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.

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.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. 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.

WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP CAR HESITATES OR JERKS, SOMETIMES CLUNKS OR GRINDS. DOES THE SAME THING WHEN TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE, PULLING OUT AT A STOP LIGHT DOES THE SAME THING. I BELIEVE IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION AS THE CAR SEEMS NOT TO WANT TO SHIFT CORRECTLY AND MAKES ROUGH, JUMPY GRINDING NOISES DOES THIS MOST OF TIME TIME YOU DRIVE IT AND HAS FOR ALONG TIME.

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE AND FOR SOME REASON WHEN IT GETS COLD OUTSIDE. MY CAR WON'T START.IN THE MORNING WHEN I GET UP AND IT'S IN MY DRIVE WAY I CLICK MY CAR REMOTE TO UNLOCK MY CAR AND MY HEADLIGHTS WON'T EVEN COME ON SO I HAVE TO MANUALLY OPEN MY DOOR WITH MY KEY. I TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THERE IS NO SOUNDS OR CRANKING. THE MONITOR IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER TURNS ON THEN IT SHUTS OFF AFTER A WHILE. THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR TURN ON BUT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE RADIO. THERE ARE SOME DAYS AFTER A FEW MOMENTS IT STARTS AND THERE ARE OTHER DAYS WHERE IT TAKES HOURS TO START. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE ISSUE. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT'S 30 DEGREES OR LOWER. SOMETIMES EVEN AFTER WORK IT WON'T START AND I WOULD HAVE TO FIND A RIDE HOME LEAVING IT AT MY JOB.

SHIFTER SERVICE WARNING CONTINUOUSLY POPS UP ON THE DASH BOARD WHILE ALL LIGHTS BLINK RED ON THE STICK SHIFTER. THIS HAPPENS DAILY, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF IT'S CURRENT GEAR WHILE IN MOTION WHICH IS A MASSIVE LIABILITY AND DANGER TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. I HAD THE SHIFTER REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES AND THE WARNING LIGHT RETURNED AGAIN AT 40,000 MILES. THERE IS NOW AN "ELECTRICAL" WIRING ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND CERTAIN ASPECTS WERE RECALLED BUT NOT THE ENTIRE SHIFTER. IF I WERE TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED WHEN THE SHIFTER LOCKED UP I WOULD BE DEAD. EACH TIME THE WARNING APPEARS, YOU MUST PULL OVER WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO BEFORE IT LOCKS UP, TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS AND THE CAR OPERATES NORMAL FOR A SHORT TIME. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN UPON REACHING 40MPH AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. VEHICLE LATER TURNED OFF WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH IN TRAFFIC WHILE IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THIS MADE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATOR INOPERABLE AND AT THE SAME TIME MADE THE VEHICLE LOSE SPEED SLOWING DOWN WHILE IN TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WAS NEARLY MISSED BY PASSING VEHICLES AND ALMOST HIT. EMERGENCY LIGHTS CAME ON AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL TO ALLOW FOR STEERING WHEEL TO NOT BE SO STIFF. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WHILE THE VEHICLE STILL HAD SOME TYPE OF MOMENTUM. I TRIED RESTARTING THE VEHICLE BUT THE DASHBOARD STATED "PLEASE WAIT FOR VEHICLE TO WARM UP TO START.' I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 20 MINUTES UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THEN ACTING NORMAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON REVISING THE FAULT CODE P2172 APPEARED.

IT STARTED WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE RPMS WOULD DROP DOWN SUNDDENLY WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. NOW, WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, OR AM ATTEMPTING TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY, MY VEHICLE WILL STALL, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, THE BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON AND I AM INSTRUCTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. IT TAKES A COUPLE OF TRIES FOR THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN. I FEEL VERY UNSAGFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS I AM AFRAID IT WILL TURN OFF AGAIN AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO AVOID TRAFFIC.

THE VEHICLE'S LOW OIL LIGHT INDICATOR ONLY FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN AND DOES NOT REMAIN ON. THIS ONLY TAKES PLACE WHEN THE CAR IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL AND THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS NO LEAKS BUT REQUIRES OIL EVERY 700 MILES OR SO. THE ENGINE RUNS OFF SYNTHETIC OIL WHICH SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED LESS FREQUENTLY, BUT THIS VEHICLE NEEDS OIL REPLACEMENT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS.
