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 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.

ON OCTOBER 10, 2016, I WAS DRIVING ON AN ACCESS ROAD NEXT TO A HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR LOST MOTIVE POWER. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH AND I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER FROM THE LANE I WAS IN. MY DASHBOARD KEPT FLASHING "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND ALSO TO "PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RE-START." FOR TEN MINUTES, I ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE VEHICLE AND BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. EACH TIME I WOULD TRY TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THERE WAS A VERY LOUD RACKET SOUND FROM SHIFTING AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK. FINALLY, ON THE SIXTH ATTEMPT, I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE WITHOUT THE SOUND AND I IMMEDIATELY DROVE MY CAR HOME. I AM DISHEARTENED AS THIS WAS A PURCHASE OF A USED VEHICLE ONLY A FEW DAYS PRIOR, ON OCTOBER 8, 2016, THAT HAD ONLY 30,000 MILES. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY CAR IS ALREADY AT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, AND NOT MUCH REASSURANCE WITH REGARDS TO THE ASSOCIATED RECALL, AS PARTS ARE NOT READY YET. THIS WAS INTENDED TO BE A FAMILY VEHICLE, BUT IF IT STOPS WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL RENDER MY FAMILY COMPLETELY UNSAFE. THE S55 RECALL CONCERNS A POORLY DESIGNED WIRING HARNESS, THAT CAUSES THE COMPUTER TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING.

CAR RANDOMLY STOPS MOVING WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES WHILE TURNING A CORNER. SEEMS LIKE IT TURNS ITSELF OFF, BUT LIGHTS ON DASH ARE STILL ON. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT CAUSES IT AND AM HOPING THAT IT WILL BE RESOLVED ONCE THEY HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE TRANSAXLE WIRE HARNESS. HAVE BROUGHT IT TO DEALER A FEW TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING US IT HAS TO DO WITH THE 20% OIL LIFE. I DON'T SEE HOW THAT WOULD MAKE A CAR TURN OFF. AND WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A CAR THAT NEEDS TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED BEFORE THE OIL LIFE IS UP OR AT ALL.

THE TRANSMISSION SLAMMED A FEW TIMES AS IF IT WERE UNABLE TO FIND ITS GEAR. I HAVE IT AT A DEALERSHIP NOW, APPARENTLY BEING TOLD FLASHING IT MAY FIX THE ISSUE...HOWEVER, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL BETTER WITH HOW THE VEHICLE ACTED OR IF ANY DAMAGE OCCURRED DUE TO THIS "COMPUTER" ISSUE.

AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD A ROUGH TIME SHIFTING. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT VIOLENTLY FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR AND ANYTIME YOU WOULD STOP ON AN INCLINE. WE HAVE HAD ALL THE NECESSARY RECALLS DONE TO THE VEHICLE BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN COMMUNICATING THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL I GET IS THAT WE ARE NOT USED TO THE 9 GEAR TRANSMISSION AND WE NEED TO GET USED TO IT. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN FOR THE FOURTH TIME TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT. ON A SECOND NOTE I HAVE ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN IN TO THE SHOP TO SEE WHY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO US ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERNS ME. THIS WOULD BE A DISASTER IF IT HAPPENS TO DIE WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND MORE SO WITH THE WAY I AM TREATED WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.
