Symptom: The engine cranks but won't start, stalls while you're driving, or the electrics act up on their own (horn, wipers, lights).
Likely causes
- The fuel pump relay inside the TIPM (the main fuse and relay box). Chrysler recalled 2011–2013 Grand Cherokees because this relay can fail and stall the engine, then issued a follow-up recall.
- External relay kit. Jeep Garage members report about $72–$75 in parts.
- Full TIPM replacement, reported at about $900–$1,200 or more at a dealer.
Rough cost range

DIY or shop?
Recall work goes to the dealer. Experienced owners install the relay kit themselves.
Useful steps
- Check your VIN for all three recalls. The 19V813 follow-up covers vehicles that already had the earlier repair.
- If it cranks but won't start, listen for the fuel pump humming when you first turn the key on.
- Keep the dealer paperwork. Shops sometimes misdiagnose this as a bad fuel pump.
