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.

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.

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.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, MY VEHICLE DINGED AND THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY SHOWED SERVICE SHIFTER. I LOOK AT THE GEAR SHIFT, WHICH WAS STILL IN DRIVE, AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO AT RANDOM TIMES: ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING, WHILE AT STOP SIGNS, WHEN STARTING THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY. SOMETIMES I WILL GO WEEKS WITHOUT A PROBLEM, OTHER TIMES I WILL GO MINUTES. THE CURRENT WORK AROUND IS TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AT AROUND 29K MILES OR SO. HAD IT SERVICED AT A JEEP DEALER WITH MY MAXCARE WARRANTY AND I'M NOW AT 33K MILES AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER CAME BACK ON. I'VE READ ON FORUMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. I'M PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND IT'S RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE AFTER GETTING IT FIXED. THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON IT WASN'T READING THAT IT WAS IN PARK. NOW IT COMES ON WHENEVER I'M DRIVING. I'VE READ THAT THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED SOME PEOPLE TO HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING LIGHT. COMES ON PERIODICALLY. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT DOES NOT CHANGE IT AT ALL. STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING CAR AND HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. I'VE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND DONE REGULAR MAINTENANCE, NONE OF WHICH HAVE HELPED THE SITUATION. I HAVE NOT HAD THE SHIFTER SERVICE YET BECAUSE THE LIGHT EVENTUALLY GOES AWAY. HOWEVER I'M VERY WORRIED.

MY CAR STARTED UP FINE THEN I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND MY CAR LITERALLY STOPPED AND DIED . I TURNED THE KEY AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START UP . I WAITED AGAIN AND IT STILL WOULDN'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY SO I HAD SOMEONE USE JUMPER CABLES I WAITED A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND MY CAR STARTED UP . THEN THE NEXT DAY I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP THEN MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD WHEN THE OIL GETS TO LOW THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DIES THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS , THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT'S VERY COMMON IN MY TYPE OF JEEP. SO I'VE BEEN CHECKING MY OIL AND EVERY 2 DAYS I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR BECAUSE I'M SCARED THAT MY CAR WILL STOP ON A MAJOR HIGH WAY .BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE OIL IS GOING IN MY CAR .

I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE GETTING READY FOR WORK WHEN A MESSAGE READING 'SERVICE SHIFTER' APPEARED WHILE THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTING SETTINGS LIT UP. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT'S BEEN A COMMON THING HAPPENING TO OTHER JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS. I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY, STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOW I CAN'T GO TO WORK UNTIL IT IS FIXED BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED THAT IF I DRIVE AROUND TOO MUCH A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE MAY OCCUR.

SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE PAST YEAR. HAD IN 6 MONTHS AGO AND THEY TOLD ME IT JUST NEEDED A "SOFTWARE UPDATE". NOW 6 MONTHS LATER THEY SAY IT NEED A NEW SHIFTER AN WIRE HARNESS FOR $500.

OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR, MY BATTERY HAS DIED (OCT), MY HARSH COLD START NEEDED REPLACEMENT (NOV), MY RADIO COMPLETELY DIED AND COULD NOT BE UPDATED (DEC) AND RECENTLY WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS AND BY FAR THE MOST CONCERNING IS THAT MY JEEP WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOPPING FOR ONLY A MINUTE. THIS IS NOT SUE RO LOW OIL OR ANYTHING OF MY OWN DOING. IT WILL TELL ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEN INTO GEAR. YESTERDAY WAS THE MOST CONCERNING AS IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND NOTHING WORKING, STEERING, LIGHTS NOTHING AT ALL ON THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK BUT MY KEYS WOULDN'T EVEN BE RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER WHO THEN STATED THEY CAN'T FIND A CODE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, THE OIL IS PERFECTLY FINE AND THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BC IT COULD BE ANYTHING. I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS IS ELECTRICAL IN SOME WAY AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF SOME KIND AS I HAVE FOUND 100S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME CAR AND SAME ENGINE TYPE. IT IS DANGEROUS THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT PUTTING A RECALL ON WHATEVER IS GOING ON OR AT LEAST TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS ALL JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRADE THIS CAR IN OR GET ANOTHER ONE WITH MY FINANCIAL SITUATION AND MY ENTIRE BUSINESS IS RUN OFF OF ME DRIVING. I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED AS IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN A BLIND CURVE WHERE PEOPLE FLY THROUGH AT OVER 55 MPH. I HAD TO HAVE AN OFFICER COME AND SIT BEHIND ME I WAS SO SCARED AS THE CAR WOULD DO NOTHING AT ALL!!!! I HOPE IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT THEIR FAMILY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND KNOWS TO SUE CHRYSLER FOR EVERYTHING WHEN AN ACCIDENT RESULTS IN SOMEONE'S DEATH!!! *TR

WHENEVER ENROUTE THE CAR BATTERY OR WHATEVER THE ISSUE MAY BE ELECTICALLY WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL, RENDERING THE VEHICLE DEAD. EVEN WITH TURNING OFF THE CAR AND STARTING IT, THE PROCESS TAKES THREE TO FOUR TRIES. ITLL HAPPEN RANDOMLY SOMETIMES AT LIGHT INTERSECTIONS, MAKING TURNS, EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS EVEN AFTER OIL CHANGE AND TWO BATTERY EXCHANGES. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TWICE, ONCE GOING THROUGH A LIGHT DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, AND THE SECOND WAS PASSING ON THE OVERPASS. THERE HASNT BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES YET BUT THERE HAS BEEN A VAST AMOUNT OF CLOSE CALLS.
