For years now, my car has randomly, without notice, stalls, says “Shift To P” and goes limp. There’s nothing I can do in that moment besides try to get to safety before the car stops in the middle of the road. I’ve brought it in multiple times with no change or information as to what’s causing it. One dealership claimed I just needed an oil change which it didn’t but to prove my point, I brought it in after it stalled 2-3 days after an oil change. At this point, there’s been zero help or care. It’s only a matter of time until it causes an accident. Other owners definitely have this issue as well since they’re reported on here too. Any help? Or do all of us just lose money or potentially more…?

A MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION; TRANSMISSION WILL EXPERIENCE DELAYED SHIFTS (OR DELAYS WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, DRIVE OR ANY OTHER GEAR THEN VEHICLE WILL CLUNK INTO GEAR), HARSH SHIFTING, RANDOM DOWN SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING AND SLAMMING INTO GEAR, SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING WHERE THEY LOOKED OVER, THEY NOTICED THE ISSUES AND RAN SOFTWARE UPDATES ON MY SHIFTER AND FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED SO THE TECH CONTACTED FCA AND THEY INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP THAT "IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO THAT." THIS IS NOT THE NORM OF ANY TRANSMISSION.

Official recalls

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.
