I PURCHASED THE CAR AND NOT 6 MONTHS LATER THEY DID A RECALL ON IT. AFTER THIS THE CAR WOULD ALWAYS COMPLETELY SKIP SECOND GEAR WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. SO BAD THAT IT SHUTTERS BACK AND FORTH WHEN STOPPING, WHICH STARTLES ME AND SOMETIMES ITS HARD TO RUN INTO PEOPLE OR OBJECTS. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE CHRYSLER FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THEY TELL ME IT'S FINE. THE SERVICE PEOPLE ALL AGREE THAT IT'S A HUGE PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO COVER THIS UP. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A SLOW ROLL, A YIELD, AND TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, THE CAR SHIFTS ERRATICALLY. THE CAR WILL BE IN 3RD GEAR, WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN SECOND GEAR BUT IT WON'T DOWNSHIFT, THE CAR WILL LITERALLY PROPEL YOU WHEN THERE IS A SLIGHT ACCELERATION OF THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT SHIFTS INTO FIRST LIKE YOU'RE IN A RACE CAR. AT THIS POINT IT'S HARD TO MAINTAIN BEING IN THE LANE YOU'RE TRYING TO BE IN. NOT ONLY IS THIS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BUT ALSO NOBODY WANTS TO RIDE IN MY NEW CAR BECAUSE THE RIDE IS SO ROUGH. IT'S APPOINTING AND ABSOLUTELY UNETHICAL THE WAY CHRYSLER IS TREATING ME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH MONEY I SAVED FROM DEPLOYING TO AFGHANISTAN AND ALL FOR NOTHING. WHEN I THINK ABOUT TRADING THE CAR IN, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE TO GIVE ME EVEN LESS MONEY FOR THE CAR BECAUSE IT SHIFTS HOW IT DOES EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER SAYS IT'S SHIFTING AS INTENDED. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS EXTREMELY ERRATIC SHIFTING FOR A YEAR NOW. ALSO WHEN YOU'RE SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP AND DON'T STOP COMPLETELY THE CAR WILL DO A BURNOUT AT TIMES, OBVIOUSLY LAUNCHING YOU FORWARD. IN THE SNOW AND ICE THE CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT VIOLENTLY AND CAUSING THE CAR TO START SLIDING DOWN HILLS. ALL THESE ISSUES HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS FROM 2-5 MPH.

Official recalls

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.

The transmission sensor clusters may have insufficient crimps in the transmission wire harness, and as a result, the transmission may unexpectedly shift to neutral. On August 29, 2016 Chrysler added the 2016 Fiat 500X vehicles to this recall.
Consequence & remedy

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles manufactured January 7, 2014, to September 23, 2014. The affected vehicles may have a Power Distribution Center (PDC) electrical connector that may cause intermittent power failures to certain electrical components.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An intermittent loss of power to electrical components could cause a vehicle to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the C4 connector using a 12 wire split kit for 3.6L engines, or replace the transmission wiring harness for 2.4L engines, free of charge.

Consequence: Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a USB drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge.

In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network. This measure may not have been implemented on all vehicles and does not address access by other means that will be remedied by the software update. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R40.

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
