WHEN I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND HAVEN'T WENT OFF YET AND I HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2020. ALSO WHEN IT RAINS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND I USE MY WIND SHIELD WIPERS THEY WILL NOT GO OFF I HAVE TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT FOR THEM TO STOP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I'VE SPOKE WITH THE PLACE I GOT THE CAR FROM AND THEY STARTED THAT THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THE ISSUES THAT THE CAR PREVIOUSLY HAD BEFORE I PURCHASED IT WITHIN THE 30 DAYS I PURCHASE THE CAR AS WELL.

IN THE MORNING I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHILE SLIGHTLY TURNING AND THE CAR STARTED ACTING UP AND THEN DIED. WOULDN'T START WITH START BUTTON. AFTER PLACING THE REMOTE NEXT TO START BUTTON AND WAITING A BIT I WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AFTER A FEW TRIES. FINISHED PARKING. AFTER WORK, I WAS DRIVING HOME AND WAS WAITING TO TURN AND DO UTURN AND THE CAR ONCE MORE DIED. NOT SURE IF I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED OR INCHING FORWARD WHILE WAITING FOR INCOMING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR. TRIED STARTING IT UP AGAIN THE SAME WAYS AS IN MORNING. THE CAR WOULDN'T START. AFTER STANDING 5 MINUTES IN A TURNING LANE, I GOT IT TO START. FINISHED THE DRIVE HOME WORRYING. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, TIME FROM TIME, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD FLICKER AND THEN GO COMPLETELY DARK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THEY COME BACK ON. THAT IS SPEED, RPM, GAS LEVEL, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, AND ALL OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS. CAUSES DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO RESULTS IN ME BEING UNABLE TO SEE SPEED THE CAR IS TRAVELING AT.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE BRAKING, AND TURNS EVERYTHING OFF. IT ALSO 'LOCKS' THE BRAKE, AND TAKES MINUTES TO RELEASE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL LIGHTS TURN OFF, PUSH TO START WON'T WORK, AND ENGINE WILL NOT START. THE CAR CUTS OFF AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES, AND MAKES DRIVING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT'S BEEN SHUTTING OFF MORE FREQUENTLY, AND FOR LONGER MOMENTS AT A TIME. THIS USUALLY OCCURS ON STREET'S BUT HAS OCCURRED IN TWO DRIVE-THRUS. ON ONE OCCASION THE CAR SHUT OFF MID-TURN. AGAIN THIS MAKES DRIVING INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AND IS FRUSTRATING AND INCONVENIENT. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION SO DRIVING HAS BECOME A RISK.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR STARTING. THERE ARE NO INDICATORS THAT THERES ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. IT JUST TAKES ABOUT SEVERAL SECONDS TO GET A CRANK IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO COME ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET IT LOOKED AT TO SEE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS. NO ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY OR STARTER. I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED WITH AN OIL CHANGE AND STILL THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE THEN FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS UPON MY INITIAL START FOR THE DAY MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE RESIDENTIAL ROAD LESS THEN A MILE IN IT STOPS OUT OF NOWHERE LOCKS THE CAR UP SO IM UNABLE TO STIR THE CAR AND TELLS ME TO PART THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER THAT IM UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THEN IT'LL FINALLY CRANK BACK UP AFTER PUTTING THE KEY FLOB NEXT TO THE PUSH START BUTTON. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS THANK GOD I WASNT ON THE HIGHWAY NOR WHERE CARS BEHIND ME. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON MY CAR AND ITS NOT INDICATING ANY FOR MINE IN PARTICULAR BUT THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2015 CHRYSLER 200 MODELS. MY CAR ISNT UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS OVER 100 THOUSAND MILES.

WE REPLACED A FUEL INJECTOR ON THE 2ND CYLINDER LAST FEBRUARY IN OUR CHRYSLER 2015 200S. WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. HERE IT IS 11 MONTHS LATER WE ARE REPLACING THE FUEL INJECTOR ON THE 6TH CYLINDER. I TALK WITH SOMEONE AT FCA AND HE GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND, REFERRING ME TO WARRANTIES AND NOT REALLY TRYING TO HELP AND OF COURSE DENYING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS IN THAT PARTICULAR CAR. I KNOW THERE CAN BE ISSUES WITH INJECTORS IF YOU DO NOT SERVICE THEM, WHICH WE GOT THE SERVICE, BUT SHORTING OUT; THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULDN'T HAVE FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEMS; SHORTING OUT ESPECIALLY. ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE?

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
