MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING CAR WITH OUR 2 DAUGHTERS IN THE BACK SEAT AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH DURING MORNING TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE 64 IN ST. LOUIS AT AROUND 8 A.M.. SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND THE CAR STARTED BEEPING, SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT APPEARED AND STARTED TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR POWER VEHICLE. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT BASICALLY BROUGHT HER TO A STOP IN THE CENTER LANE OF TRAFFIC. CARS SHIFTER KNOB WAS LOCKED IN GEAR, BUT WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. TRIED TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON, BUT WOULD NOT GO INTO A MOVING GEAR TO GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. A COUPLE OF MOTORISTS TRIED TO ASSIST, BUT CAR WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES WHEN POLICE FINALLY ARRIVED, THE CAR WOULD GO INTO GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO SHOULDER. DEALERSHIP HAD CAR FOR 2 WEEKS. 3 DAYS BEFORE EVEN LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE AND ANOTHER WEEK WAITING ON A PART. REPLACED SHIFTER AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. SAID CAR WAS FIXED. CAR DID SAME THING ON 7/3/15, NOW WITH A LITTLE OVER 18,000 MILES, THIS TIME IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA ABOUT 3 BLOCKS FROM HOME. SAME BEEPING SOUND AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE. ONLY DIFFERENCE IS AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR, SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IN GEAR AND MAKE IT HOME. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, I WENT AND LOOKED AT THE CAR AND DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. CAR WAS VERY JUMPY SHIFTING INTO BOTH R AND D. WHEN RETURNING AND PUTTING BACK INTO P, MADE A MECHANICAL SOUND LIKE A TIMER BEING TURNED. WHEN DRIVER SHOWED UP TO TOW AWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF, BUT MADE SAME SOUND WHEN HE PUT PARKING BRAKE ON AND OFF. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND HOPE IS HANDLED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE THEIR CAR LOSES POWER ON A 2 LANE ROAD AND GETS REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER COMING OVER A HILL OR AROUND A CORNER AND CAN'T STOP IN TIME. I WANT THIS CAR TO BE BOUGHT BACK BY FCA. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN A SCHOOL ZONE AT ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN THE CAR JERKED THEN BOUNCED 3 OR 4 TIMES. THE SLOWED AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN PSRK BUT THE D WAS FLASHING AS IF IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. WARNING LIGHT WERE ALSO FLASHING.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION AND ANGER. ALSO BECAUSE IT STATES ON THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED THAT I CAN SUBMIT A WRITTEN COMPLAINT IF THE DEALERSHIP "FAILS TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME". THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, THE TRANSAXLE PARK ROD. THE RECALL NOTICE ADVISED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP ON OR AFTER MAY 1, 2015 TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I DID SO A WEEK LATER AND BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN ON SATURDAY, MAY 16TH. A FEW HOURS AFTER DROPPING OFF MY VEHICLE, I RECEIVED A CALL INFORMING ME THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT PASS THE RECALL TEST AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO KEEP MY VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS. I THEN RECEIVED A CALL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, MAY 18TH AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO FIX MY VEHICLE IS ON BACK-ORDER!!! I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY BECAUSE IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS NOW THAT I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PART IS STILL ON BACK-ORDER AND THAT WE'RE ON THE WAITING LIST. WHAT THE [XXX] IS THAT?! I UNDERSTAND THAT MY VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED WITHOUT CHARGE BUT THIS IS AN EXTREME INCONVENIENCE AND IS RIDICULOUS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE OR A LIMITED SUPPLY OF IT. TO HEAR THE DEALERSHIP TELL ME THAT THEY ARE UNSURE WHEN THEY WILL BE RECEIVING THE PART AND THAT I'M ON THE "WAIT-LIST" IS VERY UPSETTING AND FRUSTRATING. I EVEN ASKED IF I COULD JUST GET MY CAR AND HAVE THEM CALL ME WHEN THE PART ARRIVES AND THEY TOLD ME "NO BECAUSE IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE." OKAY, I UNDERSTAND THAT, I GET IT, BUT I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR [XXX] NEAR A YEAR NOW, AND HAD NO SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH IT. SO WHY CAN'T I HAVE MY VEHICLE IN MY POSSESSION? I JUST WANT MY FREAKING CAR BACK!!! AND NOT KNOWING A TIME FRAME IS VERY UNSETTLING. SO PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME ON WHAT CHRYSLER CONSIDERS A "REASONABLE TIME" FOR REMEDYING THIS DEFECT?

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
