I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. I SAT ON THE SIDE LANE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE. I STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND PROCEEDED TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY THE CAR ACCELERATED LESS THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE TERRIFIED BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY AND CARS HAD TO BREAK BEHIND US TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND IT TOOK A WHILE FOR THE CAR TO START UP AGAIN FOR ME TO PULL ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS DONE THIS MORE THAN JUST THIS INCIDENT. AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET THE ENGINE WILL STALL AND TAKE A MINUTE TO START UP AGAIN.

I CURRENTLY HAVE AN OPEN COMPLAINT JUST FILED ON 2/24/2017 (COMPLAINT NUMBER 10956764) THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT COMPLAINT. MY CAR WAS BEING SERVICED AT FRED FREDRICK'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN LAUREL, MARYLAND ON 2/24/2017 TO FIX/REPAIR THE ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE (I WAS GOING 58 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR INITIALLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING - SEE FIRST COMPLAINT). FRED FREDRICK'S PHONED AND STATED THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED AND THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES/PROBLEMS. I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AT 4PM - BY 8:45PM (NOT EVEN 30 MILES LATER) WHILE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CAR HAD EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT HAD JUST BEEN REPAIRED. MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C, WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATORS, WILL COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IN DRIVE AND I'M UNABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN A DIFFERENT GEAR SHIFT OR MOVE IT. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 24 HOURS I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DARCARS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF SILVER SPRING, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR UNTIL TUESDAY 2/28/2017. TODAY IS 02/25/2017 AND I'M OUT OF RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL AT LEAST 02/29/2017. I HAD TO RESORT TO PAYING FOR A RENTAL AS NEITHER CHRYSLER, NOR DARCARS WOULD PAY FOR THE RENTAL UPFRONT. CHRYSLER SAID THEY "MAY" REIMBURSE THE RENTAL IF IT IS DEEMED THAT THE WORK COMPLETED ON MY CAR WAS ESSENTIAL. IN MY OPINION, A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE SHOULD BE ESSENTIAL - MY CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT NOTICE. I HAVE ATTACHED MY SERVICE RECORDS SINCE MAY 2016 ( PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL 2016 USED) AS WELL AS MY CURRENT RENTAL AGREEMENT. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE CAR STALLED AS WELL. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY WANT TO REPAIR INSTEAD OF BUYING MY CAR OUT SO THAT I CAN PURCHASE A WORKING VEHICLE

A MESSAGE APPEARED ON DASHBOARD: "ENGINE WARMING WAIT TO START", THE KNOB AND BREAK LOCKED I COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD THEN CHANGED TO: "SHIFT TO P." AFTER PRESSING THE PUSH TO START BUTTON ON AND OFF I GOT THE CAR MOVING AND DECIDED TO HEAD TO THE DEALER CAUTIOUSLY, ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER IT HAPPENED ANOTHER 3 TIMES AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO MOVE AGAIN AND GET IT IN THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD IT IN FOR A FEW DAYS AND TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. AN HOUR INTO DRIVING AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR STALLED AGAIN THIS TIME IT WAS DARK OUT AND I WAS ON A HIGHWAY (LUCKILY RIGHT LANE) THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON THIS TIME IT WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. (POLICE WERE CALLED TOO). THIS PROBLEM WAS BLAMED ON THE R24 RECALL, A MONTH LATER I GOT THE CAR BACK WITH THE PART THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN ON 4/20/2016, SAME MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD THIS TIME IT WAS WHILE MOVING AND MAKING A TURN AND I ALMOST GOT HIT HEAD ON BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THEY TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN, SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG THIS TIME, HAPPENED AGAIN IN JUNE,2016 THEY SAID AGAIN NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THE END OF SEPT,2016 AND I GOT A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE S55 RECALL WHICH CAN CAUSE STALLING. THEY KEPT THE CAR IN DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD TO WAIT FOR PART FROM CHRYSLER. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED AND ON 11/6/2016 I PICKED UP THE CAR AND IT STALLED ABOUT 100FT AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOOK IT BACK IN, AND NOW THEY SAID AGAIN THAT IT IS FIXED AND FOR ME TO PICK IT UP. I AM TERRIFIED, IT IS AN UNSAFE, UNPREDICTABLE VEHICLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE CHRYSLER FOR THE SAKE OF SAFETY.

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.

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.

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
