I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO 5 MILES AN HOUR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT SHUT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED WHERE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS THE BATTERY.THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR TWO DAYS. FOR A NEW BATTERY. SO I POPPED UP THERE WITH MY FIANC AND DROVE AROUND TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP. I GOT IN MY CAR IT STARTED RIGHT UP. MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED OR ANYTHING. I WENT TO THE SERVICE CASHIER WHERE HE TRIED TO SAY THAT PUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN IT. BUT I PULLED UP MY CELL PHONE PICS SHOWING IT'S THE SAME BATTERY THAT I PUT RED FINGER NAIL POLISH ON TO SHOW IT'S MY SAME BATTERY. THEY MADE ME PAY FOR ' LOOKING ST MY CAR' EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T. I NEVER BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY. I DROVE MY CAR OFF THE LOT AND THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE NOZZLE TO PUT IT IN GEAR. I HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS 'THE BATTERY'. THEY JUMPED MY CAR OFF AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE A/C IS GOING IN AND OUT AND IT SMELLS MOLDY WHEN I AM ABLE TO START THE PIECE OF SHIT. I TRIED TO TRADE MY CAR IN THIS PASSED SUNDAY AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A CONSIGNER AND 10K DOWN. I DON'T HAVE BAD CREDIT. THEY WERE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE THEY KNOW MY CAR ISN'T WORTH ANYTHING. THE SALESMAN ANTOINE STRONG TOLD ME IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. I HAVE 75K MILES ON MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN ONE NIGHTMARE AFTER THE OTHER. THIS IS THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER HAD. PLEASE HELP ME GET OUT OF THIS CAR. OH THE DEALERSHIP I GOT THIS SHITTY CAR FROM IS LANDMARK DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER RAM IN MORROW, GA. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF CAR YOU WANT THEY ONLY WANT TO PUT YOU IN A NEW CAR. THEY SEND ME THOUSANDS OF FLYERS A YEAR TO TRADE MY CAR IN BUT WHEN I DO THEY DON'T WANT IT. I WAS JUST TOLD BY ANTOINE STRONG!

TRANSMISSION ISSUES FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I HAVE EXPLAINED THEM TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REFUSES TO DOCUMENT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW THE SUMMER OF 2015. IT HAD SEALANTS MISSSING FROM THE MANUFACTURE AND SO IT HAD A LEAK THAT RESULTED IN THE DEALERSHIP HAVING MY CAR FOR 2 MONTHS AND ME HAVING TO FORCE THEM TO REPLACE MY CARPETING THEY LET SIT IN THE SUN FOR 2 WEEKS AND MOLD AND TO REPLACE PARTS IN MY CAR THAT THEY BROKE THE CLIPS ON TRYING TO FIND THE LEAK. SEVERAL TIMES THEY CALLED ME TO COME AND GET MY CAR WITH MOLD IN IT AND PARTS STILL HANGING. I HAD TO GET MANAGERS INVOLVED. I CAME TO GET AN OIL CHANGE ONCE AND THEY SENT ME OUT ONTO THE STREET WITHOUT TIGHTENING THE LUGS AND I WAS WOBBLING DOWN THE STREET AND THEY LIED AND SAID THE PRESSURE WAS OFF BALANCE. ONCE MY CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO OIL IT. THEY SAID IT'S LIKELY THE ENGINE. MY TIRE PRESSURE HAS BEEN SAYING ITS LOW SINCE ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. SOON AS I PUT AIR IN, LESS THAN 24 HOURS ITS LOW. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE ALWAYS SOUNDED EXTREMELY LOUD. I HAD A THERMOMETER GO OUT BEFORE 3 YRS OLD. I BARELY HAVE 30,000 MILES ON MY CAR RIGHT NOW. NOW MY CAR WOULDN'T STAY ON WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE IT OUT OF PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY THURS. IT STALLED FOR A SECOND TO START UP THEN IT WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT CRANKED UP LIKE NORMAL, BUT THEN IT REFUSED TO SWITCH GEARS SAYING CHECK TRANSMISSION AND PARK SENSE AND TO PUT BACK IN PARK THEN SHIFT GEARS. AFTER THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY BATTERY CHARGED TO CRANK. THE NEXT DAY I HAD TO GET A BOOST. MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED GOOD, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON MENTIONING A THROTTLE SENSOR AND WATCHDOG PERFORMANCE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS MY BATTERY IS BAD. I AGAIN TOLD THEM MY TRANSMISSION WASN'T SENSING CORRECRTLY AND SWITCHING GEARS CUTS MY CAR OFF SOMETIMES. THE TECHNICIAN SAYS I NEED TO PAY $428 TO HAVE THEM REPLACE MY "BAD" BATTERY FIRST.

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.

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
