THE VEHICLE WOULD CUT OFF AFTER STARTING & DRIVING A VERY SHORT DISTANCE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE/FLASHING LIGHTNING BOLT WOULD COME ON. ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AND IT MIGHT RUN FINE AS LONG AS YOU DIDN'T ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY & DROVE A GOOD DISTANCE WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP AND START A LOT. THE ISSUE WOULD ARISE MORE WHEN DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES WITH CONSTANT STOPS & TIGHT TURNS OR SOMETIMES WHEN HAVING TO DE-ACCELERATE QUICKLY. ONCE THE CAR WAS OFF FOR A SECOND THEN RESTARTED, THE ONLY LIGHT THAT WOULD SOMETIMES STAY ON WOULD BE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEREFORE, I TOOK THE CAR TO AN O'REILLYS FOR A FREE TEST & THE ONLY CODES THAT CAME BACK WAS P0302 - CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE & P2172 - THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. THE ISSUE HAD GOTTEN WORSE SO I HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE ALL 4 SPARK PLUGS WITH NGK IRIDIUM PLUGS AND THE 2ND CYLINDER IGNITION COIL WITH A BOSCH IGNITION COIL. THE CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE CODE WENT AWAY WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE BUT THE MAIN ISSUE PERSISTS, THE CAR WON'T STAY ON & THE P2172 TACS CODE IS STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE & UNABLE TO DRIVE. THE DATE I'M USING FOR THE QUESTION OF WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENED IS WHEN I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COIL REPLACED. THE ORIGINAL ISSUE STARTED AROUND THE 2ND WEEK OF DECEMBER SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DECEMBER 10TH-DECEMBER 14TH.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 1/2018 I'VE EXPERIENCED ISSUES. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT WANTS TO STALL AS SOON AS I PRESS THE GAS AND PUTTERS ALONG UNTIL IT GETS ENOUGH ENERGY AND WHEN TRYING TO GAIN SPEED THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH JUICE TO GO SUCH AS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NORMALLY HAVE TO DRIVE IN THE MEDIUM TO GET ENOUGH SPEED TO MOVE INTO THE TRAFFIC OTHERWISE I'M BOUND TO GET REAR ENDED. THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND NOTIFICATION TO COME ON. WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND TAKES ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES TO START BACK UP , UNABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC. LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE ( DASH, RADIO) DIM EXTREMELY LOW DURING DAYLIGHT UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING. I'VE LEFT MY VEHICLE WITH A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND STILL CHARGED ME.

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
