IllustrationON A FEW OCCASIONS GOING DOWN HILL ON A HIGHWAY, THERE IS AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL STALL INTO GEAR GOING DOWNHILL AS WELL. THE ENGINE WILL BE AT VERY HIGH RPM FOR THE SPEED I GO WHICH IS 45-50. OFTEN WHEN I BACK OUT IN REVERSE, THE BRAKES MAKE A HUMMING NOISE.

ON MAY 3, 2015 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN, THE CAR STALLED AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF ALL STEERING AND BRAKING FUNCTION. I IMMEDIATELY PLACED ON MY HAZARDS AS CARS SWERVED LEFT AND RIGHT TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO ME. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART.

WITHIN 10 MINUTES, IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. IT DID THIS 2 MORE TIMES. SERVICE WAS CALLED AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE CAR WAS FIXED. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE IT FOR ONE DAY. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON MAY 6, 2015, IT AGAIN STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH AS I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. AGAIN, THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. SERVICE WAS CALLED AND TOOK THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT AUTHORIZED DEALER. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY MAY 8TH THAT THE CAR WAS FIXED AND READY TO GO.

IT DROPPED FROM 70 TO 60 AND THEN TO 45 WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. IT STARTED SHIFTING GEARS AUTOMATICALLY ON IT OWNS. THEN I PUSHED THE GAS AND IT WENT BACK UP TO 70. ONCE WE ARRIVED TO TENNESSEE WE HAD TO GO UP MOUNTAINS AND THE CAR STARTED TO STALL AGAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. AS I WAS GOING INTO THE MOUNTAINS THE CAR ALMOST STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR KEPT SHIFTING GEARS EVEN WHEN I AM BARELY PRESSING THE GAS. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND START IT AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED STALLING THE FIRST DAY OF PURCHASING IT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO THIS UNTIL IT DID IT ON THE EXPRESS WAY.

818V332000 · 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.

1RQ15004 · 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
