Recalls and investigations

  1. Electrical system, wiring, rear compartment/trunkPark outsideMay 11, 2023

    Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with a power liftgate. An electrical short in the power liftgate module may lead to a vehicle fire with the ignition on or off.

    A fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.

    Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will relocate the power liftgate module and add a water shield. In addition, dealers will inspect for corrosion and replace the module and electrical connectors, if necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner letters were mailed March 1, 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 49A. This recall supersedes recalls 15V-393 and 15V-826. Vehicles repaired under the prior recalls will still need to have the new remedy performed.

  2. Power train, driveline, differential unitJun 11, 2020

    Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with a two-speed Power Transfer Unit (PTU). Relative movement in the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) between the differential input splines and the transmission output shaft may cause some input spline teeth to wear off, which may eventually cause a loss of engagement between the transmission and the differential inside the PTU. If this occurs, power cannot be transferred between the front wheels and the transmission which results in a loss of drive while the vehicle is in motion and a loss of the Park function while stationary.

    A loss of drive can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. A loss of the Park function can cause unintended vehicle rollaway which can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

    FCA US LLC will notify owners, and dealers will perform a software update that will maintain vehicle propulsion by engaging rear wheel drive and prevent rolling in Park by activating the electronic parking brake if a failed input spline occurs. This recall began July 14, 2020. Owners may contact FCA USA LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is W47.

  3. Power train, automatic transmissionJun 13, 2019

    Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with 3.2L engines. In the event that a clutch becomes stuck in the transmission, the transmission software may shift the transmission to neutral.

    An unexpected shift to neutral would result in a loss of drive, increasing the risk of crash.

    Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the transmission software, free of charge. The recall began August 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is V69.

  4. Electrical system, wiringMay 17, 2018

    Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

    If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

    Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.

    VEHICLE FAILS TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND STALLS UPON ACCELERATION FROM COMPLETE STOPS, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND NORMAL ROADS. ISSUE STARTED 7 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AT 8,573 MILES. JEEP TAKEN TO DEALER ON MARCH 10, 2015, WHO REPROGRAMMED TRANSMISSION & POWER TRAIN MODULES & REPROGRAMMED RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE. 5/15 - JEEP WAS MAKING CLUNKING NOISE AND GRINDING NOISES - REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED AT 14K MILES; 5/27 - JEEP STILL MADE GRINDING NOISE WHEN PLACED INTO GEAR - POWER TRANSFER UNIT & SKID PLATE REPLACED AS TECH FOUND FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO PTU CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE. 7/7 - JEEP STILL NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, RPMS REV TO 5 & 6K BEFORE SHIFTING. SLOW ACCELERATION HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE CRASHES!! DEALER REPROGRAMMED TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. 10/2/15 - LIFT GATE WON'T OPEN WITH FOB OR BY HAND & WON'T LOCK WHEN CLOSED MANUALLY - OPEN RECALL WITH NO REMEDY AVAIL, I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE IT UNTIL FIXED. DEALER HAS NO ETA FOR THE FIX AND THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE FIRE!!

    SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DIGITAL DASH DISPLAY WENT BLANK, RED "BATTERY" INDICATOR CAME ON, "NO BUS" FAULT MESSAGE APPEARED, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF, THE TURN SIGNAL DID NOT WORK, RADIO DID NOT WORK, DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK (LOCK/UNLOCK). THE SAFETY ISSUE IS TO LOSE FUNCTION OF HEADLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL WHILE DRIVING. ALSO IF A CRASH WERE TO OCCUR, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT MY VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY, DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO UNLOCK MY DOORS. BETWEEN AUGUST 27, 2015 AND SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 THIS OCCURRED FOUR (4) SEPARATE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED IN FOR SERVICE EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, DURING DRIVING IT CAN COME AND GO. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER STATED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY INSTRUMENTATION TO TROUBLESHOOT CAN BUS AND THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I WOULD PULL OVER INTO A SAFE AREA AND TAKE PHOTOS OF THE DASH SHOWING THE FAULTS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN ONLY RESET FAULTS AS DISPLAYED ON A TABLET WHEN PLUGGED INTO THE VEHICLE. AGAIN DEALER HAS NO TOOLS TO LOOK UP BUS PROBLEMS, ELECTRICAL CONTACT ISSUE, ETC.

