TAKATA RECALL WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR (ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ACCELERATING) IT SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. IT MAKES A WEIRD SOUND LIKE IT'S TRYING BUT IT DOESN'T SHIFT UNTIL I HIT ABOUT 62 MPH. ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I TRIED ACCELERATING MY GEAR WENT ALL THE WAY INTO THE RED AND I HAD TO PULL OVER SHUT MY CAR OFF AND COMPLETELY RESTART IT. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I BRAKE, IT SEEMS LIKE IT ACCELERATES FIRST AND THEN SLOWS DOWN. I'VE TRIED HAVING SOMEONE LOOK AT IT BUT IT JUST SO HAPPENS IT DIDN'T DO IT WHEN SOMEONE TEST DROVE IT. IT DOES IT 9/10 TIMES FOR ME THOUGH. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL BUT I CAN'T FIND IT WHICH IS THE ONLY REASON I HAD LOOKED INTO THIS SITUATION MORE. IT SEEMED LIKE MANY CARS OF MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR WERE DOING EXACTLY WHAT I HAD BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO THE BODY SHOP HOWEVER WHEN I PUT MY VIN IN TO CHECK, IT SAID MY CAR HAD ZERO OPEN RECALLS. I STILL WANTED TO MAKE A REPORT JUST IN CASE IT HAD BEEN MISSED.

THE CARS IN FRONT OF MY CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP SO I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES. THE CAR INITIALLY SLOWED BUT NOT AT THE PACE I EXPECTED. I PUSHED THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TOTALING THE CAR. THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM IN FRONT OF ME AND THE ROADS WERE DRY. THE CAR SHOULD HAVE STOPPED IN TIME WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE BRAKES WERE THE CAUSE. I HAD NOTICED THEM BEING DELAYED IN THE WEEKS PRIOR BUT DID NOT HEAR ANY SQUEAKING SO I ASSUMED THEY WERE FINE UNTIL THIS HAPPENED.

WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SLIP JUST A LITTLE BIT WHILE GOING SLOWER SPEEDS THE PARKING BREAK AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGES. THIS HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO GET STUCK IN THE SNOW AND MUD MULTIPLE TIMES, AS WHERE HAD IT NOT HAPPENED AND I COULD HAVE KEPT THE VEHICLE MOVING I WOULD NOT HAVE GOT STUCK. I'M WORRIED THE PARKING BREAK MAY TRY TO ENGAGE WHILE GOING FASTER SPEEDS AND STARTING TO HYDROPLANE/SLIDE/ETC. THIS CAN CAUSE HUGE LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENTS IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN. THE MOST RECENT TIME IS APRIL 17TH IN A LITTLE BIT OF MUD. BUT HAPPENED APPROCIMATELY 10 TIMES OVER THIS PAST WINTER ALONE. EVEN THOUGH THERE WASN'T A CRASH, I DID GET STUCK AND NEEDED HELP TO GET OUT.

IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT MY CAR OR KNOWING WHAT CAR IS MINE SHE SAYS NO ITS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. SHE IS NOT A TECHNICIAN AND DOESN'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE CAUSE YET. THEY CALL LATER IN THE DAY AND TELL ME THE BODY CONTROL MODULE HAS SHORTED OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NO LONGER COMMUNICATING WITH THE TCM(THE TCM WAS UPDATED DURING RECALL WORK BUT THE BCM WAS NOT.) THE TWO CAN LONGER COMMUNICATE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOW BASICALLY SPEAKING A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. OF COURSE I AM TOLD NOT RELATED TO RECALL. THE NEXT DAY I GET A CALL SAYING MY BATTERY THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY WORKING GREAT CAN NO LONGER PASS A TEST. SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO CRANK AND START MY CAR( THE CAR THAT WENT IN FOR A BREAK PEDDLE THAT WOULD NOT DEPRESS AND WOULD NOT START) I NOW NEED TO PAY FOR A NEW BATTERY AND THERE IS AN INSTALLATION FEE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. NEXT DAY MY CARS STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS NO LONGER WORK AND SOMETHING ELSE HAS SHORTED OUT. MY RENTAL CAR NOT ONLY HAS TRASH IN THE BACK SEAT BUT A ROACH THAT CRAWLS OUT FROM IN BETWEEN THE SEATS. I GET A CALL THAT THE TECH WHO WORKED ON MY CAR FINISHED AT CLOSING TIME SO TO BRING BACK THE RENTAL NEXT DAY! I'M THINKING MY CAR WONT HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES, I'M WRONG!!

18V332000 · 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.

RQ15004 · 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
