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.

Power train, Aug 23, 2019
WE PURCHASED A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE AND WITH 20K MILES ON IT, WE HAD A SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUE. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THEN WE NOW HAVE A SECOND SERVICE SHIFTER ISSUE. AGAIN WE BROUGHT IT IN, AS WE WERE PREVIOUSLY TOLD WE HAD A TWO YEAR WARRANTY ON THE PART ITSELF. NOW THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS. SEARCHING ONLINE IN FORUMS MY WIFE AND I ARE APART OF 100S OF OWNERS OF JEEP VEHICLES FROM 2016 THROUGH 2017 THAT HAVE SHIFTER PROBLEMS. LASTLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY OUR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BY CHRYSLER. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ALL DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE A RECALL TO GET IT FIXED. THANK YOU
Electrical system, Aug 22, 2019
SERVICE SHIFT LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFT PANEL WERE LITE, WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WITHIN A MONTH. CAN'T FIND A RECALL, BUT I SEE IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS. IS IT SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE?
Other or unspecified, Aug 21, 2019
TAKATA RECALL. I TURNED ON ENGINE TO MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 30,000 MILES VEHICLE AND A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' APPEARED ON THE DASH SCREEN. THE SHIFTER ITSELF WERE ALL LID UP RED. WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY WHAT SHIFT I WAS CURRENTLY IN AND SHIFTERS REMAINED ALL RED WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION. I FELT UNSAFE BECAUSE I HAD A TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE AND CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND FEEL THAT IT'S NECESSARY THAT JEEP TAKES ACTION IN SOLVING THIS MATTER.
Power train, Aug 20, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 60 TO 65 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE REQUIRED WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE IN ORDER TO RESET THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAN CUMMINS CHRYSLER DODGE, JEEP, RAM (2021 ALVERSON DRIVE, PARIS, KENTUCKY 40361, (859)-987-5669) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,750.
Power train, Aug 20, 2019
WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN "SERVICE SHIFTER" APPEARED IN THE DASH AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFT WENT RED; WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN, STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY. HAPPENED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY, DRIVING AROUND 30 MPH THIS TIME, REPEATED THE SAME ACTIONS.
Wheels, Aug 20, 2019
THE LUG BOLTS HAVE A THIN CHROME COVER. THESE LUG BOLTS SEEM TO SWELL AS MOISTURE ENTERS OVER TIME. THEY ALSO BECOME DAMAGED AS MAINTENANCE SUCH AS TIRE ROTATION IS PERFORMED. THEY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITH THE TOOLS SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT TIRE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE STRANDED. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE FIAT CHRYSLER GROUP LINE.
Power train, Electrical system, Aug 18, 2019

