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.

    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.

  1. Engine, Jan 22, 2018

    THE CAR CONTINUALLY STALLS OUT WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. AT FIRST THEY STATED THE OIL LEVEL READ LOW. WE HAD THEM DO A COMPLETE OIL CHANGE AND ONE MONTH LATER THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER REVIEWING THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYLSER DODGE JEEP JUST WANTS TO IGNORE. MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THE CHECK ENGINE/BATTERY LIGHT DISPLAYS. YOU NEED TO WAIT 2-3 MINUTES AND RESTART. ALL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS REPORT NEGATIVE. FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF THOSE ON THE ROAD WITH ME!

  2. Power train, Engine, Jan 6, 2018

    MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS HAD DIFFICULTY SHIFTING AND WOULD OFTEN HAVE HARD SHIFTS BETWEEN GEARS. AT 22,562 MILES I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE, PROMPTING JEEP TO UPDATE MY VEHICLE'S SOFTWARE. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST THE PERFORMANCE OF MY 4-CYLINDER ENGINE. AT MILEAGE 58,160 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MERGING LANES, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST ANY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND LOST ALL POWER FUNCTIONS. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE'S MOMENTUM TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. THE VEHICLE HAD A MESSAGE ON MY DRIVER'S DASH INSTRUCTING ME TO SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK. AFTER DOING SO THE VEHICLE STILL WOULD NOT START UNTIL I SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE.AGAIN, JEEP RE-PROGRAMMED MY COMPUTER. ONE WEEK LATER, ON 9/25/2017, THE VEHICLE HAD THE ENGINE SEIZE AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY MILEAGE 58,511. JEEP DETERMINED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS VERY LOW, EVEN THOUGH A FULL-SYNTHETIC VALVOLINE 5W20 HAD BEEN COMPLETED AT 53,335 MILES AND THE FLUID LEVELS WERE CHECKED AT THE DEALERSHIP ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE, INSTRUCTED ME THAT AFTER 50,000 MILES IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THE 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE MODELS TO BURN OFF 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES AND TO MONITOR THE OIL LEVELS GOING FORWARD. I MENTIONED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE OIL LEVELS HAD JUST BEEN INSPECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP ONE WEEK EARLIER, ON 9/18/2017, AND WAS TOLD THAT FLUID LEVELS WERE NORMAL. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNING OIL MUCH FASTER THAN THE 1 QUART PER 1,000 MILES ACCEPTABLE THRESHOLD. I WAS ASKED TO SEE IF THE NEW OIL CHANGE WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE, AND TO BRING MY CAR IN AT AROUND 60,000 MILES TO CHECK THE OIL LEVELS. AT 62,052 THE VEHICLE SEIZED AGAIN AND, UPON DIAGNOSIS, OIL LEVELS WERE FINE. JEEP CAN DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND CANNOT OFFER A SOLUTION. IT HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH.

  3. Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 5, 2018

    THE 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE COMPLETELY STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITH A MESSAGE THAT STATES "MUST BE IN P TO SHIFT GEARS". THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLS WHILE DRIVING AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, WITH THE SAME MESSAGE. THE DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS FOR THE EXACT SAME THING THAT DON'T SEEM TO BE GETTING ADDRESSED. FAILURE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IS A RISK TO THOSE OWNING THE VEHICLES AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROADS AND POSES A MAJOR LIABILITY TO THE COMPANY IF NOTHING IS DONE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I'M LISTING THE MOST RECENT DATE, HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S HAPPENED.

  4. Power train, Other or unspecified, Engine, Jan 5, 2018

    MY JEEP CHEROKEE 2014 HAS BEEN HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. LAST NIGHT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE, THATS WHY IM HERE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE JEEP JUST STARTED TO BRAKE ON ITS OWN. I WAS SLIDING IN THE SNOW AND ALMOST FLIPED. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE JEEP. I HAD TROUBLE PULLING IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO FORCE DRIVE TO THE SIDE. WOULD NOT GO ON REVERSE. WHEN THE TOWN TRUCK ARRIVED,HE HAD TROUBLE PUTTING IT ON TOW TRUCK. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OVER SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED.

