“I've always had trouble with my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Especially with the fuel system and fuel pump. I've had to replace my fuel pump 3-4 times. Now its reading the RPM extremely high. I've also had to replace my Jeep's computer because I was told that was the problem. It seems there's also electrical issues. I still can't find the exact problem.”

When I contacted the dealer, ciconni chrysler Jeep, they said my car was left out of the recall. This vehicle does not have a trailer hitch. Can you advise me on this matter?”

In addition, the vehicle will not start randomly and requires a few minutes wait time before a successful start.”
