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.

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.

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.

Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a USB drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge. Optionally, owners may download the update to their own USB drive from http://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation.

WHEN WE STARTED TO ACCELERATE THE JEEP JERKED INTO GEAR. WE STARTED TO HEAR A CLANKING NOISE AND SOUNDED LIKE A PART WAS RATTLING. SINCE IT DID NOT SOUND GOOD WE PULLED OVER AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NEAREST TO US. AFTER THE INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE PTU ON OUR 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE WAS BUSTED AND THE CAR IS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. PRIOR TO THIS EVENT WE TOOK THE JEEP INTO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TELLING THEM THAT WHEN WE ACCELERATE IT JERKS INTO GEAR. THEY TOLD US THAT THREE UPDATES NEED TO BE DONE ON THE SOFTWARE OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE UPDATES HAS TO DO WITH THE COMMUNICATION OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE PARTS THAT ARE INVOLVED WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. AFTER WE COMPLETED THE UPDATES THE JEEP DROVE SMOOTH BUT THEN STARTED JERKING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. NOW THE COST OF REPLACING THE PTU IS OVER $2000. WE HAVE READ MULTIPLE FORUMS AND FEEDBACK FROM OTHER 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER.

INCREASED PRESSURE RESULTS IN A CLUNKING SOUND AND A JACK-RABBIT ACCELERATION, VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF I TURN RIGHT OR LEFT FROM AN INCLINED STOP. IT WAS LAST REPROGRAMMED DUE TO A RECALL IN DECEMBER, 2020. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPROGRAMMING OF THE CVT. EACH TIME THE CONDITION IMPROVES FOR 100-200 MILES, THEN RETURNS TO ITS FORMER CONDITION AND RESULTING PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