  5. Service brakes, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 30, 2017

    AFTER FILLING MY TANK WITH GAS I TURNED ONTO A NEARBY ROADWAY AND FELT MY CAR SPUTTERING AND JERKING. AS I CAME TO A SLOW STOP AT A STOP LIGHT MY CAR ABRUPTLY SLAMMED TO A STOP AND MADE A LOUD BANG/SLAMMING NOISE AND PROMPTED ME TO SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. I FOLLOWED THESE COMMANDS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. AS SOON AS I WOULD SHIFT OUT OF PARK THE LOUD SLAMMING WOULD OCCUR AGAIN AND I BEGAN TO SMELL FUMES SO I STOPPED TRYING TO FOLLOW THE PROMPTS. I PUT MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHED MY CAR OUT OF THE MOVING TRAFFIC LANES AND GOT IT TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND GAVE IT BACK. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE 3 TIMES SINCE. THEY REPLACED AN EVAPORATION PRESSURE SWITCH THE SECOND TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN AND THIS STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. THE LAST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED I WAS SLOWING DOWN ON A HIGHWAY IN DENSE TRAFFIC AND AS TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING AGAIN MY GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS I ONLY HEARD LOUD REVVING NOISES AS MY CAR COASTED.. WHEN I WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKES AND PULL OFF THE ROAD I IMMEDIATELY HEARD THE LOUD SLAMMING NOISE AND MY CAR BROKE DOWN AGAIN IN A VERY UNSAFE LOCATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAITED ONE HOUR AND MY CAR WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND I SLOWLY GOT IT OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY E-LIGHTS ON. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE SHOP AFTER THE NEW YEAR.. AGAIN. WORST OF ALL AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE ONLINE I SEE IT IS COMMON AMONG JEEP VEHICLES. NOT JUST THE CHEROKEE. HAPPENS AFTER I GAS UP. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED AT HIGH SPEEDS BY OTHER CARS ON THE ROADWAY. HAS BEEN LISTED IN FORUMS AS SOMESORT OF ROLLOVER FUEL VALVE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE MORE SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH OCCURS ASSUMING THAT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED. ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE THE WORK THEY DID ON 2ND VISIT TO DEALER I HAVE HAD CHECK GAS CAP AND ENGINE LIGHTS ON

  6. Other or unspecified, Engine, Dec 14, 2017

    AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. MY CAR STARTED BUCKING, SHAKING AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR TOLD ME TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF. IT WOULD BUCK EVERY TIME I TRIED TO GO FROM A STOPPED TO STARTING POSITION. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY CITY STREET, AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AT NIGHT AND TERRIFIED THAT I WAS GOING TO GET REAR ENDED.

  7. Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 14, 2017

    SINCE I PURCHASED MY USED VEHICLE I HAVE HAD A REOCCURRING ISSUE WHERE THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE IN THE FIRST GEAR. RECENTLY IT HAS GOTTEN SO SEVERE THAT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. I'VE NOTICED THAT IT OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY AFTER I FILL MY TANK AND AFTER PROLONGED PERIODS OF BEING STOPPED. IT HAS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND MOST RECENTLY WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT OCCURS THE VEHICLE STILL HAS POWER RUNNING THROUGH AND A NOTICES ALWAYS POPS UP SAYING "CAR MUST BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO SHIFT." IN ALL CASES I HAVE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WAS ABLE TO TURN BACK ON. IN ALL CASES NO INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO GET SERVICED THEW FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT TO GET SERVICED I WAS TOLD THE EVAPORATED CANISTER AND PURGE SOLENOID HAD TO REPLACED. THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS ASKED ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS IS UNTIL A SERVICE LIGHT APPEARS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS IS.

    TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING STUCK IN GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (BOB POYNTER CHRYSLER, 3020 B NATIONAL RD, COLUMBUS, IN) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. ON JULY 1, 2017, WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND THE "ERROR CAR MUST BE IN PARK BEFORE SHIFTING GEAR" MESSAGE APPEARED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO COMMUNITY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2300 S WALNUT ST, BLOOMINGTON, IN 47101) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT AN APPOINTMENT WAS NEEDED FOR SERVICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR A LATER DATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

    I PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AS USUALLY (SO VEHICLE WAS PARKED). ON TOP OF MY GARAGE THERE IS MY NEIGHBOR'S APARTMENT AND MY APARTMENT IS ON TOP OF THE NEIGHBOR'S APARTMENT. I AM COMPLETELY SURE THAT, WHEN I CAME HOME THE NIGHT BEFORE, I HAD SHUT OFF THE CAR (USING THE PUSH BUTTON- THE CAR HAS A KEYLESS IGNITION SYSTEM) BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT THE CAR TURNED ON BY ITSELF. WE DON'T KNOW FOR HOW LONG THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT IT RAN ENOUGH TIME TO FILL MY NEIGHBOR'S APT. WITH FUMES AND ALSO THE FUMES REACHED MY APT. UPSTAIRS WHERE I WAS SLEEPING WITH MY DAUGHTER. THE TWO OF US (MY DAUGHTER AND I) WERE LUCKY BECAUSE I HAD ALL MY WINDOWS OPEN (IT WAS HOT THAT NIGHT) BUT MY NEIGHBOR ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 3 WEEKS. AT LEAST 19 DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED NATIONS WIDE DUE TO KEYLESS IGNITION MALFUNCTIONING ISSUES. THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME BUT THERE ISN'T ONE IN ANY CAR THAT HAVE THIS KEYLESS IGNITION SYSTEM. ALSO VERY FEW MANUFACTURERS HAVE ADDED A BEEPING OR AUDIO ALARM TO WARN DRIVERS THEY HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH THE FOB BUT FAILED TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. I DID TURNED OFF MY CAR BUT STILL IT TURNED ON BY ITSELF, CAUSING MY CAR TO IDLE IN THE GARAGE FOR MANY HOURS. I BELIEVE THE START/STOP BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAR IS ACTUALLY MALFUNCTIONING. HOWEVER WHEN I TOLD THIS TO JEEP DEALER THEY SAID THE CAR IS PERFECT AND THEY WANT TO GIVE ME BACK ONLY $15K. I PAID $24K FOR THAT VERY DANGEROUS CAR! SINCE THE INCIDENT ON SEPTEMBER 16TH,2017 I HAVE BEEN HAVING ANXIETY ISSUES AND ALSO I HAD TO RELY ON THE GOODWILL OF FRIENDS AND THE USE OF A FRIEND'S CAR. I NOW NEED TO MOVE ON FROM THIS INCIDENT AND GET A CAR THAT I CAN RELY ON AND FEEL SAFE PARKING IT IN MY GARAGE BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE CARS ARE OUT OF THE MARKET ASAP SO NONE WILL SUFFER WHAT WE SUFFERED.

    TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN KNOCKING VERY HARD WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE. ONE DAY WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE TRANSMISSION, PLACE CAR INTO PARK THEN INTO DESIRED GEAR." ONCE I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, IT FELT AND SOUNDED LIKE MY ENGINE WAS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR. I TRIED TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, HOWEVER, I HAD NO SUCCESS WITH THAT. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES AT ALL WITH MY DRIVING UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I BOUGHT MY JEEP IN DECEMBER 2013 AND THIS ISSUE OCCURRED NOVEMBER 2017. I SERVICE MY JEEP ON A REGULAR BASIS AND DO NOT DRIVE RECKLESSLY. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN. A DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I DID NOTICE WHEN TURNED MY CAR ON AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION DID "KNOCK" INTO GEAR A LOT MORE AGGRESSIVELY THAN NORMAL.

