 22V-406) for over 14 months. They are unable to provide necessary parts and as such potentially unsafe vehicles must be driven by owner and these vehicles are unable to be traded/sold due to open safety recall. FCS Recall Assistance and Chrysler Group Customer Care for Jeep have been contacted with no resolution and no anticipated date for resolution.

The vehicle has a significant safety recall out with no timely identified repair offered. Jun 09,2022 Manufacturer Recall NumberZ46 NHTSA Recall Number22V-406 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available How can the manufacturer expect people to feel safe driving with the possibility of a unplanned sudden stop putting their lives, their passengers lives and the lives of other travelers on the road at risk. If Jeep can't fix the issue they should replace the vehicles.

We have been unable to drive the vehicle for 9 months out of 12 due to it being in the shop. The latest was a OBDC of "Improper DEF used see dealership". It was at 3 different shops to remedy the issue the final one being Lithia Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge of Missoula #134. Even with the extended warranty they WOULD NOT cover the expense even though it was their warranty. We were told it was for labor, but labor was supposed to be covered. There is also a "Stop Sale" in place so we cannot even drive the vehicle anymore due to lack of power. The dealership and FCA told us that this was "NORMAL" and we just "HAD TO LET THE VEHICLE WARM UP FIRST" I have owned and operated diesel vehicles for a better part of 28 years. I have NEVER had to do this. I cannot put my families lives at risk with this POS. Right now as it is, we are. making payments on insurance and and vehicle payments on an SUV we cannot drive. I can give specific dates, times and conversations as well as email threads from FCA trying to handle the situation to no avail.

The past 3 times putting gas in 1) after gassing, Jeep started, would not go into gear. Shut off, restarted, was fine. 2) after gassing, Jeep started however shaking, shut off, restarted, however shook until it caught and started. 3) after gassing, the 3rd time it started. The Jeep would shake, like the old cars would diesel when shut off, this is what it was like. Shows multiple codes. Purge valve under hood replaced in November, replacing again to see if its bad. Rear purge valve replaced (driver rear wheel). Next step is smoking the vehicle to find the leaks, believe to be the gas filler neck. Often when putting gas in, gas clicks off. Also the capless tank is awful, often difficult to put the hose in. This is my 3rd JGC, the 07 had issues and this one. The 2011 was a dream! These are manufacturer's issues and should be repaired FREE of charge!
