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.

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.

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.

A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
If the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.

MY AUTOMATIC REAR HATCH STOPPED WORKING AFTER A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER FROM A COOLER LEAKED IN MY "TRUNK". I CHECKED THE FUSE FOR THE HATCH AND IT BLEW, I SWAPPED IT OUT AND SMOKE BEGAN TO POUR FROM THE REAR OF MY JEEP (THE TRUNK) THEN A FIRE ERUPTED, SEVERELY DAMAGING MY CHEROKEE. THE JEEP WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND DUE TO THE FIRE BEING NEAR THE GAS TANK I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO THE STREET OUT OF FEAR IT WOULD HURT MY FAMILY. THERE IS A RECALL RE: THE HATCH MOTOR MODULE GETTING WET AND CAUSING A FIRE WHICH I HAD PERFORMED IN 2016. THIS PART IS FAULTY AND ALMOST HARMED ME/FAMILY AND NOW I AM OUT MY DEDUCTIBLE AND CAR RENTAL COSTS. NO ONE FROM CHRYSLER OR JEEP WILL CALL ME BACK.

MY CAR HAS BEEN "JUMPY". AS I AM IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT OR STREET SIGN, THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD TO WHERE IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE I AM BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT BEEN ON SO I DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' FLASHED ON MY SCREEN AS I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED. AS I WAS EXITING, I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME BUT MY CAR STILL LUNGED FORWARD. I PULLED OVER. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR ON, AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD AS I WAS STILL HOLDING THE BREAKS.SERIOUSLY LUCKY TO NOT HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG, I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IT AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO BE SERVICED THIS MORNING AT A DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED AND SAID THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER WAS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE TRANSMISSION TO DETECT THE PROBLEM BUT THE TECH ASSERTED THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT THEY WILL BE HAVING TO RUN MORE DIAGNOSTIC AND LIKELY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND WAS TURNED OFF. I WAS PLACING LAUNDRY IN THE WASHER RIGHT BY THE GARAGE. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED. I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN IT HAD STARTED IF THE ENGINE HAD NOT BEEN RACING AND I WAS ONLY SEPARATED FROM IT BY THE LAUNDRY ROOM TO GARAGE DOOR. I SUSPECT THE ENGINE STARTED WHEN SOMETHING IN MY POCKET PRESSED ON THE KEY FOB. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT APPEARS THAT THE KEY FOB ISN'T DESIGNED CORRECTLY, THE KEY ON THE KEY FOB THAT WILL START THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE DEPRESSED SO ITEMS IN ONES POCKETS CAN'T PRESS THE KEY THAT'S USED TO START THE ENGINE. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED EITHER THROUGH DISABLING THE REMOTE START OR PROVIDING A KEY FOB THAT WON'T ALLOW THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY TURNED OFF IN MY GARAGE WHEN IT STARTED.

WHILE DRIVING, I OBSERVED THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE EACH TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH THE WORDS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION", THE ENGINE REDUCES SPEED AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS FORCES ME TO PULL OVER AND LET THE TRANSMISSION COOL DOWN. ONCE COOLED DOWN, THE JEEP WILL OPERATE NORMALLY UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE REACHES 181 DEGREES AGAIN.