  11. Power train, Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Sep 9, 2015

    VEHICLE SHIFTS FROM PARK INTO REVERSE WITHOUT ANYONE TOUCHING THE SHIFT LEVER. VEHICLE ALSO CHANGES GEARS OCCASIONALLY WHEN DRIVING, E.G., SHIFTS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WHEN BACKING UP, OR REVERSE TO NEUTRAL. REPORTED TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY IN JULY 2014 (NOT AWARE OF PROBLEM) AND CHRYSLER ON 9/29/14 AND AGAIN 9/9/15. WE ARE NOW VIGILANT WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND BEFORE INITIAL ACCELERATION. ONCE MOVING, THE JEEP STAYS IN THE GEAR SELECTED, E.G., HASN'T SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE SHIFT PROBLEM IS A PROGRESSION DOWNWARD, I.E., PARK TO REVERSE, REVERSE TO NEUTRAL, REVERSE TO DRIVE. UNFORTUNATELY MY WIFE HAD ANOTHER AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INCIDENT THIS WEEKEND WHEN SHE PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND, PLACED THE JEEP IN PARK, LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING, GOT OUT OF THE JEEP (BRIEFLY TO CHECK ON SOMETHING), THEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND STARTED BACKWARDS. MY WIFE HAD TO RUN AND JUMP INTO THE MOVING JEEP TO STOP IT. ON THIS OCCASION, SHE WASN'T EVEN IN THE JEEP AND THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS, SO NO ONE TOUCHED THE SHIFT LEVER. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT PAUSE (I.E., TIME TO GET OUT OF THE JEEP AND START TO WALK AWAY) BEFORE THE JEEP CHANGED GEARS. ON THE OCCASIONS WHEN THE JEEP SHIFTS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT NO PERSON OR OBJECT WAS CLOSE TO THE FRONT OF THE JEEP AND THE DRIVER WAS ALERT AND ABLE TO STOP WITHIN THE FIRST FEW FEET; WE WILL NOT ALWAYS BE SO LUCKY. OTHER MANIFESTATION OF THIS SHIFTING PROBLEM IS WHEN SHIFTED TO REVERSE, WE WATCH THE INDICATOR SAY REVERSE THEN, AFTER A NOTICEABLE PAUSE WITH NO ONE TOUCHING THE GEAR LEVER, THE JEEP WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR CONTINUE INTO DRIVE. KNOWING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, WE WATCH THE SHIFT SEQUENCE CLOSELY AND CATCH THIS "SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR SELECTED" PROBLEM TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IS THIS A DRIVE BY WIRE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM?

  12. Power train, Electrical system, Service brakes, Sep 6, 2015

    EPISODE ONE: WHILE DRIVING UP HILL AT ABOUT 30 MILES AND HOUR CAR JERKED INTO NEUTRAL, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLASHED ENGINE LIGHT WARNING, TRANSMISSION LIGHT WARNING, PARKING BREAK WARNING, TRACTION CONTROL WARNING AND FLASHED "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND SERVICE PARKING BRAKE".

    VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED ON A STRAIGHT AND LEVEL ROAD AT 45 MPH WHEN THE DASHBOARD ELECTRICAL AND RADIO SYSTEM WENT DARK, AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT THE SAME TIME. IN ABOUT TWO SECONDS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENT BY THE DRIVER. SHE HAD BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL SO THAT SHE COULD CONTROL THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING. WHEN THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ON ITS OWN, THE NORMAL HOUSEKEEPING FUNCTIONS OCCURRED ON THE DASH, THE RADIO CAME BACK ON, AND POWER STEERING CAME BACK. TWO LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH THAT WERE NOT NORMAL. ONE WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON CONTINUOUS, AND THE SQUIGILY TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON UNTIL SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE SHE STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN SHE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE TRACTION LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON, HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID COME BACK ON IN A CONTINUOUS MODE.

