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 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.

I'VE HAD THIS JEEP FOR ONE YEAR EXACTLY BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY ABOUT 3,000 MILES ON IT AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS IT COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE AT ALL. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEARLERSHIP WHERE IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AND OIL THAT HAD TO BE FIXED AND TOOK ALMOST 2 WEEKS. THIS JEEP HAS ALL TYPE OF PROBLEMS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE. PURCHASED APRIL 2018 WITH 17 MILES ON IT. IN NOVEMBER 2018 THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS "FIXED." JUNE 26, 2019 (28,670 MILES ON MY CAR) I WAS DRIVING TO WORK GOING 35 MPH WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I HAD BEEN HEARING A DINGING NOISE, LIKE WHEN YOUR SEATBELT IS OFF (JUST ONE DING THOUGH) AND SOMETHING WOULD FLASH ON MY DASH. IT WAS SO QUICK I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHAT IT SAID. I STARTED VIDEOING MY DASH TO TRY TO CATCH THE ALERT. I HAVE VIDEO OF MY DASH AS THE ENGINE STOPPED AND ME TRYING TO RESTART MY CAR. (UPLOADED PICTURES OF THE SERVICE SHIFTER BUT IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO) IT TOOK ME 10-15 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED BACK UP. DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT MY JEEP WAS A QUART LOW ON OIL AND THAT IT WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" THAT IF YOU'RE LOW ON OIL YOUR ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF....NO MATTER IF YOU'RE PARKED OR DRIVING 70 MPH! THAT IS INSANE!! HOW ABOUT AN "OIL LOW LIGHT" MY OIL LIFE PERCENTAGE STILL SHOWED 20% REMAINING AND I WAS SCHEDULING AN OIL CHANGE THE NEXT WEEK. AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS, JUST LIKE MINE, I REQUESTED THAT THEY CHECK THE SHIFTER AGAIN. THEY SAID THAT THE SHIFTER WAS FINE. I PICKED UP MY JEEP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND DROVE 30 MILES HOME. I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITH THE PRND LIGHTS ALL LIT UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THIS MORNING, 06/27/2019 AND JUST GOT A CALL THAT THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER BEZEL AND WIRING AND DID AN UPDATE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GETS IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE EVERY SINGLE DAY. IF MY ENGINE SHUTS OFF GOING 70 MPH, IT WILL NOT BE A GOOD SITUATION.
Engine, Jun 21, 2019
WHILE IN MOTION, MY CAR CONTINUED TO STALL, 3 TIMES. ONCE ALSO THE WEEK BEFORE. THE CAR INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER A VERY SCARY RIDE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. THERE WAS BARELY NO OIL .. ACCORDING TO OIL DIPSTICK. THE MESSAGE DID NOT INDICATE OIL WAS LOW. WRONG MESSAGE TO THE OWNER. I COULD HAVE SEIZED MY ENGINE. NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE IS NOT THE SAME ALERTING THE DRIVER THERE IS NO OIL LEFT. THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED TO INDICATE LOW OIL LEVEL !!! THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN CAR IN MOTION AND IT STALLS OUT. DEALERSHIP TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL ISSUE. DANGEROUS SITUATION!!!

- 2.4L EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION - NEW ENGINE AT 8K MILES - EMISSIONS ISSUES TRIPPING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT - COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH DASH AND INTERIOR - TRANSMISSION STALLING IN TRAFFIC. - CANNOT MAINTAIN SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL - ONCE PARTS ARE REMOVED FOR REPAIR THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED PROPERLY AND END UP FALLING OFF. FCA AMERICA KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE ISSUES AND CONTINUES TO PRODUCE THESE CARS AT A PRICE WAY ABOVE THEIR VALUE. BOTTOM LINE THEY ARE A FRAUDULENT BUSINESS THAT IS PRODUCING CRAPPY VEHICLES.

MY JEEP CHEROKEE HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, KEFFER CHRYSLER JEEP IN CHARLOTTE, NC, HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I'VE HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST TIME IT SHUT DOWN I WAS ON A MAIN HIGHWAY AND WAS ALMOST HIT. *DT*JB CONSUMER STATED CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WHILE DRIVEN MADE AN ALERT PING WHEN MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT HAND TURNS WITH NO OTHER INDICATOR. FOLLOWING DAY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH WITH OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS MULTIPLE ERRORS ABOUT PLACING VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND SHIFTING (ALTHOUGH VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC). DEALERSHIP CONTACTED AND VEHICLE BROUGHT IN FOR INSPECTION. DEALER CONCLUDED THAT ENGINE HAD NO OIL, ALTHOUGH INTERNAL INDICATORS FAILED TO ADVISE AND SHOWED VEHICLE HAD 17% OIL LIFE REMAINING AND 300 MILES UNTIL SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. DEALER ADVISED THAT VEHICLE IS KNOWN TO BURN OIL AT A RATE OF 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH WHEN THE PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE HAD OCCURRED, WHEN ASKED WHY VEHICLE BURNS OIL AT SUCH A RATE, WAS ADVISED IT IS NORMAL AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AND REACTION FROM DEALERSHIP VARIED FROM IT WAS NORMAL TO MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE.

ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO I WAS MAKING A UTURN ON A CITY STREET AND THE CAR CHIMED. THE CAR NOW CHIMES EVERY TIME I MAKE ANY TYPE OF TURN. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE ENGINE IS BURNING THE OIL THEREFORE I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME I NOW HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IN EVERY 500 MILES TO DO A TEST AND IF THE ENGINE IS STILL BURNING THE OIL THE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.

IN NOVEMBER CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, HAVING NO STEERING AND HARD BREAKING. TOOK CAR IN FOR THIS ALONG WITH AN OIL CHANGE DEALERSHIP STATED THIS WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEY PERFORMED THE UPDATE BUT FAILED TO TELL ME ANYTHING ELSE. LAST WEEK CAR DID THE SAME EXACT THING, CALLED DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER HAD DESIGNED THE CAR TO SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL. THE ISSUE HE SAID WAS THE MOTOR USING OIL AT APPROXIMATELY 21,589 MILES. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS WITH HIM AND ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY AGAIN TOLD ME THE EXACT THING THAT IT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO GIVE YOU A WARNING IT WAS MADE WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. MY CONCERNS IS ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO BE SEVERELY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL IN MY CAR IT BARELY REACHED THE END OF THE DIP STICK. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE STREET I LIVED ON WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE. I RESEARCHED THE COMPLAINT ON LINE AND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 2017.

WHILE COMPANY EMPLOYEE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND ALSO IN TOWN IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. THE JEEP DEALER SAID IT NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE, BUT THE OIL LIFE MONITOR SAYS THERE IS STILL 56% OIL LIFE REMAINING. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY FOR A WHILE. AFTER RESEARCHING, IT APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE VEHICLES HYDRAULICALLY DRIVEN VARIABLE VALVE TIMING. JEEP SAYS THE VEHICLE IS LOW ON OIL, THAT'S WHY THE OIL CHANGE FIXES THE PROBLEM, BUT NO OIL LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNING EVER COMES ON. THE VEHICLE JUST DIES AND THEN RESTARTS AFTER COASTING OFF THE ROAD OR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.