  11. Engine, Nov 13, 2017

    JEEP STALLS OR WON'T START, TRY TO START MULTIPLE TIME UNTIL FINALLY STARTS AND OMITS WHITE SMOKE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, AFTER CHECKUP, JEEP IS LOW ON OIL BUT IS NOT DUE FOR OIL CHANGE. DASHBOARD READING SHOWS ONLY 62% OIL USED. MILEAGE BETWEEN LAST OIL CHANGE WAS 4839 MILES. I WAS ADVISED THAT VEHICLE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS WITHIN LIMITS. HAD OIL CHANGED THEN SAME PROBLEM ENSUED AGAIN 3.5 MONTHS LATER MILEAGE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS NOW 3637 MILES DRIVEN, DASHBOARD SHOWS 48% OIL USED AND DEALERSHIP GIVES ME THE SAME EXCUSE. OIL IS LOW BUT NO LEAKAGE ANYWHERE AND CONSUMPTION IS WITHIN GUIDELINES FOR MY VEHICLE. CHANGED OIL AGAIN AND WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT 3 TO 4K MILES. I'M SURE I WILL BE BACK AGAIN. HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE THEY LOOK DEEPER FOR THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. OIL SHOULD ONLY BE CHANGE EVERY 6000 TO 8000 MILES, THIS IS HOW IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING WHEN I PURCHASED IT NOW THE MILEAGE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES GET LOWER AND LOWER.

  12. Engine, Nov 1, 2017

    THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING, DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND BACK STREETS. I'M TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE ISSUE IS THE OIL WAS TOO LOW AND THAT SOME SENSOR SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE. NO WARNING LIGHT, NOTHING. JUST HAPPENS. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FLAW HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED OR CAUSED FATALITIES. THE CAR CONSUMES OIL LIKE IT'S GOING OUT OF STYLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED, IN MARCH 2017 WITH 63186 MILES ON IT . I NOW HAVE JUST UNDER 74000 MILES AND HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED 3X AND HAVE BEEN ADDING OIL MANUALLY. I SEE A LOT OF THIS ISSUES LISTED ON WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND OTHER SITES . I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A LOCAL DEALER THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT SO FAR HAVE BEEN DENIED BY CHRYSLER. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS LAST WEEK (10/24/17). SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET KILLED!

    THE 9 SPEED AUTO TRANS IS DANGEROUS, SOMETIMES IT IS DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL AND ALSO IT LUNGES AT RED LIGHTS JUST BEFORE A COMPLETE STOP AFTER I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS, BELOW IT ONLY GIVES ME ONE CHOICE BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO WARWICK JEEP ON RT. 94 IN WARWICK NY WHERE I BOUGHT IT MORE THAN 4X TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND WITHIN A DAY OR TWO IT JUST COMES BACK. VERY UNSAFE!

  16. Other or unspecified, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 4, 2017

    THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT ABILITY TO STEER OR SHIFT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHOUT RESOLUTION OR EXPLANATION FROM MECHANICS OR SERVICE MANAGERS AS TO WHY IT'S HAPPENED. THERE IS ALSO JERKING OR SHUDDERING AT VEHICLES WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING OR RESOLUTION ON SPORADIC OCCASIONS.

  17. Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Sep 28, 2017

    I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON SIDE ROADS AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AFTER HAVING DROPPED MY DAUGHTER OFF AT SCHOOL WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE CAME ONTO MY SCREEN ON THE DASH AND MY JEEP LOST POWER AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND SAID THAT I NEED TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. MULTIPLE VEHICLE WARNING SYSTEMS STARTED SOUNDING INCLUDE "CHECK TRANSMISSION", "PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN SELECT GEAR", ACCOMPANIED BY WARNING CHIMES, THE ENGINE LIGHT, ETC. VEHICLE SWITCHED GEARS AND WAS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I WILL BE BRINGING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP BUT SEE FROM REVIEWING ON-LINE THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE (2014).