AFTER ABOUT 1500 MILES IT BEGAN SHIFTING VERY HARD IN LOW GEARS JERKING , IT RED LINES EXTREMELY HARD TO WHERE IT WILL JOLT THE JEEP AND WHEN I COME TO A STOP IT WOULD BEGIN RAISE RPMS AND ACCELERATE. IT WOULD SCARE ME SENSELESS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT'S HOW IT PERFORMS AND MADE ME LEAVE. 400 MILES LATER THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY BLEW OUT GOING 50 IN LA TRAFFIC. IT WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR A MONTH. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN IT IN 8 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM A FEW TIMES THEY HAVE UPDATED THE TCM NOW THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NO CODES AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE IT, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES IT EVERY SINGLE TIME. THE JEEP WILL NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR TO SHIFT AND LEAVE ME STRANDED IN INTERSECTIONS BEFORE IT SHIFTS AND PEELS OUT. WHEN I BREAK IT'LL PICK UP SPEED IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. JEEP HAS NO FIX FOR IT AND WILL NOT BUY IT BACK NOR COMPENSATE ME IN ANYWAY THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO BUY THESE BE BACK. LAST WEEKEND I TOOK IT ON A TRIP GOING DOWNHILL AT 60 MPH 2000 RPM I TAPPED THE BREAK AND THE JEEP REVVED TO 5000 RPMS ALSO MY HORN IS HE HARDEST HORN TO PUSH EVER IT DOES NOT WORK. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID ITS A LITTLE HARDER THAN NORMAL BUT THEY CANNOT REPLACE IT SINCE IT DOESN'T GIVE A CODE .EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER IS CONCERNED AND COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ONE DAY THIS THING IS GOING TO GET ME IN A WRECK. I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE I JUST WANT SOMETHING SAFE AND RELIABLE FOR MY FAMILY. I WISH JEEP CHRYSLER HOWEVER IT IS WOULD JUST DO THE RIGHT THING.

    THE VEHICLE LUNGES AFTER YOU STOP AS IF IT IS DOWN SHIFTING. SOMETIMES IT BANGS AND JUMPS SUDDENLY WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE NOT DOWN SHIFTED AND IS IN TOO HIGH A GEAR CAUSING THE ENGINE TO PAUSE BEFORE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTING AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATING WHICH SOMETIMES IT TO ABRUPT AND YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING TRAFFIC. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL REPROGRAMS OF THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. THE LAST CAUSED THE CAR TO SUDDENLY LUNGE AND JUMP OUT INTO TRAFFIC WHILE SITTING AT A STOP WITH THE BRAKE ON AND NO GAS APPLIED. WE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT... THE MOTOR HAS STARTED LEAKING OIL FROM THE OIL FILTER AND COOLER ASSEMBLY ON TOP OF THE 3.2 LITER V6. IT APPEARS IT HAS A BAD GASKET OR SEAL OR IT MAY BE CRACKED. I SEE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THIS BE CAUSE YOU CAN SMELL BURNING OIL, WE REMOVED THE TOP ENGINE COWL AND CARRY A FIRE EXTINGUISHER JUST IN CASE IT CATCHES FIRE. IT APPEARS THAT YOU COULD EASILY LOSE MOST OF THE OIL AND SEIZE THE MOTOR NOT TO MENTION CATCH ON FIRE. THE REAR HATCH CAMERA AND CONTROLS MALFUNCTION IN WET WEATHER. THE CAMERA TURNS TO SNOW OR MOVING OBJECTS APPEAR FRAME BY FRAME AND NOT IN REAL TIME. THE CONTROLS FAIL TO ALLOW GATE OPERATION. I CONTACTED JEEP TODAY AND AM TAKING IT IN FOR THE OIL ISSUE AND WILL TRY TO GET THEM TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION AND REAR GATE ISSUES. THIS IS A DANGER TO DRIVE WHEN IT CAN LAUNCH INTO TRAFFIC OR LEAK OIL CAUSING A FIRE OR SHORT OUT THE GATE FROM AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. JEEP NEEDS TO GET THESE ISSUES ADDRESSED.

