IT?S BEEN AT LEAST 8MONTHS SINCE I?VE DRIVEN MY OWN CAR BECAUSE OF ALL THE SAFETY HAZARDS ON IT AND I AM PREGNANT. I FEEL TO SCARED TO DRIVE IT THINKING THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE THE CAR WANTS TO ACT UP. SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I HAD FINANCED THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD POP ON AND OFF. THE CAR STARTED TO STAY AT A CERTAIN SPEED LIMIT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO MATTER HOW HARD OR LONG I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WOULD THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THIS WAS ONGOING FOR MONTHS.. IT WAS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND I DIDN?T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A NEW CAR AFTER JUST FINANCING ONE AND BEING YOUNG IN THE MILITARY. I HAD TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD COME UP BECAUSE THE SENSOR FOR MY OIL WASN'T READING AND IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME UP BECAUSE SOMEONE IN THE BACKSEAT MUST'VE STEPPED ON IT AND IT WOULD STILL WORK BUT THE LIGHT WOULD BE THERE. A LOT OF [XXX] BUT AT THE TIME I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH SO I WENT OFF OF WHAT THEY SAID. LATER ON THE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF. FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTH I BELIEVE I HAD REPLACED MY LIGHTS 8 TIMES THINKING THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO CHANGE IT THAT OFTEN. AGAIN I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS. BUT AFTER GETTING IT CHECKED THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME I HAVE WIRING ISSUES AND I MY HEAD LIGHTS AND HIGHBEAMS DON?T WORK ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. AND AFTER LETTING A FRIEND USE MY CAR FOR A DAY I BELIEVE THEY'VE GONE OUT COMPLETELY. TODAY I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR LITERALLY 5MIN AWAY FROM MY HOUSE TO THE STORE TO JUST TURN IT ON AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. OH AND MY BATTERY HAS GONE OUT BEFORE ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST AND IT DID THAT TO ME TODAY WHILE I WAS ON A HILL WHICH WAS REALLY DANGEROUS.

I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 THAT HAS BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUE WITH THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND NOW THE LIGHTS ARE GOING COMPLETELY OUT. I THOUGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS THE ONLY FEATURE AFFECTED UNTIL TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OUT AS WELL CREATING A VERY BAD SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. I JUST CHECK IT FOR RECALLS BUT DID NOT FIND MY VEHICLE HOWEVER THERE ARE OTHER EARLIER MODELS THAT APPEAR TO BE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE THAT WERE COVERED BY RECALL IS THERE ANY WAY THAT A RECALL MAY BE ARRIVING ON THIS VEHICLE? I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY BEFORE ALL OF THIS STARTED AS WELL AS A CODE WAS TRIPPED FOR FAULTY COOLANT SENSOR AS WELL. ALL MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING TIRES PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED AND ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AS WELL.

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