THE SERVICE SHIFTER INDICATOR KEEPS COMING ON. IT COMES ON WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. AT TIMES IT WILL GO OFF WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR BUT COMES BACK ON AFTER A WHILE.
Power train, Engine, Aug 9, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD GEARS, AND LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE RPMS FAILED TO INCREASE TO 2,000 AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT USED THE LPB READER AND RECEIVED CODE: P0887 (TCM HIGH VOLTAGE). THE CONTACT CALLED EAST TENNESSEE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2774 N MAIN ST, CROSSVILLE, TN 38555, (931) 463-3640), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR ON DASH BOARD. ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR SHIFTER COME ON AT ONCE P,R, N,D. IT ONLY COMES ON WHEN DRIVING AND DOESN'T GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. IT ISN'T DAILY BUT IT'S STILL SCARY.
Engine, Aug 7, 2019
MY WIFE'S JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH HAS STALLED WHILE MAKING A SLIGHT RIGHT TURN. THE DISPLAY SIGNALS ENGINE, AND BATTERY FLASH AND THEN THE CAR DIES WITH NO POWER INSTANTLY. MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS COMMUTING DURING RUSH HOUR THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED AND THIS NEARLY CAUSED HER TO BE REAR ENDED. LUCKILY THE DRIVER BEHIND HER WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND AVOIDED THE COLLISION. NOW MY WIFE WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER FOR 5 MINUTES UNTIL THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. AFTER A LOT OF ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND 90 PLUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE 2.4 L MOTOR IN THE 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT CAUSES THIS STALLING BASED ON LOW OIL LEVELS. SO THIS POORLY ENGINEERED ENGINE BURNS 1 QT OF OIL PER 1000 MILES, THIS CAUSES YOUR OIL TO RUN SIGNIFICANTLY LOW BEFORE THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED OIL SERVICE PERIODS. MY MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND HAS COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, WE WILL HAVE TO ADD 1 QT OF OIL EVERY THOUSAND MILES. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 36K MILES AND WILL NOW REQUIRE EXTRA OIL FOR ITS LIFE, WHICH IS RIDICULOUSLY TEDIOUS FOR A 30K$ CAR. HOWEVER THE STALLING WITH NO WARNING AND CAUSING LOSS OF POWER IN TRAFFIC WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND SHOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN.
Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 6, 2019
VEHICLE, WHILE IN MOTION, STALLS AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED. BEING TOLD OIL BURNS TOO QUICKLY IN THESE VEHICLES AND THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THE CAR HAS ALTHOUGH IT HAS ALMOST COST ME MULTIPLE SERIOUS/POTENTILLY FATAL COLLISIONS WITH MY INFANT CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. NO OIL INDICATOR HAS EVER TURNED ON INDICATING OIL LEVEL IS LOW. HAD SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AT 15,000 MILES IN WHICH ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED BUT NOW IS DOING THE SAME THING AS BEFORE. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE AMONGST JEEPS - WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND OUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN ARE AT RISK AS I ALMOST WAS T-BONED TODAY AS MY ENGINE STALLED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN BUT HAD NOT YET MANEUVERED AND WAS LEFT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE BLOCKING ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A BUSY CITY STREET BUT HAD HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY.
Power train, Aug 6, 2019
FOR THE SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME ON AND ALL LIGHTS ON GEAR BOX LIT UP. PULLED OVER AND CUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND LIGHTS WENT OFF

SERVICE SHIFTER
Exterior lighting, Aug 6, 2019
THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER L LIGHTS UP RED. SOMETIME THE EMERGENCY BREAK SETS ITSELF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY TELL ME THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING HARNESS FAULT REPAIR IS NEEDED WHICH IS ALMOST $300 AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 36,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW; IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. WHILE RESEARCHING I'VE NOTICED MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING TO SAME ISSUE AND THAT'S HOW I DISCOVERED TO WRITE UP THIS CLAIM. I FEEL IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND LOCKS UP. I HAVEN'T HAD IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A RENTAL WHILE IT'S BEING REPAIR AT THIS TIME; I NEED TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO BE DROPPED OFF BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO HAVE IT FIXED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE SITTING STATIONARY, IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND INTERSTATE ROADS AND WHEN FIRST GEARING AFTER STARTING AND REVERSE. (THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR IN MAY; IT'S JUST MORE FREQUENTLY NOW).
Vehicle speed control, Aug 5, 2019

SERVICE SHIFTER NOTIFICATION KEEPS POPPING UP AND YOU MUST STOP VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF AND OPEN THE DOOR TO RESET IT. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT GOES BAD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS HAPPENED A LOT SO WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?
Other or unspecified, Jul 30, 2019
WE HAVE HAD THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE COME ON SEVERAL TIMES SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE DEALER REPROGRAMS OR RESETS MESSAGE AND STAYS OFF FOR A WHILE THEN BACK ON. IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME.
Power train, Jul 29, 2019
WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE STALLS AND WON'T MOVE, MESSAGE COMES UP TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN THE GEAR YOU WANT. SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES NOW, VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A HARD JERK WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS VEHICLE IS GOING IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE FOURTH TIME MENTIONING THIS ISSUE. MECHANICS CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE, BUT DID SEE THE COMPUTER DID SHOW SOMETHING. ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 21 MONTHS NOW. SO UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WON'T MOVE WHILE DRIVING! POSSIBLY CAN GET REAR ENDED. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN.
