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.

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.

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.

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.

The car goes into neutral while driving and loses power. Has happened more than 10 times. This has resulted in twice on the freeway and almost caused an accident. I have taken it in to be repaired and they stated it was a software issue.
Electrical system, Wheels, Engine, Jul 21, 2021
Myself - along with THOUSANDS are having the dreaded P0520 Code come on!!! There is a TSB (HAS BEEN ONE FOR 7 YEARS) for this problem! Yet, since it seems to fail right out of warranty - THOUSANDS are being affected. Previously-The 2014 Jeep Compass SUV is among the 522 vehicles recalled by Chrysler alongside the 2014 Jeep Patriot SUV, 2013 Dodge Avenger, and Chrysler 200, all of which are equipped with 2.4-liter engines that are touted to have engine oil pressure loss issues that may lead to sudden engine stall or failure BECAUSE OF THIS SAME OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ISSUE "! Yet No RECALL on 2014 models when the issue is so widely well known!? Problems --Large oil leak, could have gone on fire or seized the engine. Turns out the oil filter housing assemble was cracked which seems quite common in this make, mode and year. The oil filter housing is cracked and it is a known issue with my vehicle. One morning there was a large amount of oil under my vehicle. At this time there are so many open issues with this defected part that I am unable to get this part cause there are 5800 people in line before me waiting for this part. I am unsure where to start to have this recalled but I would like to move in the direction of having that done. Please help! I read online that there was a possible petition started for this very issue. IT ALL BEGINS WITH THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT (http://www.sequentialtaillights.com/dodge/SB_PDF/TSB_LC_0803414a.pdf) Please recall this issue! Make JEEP REPLACE THESE IMMEDIATELY AT THEIR COST! Next -- TAKE A LOOK AT HOW MANY JEEPS OF THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL have loud ticking coming on! My Jeep has developed the 3. 6l penastar tick. I noticed fca extended the warranties for vehicles equipped with the 3. 6l penastar v6 but for my model they stopped in 2013. How can I get my year added to that warranty since it developed the same problems as the previous years??? ALSO - Front wheel issues constantly! Replacements!

Approximately May 15th 2021 the Start/Stop button started to malfunction causing the vehicle to not go into park. I called the Jeep dealer to set an appointment and brought the vehicle in for repairs on 6/1/2021. The Service manager mentioned that there was a recall on Jeep Cherokee Models but I still had to pay to have it repaired. As I see it as a Safety concern by the NHSTA, I believe it should have been covered at no expense to me.

THE FIRST COMPLAINT IS WHEN THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING AND IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE SECOND WAS WHEN THE CAR WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING, AND THE MAIN INCIDENT WAS WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY (WESTBOUND 80 IN HERCULES, CA) AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 60 MPH SO I NEEDED TO EXIT AND WHEN I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PARK THE CAR, IT DIED ON ME AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, COSTING ME OVER $2500 IN REPAIR REGARDLESS OF THE FIX A COUPLE YEARS AGO. THIS MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT (ANTIOCH, CA)THE CAR STARTED SHAKING ABOUT TO THE DIE AND THE SCREEN READ 'MUST PLACE CAR IN PARK.' AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN, BUT AT EVERY STOP THE CAR WOULD SHAKE. MOST RECENTLY (CONCORD, CA) AN ALERT CAME ON THE SCREEN 'SERVICE SHIFTER.' AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR MAY HAVE BEEN A PART OF A RECALL AFFECTING THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE GEARS. BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT AM STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE VEHICLE SHIFTING GEARS, OR LACK THEREOF. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE REPAIRS AND COMPLAINTS, BUT DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THEM RIGHT NOW. IF NEEDED I CAN PROVIDE THEM.*DT

IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS EVERY TIME I GO TURN ON THE CAR, IT SEEMS AS UF THE THE STRUGGLES TO START. SO, WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO THE MIDDLE POSITION THEN TURN IT HARD OVER, THE CAR WILL START. IF MAY TAKE ONE TIME OR SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. NOT BATTERY BECAUSE WINDOWS ROLL DOWN, RADIO COMES ON, AND SO ON. AS OF TODAY IT SEEM THERE IS NO CONNECTION HAPPENING.