    DRIVING HOME, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. ALARM SOUNDED AND A MESSAGE OF SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DASH DISPLAY. THE ENGINE CONTINUE TO RUN, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION. WE COASTED OFF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGED. WE WERE NEAR THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY GAVE US A LOANER AND KEPT THE CAR. WE WERE ADVISED THERE WAS A RECALL ON TRANSMISSION MODULE AND POWERTRAIN MODULE. WE PICKED OUR CAR UP FROM THE DEALER AND IT SEEMED FINE. BUT ON 5/20/15 WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE ELECTRONICS AND ROAD TESTED THE CAR AND ALL WAS WELL. ON 6/4/15 WE HAD THE SAME FAILURE. WE JUST MISSED HAVING ANOTHER VEHICLE RUN INTO US SINCE THE CAR JUST STOPPED IT'S FORWARD PROGRESS. THE DEALER HAS THE CAR NOW. THE SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA AT THIS TIME (3:00 PM) WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. THE FIRST TWO FAILURES WEREN'T BAD BECAUSE WE WERE THE ONLY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. THE THIRD FAILURE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I JUST SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE HAD FAILED DURING A TEST DRIVE, BUT THEY CANNOT ISOLATE THE FAILURE AT THIS TIME.

    IN DECEMBER 2014, THE 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE SHUT OFF TWICE IN ONE EVENING DUE TO TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUES: 1) THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE JEEP WAS AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED & THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED THE CAR LURCHED AND MADE A LOUD THUMP SOUND AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) WAS ILLUMINATED AND AN ERROR MESSAGE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE & I WAS FORCED TO COAST INTO DARK PARKING LOT ALONE. THE MANUAL SAID THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE SERVICED IF THE LIGHT STAYS ON THROUGH SEVERAL DRIVING CYCLES AND THAT THE VEHICLE MOST LIKELY DID NOT REQUIRE TOWING. 2) AFTER FOLLOWING THE MANUAL, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE TO A SAFE LOCATION UNTIL THE CAR COULD BE TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE (IT WAS NOW AROUND 11:00PM). THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES UNTIL I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY (SPEED LIMIT 55 MPH) & THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO PULL & IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY THUMPED AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF FORCING ME TO RAPIDLY PULL OVER INTO A DANGEROUS EXIT RAMP AT AROUND MIDNIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ICY WINTER. THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON & I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK & SAID THE ISSUE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (WHICH THEY REPLACED & UPDATED THE SOFTWARE). IN MAY 2015, I HAD BEEN HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR INCLUDING ANOTHER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN FOR SERVICE (THIS IS NOW THE 4TH TIME I HAD BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A VARIETY OF ISSUES). THE TRANSMISSION WAS PULLING, JERKING, & OVERALL HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING SO I REQUESTED THEY SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO PREFORM A TRANSMISSION RE-LEARN TO IMPROVE THE SHIFTING. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE TRANSMISSION WAS JERKING AGAIN & I AM GOING TO BE TAKING THE CAR BACK IN AGAIN FOR SERVICE (NOW THE 5TH VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP).

    I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS (5 TOTAL) WITH MY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED HARD SHIFTING INTO LOWER GEARS. THE VEHICLE JERKS AND BUCKS RANDOMLY AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO HAVE NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE FEATURES THE ZF-DESIGNED NINE-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT HAS KNOWN ISSUES WITH ROUGH SHIFTING. THE RECALL UPDATE WAS PERFORMED IN EARLY MAY YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY PULLS FORWARD, NORMALLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND IS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE. CHRYSLER HAS A TOTAL OF 5 WORK ORDERS IN THEIR SYSTEM AND IS ASKING ME FOR A 6TH TIME TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS. EACH "REPAIR" TRIP RESULTS IN A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT BAN AIDS THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND THEN WE ARE RIGHT BACK TO SQUARE ONE. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED AND AM REQUESTING THAT THE VEHICLE BE BOUGHT BACK BY CHRYSLER AND I BE REIMBURSED FOR ALL CAR PAYMENTS MADE IN THE LAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE FALLS UNDER MARYLAND LEMON LAW REQUIREMENTS IN THAT , IT HAS LESS THAN 18K MILES AND IS UNDER 24 MONTHS OLD AND WAS PURCHASED NEW. I AM REQUESTING TO OPEN A CASE WITH NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE AN OPEN CASE NUMBER WITH CHRYSLER OF 26719430. ANY ASSISTANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
