TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD FIXED (SUPPOSEDLY) AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. CAR STILL CONTINUES TO MISFIRE AND SURGE IN 5TH GEAR. HAD MECHANIC CHANGE OUT ALL SPARK PLUGS BUT THE COMPUTER STILL READS MISFIRE. EVERY OTHER GEAR SEEMS FINE. CAR IDLES ROUGH WHILE STOPPED AND IF YOU LET FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT SHAKES LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL TO PIECES. I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND ITS SPENT MORE TIME IN THE SHOP OR SITTING THAN I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE.

MY CAR BARELY HAD ANY ACCELERATION AND IT WAS HESITATING AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY REPLACE 4 SPARKPLUGS. ANOTHER TEST WAS REDONE, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF AND ALL SEEMED WELL. AFTER ABOUT 30 MILES BEGAN TO SPUTTER YET THE VIBRATING WAS NOT AS BAD; STILL HESITATION AND NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. WEDNESDAY, MY FOB WOULD NOT START MY CAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL START THE CAR BUT THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF BEFORE I CAN GET IN. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. THE MECHANIC WANTS TO START REPLACING ONE COIL AT A TIME. HE ALSO SAID THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A 2015. (MY CAR FLOODED IN AUGUST 2016 AND I PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2016)
CAR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY DURING DRIVING. NO BRAKES STEERING OR ANYTHING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IN THIS CAR. DEALER CAN'T FIX PROBLEMS. WILL JUST HAPPEN.

CAR HAS TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE. WELL BELOW GOVT AVERAGE/WINDOW STICKER. I WAS ONLY GETTING 17 MPG WHERE THE MIN CITY RATING WAS 23. AFTER MANY VISITS TO THE DEALER AND DEALING WITH THE TERRIBLE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE SERVICE DEPT FINALLY DID THE TSB THAT DEALT WITH THE TRANSMISSION CALIBRATION. THEY REFLASHED/UPDATED THE TRANS SOFTWARE AND NOW I'M GETTING 24 MPG WHICH IS THE BARE MINIMUM I BASICALLY SHOULD GET. HIGHWAY IS STILL FAIRLY BELOW SPECS AND I DO NOT GET NEAR THE COMBINED 28 MPG EITHER. I HAD ALMOST 4700 MILES ON THE CAR BEFORE THEY REALIZED THEY NEEDED TO DO THE TSB ON IT. NOW OF COURSE AFTER SPENDING MUCH MORE MONEY ON GAS THAN I SHOULD HAVE, CHRYSLER DOESN'T CARE AT ALL AND BASICALLY LAUGHED AT ME WHEN I ASKED FOR FAIR COMPENSATION SINCE IT WAS THEIR FAULT THEY LET A CAR OUT OF THE FACTORY THAT WAS NOT CALIBRATED CORRECTLY NOR DID THE DEALER DO THE TSB BEFORE THE CAR WAS SOLD. I DOUBT I'LL EVER BUY ANOTHER FCA VEHICLE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. ALSO THE CAR HAD JERKY TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT PROMPTED THEM TO LOOK INTO THE TRANS TO BEGIN WITH THEN THEY FOUND THE TSB INFO.

THE CAR DOES NOT GET THE MILES PER GALLON AS STATED, I BELIEVE BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. MY ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN ON AUG 23, BUT THIS TIME IT WAS FOR A UPDATE THEN IT LEAD TO NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 15 TIMES NOW FOR VARIOUS ISSUES SINCE PURCHASE IN SEPT 14' AND GOING BACK IN AGAIN IN A COUPLE DAYS.

WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL IT WILL NOT HOLD SPEED GOING DOWN HILL - WILL SHIFT DOWN MORE THAN ONCE & WILL GO UP TO 60+ MILES PER HOUR. GOING OVER A SMALL HILL WILL SHIFT DOWN MORE THAN ONCE USUALLY - NOT ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO CHANGE TO THE PROBLEM. WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR THE TACH STAYS VERY HIGH & WILL DECREASE AS YOU SHIFT INTO REVERSE, BUT NOT ENOUGH. HAVE TO HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE ALL THE TIME. WHEN LEAVING FROM A STOP SIGN THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO "IN" RIGHT AWAY - IT TAKES A BIT TO ACTUALLY "GO".. AS YOU'RE PULLING ONTO A HIGHWAY.

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
