Fuel system reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the message "Low Fuel Pressure" was displayed, and the vehicle stalled in the middle of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was pushed to the side of the road with the assistance of the spouse. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it remained for 10 days before being diagnosed with a high-pressure fuel pump failure. The dealer determined that the high-pressure fuel pump and an unknown pump needed to be replaced. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); which was performed on the vehicle two years before the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and denied assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

My car started jumping after purchssing it in November 2025 used. The gear would feel like it was slipping. In March 2026 I parked my car turned it off let off the brake and it rolled. I have used the emergency brake since then. The gas gauge is off. The miles and gauge do not line up correctly and I was advised fuel pump may be off. It will drink gas up within a few miles. Check engine light came on without warning. Took it to check it out said oil sensor. He said replace it soon as you can still driveable. The next day i drove to my sons college and the jeep had no power, the check service on the screen popped up. And the jeep would not accelerate. I was anle to take it to O'Reilly and several codes appeared stating 2 gear shift ratio inaccurate 7 gear shift ratio inaccurate, engine oil pressure control circuit performance stuck off, clutch temp threshold achieved auto stick inhibit. The employee said he had never seen these codes populate. He asked if i had smelled any transmission fluid burning. I said no. No leaks nothing. Had the car for 7 months. He stated transmission isnt any good. That I would need a deep decoding done to say for sure. Car is in limp mode now. Unable to drive safely.

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.

Vehicle has the exact same problem with the fuel pump relay that the 2014s has. The 2014s are repaired via NHTSA yet the 2015s are not. The issue is EXACTLY the same. Why does the NHTSA care about the safety of 2014 owners/passengers but not 2015 owners/passengers?

While driving at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly lost power, displayed a low oil pressure warning, and became inoperable. The vehicle had to be towed. Dealer initially claimed “overfilled oil,” but an independent oil analysis (Blackstone Labs) confirmed excessive fuel dilution (5.5%), indicating contamination of the oil system. This vehicle is covered by NHTSA Recalls 22V-406 (FCA Z46) and 23V-263 (FCA 01A) related to premature failure of the Bosch CP4 high-pressure fuel pump. Recall documents state: “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.” The vehicle’s failure aligns with this description. Dealer has not yet performed an HPFP inspection despite recall requirements. Request: NHTSA investigate whether fuel dilution and catastrophic failure are linked to the CP4 HPFP defect covered by these recalls.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had gone to the dealer three times for the recall repair before experiencing a failure with the vehicle; however, the part was not available for the recall repair. While awaiting the repair, while the contact's wife was driving approximately 60 MPH, there was a clanking sound coming from the engine compartment. The sound progressively grew louder. There was no warning light illuminated. On the fourth visit to the dealer, the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure, and the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that parts were on backorder and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

This is in reference to recall #Z46/NHTSA 22V-406 On June 11 2025 I had my Jeep at the dealer for an unrelated problem. The next day when the dealer called me to let me now that my Jeep was ready they mentioned they preformed the high pressure fuel pump recall. I figured no big deal, no additional trip to dealer for the recall. After getting my vehicle home I looked in to what exactly was done as part of the recall. I also found the instructions for the work to be done and the parts to be replaced as part of this recall. The dealer only preformed part of the recall, they replaced the pump the filters and left the label pack in an envelope in the vehicle. When I called them the next day to ask why the additional parts were not installed they said that they do do that part of the recall for no contaminated vehicles. In the instructions for the recall it states numerous times that the high pressure fuel lines are one time use and to discard and replace the lines. In their own service instructions for high pressure fuel lines or whenever the lines need to be removed for a repair the fuel lines are to be replaced. I have had to pay for fuel lines in the past on a repair that required removal. So my question is are dealers required to replace one time use parts only when the customer is paying? same for the EGR tube and gasket. This recall was serious enough to cause a nation wide stop sale order on all dealer stock. the dealer that did this work is West Valley Chrysler Jeep Dodge 4174 West 3500 South West Valley City UT 84120 (801) 955-0872 Any help with this would be appreciated.

The HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) on this vehicle fails causing a fuel lapse and loss of power. I have taken it to two different dealers and they say the HPFP is on recall but not available. The vehicle was available for inspection but neither dealer performed this. When the HPFP fails the engine light comes on and the electronic throttle control light comes on. This started in September of 2023 and has repeated several times. The recall for the HPFP has been announced for quite awhile but nothing has been done about it.
