276 reportsON A BUSY FOUR LANE AVENUE, MY CAR JUST STOPPED. WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD TO CALL POLICE AND THEY BLOCKED TRAFFIC MOVED OFF OF HIGHWAY. COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE COMPLAINING THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON.
CAR CUT OFF AT A STOP SIGN. RESTARTED.
AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS 11 MONTHS OLD. I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT SHOOK AND SPUTTERED CONTINUOUSLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START.

AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS 11 MONTHS OLD. I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT SHOOK AND SPUTTERED CONTINUOUSLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. IT WAS RETURNED TO ME AFTER ONE DAY OF REPAIRS. I DROVE SIX MILES AND PARKED AT A SHOPPING CENTER. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE THE SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN REFUSED TO START, EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT REPAIRS AND TESTING FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK BEFORE BEING RETURNED TO ME YET AGAIN. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN WITH NO APPARENT ISSUES, BUT THE PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED MUST BE PREVENTED BEFORE IT OCCURS. IT WAS LIFE-THREATENING, AND IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE SO HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OR PARKED IN DANGEROUS SURROUNDINGS.
THE PLACEMENT OF THE SHIFT PADDLES (SPORT SHIFT MODEL CHRYSLER 200S) HAS CAUSED TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS FOR ME. THESE PADDLES (+ AND -) ARE LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE STEERING WHEEL ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES, JUST ABOVE THE CONTROL BUTTONS ON THE BACK FOR THE SOUND SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON 16 MILE ROAD, I THOUGHT I…

THE PLACEMENT OF THE SHIFT PADDLES (SPORT SHIFT MODEL CHRYSLER 200S) HAS CAUSED TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS FOR ME. THESE PADDLES (+ AND -) ARE LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE STEERING WHEEL ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES, JUST ABOVE THE CONTROL BUTTONS ON THE BACK FOR THE SOUND SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON 16 MILE ROAD, I THOUGHT I WAS CHANGING THE CHANNEL OF MY RADIO STATION, INSTEAD I HIT THE PADDLE, THIS STOPPED MY ACCELERATION AND MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, INSTEAD THE RPMS WENT UP. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO ADJUST AND WAS IN THE LEFT (FAST) LANE WHERE I HAD TO PULL OFF INTO THE 'MICHIGAN LEFT' LANE, I THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON HALL ROAD APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, FORTUNATELY I WAS SLOWING DOWN ANYWAY TO TURN ON TO A STREET. I BELIEVE MOST OF THE FUNCTIONS IN THIS CAR ARE ERGONOMICALLY WRONG. THE 'DIAL' TO PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, DRIVE IS JUST A FEW INCHES AWAY FROM THE AIR FLOW DIAL. I HAVE LOOKED BEHIND THE CAR TO BE SURE THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS / VEHICLES AND WHILE MY HEAD WAS TURNED, MY HAND TURNED THE DIAL FOR AIR FLOW INSTEAD OF THE DIAL FOR REVERSE. THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE IS A SMALL PULL BUTTON JUST A FEW INCHES AWAY AS WELL. I HAVE HAD A PASSENGER TRY TO PULL IT AS THEY ASKED WHAT IT WAS . . .
WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR IT WAS SCARY TO DRIVE FOR ME.IT IS SLOW TO PICK UP WHEN I GIVE IT GAS AND IS JERKY WHILE DRIVING LIKE A STANDARD. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. WHILE DRIVING AND THEN SLOWING DOWN IT WOULD SPEEDUP QUICKLY INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN.I HAD TO KEEP PUMPING THE BRAKE THEN IT WOULD SLOW DOWN. THEN WHILE DRIVING T…

