MY CAR SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL 6 TIMES WITHIN A 600 MILE RADIUS ON THE INTERSTATE AND ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE TURN IGNITION COMPLETELY OFF BEFORE I COULD PUT GEAR IN PART THEN SIT FOR 15-20MINS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START UP AGAIN. WE DONE THIS 6 TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO OUR DESTINATION. THANK GOD IT WASN'T A LOT OF TRAFFIC. TOOK TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS BEFORE I FOUND OUT SOME RECALLS HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND WIRING. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE ISSUES STARTED SO CHRYSLER WANT HONOR MY RECALL. I'M STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SENSORS.

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200S WHICH I GOT IN JANUARY 2016. I HAD GONE TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT A TRADE IN I HAD AT THE MOMENT. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO SEE VALUE OF IT ANOTHER CAR 'HIT IT' THEREFORE THE SALESMAN FELT IT WAS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP. I GOT A CHRYSLER 200S W/ NO DOWN PAYMENT OR ANYTHING. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, RIGHT? NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND I WENT TO CHECK ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE FOR ANY RECALLS. MY SURPRISE WAS THAT THERE WAS MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR THIS CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT A TOWING TRUCK TO COME AND GET IT. 2 DAYS LATER THEY SAID THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND MAGICALLY THE RECALLS ISSUE WAS MENTIONED AS IF I DIDN'T KNOW. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE BATTERY AFTER THEM LOANING ME A PACIFICA FOR THE INCONVENIENCE OF MY CAR BEING AT THE SHOP. TO MY SURPRISE THE PACIFICA DIDN'T EVEN LAST A DAY BECAUSE THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND IT STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY. THE YEAR AFTER SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND THEY HAD TO KEEP IT FOR ANOTHER 2 DAYS TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. NOVEMBER 2019 COMES AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. NOVEMBER 2020, AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED SO I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY COULDN'T BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I'VE CALLED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND THEY SAY IT'LL BE FIXED BUT THE ISSUE KEEPS GOING. MY CAR HASN'T EVEN REACHED 100K MILES, IT'S BARELY GOING TO HIT 61K MILES AND I'M STILL STUCK WITH A 11K NOTE ON THE CAR THAT DOESN'T EVEN WORK.

ON SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2020 I WAS DRIVING MY GREAT NIECE TO DAYCARE AND WHEN I PARKED THE CAR AND CUT IT OFF, IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP OR ALLOW ME TO SHIFT AT ALL. A NEW BATTERY WAS PURCHASED WHICH DID NOTHING, A TOWING SERVICE WAS CALLED AND IT WAS FLATBED DELIVERED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COMPUTER BRAIN IS GONE AND THE CAR WILL NOT CUT OFF WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON TO CUT IT OFF, THEY HAD TO DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. THIS IS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE POWERTRAIN OR ANYTHING BECAUSE THE BRAIN IS GONE. THEY BUILT THESE CARS WITH NO SAFETY IN MIND. I AM JUST THANKFUL IT DIDN'T STOP ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY BABY INSIDE. AND NOW THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE THOUSANDS TO REPAIR IT.
BASED ON EXPERIENCE, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITHIN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE MIRRORS AND LOCKS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC) ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR THAT MAY CAUSE INTERMITTENT POWER FAILURES TO CERTAIN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

818V332000 · Electrical System:software; Electrical System:wiring; Vehicle Speed Control:cruise Control
May 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: 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.

1RQ15004 · Software Security Vulnerability
Opened Jul 24, 2015 · Closed Jan 5, 2016
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:software
On July 23, 2015, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) launched Safety Recall 15V-461 to remedy security vulnerabilities in approximately 1.4 million model year (MY) 2013 through 2015 vehicles equipped with Uconnect head units (HU) 8.4A (RA3 radio) and 8.4AN (RA4 radio) manufactured by Harman International.On July 24, 2015, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Recall Query, RQ 15-004, to investigate HU security vulnerabilities and remedy effectiveness in the recalled population and to determine whether similar units have been supplied for use in other FCA vehicles.In an August 11, 2015 letter, FCA submitted a second Part 573 safety recall report expanding the scope of the Uconnect RA4 model radio to include additional 7,810 MY 2015 Jeep Renegade vehicles manufactured from September 18, 2014 through June 25, 2015 (Recall 15V-508).Scope analysis indicated that Uconnect radios installed in FCA vehicles not included in recalls 15V-461 or 15V-508 (subject recalls) are not equipped with built-in cellular access or short range wireless communication features and, thus, do not contain the security vulnerabilities addressed by the subject recalls. SUBJECT VEHICLES: MY2014 through 2015 Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Cherokee sport utility vehicles; MY2013 through 2015 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and 4500/5500 pickup trucks; MY2013 through 2015 Dodge Viper vehicles; and MY2015 Chrysler 200, 300, Jeep Renegade, Dodge Charger and Challenger vehicles.According to FCA, long and short range wireless vulnerabilities identified in the recalled vehicles could allow unauthorized third-party access to, and manipulation of, networked vehicle control systems.Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities, coupled with reverse engineering of networked microprocessor control modules, could result in unauthorized manipulation of vehicle control systems. This unauthorized manipulation of vehicle controls and systems could expose the driver, vehicle occupants or other highway users to an increased risk of injury.FCA and its network provider, Sprint, conducted a nationwide campaign to block access to a radio communications port that was unintentionally left open.On July 27, 2015, short range wireless vulnerabilities were also blocked.Finally, third party security evaluation and regression testing identified vulnerabilities that were either remedied by Sprint or through updates to the FCA Uconnect software.ODI identified a total of 30 complaints or field reports on unique vehicles submitted by FCA (29) or received by NHTSA (1) alleging incidents of theft from a vehicle or anomalous performance that the owner alleged were caused by, or may have been caused by, remote hacking.Twenty-six (87%) of these reports were submitted after a magazine article was published on July 21, 2015, describing the remote hacking of an FCA vehicle by researchers who were able to affect the operation of various vehicle control systems, including the service brakes, steering, throttle and ignition.Most of the complaints involved vehicle systems that were not safety critical (e.g., complaints related to radio, navigation system, or air-conditioning control) and did not affect vehicle control.Three complaints reported engine stalls.One owner reported sudden unintended acceleration allegedly related to hacking.None of the complaints or field reports reviewed involved the steering and braking vehicle control effects demonstrated by the research hackers prior to the recall.There were no confirmed incidents of hacking in any of the records reviewed by ODI.The remedies completed by Sprint and FCA appear to have eliminated vulnerabilities that mi
