MY CAR SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE (AND DOES DIE WHEN I USE THE FOB TO START IT) WHEN IT IS STARTED AND WHEN IT IS RUNNING....LAST SUNDAY (2-26-17) MY CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND VIBRATE. MY CAR BARELY HAD ANY ACCELERATION AND IT WAS HESITATING AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY REPLACE 4 SPARKPLUGS. ANOTHER TEST WAS REDONE, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF AND ALL SEEMED WELL. AFTER ABOUT 30 MILES BEGAN TO SPUTTER YET THE VIBRATING WAS NOT AS BAD; STILL HESITATION AND NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. WEDNESDAY, MY FOB WOULD NOT START MY CAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL START THE CAR BUT THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF BEFORE I CAN GET IN. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. THE MECHANIC WANTS TO START REPLACING ONE COIL AT A TIME. HE ALSO SAID THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A 2015. (MY CAR FLOODED IN AUGUST 2016 AND I PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2016)

THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C. FROM TIME-TO-TIME, IT SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE IS SOMEPLACE OTHER THAN WHERE I KNOW IT TO BE. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE TIME OF DAY ALSO DISPLAYS INCORRECTLY. THIS LEADS ME TO GUESS THAT THE UNIT IS SOMEHOW PROCESSING THE GPS SIGNAL INCORRECTLY. THE ATTACHED PHOTO WAS TAKEN IN THE PARKING LOT OF A KNOWN LOCATION OF A BUSINESS CALLED PREFERRED CARE AT WALL IN WALL, NJ. IT'S LOCATION IS SHOWN IN THE GOOGLE MAPS SCREENSHOT1 ATTACHED. IN THE PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE AWNING OVER THE ENTRYWAY AND THE THREE FLAG POLES, JUST AS SHOWN IN THE GOOGLE MAPS STREET VIEW. BUT THE NAV SCREEN SHOWS THE VEHICLE TO BE ON ORCHARD CREST BLVD EAST OF ROUTE 34 IN MANASQUAN, NJ, ABOUT 2-1/2 MILES EAST OF THE VEHICLE'S KNOWN POSITION. YOU CAN SEE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO LOCATIONS IN SCREENSHOT2 ATTACHED. IN ADDITION, THE NAV SYSTEM IS DISPLAYING THE TIME OF DAY AS 7:03. THE ACTUAL TIME OF DAY AT THE TIME THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN WAS 7:39 AS SHOWN ON THE WATCH ON THE DASH. THAT WATCH IS CONNECTED TO A SMARTPHONE AND DISPLAYS THE TIME OF DAY ACCORDING TO VERIZON WIRELESS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS I CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN THE PRESENCE OF A TECHNICIAN, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. AN UNRELIABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS FOR A DRIVER WHO MUST NAVIGATE THROUGH UNFAMILIAR AREAS OR MAKE A DETOUR FROM A KNOWN ROUTE. BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT, IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IS PRESENTS AN UNPREDICTABLE DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER.

I END UP WITH HANG ON THE TAIL (THE LITTLE THING ATTACHED TO THE REAR END OF THE CAR) OF BIG TRACK. I TRIED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT BRAKES PROBLEM TO MY INSURANCE, BUT COLLISION REPAIR COMPANY DID NOT CONFIRM MY CONCERNS AND I PAID $1000 DEDUCTIBLE AS THE DRIVER IN FAULT (IN THE FUTURE IT WILL AFFECT MY MONTHLY PAY FOR INSURANCE). I TRIED TO FIND THE SOLUTION BUT ONLY MY FAMILY CAN SUPPORT ME WITHOUT LAUGHING AT MY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR SAFETY. ONE OF MY FRIENDS TOLD ME, THAT I NEED TO INVOLVE SOME OF AN INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL AND STOP TRYING TALK TO THE WALL. CHRYSLER ALREADY TOOK AN ADVANTAGE OF MY NOT FAIR PURCHASE AND THEN MY TRADE-IN WITH THEM (MY DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE MY PREVIOUS CHRYSLER 200 FOR SAFETY REASON AGAIN!!! AND SOLD TO ME MY CURRENT CHRYSLER FOR $43,000 AND IT'S NOT SAFE STILL!!!). IN ADDITIONAL, I SCARED WITH THE NOISE PRODUCING BY THE CAR WHILE I'M DRIVING: THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF NOISE FROM THE ENGINE WHEN IT'S GOING DOWN OF THE HILL AND WINDOWS OR SOMETHING LIKE WINDOWS SHAKING NOISE. FRANKLY SAYING, I HAVE VERY UPSETTING EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND START LOOKING FOR THE SECOND OPINION WITH TREATING ME AS THE FAIR AND PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS IN THE OPTIONS TO KEEP MY LIFE SAFE SINCE I HAVE A STRONG FEELING, THAT I'M NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY CHRYSLER. THANK YOU! *TR

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.

RQ15004 · 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
