MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS GOING ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY CODES BUT THE LIGHT WAS OFF. I WENT DOWN THE ROAD AND IT TURNED BACK ON SO I WENT BACK. THEY FOUND THE SAME CODE THAT'S BEEN GIVING ME ISSUES REGARDING THE PASSENGER SEAT. 7 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR BACK AND FORTH SINCE MARCH 2015 FOR THE TRANNY ISSUE. IT JERKS, HESITATES, AND RATTLES. ON A SERIOUS NOTE MY NECK HURTS CAUSE IT CAUSES ME TO JERK FORWARD. ALL CHRYSLER KEEPS DOING IS REPROGRAMMING MY COMPUTER ON THE TRANNY BUT IT DOESN'T WORK. I HAVE OVER 17 WORK ORDERS, OVER 30 DAYS OF STAYING IN THE SHOP, AND ALL THEY DO IS REPROGRAM IT PER CHRYSLER STAR ORDERS. RECENTLY I WENT TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOT FORWARD THEN KNOCKED INTO REVERSE. THE BUYBACK PROGRAM IS A LIE. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THE CHRYSLER 200. IT'S JUST A HEADACHE AND A WASTE OF MONEY.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WITH MY SPOUSE AND I WAS TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LUNGED FORWARD CAUSING US TO JERK BACK AND FORTH. I STILL HAVE LOWER BACK PAIN BECAUSE OF THIS AND MY SPOUSE NECK WAS HURTING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES THAT HAD YET TO BE RESOLVED. THERE IS A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOCK AND I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS OF GAS AND IT 'S STILL THERE. THE CAR STILL LUNGES FORWARD FROM A STOP EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAD AN UPDATE ON ITS SYSTEM MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT ROLLS FORWARD QUITE A BIT. 2 TIMES IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE. I HAVE HAD AN AIRBAG ISSUE 5 TIMES AND TODAY IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. IT IS THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG. CONNECTORS WERE CHANGED AND WIRING 4 TIMES. CAR HESITATES A LOT ESPECIALLY FROM A STAND STILL. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN I WAS TAKING A LEFT ON A MAJOR ROAD FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR ROLLED A LITTLE AND DIDN'T GO. IT HESITATED JERKED HARD AND WENT REALLY SLOW. A GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM THE TRANNY. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT MY CAR VIBRATES. I DON'T HAVE NO AC NOR RADIO ON AND IT JUST VIBRATES. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLERS STAR WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY VEHICLE JUST UPDATES. I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT SPENDS ABOUT A WEEK IN THE SHOP ONCE A MONTH SINCE APRIL. NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT BUT THEY CAN HEAR THE RATTLING AND FEEL THE SOUND. I EVEN HAD ONE TECH TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD DEAL WITH IT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING BUT STAR ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YET AGAIN IT IS AT THE SHOP TODAY GETTING AN UPDATE AND THE AIRBAG BEING REPAIRED.

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.

Jul 28, 2015

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles manufactured January 7, 2014, to September 23, 2014. The affected vehicles may have a Power Distribution Center (PDC) electrical connector that may cause intermittent power failures to certain electrical components.

In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network. This measure may not have been implemented on all vehicles and does not address access by other means that will be remedied by the software update. The recall began on August 25, 2015.

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
