CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. LOST POWER AND THE DASH READ "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" "SERVICE PARK BRAKE." I COULD NOT GET THE SHIFT KNOB OUT OF "D," DESPITE TURNING IT LEFT AND RIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER. ABLE TO TURN CAR OFF, AND EVENTUALLY RESTART AND PUT IN DRIVE. THIS SAME LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES, BEFORE IT STAYED IN DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A MECHANIC. FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I READ THERE WAS AN R24 RECALL FOR CHRYSLER 200'S BUILT BETWEEN JANUARY 2014 AND SEPTEMBER 2014, CITING LOSS OF POWER AND HAVING THE SAME DISPLAY THAT I OBSERVED ON THE DASH. MY DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THAT RECALL - WHICH I KNOW. HOWEVER, I TRIED TO REITERATE MY CONCERN OVER MY SAFETY OF HAVING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE R24 RECALL. I ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK AT MY VEHICLE AS HAVING THAT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL, BUT I WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT. THE DEALER NEEDS TO TREAT IT AS A SEPARATE MECHANICAL FAILURE, DESPITE THIS PROBLEM BEING IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. I EXPRESSED CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND MAY FAMILY'S SAFETY, AND THAT I WOULD LIKE THEM TO APPROACH THIS ISSUE WITH THE CONCERN THEY HAD WITH RECALL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME POWER FAILURE ISSUE. I DECIDED NOT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AS I DO NOT WANT MY POWER FAILURE PROBLEM (WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE R24 RECALL) TO BE RUN THROUGH THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT MY MECHANIC RAN IT THROUGH, TO NO AVAIL. AS WITH THE R24, I WANT THE DEALER TO FOCUS ON THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. I SUSPECT THAT OTHER 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AWD DRIVE VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME POWER FAILURE THAT I HAD. THANK YOU.

THE MAIN DASH IN THE CHRYSLER WILL CONSTANTLY FLASHING ALL OF ITS LIGHTS AND TELL ME THAT MY PARKING BRAKE NEEDS SERVICED AND THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS SERVICED. I HAVE GONE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT THAT NEVER SOLVES ANY OF MY PROBLEMS. THE CAR TRIES TO STALL OUT EVERY DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WHILE IT'S TRYING TO STALL OUT TENDS TO JUMP AND ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. ON JUNE 6, 2018 MY CHRYSLER 200 WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THIS COLLISION TOOK PLACE IN AKRON OHIO DO TO THE CAR JUMPING, ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY STALLING OUT AND LOCKING UP THE CAR, SO I WAS UNABLE TO BREAK OR STEER. THE CAR ENDED UP REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO MYSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE LOCKED UP CAR. I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN PROPER MAINTENANCE THAT NEEDS DONE ON THIS CA I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES URGING THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY SEE THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM IT JUST NEEDS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. NONE OF THE SOFTWARE UPDATE HAVE FIXED ANY PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. AND BECAUSE OF THAT MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER.

RECALL # S55 NHTSA 16V529 MY CAR MIL LIGHT CAME ON LAST NIGHT 04/20/2018 WHILE ON THE FREEWAY DOING 70 MILES, STATING THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. ONCE I GOT OF THE FREEWAY TURNING RIGHT ON THE STREET THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AROUND 40 MILES. WHEN I CAME TO THE LIGHT TO STOP THE CAR SEEMED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF, IDLED LOW AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN FOR ME TO GO THE CAR WAS STILL A THE DRIVING SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 40 MILES. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I INFORMED MY FIANC OF THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING. WE WENT BACK OUTSIDE AFTER READING THE CARS MANUAL AROUND 10-15 MINUETS AFTER. HE STARTED THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE WAS GONE BUT THE MIL LIGHT WAS STILL ON. HE PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND MOVED IT FORWARD AND THEN IN REVERSE TO BACK IT UP. THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT HE TOLD ME THAT BASED ON THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY ISSUES. THE NEXT MORNING ON 04/21/2018 , I TRIED TO AUTO START MY CAR, GOT IN THE CAR AND ON THE DASH READ DISABLED SO THE CAR DIDN'T AUTO START. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THAT OTHER THAN WHEN THE CAR IS LOW ON FUEL YOU CAN'T AUTO START THE CAR AND MY CAR HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS WHEN I TRIED STARTING IT THIS MORNING. SO WHEN I STARTED THE CAR MANUALLY IT NO LONGER SHOWED THE MIL LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND FREEWAY BACK HOME IT SEEMED TO BE DRIVING AND SHIFTING FINE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY CAR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING HAS A DELAYED TIME WHEN SHIFTING TO PICK UP SPEED AND THIS IS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR SOME DISTANCE. THEN ONCE IT SHIFTS IT GIVES A JERK THEN IT PICKS UP SPEED.

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.

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
