Power trainApr 29, 2025
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Jeep Cherokee vehicles. The power transfer unit (PTU) may become damaged and disengage the transmission and differential, resulting in a loss of drive power and/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.
Dealers will update the drivetrain control module and PTU software and replace the PTU, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning February 19, 2026. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 01C.

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.

Equipment, other, labelsAug 31, 2017
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Jeep Cherokee vehicles. The tire and rim size information required to be on the Certification label was omitted during manufacturing, which may result in an incorrect tire and rim combination being installed on the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
The missing tire and rim designation information may lead to an incorrect combination being installed on the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners and will provide a corrected certification label, free of charge. The recall began October 13, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T53.

Air bags, knee bolsterNov 2, 2016
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2017 Jeep Cherokee vehicles manufactured October 13, 2016, to October 17, 2016. Improper welds on the driver's knee air bag inflator may prevent the air bag from properly inflating.
If the driver's knee air bag does not properly inflate, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's knee air bag module, free of charge. The recall began November 9, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S84.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE GEAR SHIFTED ABRUPTLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK. IN ADDITION, THE "SERVICE THE SHIFTER" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEITH CHRYSLER JEEP (5500 CAPITAL BLVD, RALEIGH, NC 27616, 919-872-5500) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN UPDATED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SELECTOR BEZEL AND HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER PROMISED TO GET BACK WITH HER WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000.

TRANSMISSION STICKS - AFTER YOU ARE STOPPED AND THEN APPLY THE GAS, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE AND WHEN IT DOES, IT THEN "LAUNCHES" YOU. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT PROPERLY DOWNSHIFT - YOU WILL REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS TO START SLOWING DOWN AND IT SLOWS FOR A BRIEF SECOND AND THEN SURGES. REPAIRED WITH A COMPUTER REPROGRAM ON 5/1/18 AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. JEEP IS WELL AWARE OF THESE TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES AND REFUSES TO RECALL OR TO FIND A REPAIR TO FIX THE ISSUE. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSAND OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WHO HAVE MADE THE ISSUE KNOWN TO JEEP. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017 AND IT ONLY HAS 4150 MILES. I HAVE FILED A CONCERN WITH JEEP CORPORATE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME.

PER JEEP SERVICE THE VEHICLE CONSUMES OIL. WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHT, IT WILL JUST CUTOFF. BOTH TIMES WE EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE LEAVING A STOP SIGN. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN IT DIED. THIS IS THE SECOND PROBLEM IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS A BRAKING ISSUE THAT THE VEHICLE JUMPS WHEN IT YOU LET OFF THE BREAKS AND PUSH THEM AGAIN. THE DEALER DID A FIRMWARE UPGRADE ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT STILL HAS THE ISSUE JUST TO A LESSER EXTENT. I HAVE A CASE WITH FCA CASE #: 33883097 THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH.

TAKATA RECALL; THE CAR KEEP SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING EVERY 2 OR 3 MILES , THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES ON A HIGHWAY AND 2 TIMES WHILE TURNING, THIS IS PUT MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY LIFE AT RISK , AS IT IS UNSAFE THAT THE CAR STOPED AND SHUTOFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADS , MANUFACTURE REFUSED TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM AND THEY WANTED TO USE US AS A TEST MICE, BY ASKING ME TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR 500 MILES TO TEST THE OIL BURN LEVEL IN THE CARWITHOUT CARING ABOUT MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY. PUTTING US IN A DIRECT RISK . OFCOURSE I REFUSED TO DO THIS AS IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE , THE CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE CHANGE , BUT THE JEEP COMPANY DOESN'T WANT TO APPROVE IT , AS THE COST OF REPAIRS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CUSTOMER LIFE, THE CAR USED ONLY FOR 4 MONTH 5000 MILES AND UNDER WARRANTY .

I HAVE NOT EVEN OWNED MY VEHICLE A YEAR NOW. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH STEERING SHAKING OR PULLING. I WENT TO GET MY TIRES ROTATED FOR THE FIRST TIME AT A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY STATED THE ALL 4 OF MY TIRES HAD ALL IRREGULAR WEAR ON THEM ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES ONLY. IT WAS BELIEVED TO BE A DEFECT FROM THE BEGINNING WITH THE ALIGNMENT OR ANOTHER STEERING ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED SUCH IRREGULAR WEAR (INCLUDING THE REARS). PER YOUR WARRANTY THE TIRES ARE TO BE ROTATED EVERY 6,000 MILES. I HAD THEM ROTATED AT 7,292 MILES IN WHICH WHEN BROUGHT INTO DO A WARRANTY CLAIM JEEP CLAIMS THAT I DIDN'T DO THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PER THE WARRANTY CLAIM SO THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS OVER 12,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS ALSO TOLD IF IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE THAT THIS IS ONLY COVERED UNTIL 12,000 MILES. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH MY WARRANTY AND DO BELIEVE THIS WAS A DEFECT WITH ALL 4 OF MY TIRES WITH SUCH IRREGULAR WEAR.

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING NOISE 2 WEEKS AFTER BOUGHT IT! IT MAKES A WHINY GRINDING NOISE. I WOULD BACK OUT AND WHEN I STRAIGHTEN WHEEL TO GO FORWARD, THERE IT IS! AT FIRST, THIS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE A DAY THEN IT WAS DOING IT CONSTANTLY. IT EVEN OCCASIONALLY WHINES WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. MY OTHER ISSUE IS CHIRPING IN MOTOR. AT MY FIRST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, I INFORMED DEALERSHIP OF PROBLEMS WITH VARIOUS NOISES. I WAS TOLD THAT CHIRPING "WAS A PULLEY AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AN ANNOYING ISSUE AND NO SAFETY ISSUE AND SINCE IT WAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND I LIVED SO FAR AWAY I COULD TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP CLOSER TO MY HOME". I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD NOISES WERE FROM EXCESSIVE ROAD SALT. I LAUGHED AND TOLD ADVISOR THAT I KNOW HE GOES BY WHAT HIS TECH TELLS HIM BUT WE LIVE IN NC AND THERE WAS NO SALT IN JULY. I DIDN'T CARE WHAT CAUSED IT, I JUST WANTED IT FIXED. ALL SEEMED WELL UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT ALL STARTED AGAIN! BACK TO SHOP ONCE AGAIN...... AFTER COUPLE OF DAYS, DEALERSHIP CALLED WITH SOME NEWS. THEY DECIDED MY JEEP WITH 9000 MILES NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. FAST FORWARD A WEEK AND HALF, NO NEWS. NO WORD FROM DEALERSHIP, HAD TO CALL TO GET UPDATE AND LOOKS LIKE ALMOST ANOTHER WEEK BEFORE I MIGHT GET HER BACK. NOT A HAPPY JEEP OWNER *TR
