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, axle assembly, axle shaftJul 26, 2018
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 will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front right halfshaft assemblies, free of charge. The recall began September 20, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U78.

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.

Seat belts, Jan 21, 2020
RECENTLY MY SON WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT DIFFICULTY BUCKLING HIS SEAT BELT. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT HIS SEAT BELT WAS FRAYED IN SEVERAL PLACES. IT IS NOW FRAYED HALF WAY THROUGH THE WIDTH. I THOUGHT MAYBE HE WAS BEING TO ROUGH WITH THE SEATBELT, UNTIL I NOTICED MY OLDER SONS SEATBELT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. TO AVOID USING THE SEATBELTS FURTHER, I HAVE HAD TO MOVE MY YOUNGEST SON TO THE MIDDLE AND MY OLDEST TO THE FRONT PASSENGER.*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS NOT SURE IF THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE WIRING.*JB
Power train, Jan 21, 2020
WHILE IN MOTION, ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR MY SHIFTER TURNED ON AND SERVICE SHIFTER WARNING WAS ILLUMINATED ON MY CLUSTER. ONCE I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, THE CONDITION CLEARED AND WENT AWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME ABOUT 6 TO 8 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, SOME HAVE BEEN WHILE DRIVING, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER THE TYPE OF ROAD I HAVE BEEN ON WHEN IT HAPPENS, AND SOME HAVE BEEN WHEN I START THE VEHICLE AND IT IMMEDIATELY SHOWS UP. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED, WHICH IS WEST HILLS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, IN BREMERTON WASHINGTON, MENTIONED AFTER I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON THING THAT THEY WERE DOING ABOUT A REPAIR A WEEK FOR THIS ISSUE.
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jan 17, 2020
TURNED ON THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY ALL THE RED LIGHTS WERE LIT UP ON THE GEAR SHIFTER. IT SAID SERVICE SHIFTER AND WOULD NOT MOVE TO A DIFFERENT SCREEN. CONCERNED ABOUT THIS I GOOGLED IT, AND FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS TO RESET. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED 30 SECONDS, TURNED IT BACK ON, NOTHING SO I DROVE AWAY. 10 MILES LATER THE CAR DINGS, SERVICE SHIFTER, AND THE SHIFT LIGHTS WERE ALL LIT UP AGAIN. I PARKED, TURNED THE CAR AND FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE. WITHIN 6 MILES IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH JEEP CHEROKEE'S AND IT IS NOT JUST THE 2018 MODEL YEARS, IT SEEMS TO BE SO COMMON THAT JEEP PERFORMED A RECALL ON OTHER CHEROKEE YEARS.
Power train, Jan 9, 2020
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 32,128 MILES AND GOT A SERVICE MESSAGE THAT SAID 'SERVICE SHIFTER'. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS AN ISSUE THEY'VE SEEN BEFORE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET, I GOT TO A PARKING LOT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE SHIFTING TO PARK, OR TURNING THE CAR OFF. THEY INFORMED ME THAT BY TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE LIGHT SHOULD DISAPPEAR WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON AFTER TURNING IT ON, THE LIGHT WAS GONE.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Jan 8, 2020
MY GEAR SHIFTER LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP AND THE DISPLAY ON MY DASH BOARD SAID SERVICE SHIFTER THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH
Engine, Jan 6, 2020
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING TO A SAFER LOCATION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED FUCCILLO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 10329 US RT 11, ADAMS, NY 13605, 844-353-7100) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE TENDED TO BURN MORE OIL THAN NECESSARY, WHICH CAUSED IT TO SHUT OFF. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO INFORM THEM OF LOW OIL BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.
Power train, Jan 5, 2020
SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT COMES ON AND P R N D ALL LIGHT UP RED. WAS SENT IN LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. DEALER CHANGED SOME TYPE OF WIRING HARNESS IN THE TRANSMISSION. AND FLASHED THE TRANSMISSION. WEEK LATER JEEP BECAME VERY HESITANT AND STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD. WAS SENT BACK TO DEALER. IT WAS THEN NOTED TRANSMISSION NEEDED A UPDATE, NOW 6-8 MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE IS RE-OCCURRING. THIS IS ISSUE IS OCCURING IN 100-1000'S OF JEEP CHEROKEES THIS MODEL. SO I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU

RACK AND PINION COMPLETELY BROKE WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES
Power train, Dec 30, 2019
SERVICE SHIFTER KEEPS COMING ON MY CAR WHILE I'M DRIVING SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND IT LIGHTS UP ALL RED NEXT TO THE P R N D AND YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR MPH ON THE SCREEN OR TELL WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN MY CAR OFF AND OPEN MY DOOR AND THEN RESTART IT FOR IT TO GO AWAY. SOMETIMES IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. I TOLD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL IT COMES ON AND THEY CAN HOOK IT UP TO THE MACHINE BECAUSE NOTHING COMES ON WHEN THEY PLUG COMPUTER IN TO THE CAR.
Steering, Service brakes, Engine, Dec 27, 2019, crash
I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH UNDER 30,000 MILES ON IT. MY CAR'S STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN. MY BRAKES AND STEERING WERE LOCKED, CAUSING ME TO DRIFT UP ON TO A CURB AND HIT A SIGN. NO WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE CAR PRIOR TO THIS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I AM LEASING THE CAR FROM. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH JEEPS, THAT THE CAR WILL BURN THROUGH OIL VERY QUICKLY, THAT NO LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME ON, AND THAT THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AS A 'SAFETY FEATURE.' I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO PROTECT MYSELF BEYOND GETTING OIL CHANGES EVERY 3K MILES AND THAT IT 'SHOULD' BE FINE. AGAIN, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN OR THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE PRIOR TO IT TURNING OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION WAS REFERRED TO AS A SAFETY FEATURE BY THE DEALERSHIP WHO WOULD ONLY OFFER ME AN OIL CHANGE AS A FIX.
Power train, Dec 27, 2019
I TURNED MY JEEP ON, PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND THE SCREEN SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER. ALL LIGHTS ON SHORTER ARE ON.
Power train, Dec 26, 2019
WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY THE SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE FLOOR SHIFTER ILLUMINATE ALL GEAR POSITIONS. ALSO, AT LOW SPEED, WHEN ADDING POWER, THE TRANSMISSION HAS A "BUMP" AS IT TRIES TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. MAKES IT JERK/CLUNK INTO GEAR.
