CAR LOST ALL POWER TO THE WHEELS UNDER FULL THROTTLE GOING UP A HILL. THE DASH BOARD LIGHT FOR A TEMPURATOR SENDER CAME ON FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR WAS LOCKED OUT PUTTING IT INTO PARK. THE CAR ONLY WENT INTO THE "S" POSITION OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT STILL HAD NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. THE CAR WAS LOCKED OUT OF TURNING TO A ANY GEAR. I HAD TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART SEVERAL TIME UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WAS FREE. FINALLY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER. THIS CAN ALL BE VERIFIED BY THE STATE POLICE WHO STOPPED TO HELP THE DEALER SAID IT WAS AS IF A COMPUTER RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE, THE CAR HAD TO BE REBOOTED!~. THATS FINE IF YOU'RE STANDING STILL; BUT NOT TRAVELING AT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COULD COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND IN THE LEFT LANE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO POWER!

BOUGHT THE CAR JULY 2015 AND BY OCT 2015 THE CAR OCCASIONALLY WOULD DOWNSHIFT WHILE IN MOTION. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THE RECALL WAS ACONPLISHED AND THE COMPUTER WAS UPDATED. WITHIN A MONTH THE CAR WAS BACK TO DOWNSHIFTING AT ODD TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE CAR HAS REPEATLY BEEN IN 3 DIFFERENT CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOPS AND IT HAS ALWAYS GONE BACK TO DOWNSHIFTING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT ODD TIMES. I DID GET IT WHILE IT WAS DOWNSHIFTED ON MY PHONE RECENTLY SO I HAVE A VIDEO. SINCE THE VIDEO THE ENGINEERS AT CHRYSLER HAD THE DEALER CHANGE A MODULAR IN THE COMPUTER AND THE DEALER PUT 200 MILES ON THE CAR AND ASSURED ME IT WAS FIXED. THE SAME DAY I PICKED THE CAR UP IT DOWNSHIFTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO BRING IT BACK IN. I JUST PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALER THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINEERS TOLD THEM ONLY TO DRIVE MY CAR. SINCE IT DIDN'T DO IT IN THE 331 MILES THAT THEY DROVE IT THEY WERE TOLD TO GIVE ME MY CAR BACK AS REPAIRED. I TOOK THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD TO TAKE IT RIGHT BACK BECAUSE NOW MY PHONE CAN'T CONNECT WITH THE CAR AND MY RADIO ISN'T WORKING TOO. THEY SAY IT S THE RADIO SO THEY HAVE ORDERED A NEW ONE. I'M IN SALES AND MY CAR HAS 29,000 MILES AND I LOSE THE WARRANTY ON THE COMPUTER AR 35,000 MILES. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I CONTACTED CHRYLSER AND WAS GIVEN A CASE WORKER AND CASE NUMBER,AND WAS TOLD BY THE CASE WORKER THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE 200S. THE RENTAL CAR AGENCY SAYS THERE ARE A LOT OF RENTALS BY DEALERS TRYING TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 200S. I WOULD SEND YOU THE VIDEO BUT WITH IT BEING ON THE PHONE I'M NOT SURE HOW.

IN NOVEMBER 2015, WHILE DRIVING TO VIRGINIA FROM FLORIDA, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, PADDLE SHIFTERS WERE DISABLED, AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A LIMP MODE. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO GAS STATION AND TRIED TO PLACE INTO PARK, DASH THEN TOLD ME NOT ABLE TO PLACE INTO PARK, THUS I FORCED IT TO TURN OFF. I RETURNED TO THE CAR 20 MINUTES LATER AND IT STARTED BACK UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CLEARED ITSELF AND TOOK TO DEALER 2 DAYS LATER, THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG W/ IT BUT MAYBE THE WIRING RECALL WOULD FIX IT BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND A STORED CODE THAT SAID IT WAS A COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I BEGAN TO HAVE HARD SHIFTING ISSUES IN MARCH. I FINALLY HAD TO CONTACT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AS THE DEALER WOULD NOT TIMELY FIX THE RECALL. IT WAS THEN FIXED IN MARCH. THEY DID A LEARN AND PLAY ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IT HAS FIXED THE HARD SHIFTING. SINCE MARCH, 3 DIFFERENCE OCCASIONS WITH TWO OF THEM IN THE TWO WEEKS AND MULTIPLE TIMES ON EACH OCCASION THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, AND THE CAR GO INTO LIMP MODE. THE LIMP MODE IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT PUTS ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET SOMETIMES AND CANNOT GO ANYWHERE. I HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF EXIT RAMPS OF HIGHWAYS, I HAVE BEEN LEFT AT LIGHTS, ETC. EACH TIME WE GO TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THIS (BUT THEY STATE THEY CAN ONLY DRIVE IT A FEW MILES) SO IT NEVER GETS FIXED. THIS TIME, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND IT IS A LOW VOLTAGE ISSUE TELLING THE TRANSMISSION TO SHUT DOWN BUT THEY SAID THEY ARE TRYING TO GET IT APPROVED BY THE FEDERAL GOVT AS A RECALL. I HAVE GREAT CONCERNS OF THIS CAR, I HAVE PAID $32,000 FOR A NEW CAR AND IT LEAVES ME VERY VULNERABLE AND NOT SAFE AT ALL!

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.

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
