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.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SHIFTER. WHEN I'M DRIVING I GET ALERTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS UNLESS IN PARK AND I'M UNABLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, TURN IT OFF AND RESTART. A FEW MINUTES AFTER DRIVING THE SAME THING HAPPENS ALL OVER AGAIN. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, A FEW MONTHS BACK THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEN WENT AWAY.

2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4 CYLINDER, BATTERY WENT COMPLETELY DEAD THEN CAME BACK IN A HOUR, THEN SHIFT (ZF 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION) GOT STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY SEEING IT WAS THE WEEKEND. TODAY 12/3/20, TOLD THAT JEEP DEALERSHIP SOFTWARE FIXED THE SOFTWARE ISSUE, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT I MUST HAVE BROKEN THE SHIFT WHILE TRYING TO GET IT INTO GEAR (NOT TRUE) AND MUST PAY $300.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC BESIDES THE ENTIRE HVAC SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED (WHICH MEANT "NO HEAT" IN THE CAR OR VENTING WHICH WAS ALREADY BROKEN BEFORE INCIDENT BUT WE HAD NOT NEEDED ANY HEAT. WHEN THE CAR GEAR STUCK, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION AND I COULD NOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF SO THE BATTERY HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED. SO COST OF DIAGNOSTIC, NEW SHIFT ENTIRELY, AND NEW HVAC SYSTEM AND THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE 100,000 MILES YET.*DT CONSUMER STATED DEALERSHIP IS CURRENTLY WAITING FOR NEW SHIFT TO REPLACE THE BROKEN ONE.*JB

VEHICLE IN MOTION AFTER FUELING. EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK, MY JEEP STARTS BUCKING AND SOMETIMES NONE RESPONSIVE, IT ALSO SHUTS OFF WHEN I COME TO A STANDSTILL. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, I CAN FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR AND THE RPM STAYS THE SAME. THE BEHAVIOR IS ONLY ON A FULL TANK, AFTER 50 MILES IT STOPS. DANGEROUS AS WHEN I AM IN MOTION THE JEEP STALLS REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED I AM GOING AT.

VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING IN THE MORNING OF 11/3/2020 TO WORK. I HAD JUST GONE UP A SMALL HILL INTO MY WORK PARKING LOT AND WAS GOING 10MPH OR LESS. I HAD JUST BEGUN TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW BEFORE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE WHEN I FELT MY VEHICLE LOSE POWER.

AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, THERE WAS A RECALL (CHRYSLER RECALL NO. V69) ON 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE SUVS WITH A 3.6L ENGINES WITH THE SAME ISSUE REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2.4L ENGINE BUT HAD THE SAME EXACT PATTERN AS LISTED BY OTHER OWNERS SUCH AS RECENTLY FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND IT GIVING A WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN BUT HAVING NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OTHER INDICATORS THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP ON 11/4/2020 AND HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS A FULL REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP DIRECTLY AND THEY HAVE STATED THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON (X80- 9SPD TRANSMISSION) THAT EXPIRED IN AUGUST OF 2020.

MY JEEP, AFTER GETTING GAS, STALLS OUT, WANTS TO JUMP INTO GEAR, STALL WHILE DRIVING, AND AT STOP LIGHTS WANTS TO STALL. I BELIEVE IT IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT IS EFFECTING THE TRANSMISSION.

ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO "FIX" ITSELF, THERE STILL ISSUES WITH THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL ON THE ISSUE NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE.
