ENTERPRISE AUTO SALES SOLD ME THIS CHRYSLER 200 WITH AN OPEN WARRANTY ON IT, WHICH I DISCOVERED LATER ON. FROM THE TIME I DROVE IT HOME, THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVING ERRATICALLY, SURGING OR RACING IDLE AND LURCHING FROM A STOPPED AND/OR SLOW MPH. IT HAS ALSO BEHAVED AS THOUGH ITS SUDDENLY IN IDLE ONLY ONE TO JUMP BACK INTO GEAR. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE TCM RECALL AND THAT HASN'T REMEDIED THE PROBLEM. THEN A NEW SAFETY RECALL WAS RELEASED AND THERE IS NO DATE ON WHEN THE MOST RECENT ISSUES WILL BE FIXED. I SAW THAT MY VEHICLE WAS POTENTIALLY LISTED UNDER THE CONSENT AGREEMENT'S BUY-BACK OPTION FOR OWNERS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A BUY-BACK PROGRAM AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT WITHIN THE CONSENT AGREEMENT. I REQUESTED ANOTHER DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OTHER DEPARTMENT. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR AND WAS FLATLY DENIED BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAD A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT. I HAVEN'T EVER DEALT WITH A CSR THAT HOSTILE. I'M SURPRISED SHE WORKS WITH CUSTOMERS. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE. DEFINITELY BUYERS REMORSE HERE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL. CHRYSLER HAS HAD MORE THAN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO EITHER REPAIR OR REFUND THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD REPURCHASE IT FROM ME SO I CAN INVEST IN SOMETHING ELSE. AND AS A SIDE NOTE: I HAVE MANAGED TO TRACK DOWN ALL OF HE WORK ORDERS COMPLETED ON THIS CAR EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST SAFETY RECALL, AND ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER'S RECORDS, IT WAS REPAIRED BY A RENTAL COMPANY WHO IS NOW DEFUND. VERY SHADY.

MY VEHICLE IS NOW A YEAR OLD AND WAS PURCHASED WITH 54 MILES ON THE CAR. PURCHASE COMPLETE IN JUNE, BY SEPTEMBER VEHICLE NEEDED THE MOTOR REPLACED (SO DISAPPOINTING AND SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE). THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING AMID TRAFFIC WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT ISSUE AND YET MORE STALLING NOW THAN BEFORE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS LEMON AND NOT MUCH HELP HAS BEEN GIVEN AT ALL. AS I TYPE NOW THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE CAR IS THAT THE CAR STALLS DISPLAYING THE BATTERY LIGHT BUT STARTS BACK UP. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND OF COURSE THEY STATED THE SAME THING (OH THE BATTERY MUST BE REPLACED) AT THE EXPENSE OF $390 WHICH I REFUSED THOSE SERVICES. WENT TO GET BATTERY TESTED FROM A SECOND OPINION AND THE BATTERY LIFE WAS FINE AND WAS NOT DIE TO BE REPLACED. NOW WHEN THE CAR STALLS IT DISPLAYS THE BATTERY LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT, POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE AND SHUTS OFF. WELL TO TOP THAT PROBLEM AND THE 3 OR FOURTH TIME OF STALLING DEPENDING ON THE DISTANCE, CAR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES DISPLAYING BRAKING SYSTEM NOTIFICATION WHEN THE CAR NOW DOES NOT SHIFT INTO AND GEARS. THE AIR/HEATING SYSTEM, RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC STILL WORKS BUT CAR CAN'T GO INTO PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, OR LOW. I EMAILED CHRYSLER ALONG WITH PICTURES AND OF COURSE I AM YET TO GET A REPLY.

I TURNED MY CAR OFF HOPING THAT WOULD HELP, BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS FROM PARK. I GOT TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. TODAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WERE GOING TO RESET SOME COMPUTER DRIVE AND I "SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO THIS AFTERNOON". I TOLD THAT LADY THERE'S A RECALL ON CHRYSLERS FOR THAT VERY ISSUE AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE THAT CAR UNTIL IT'S FIXED. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. I'VE BARELY HAD IT A YEAR. SHE TOLD ME THAT RIGHT NOW THEY CAN'T FIX IT. IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT THEN CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BUY BACK ALL OF THESE CARS FROM THE PEOPLE GOT SCAMMED INTO BUYING THEM. I'VE HAD ENGINE TROUBLE FROM THIS CAR FROM DAY 1.

Official recalls
8May 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.

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
