Recalls and investigations

1. 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. Vehicles repaired under the prior recalls will still need to have the new remedy performed.

2. 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.

3. 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.

BUT SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX AND THEREFORE ITS NOT AN ISSUE AND I HAVE TO TAKE MY UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE VEHICLE HOME AND NOT THE LOANER BECAUSE JEEP WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP WHO ASSIGNED ME A "RESOLUTION CASE MANAGER" WHO WILL NO LONGER RETURN MY PHONE CALLS FOR BUY BACK OR TRADING FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. IS THAT THEIR RESOLUTION, BLOW EVERYONE OFF AND HOPE WE ALL GO AWAY?? WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY? WHY ARE THEY STILL KNOWINGLY SELLING THESE VEHICLES WITH NO KNOW FIX?

7. Power train, Service brakes, Sep 23, 2015

   THE TRANSMISSION SIFTS ERRATICALLY, FROM FIRST TO SECOND & SECOND TO THIRD GEARS. ITS SLUGGISH GRINDING HAS CAUSED NEAR REAR END COLLISIONS FROM DRIVERS FOLLOWING THE VEHICLE, AS IT SPEEDS UP & SLOWS UNPREDICTABLY. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES DURING THE FIRST 11 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. THE 1ST TIME WAS JULY 2015. 3 TIMES TECHNICIANS HAVE INSTALLED UPDATES (OR "FIXES") TO THE TRANSMISSION; 2 TIMES THE TECHNICIANS HAVE CLAIMED AN INABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO PARK THE BRAKES DO NOT HOLD, CAUSING IT TO LUNGE FORWARD. WHEN DRIVING IN "STOP AND GO" TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, UPON APPLYING BRAKES THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD. THIS PROBLEM HAS RESULTED IN NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE INABILITY FOR THE DRIVER TO CONTROL BRAKE ACTIVITY. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN IN 8/15; HE WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT THESE PROBLEMS.. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT THESE PROBLEMS AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THEM. THE VEHICLE HAS 5,100 MILES ON IT. IT CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT THESE PROBLEMS AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THEM. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES TO ADDRESS REPEATED PROBLEMS, CAUSING A LOSS OF TIME TO EMPLOYMENT. REPEATED FLAWED ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS HAVE DIMINISHED ITS TRADE IN VALUE. ATTEMPTS TO NEGOTIATE TRADE IN OR REPLACEMENT ACTIONS WITH THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL, AS REMEDIES SUCH AS TRADE IN REFLECTS ITS DIMINISHED VALUE. THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS TO THE DRIVER AS WELL AS POTENTIAL OCCUPANTS. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN, AND DISABLED; THESE TWO ATTRIBUTES MAKE AUTOMOBILE SAFETY A PARTICULAR CONCERN TO ME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE REPORTS.

    I PURCHASED A JEEP CHEROKEE 2015 ON MAY 1ST AND STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE START/STOP SYSTEM ON THE 3RD. A PASSENGER AND I WERE COMING TO A STOP AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STOPPED RUNNING. THE CONTROL SYSTEM, WITHIN THE DRIVER'S PANEL, FLASHED START/STOP SYSTEM IS UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE START/STOP SYSTEM. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT DID THIS THREE TIMES BEFORE WE GOT HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AT THIS POINT. I DID NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING AND HOPED TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND THEN TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THAT AFTERNOON. WELL I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT... ON THE WAY TO WORK, ON THE INTERSTATE, I STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE SYSTEM DID THE SAME THING. AS I SPED UP THE GEARS STARTING STICKING, THE CAR WAS STALLING AND I FINALLY HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. ON THE INTERSTATE!!! THE CAR DID THIS ANOTHER FOUR OR FIVE TIMES BEFORE I MADE IT TO WORK AND ANOTHER THREE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED, THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AND NO REPROGRAMMING FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY DID STATE THAT THE CAR HAS A FLASH UPDATE (AKA RECALL), WHICH WAS NOT COMMUNICATED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SO FINALLY TODAY, THURSDAY, MAY 7TH, (3 DAYS LATER) CHRYSLER DECIDED THE CAR NEEDED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION BRAND NEW ANYWAY????? THIS PURCHASE HAS BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING AND I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES. I REALLY HOPE THIS NEW TRANSMISSION FIXES THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HOPE A SERIOUS RECALL IS COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT! *TR

    BACKED OUT OF BUSINESS DRIVEWAY ONTO BUSY STREET AND PLACED VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, AS I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE APPLIED ITSELF AND VEHICLE STAYED IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS UNTIL BRAKE RELEASED ITSELF. NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED BY APPROACHING TRAFFIC FROM REAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. *TR

    I HAD JUST DESCENDED IN CENTER CITY HEAVILY CONGESTED TRAFFIC FROM THE ENTRANCE PASS. ABOUT A 2000 FOOT DECENT. I WAS ENTERING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE AND SLOWED FOR TRAFFIC, PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT KICKED BACK AT ME WITH SUBSTANTIAL FORCE. THE PEDAL THE WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD. I HAD NO BRAKES, AND DROVE INTO THE CURB TO STOP THE CAR. THE JEEP HAS NO EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM ONLY AN ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE. I FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM 2 MONTHS BEFORE ( AT 1200 MILES) WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND SHUT DOWN ALL POWER, AND LEFT ME WITH NO STEERING OR BRAKES ON A NARROW MOUNTAIN ROAD, AND ALMOST GO ME KILLED.( DIAGNOSED BY REPAIRING DEALER AS A "DEFECTIVELY MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION" AND REPLACED IT). I HAD JEEP TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER. HE COULD DO NOTHING FOR THAT DAY. CALLED,NEXT DAY, HE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS A "DEFECTIVE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER", MAYBE HAVE THE PART AND REPAIR DONE IN A WEEK. SECOND TIME HOTEL AND CAB HOME ( NOW AT $800) ON ME. BIG TOO BAD, NOTHING WE CAN DO FROM CHRYSLER. THE REPAIRING DEALER RETURNED THE JEEP ON 27TH. SELLING DEALER CALLED TO SAY ALL WAS PERFECT.PICKED UP AND DROVE 50 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO HOWL LIKE A BANCHEE. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A " DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION MOUNT". SAME DEALER JUST REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION 2 MONTHS AGO. STILL WAITING FOR CAR TO BE REPAIRED AND RETURNED. THE 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE IS A DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING ENGINEERED VEHICLE. CHRYSLER CAN NOT HAVE ANY FORM OF QUALITY CONTROL, IF 3 MAJOR COMPONENTS FAIL WITHIN 2600 MILES AS "DEFECTIVELY MANUFACTURED". THE ZF 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS A DISASTER AND CAUSING PROBLEMS EVERYWHERE. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND DEALER NETWORK IS CORRUPT, NON TRUSTWORTHY, UNTRUTHFULLY, AND NONCAREING FROM THE TOP DOWN. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND OR BUY ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER AGAIN AND WOULD GIVE MOST ANYTHING TO GET MY MONEY BACK. *TR
