Power train, automatic transmissionApr 27, 2023
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Jeep Cherokee vehicles. The power transfer unit (PTU) may become damaged and disengage the transmission and differential, resulting in a loss of drive power or loss of park function.
A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. A loss of park function can cause an 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, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 11, 2023. Owners may contact FCA USA LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 45A. This recall expands previous recall number 20V-343.

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.

ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS (3 SO FAR) THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON. BY SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION THE PROBLEM WOULD CLEAR. ON NUMEROUS OTHER OCCASIONS I GOT A "CHECK TRANSMISSION" ...UNKNOWN PROBLEM WARNING. THESE WARNING MESSAGES ALL OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER AND A CHECK CAME UP WITH "TRANSMISSION MODULATOR, UNKNOWN PROBLEM" WAS NOTED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE BUT THE MESSAGES CLEARED ON IT'S OWN (2 OCCASIONS FOR THE TRANSMISSION WARNING). THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE WITHOUT THE MESSAGE BEING ACTIVE.

ONCE I REACHED AROUND 40MPH AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE I FELT KNOCK AND SHAKING. THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO REV, HOWEVER NO ACCELERATION OR SHIFTING WOULD HAPPEN. IT BEGINS TO SPUTTER AND FEELS AS THOUGHT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO SHUT OFF.

WHEN IT FIRST STARTED OCCURRING, I TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT JOHN L SULLIVAN IN YUBA CITY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT GIVING A CODE SO IF IT WASN'T HAPPENING AT THE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN HE COULDN'T HELP. SO IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING EVERY FEW MONTHS SO I DIDN'T WORRY AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING DAILY AND I AM SURE JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THE SAME EXACT THING. NOT SURE IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD OWN UP TO AND TAKE CARE OF ON THEIR DIME. IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME IT'S MOVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED.THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS BUT JUST RECENTLY ALMOST EVERY DAY.