  18. Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 26, 2017

    MY WIFE'S 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS 40K MILES ON IT AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO SHE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE IT STARTED SHUDDERING/VIBRATING AND THEN SHUT-OFF/STALLED ON HER AND DISPLAYED 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION'. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER HERE IN VA AND THEY SAID IT WAS SOFTWARE RECALLS THAT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. WE TOOK IT BACK 2 MORE TIMES TO THIS SAME DEALERSHIP AND THEY SECOND TIME THEY SAID CONVENIENTLY THAT ANOTHER SOFTWARE FIX HAD COME OUT TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT REGARDLESS OF HAVING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE AS THE SERVICE TECH PUT IT 'THINGS BREAK'. THE THIRD TIME THEY TOLD MY WIFE IT WAS HER FAULT FOR 'OVER FILLING THE GAS TANK WHILE PUMPING' SINCE THE ISSUES SEEM TO HAPPEN WITHOUT FAIL EVERY TIME SHE HAS FILLED THE CAR UP TO A FULL TANK SINCE THE FIRST ISSUE. NOW WE ARE TAKING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE (4TH TIME NO FIX).

    CAR CUTS OFF GOING ABOUT 40MPH. STEERING LOCKED UP. WHILE I WAS ON HIGHWAY. PROBLEM OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. UNSAFE VEHICLE PURCHASED TOP WARRANTY AND I'M STILL BEING CHARGED FOR REPAIR. PURCHASED THE CAR USED HAS 40,000 MILES. AND I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS YET! CAR STARED BACK UP AND WOULDN'T LET ME GO OVER 20MPH.

  20. Vehicle speed control, Electronic stability control (ESC), Engine, Sep 21, 2017

    WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR THE TRANSMISSION MADE A HORRIBLE SOUND AND JUST WENT BEZERK. ALL I COULD DO IS PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND COAST TO THE SIDE. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR NOT EVEN PARK. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL VEHICLES TRYING JUST TO GET OVER. HE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE WERE TOLD IT WAS FIXED ON OUR WAY HOME IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I AM LITERALLY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN.

    ON SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2017 AS I WAS DRIVING (IN MOTION) ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, I LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' SHOWED ON THE DISPLAY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND I RESTARTED MY VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. ONCE THERE, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I MENTIONED, WHILE MAKING THE APPOINTMENT, THAT THE LIGHT AND 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' DISPLAY HAD GONE OFF UPON RESTARTING MY VEHICLE. THEY ASSURED ME THAT A FAULT WOULD STILL BE LOGGED AND TO BRING IT IN. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY APPOINTMENT, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PULLED THE LOGGED CODE (P072900 (99 - HOUSE TECH) A), SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN THAT FAULT, AND BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER ACTIVE THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION OF THE CODE, NO EXPLANATION OF POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR THE CODE TO LOG, NO EXAMINATION OF MY VEHICLE, NO RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

    ISSUE 1. ENGINE: AT ANY TIME THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED GOING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, AND IT HAS HAPPENED BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE SHUT OFF ON ME 5 TIMES, I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS. THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF BUT ALL OTHER POWER WILL STAY ON. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN COMPLETELY AT RANDOM, I HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY RELATION TO SPEED, TYPE OF ROAD, OR WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING. ISSUE 2. TRANSMISSION: THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I'M ACCELERATING I LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF VEHICLE ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO ALWAYS HAPPEN WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME AT A WIDE RANGE OF SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE HAS AFFECTED ME OVER 10 TIMES, LAST TIME BEING YESTERDAY IN A SCHOOL ZONE. BOTH ISSUES HAPPEN INDEPENDANTLY OF EACH OTHER, I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY RELATION BETWEEN THE TWO. BOTH ISSUES CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE WAY THAT FCA AND MY DEALERSHIP TREAT THIS ISSUE AS IF IT ISN'T DANGEROUS IS INCREDIBLY CONCERNING. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH NOW AND THE ONLY SOLUTION SERVICE HAS PRESENTED IS TO PUT A DATA RECORDER ON BOARD, WITH THE HOPES OF MY VEHICLE FAILING ON ME. MY RESEARCH HAS LEAD TO ONE POTENTIAL LINK. BASED ON A 2016 FCA RECALL #16V529000, INSUFFICIENT CRIMPS IN THE TRANSAXLE WIRING HARNESS CAN CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO RANDOMLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AND THE ISSUES STILL PERSIST.
