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.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2018 Jeep Cherokee all-wheel-drive vehicles. The bearing cage for the right front halfshaft assembly may not have been properly heat treated, possibly resulting in the bearing cage breaking and a potential halfshaft assembly failure.
If the halfshaft bearing cage breaks, the halfshaft may not be able to transmit engine power, causing a loss of drive or it can allow the vehicle to move while in the "Park" position. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.

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.

ALL THE ENGINE OIL LEAKED OUT OF THE CAR AND STARTED TO SMOKE WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WAS PERFECTLY FINE AT FIRST. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED BUT MY ENGINE IS NOW MESSING UP AND I ALMOST GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Engine, Dec 22, 2020
WE WERE TRAVELING IN OUR 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE AND AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF. WE HAD TO SIT FOR AWHILE AND THEN RESTART IT BY PUTTING ON THE BRAKE AND SOME OTHER THING. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT RAN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THEN, IT STOPPED WHILE WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT AGAIN! IT ONLY RESTARTED AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY TWICE. WE AREN'T SPENDING MONEY ON A NEW BATTERY UNTIL WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG.
Electrical system, Engine, Dec 18, 2020
I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER THE FILTERS AND SO ON. EVERY TIME THE AC OR HEAT COMES ON THE CAR STARTS SHAKING AND JERKING WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING BACK IN TO POST THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING WHILE IN MOTION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE SPENT A TILE OF ABOUT 700-800$ ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIX.

IN MARCH, DRIVING DOWN RED ROAD - CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AND THEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. AS IT WAS SHUTTING DOWN, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE RIGHT LANE AS TO AVOID THE TRAFFIC. CALLED TOW TRUCK AND WHEN THEY CAME, WENT TO JUMP THE CAR AND THERE WAS NO NEED - CAR STARTED. WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR THAT I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE OIL IS LOW. PANDEMIC CAME SO DIDN'T DRIVE MUCH - LAST THURSDAY, 7/18, I GOT IN THE CAR AND IT DIDN'T START AGAIN - I WAITED A WHILE AND IT HESITATED STARTING. FINALLY STARTED AND WENT TO DO GROCERIES. LEAVING THE STORE, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, THE CAR DID NOT START AT ALL, CONTINUED TO TRY AND IT FINALLY STARTED. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER 7/17/20 - STILL 1,000 MILES TO GO BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE AND AGAIN, THEY SAID I HAVE TO DO THE OIL CHANGE NOW EVERY 2500 MILES. THE CAR HAS SYNTHETIC OIL - I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE EVERY 2500 MILES AS THE OIL IS ALSO MORE EXPENSIVE. TODAY 7/18, CAR DID NOT START AGAIN, SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. READ ONLINE CAR HAS ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN AND STALLING AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS IT MAY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN. HEADING TO THE DEALER AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING BECAUSE NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THE ISSUE OF THE CAR NOT STARTING, SHUTTING DOWN AND STALLING.

THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE MAKING A TURN (SLOWLY OR FAST) AND WILL ALSO STALL WHILE COMING TO A STOP. THE OIL LIGHT WILL COME ON FOR A SPLIT SECOND THEN CUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL THEN STOP RUNNING BUT WILL REMAIN IN THE RUN POSITION AND YOU'LL HAVE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND WAIT FOR IT TO TURN OVER AS IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S DYING. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AS I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY. IF I HIT A BUMP IT WILL SAY 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT ACTIVATED BUT WILL LIMIT THE RPMS TO 2000 SO YOU WILL HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AGAIN. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND SEEN THE 2017 AND 2019 HAD A RECALL FOR IT, WHY DOESN'T THE 2018? IT ALSO HAS THE SERVICE SHIFTER PROBLEM WHERE ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON AND YOU HAVE TO RESTART IT.

MY CAR COMPLETELY RUNS OUT OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. WHAT THIS THEN DOES, IS CAUSE THE LIMP MODE TO COME ON AND STALL MY VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED IN INTERSECTIONS, AND ON THE HIGHWAY, BEFORE I MYSELF FIGURED OUT MY CAR HAD NO OIL. MY ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. I HAD LESS THAN A QUART. I HAD ENGINE CODES BEING THROWN NONE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH OIL. NO OIL LIGHT ON. NOTHING. I DEDUCED MYSELF ONLINE THAT I NEEDED TO CHECK MY OIL LEVEL, THOUGH I WAS STILL ONE WEEK OUT FROM NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE PER THE VEHICLE SPECS (THE OIL CHANGE NOTIFICATION FROM THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD NOT COME ON YET). SURE ENOUGH, DIPSTICK WAS BONE DRY. I HAD IT RECTIFIED. I HAD IT VERIFIED THAT I HAVE NO OIL LEAK. AND EVERY TIME I AM ALMOST DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE MY VEHICLE STALLS. ANY AND EVERY WHERE. AND THEN I GO GET AN OIL CHANGE WITH MORE OIL. ALL OVER MESSAGE BOARDS, THIS HAPPENS TO PEOPLE. 2017'S HAD A RECALL FOR THIS. 2019'S HAD A RECALL FOR THIS. WHY IN GOD'S NAME HAS 2018 NOT BEEN RECALLED OVER THIS. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE. IT'S DANGEROUS. I WAS ALMOST HIT HEAD ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY 3K MILES FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE.
