VEHICLE SUSPENSION SEEMS TO HAVE GONE BAD. 2015 SEDAN NOW SOUNDS LIKE AN OLDER CAR WHEN RIDING OVER ROUGH SPOTS IN PAVEMENT. ALSO, AWD NOT AVAILABLE LIGHT FIRST FLASHED ON WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN ON RAINY DAY. IT WAS FOLLOWED BY SERVICE AWD INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON. AT FIRST THESE INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOW COME ON EACH TIME ENGINE IS STARTED AND THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT NOW STAYS ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP EITHER TURNING OR STRAIGHT, THE ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING & THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR MOMENTUM TO SAFELY PULL OVER. I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH HAZARDS ON AT NEIGHBORHOOD STOP SIGNS, IN STOPPED TRAFFIC AFTER THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, FREEWAY ON RAMPS, IN THE CENTER OF SMALL & LARGE INTERSECTIONS BLOCKING TRAFFIC, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, & MORE. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 TRIES FOR THE ENGINE TO RESTART. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, & I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE A NEWER CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES DIES EVERY DAY, OFTEN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY JERKY & THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN SMOOTHLY ONCE IT RESTARTS. THAT ALSO HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY UPON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I DO HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS, BUT CAN NOT UPLOAD THEM. THE DATE BELOW IS THE DATE OF ONE OF THE VIDEOS, THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY & HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, THERE WERE A FEW INCIDENTS MONTHS APART, THEN IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT, & FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

TROUBLE BEGAN IN MAY 2019. 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' COMES UP ON DISPLAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. IT GETS STUCK INTO A HIGHER GEAR, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. SOMETIMES TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON WILL CLEAR THE MESSAGE AND SHIFT PROPERLY (ALBEIT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON), AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW HOURS BEFORE IT WILL GO AWAY. EVENTUALLY BOTH THE MESSAGE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO AWAY BUT EVENTUALLY (SOMETIMES MINUTES, HOURS, OR AFTER A FEW DAYS) THE TROUBLE WILL PERSIST. I TOOK IT INTO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON 6/15/19 AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY FAILED 2 OF 3 TIMES AND REPLACED THE BATTERY AND REPROGRAMMED THE TCM. TOTAL COST $312. THIS FIX LASTED THREE DAYS. SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPT AT I10 DODGE IN INDIO, CA. FOR 8AM. THE MESSAGE AND CEL WILL OCCUR RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES AFTER IMMEDIATELY TURNING THE CAR ON, BUT MOST OFTEN WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON CITY STREETS OR THE FREEWAY. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I'M IN DRIVE MODE OR SPORT MODE. THE FACT THAT THE GEARS DO NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND GET 'STUCK' INTO A HIGHER GEAR CAN BE UNSAFE.

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
