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 VEHICLE HAS A CONSISTENT ISSUE OF SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER REFUELING. ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS WITHIN A MILE OF THE GAS STATION. THE CAR WILL BEGIN STUTTERING AND LUNGING AND WILL SHUT OFF STOPPED OR EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE PANEL SHOWS A TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT AND WILL NOT FUNCTION AGAIN UNTIL AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK, TURNING OFF THE ACCESSORIES AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE AFTER RESTARTING, AND WILL NOT HAVE THE ISSUE AGAIN UNTIL REFUELING. THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF ON THE HIGHWAY IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND NERVE-RACKING EXPERIENCE.*DT

AFTER FUELING, THE JEEP WILL START SURGING, THE IDLING BECOMES ERRATIC AND THEN IT WILL STALL OUT WITH THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON, SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON, THE D ON THE IP FLASHES AND WHEN PLACING GEAR SELECTOR FROM D TO P, THE JEEP MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHICH CAN BE FELT THRU THE FLOOR. SHIFTING INTO ANY OTHER GEAR DOES THE SAME. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING NEW. WE NEVER TOP OFF THE FUEL TANK AND TAKE CARE TO FILL UP IF TANK SHOWS 1/4 FULL. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER, AT LEAST TWICE, TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION "FLASHED" BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING. EACH TIME THE DEALER (GREENVILLE CHRYSLER, GREENVILLE, TX) TRIES TO CHARGE US A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WHICH WE ADAMANTLY REJECT AFTER THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME. JUST 4 DAYS AGO, MY WIFE WAS TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT FROM A STOP, AFTER FUELING, AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND DRIVE BUT SHE COULD HEAR THE LOUD CLUNK WHEN PUTTING IT IN D. SHE IMMEDIATELY CAME HOME AND PARKED IT AND I CONFIRMED THE CEL, SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT, PARKING LIGHT, FLASHING D ON THE IP AND I SWITCHED FROM P TO D AND R AND IT CLUNKED EACH TIME. I UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD CLEAR ANY CODES AND "RESET" AND LET IT SIT OVERNIGHT AND THIS MORNING IT STARTED UP FINE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE IP. WE TOOK IT THIS AFTERNOON TO PICK UP OUR SON FROM SCHOOL AND IT DID THE SAME THING WITH ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS, CLUNKING WHEN SHIFTING GEAR AND WE LIMPED IT HOME. I'VE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND WILL RECONNECT IN THE MORNING AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED IN SHORT, AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL, THE JEEP STUTTERS AND/OR SHUTS OFF.