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR IT WAS SCARY TO DRIVE FOR ME.IT IS SLOW TO PICK UP WHEN I GIVE IT GAS AND IS JERKY WHILE DRIVING LIKE A STANDARD. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. WHILE DRIVING AND THEN SLOWING DOWN IT WOULD SPEEDUP QUICKLY INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN.I HAD TO KEEP PUMPING THE BRAKE THEN IT WOULD SLOW DOWN. THEN WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE ICON CAME ON. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY NUMBER THAT ACCIDENTALLY CAME ON WHEN SOMEONE MOVED THE GEARSHIFT BUTTON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DRIVE ALONE 99 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY TOLD ME THE ICON WAS OUT AND WOULD NEVER COME ON AGAIN. LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHILE LEAVING IT CAME ON AGAIN. SO I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK IT BACK. THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE AGAIN AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND FIX IT WHEN IT CAME IN. I ASKED IF I SHOULD BE DRIVING IT UNTIL THEN AND THEY SAID YES IT WOULD NOT HURT ANYTHING. A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED AND HAD IT A WEEK. SAYING IT WAS THE O-RINGS AND SEALS IN THE TRANSMISSION. I PICKED IT UP TODAY AND IT STILL WORRIES ME TO DRIVE IT. IT SOUNDS LOUDER AND MAKES NOISE WHEN I TURN IT OFF AND ON. IT SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS IN FAST GEAR AND NOT IDLING DOWN WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF AND ON. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR AND I BOUNCE UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH DIDN'T BOUNCE BEFORE. THE TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY HIT EACH BUMP HARD. CHRYSLER RECALLED THE PROGRAMMING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, I AM NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE THAT IS WHEN THE TROUBLE STARTED.
HAD A DOCTOR'S APPT. LEAVING HOME 2MIN. INTO DRIVE CAR DIDN'T GO OVER 5MI. STOPPED CAR RAN THROW GEARS UNTIL I FELT IT CATCH ,BRAKES FADE SITTING AT A LIGHT , CAR SPEEDS UP GOING DOWN HILL ,SMELL OF BURNING WIRES 6/28/2015 .

THE ENGINE SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL STATE WHILE DRIVING. FIRST THE "SERVICE PARK BRAKE" INDICATOR CAME ON FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE TRANSMISSION". THEN THE SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL TURNED ON (P, N, D, S ). IT WAS THEN NECESSARY TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND ON AND STILL ALL SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IT STAYED IN THIS CONDITION SO THE CAR COULD NOT BE RE-STARTED. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PULLED THE LEAD OFF THE BATTERY TO RESET. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE STALLING COMPLETELY THERE WERE 2 OR 3 INSTANCES WHERE I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OVER, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING UNTIL I REALIZED I HAD BIGGER PROBLEMS.
LEAVING FOR WORK IN THE AM, STARTED MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200, REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, MADE IT TO THE CORNER OF MY CUL DE SAC AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.

LEAVING FOR WORK IN THE AM, STARTED MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200, REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, MADE IT TO THE CORNER OF MY CUL DE SAC AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A MESSAGE IN THE DISPLAY INCLUDING THE WORDS "TRANS," AND "EMERGENCY PARK." THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK BECAUSE THE GEAR SYSTEM WAS LOCKED UP. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED HE HAD A HARD TIME WITH IT BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE, AND THE WHEELS WOULD NOT ROLL. I COULDN'T MOVE THIS CAR IF I WANTED TO. I COULDN'T OPEN THE TRUNK, LOCK THE DOORS, USE FLASHERS, NOTHING... ANYTHING ELECTRICAL WAS OUT OF COMMISSION. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS, SAID THEY "PERFORMED MANY SOFTWARE UPGRADES" AND "TEST DROVE IT EXTENSIVELY" AND THAT IT WAS FIXED. 20 MINUTES AFTER I PICKED IT UP, I WAS DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE OF A 3-LANE HIGHWAY, WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 1 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR'S POWER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN ALSO. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, I CAN REPLACE THE CAR OR THEY WILL BUY IT BACK. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. I WAS LUCKY THE FIRST TIME, BARELY LUCKY THE SECOND TIME, WHO KNOWS WHAT SITUATION I MIGHT BE IN IF I AGREE TO LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? I CANNOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS A SUBSTANTIAL SAFETY RISK, AND ALSO POSES ADDITIONAL RISKS TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AROUND IT. SINCE EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I WERE TO GET INTO A CRASH AS A RESULT OF IT, THE AIRBAGS LIKELY WOULD NOT DEPLOY, ADDING TO THE RISK OF INJURY. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE IN A CHRYSLER 200, I NO LONGER WANT THIS VEHICLE.

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
