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.

Had just filled gas tank (1st time since we purchased the vehicle on 6/9/21). Stopped at traffic light. Engine quit and dashboard message advised to put car in park and push start button. Car started but quit almost immediately. While in park tried to rev engine, but got minimal response. When traffic light changed, proceeded forward. "Transmission Service Needed" message appeared, and D (Drive) on gearshift and on dashboard started blinking. Check Engine light was, (and remains) on. Car quit 3rd time, same "Transmission Service Needed" message appeared. When I got home, put car in reverse to back into driveway, got aloud clunking sound. Shut off engine and kept it off for 30-40 minutes. Started the car again and took it around the block, but none of the previous issues repeated.

Much like other recalls for PTU's on similar models in the same year, mine is having problems with the power transfer unit (PTU) rumbling from the rear while decelerating and applying the electric brake automatically. I feel the manufacturer made a band aid change to the programming by applying the electric brake rather than being forced to replace the faulty PTU in a safety recall. Ultimately this puts my safety at risk and leaves me financially responsible for a faulty PTU. This problem is described in the website below, which led me to this form: https://www.mrblaw.com/blog/2020/06/jeep-recalls-cherokees-for-dangerous-fault-in-power-transfer-unit/

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 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RECALLED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR DELAYED AUTOMATIC GEAR SWITCHING. COMPLAINTS OF THESE OCCURRENCES ARE NOTORIOUSLY DOCUMENTED ONLINE IN RANDOM FORUMS. NONE OF THE RECALLS NOR FIRMWARE UPDATES HAVE SOLVED THE ISSUE (AT LEAST WITH MY VEHICLE). AFTER RESTING LEVEL AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL CAUSES THE ENGINE TO REV WITHOUT MOVING. APPROXIMATELY ONE TO TWO SECONDS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY "KICKS" INTO FIRST GEAR. I FEAR THAT THIS DELAY WILL LEAD TO A FUTURE ACCIDENT. AFTER MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE ALREADY, THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN FULLY REMEDIED BY NOW. THEIR SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE ONLY CHANGED THE TIMING OF THE GEAR RATIOS AND HAVE NOT SOLVED THE MECHANICAL DANGER.

AFTER HITTING 50K MILES ON MY VEHICLE I NOTICED FOLLOWING FUELING IT WILL BEGIN TO SHUDDER AND RPM'S WILL GO OUT OF WACK. THEN RPM DROPS AND CAR WILL GIVE NOTICE "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR" MESSAGE. OTHER LIGHTS WILL LITE UP AND BATTERY LITE STAYS LIT WHEN THIS MESSAGE IS GIVEN. (I HAVE A NEW BATTERY SO IT CAN NOT BE DUE TO A BAD ONE.) THE CAR WILL THEN STALL AND STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE IN MOTION AND DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. IS A HAZARD AS HAPPENS QUICKLY AND NO WARNING SO CAN NOT PULL OVER. HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN UNTIL TANK IS DOWN TO ABOUT 3/4 FULL. I DO NOT OVER FILL THE TANK. HAD TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEMS. NO MESSAGES WERE GIVEN TO THEM DURING THE CHECK. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND A HAZARD ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU HAVE CARS BEHIND YOU THAT HAVE TO STOP SUDDENLY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS FOR FEAR IT WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I WILL BE INJURED IN A REAR END COLLISION IF CAR BEHIND ME IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MANY MONTHS NOW. EVERY TIME I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND I DO NOT OVERFILL. I STOP AT THE FIRST "CLICK" WHEN PUMPING. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD MAKE FOR AN EASY RECALL TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECOMES MORE SERIOUS THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW WITH SOMEONE REALLY GETTING INJURED OR WORSE! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE FEARFUL OF MY OWN VEHICLE.

WITHIN THE PAST YEAR MY ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE SEIZED. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED AND PARKING BRAKE REPLACED. MECHANIC STATED BRAKE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO WATER GETTING TO THE PART. THIS PAST WEEK WHILE AWAY ON BUSINESS 3.5 HOURS FROM HOME THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED WHEN CAR WAS PARKED AND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED FROM THE MOTEL TO A GARAGE. IT WAS NOT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC FOUND A SERVICE MEMO #08-060-16 REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON MY JEEP. HE KNEW I NEEDED TO GET HOME THAT DAY SO MY ELECTRONIC BRAKE WAS UNHOOKED SO I COULD DRIVE. HE STATED THAT WATER AGAIN WAS THE ISSUE. THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE BACK WINDOW THAT CAUSES WATER TO POOL IN THE PARKING BRAKE WHICH THIS TIME SHORTED THE COMPUTER THAT RUNS THE SWITCH FOR THE BRAKE. HE ALSO STATED THAT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE IF I HAD MANAGED TO DISENGAGE THE BRAKE AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE. AFTER RESEARCH I SEE THIS IS A CONTINUING ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE YEAR AND MODEL.

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
