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, 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.

MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE HAS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. A "SHIFT GEAR" LIGHT WARNING APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD. BOTH TIMES IT OCCURED SHORTLY WHILE STARTING TO DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. THEREFORE, OCCURED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF STARTING THE ENGINE. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURED WITHIN SECONDS AFTER TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT.

HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF CAR AND TURN ON A FEW TIMES AND IT WILL BE FINE TWO MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN THIS TIME HAPPENING A FEW TIME IN THE SAME DAY A FEW MINUTES APART. THIS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHILE YOUR DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING.

EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING MY CAR AND I APPROACH A STOP SIGN, A LITTLE OR NEED TO STOP THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON AFTER 20 TO 30 MINS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO VARIOUS MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IT IS. OIL CHANGE AND EVEN RADIATOR WAS CHANGED. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION LANES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I AM HOPING THAT IS IT BEACUSE I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING MY VEHICLE. A VEHICLE I WAS EXCITED TO BUY. IT IS JUST A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. I SHOULD BE ENJOYING THIS VEHICLE.

THE SHIFTER SERVICE LIGHT IS COMING ON. I CUT THE CAR BACK OFF, TOOK THE KEY OUT AND RESTARTED THE CAR, BUT THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON AFTER AWHILE. IT WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. IT HAS DONE IT WHILE DRIVING THOUGH.

TURNED CAR IGNITION ON AND SAT IN PARKING LOT. ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER A SHIFTER SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARED ON DISPLAY AND ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFT LIT UP. 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH APPROXIMATELY 34000 MILES. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS MESSAGE BEFORE. MESSAGE AND LIGHTS WENT AWAY AFTER SHUTTING OFF CAR AND TURNING BACK ON.

I BOUGHT MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED NEW AND FOR THE FIRST 100, 000 MILES HAD NO PROBLEM WITH IT UNTIL ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, THE ENGINE HIT 5000 RPM AT 45 MPH AND WOULD RED LINE IF I WENT FASTER, I PULLED OVER AND COULD NOT SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RADIO, WIPERS AND EVERYTHING WERE GOING ON THEIR OWN INCLUDING EVERY WARNING LIGHT POSSIBLE. AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN IDLE I DECIDED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RECONNECT AND IT STARTED BACK UP WITH ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THEY WEREN'T SURE WHY ALL CODES WERE GOING OFF BUT CHECKED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND RESET THE LIGHT. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME AT 65MPH DURING A SNOWFALL ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THIS TIME THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP I MANAGED TO BRAKE AND STOP ON HIGHWAY WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ON AGAIN DISCONNECTED BATTERY AND TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER SO AT A COST OF NEARLY $2300 I DID. NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT UNTIL IT WAS RAINING ONE DAY AND BOOM INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS UP AGAIN, THANKFULLY THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT LOCK AGAIN. I TAKE IT BACK AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT RESET THE LIGHT. NOW I CANT DRIVE MY JEEP WHEN IT RAINS FOR FEAR OF MORE ISSUES. FAST FORWARD 3 MONTHS TO TODAY, I AM ABOUT A MILE FROM MY HOME AND THE DASH LIGHTS UP SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER REQUIRED. AND ALL THE LIGHTS FOR P,R,N,D ARE ALL RED, I TRIED TO TURN OFF AND START AGAIN WITH NO LUCK THE LIGHTS AND WARNING STAYS ON, THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER WONT COME UP BECAUSE THE WARNING IS THERE AND I CANT CYCLE IT OFF. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND NOTICED A GREAT DEAL MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AT ALL DIFFERENT MILES. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO AT THIS POINT. I BELIEVE JUST THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP ALONE SHOULD BE WARRANT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS NOT AS LUCKY AS I WAS.

WAS DRIVING, COMING TO A STOP AND SCREEN FLASHED PUT GEAR INTO PARK TO CHANGE GEARS. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND SAME THING POPPED UP. I PUT IT BACK INTO PARK, SHUT THE CAR OFF. TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULDN'T START. THEN I TRIED AGAIN, LEFT KEY ON AND IT JUST WHIRLED OVER 3-4 TIMES AND FINALLY STARTED. AND EVERYTHING WAS GONE AND I COULD DRIVE AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS PRIOR, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND I HAD A SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS BY EACH GEAR ON SHIFTER WERE RED.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AT 56,000 MILES WHEN I TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE. ALL THE LIGHTS FOR THE SHIFTER CAME ON AND THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO GO INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES, NOT ALL CONSECUTIVE.
Other or unspecified, Engine, May 31, 2019
OIL DOES NOT LAST DURING OIL CHANGES, I HAVE TO ADD OIL. THERE IS NOT A LEAK OR ANY ISSUE, IT IS JUST BURNING WAY TOO FAST. MY JEEP WAS CUTTING OFF RIGHT AFTER I WOULD START DRIVING (USUALLY RIGHT AFTER A TURN) AND I HAD NO IDEA WHY UNTIL I NOTICED OIL WAS EXTRA LOW. SO NOW I JUST MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT FULL BETWEEN CHANGES. DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE THIS IS A NUISANCE.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AT THE END OF 2016 BRAND NEW A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY SHIFTER. I TOOK IT BACK AFTER A FEW MONTHS AND THEY CHANGE THE PART ON IT WHICH IS SEEM TO WORK THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON FOR A WHILE. BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT COMES BACK ON SO I KNEW SOMETHING ELSE WAS WRONG. NOW MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR DOES MULTIPLE THINGS FOR EXAMPLE FALLING COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS. IT EVEN GOT TO THE POINT WHEN AFTER I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE THERE AFTER. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND LIFE-THREATENING TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOT KNOWING AND ANY GIVEN TIME WHEN SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED IN TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN THE SPAN OF A MONTH. FIRST ENCOUNTER, WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER TAKING THE CAR OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT. I WAS ENTERING THE DRIVE AWAY AND ALL OF SUDDEN, SHIFTER SERVICE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED AND ALL THE GEAR INDICATORS FLASHED BRIGHT RED. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP,, I PROBABLY PUT LESS THAT 10 MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE IGNITION. PUT IT IN DRIVE, THIS TIME WHILE STATIONARY AND IT APPEARED AGAIN. I DIDN'T TAKE A PHOTO THE FIRST TIME, AS I ASSUMED IT WAS A FLUKE. DIDN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE AFTER THAT TILL TODAY, MAY 17TH. I STARTED UP THE IGNITION AND HEADED ON MY WAY OFF, WITHIN 5 MINS OF MY RIDE, I HEARD A BEEP. LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE AGAIN SO I DROVE OFF INTO A PARKING LOT TO CHECK OUT THE ISSUE. I STOPPED AND WENT INTO PARK. THE RED INDICATORS WERE STILL APPARENT. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE 5X AND REPEATED TURNING ON THE IGNITION, PUT IT IN DRIVE, SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR APPEARS AND GOING INTO PARK AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE ALL WHILE STATIONARY IN THE PARKING LOT. AFTER THE 6TH TIME, I TOOK IT SLOW AND IT DIDN'T APPEAR. SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I PROBABLY HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE JEEP LESS THAN 100 MILES.
