THIS CAR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY, ALMOST KILLING MYSELF AND PASSENGERS, IT NOW SAYS THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. THE CAR WILL NOT GET UP TO 35 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. EVERY TIME I DO I GET A LAME REASON WHY THE CAR IS ACTING UP BUT IT IS NEVER FIXED. I AM CURRENTLY USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO INFORM OTHERS OF HOW CHYRSLER HANDLES THEIR CUSTOMER BUSI9. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TO MAKE SURE NO ONE EVER BUYS A CAR FROM CHYRSLER. ALSO WE ARE SUING CHYRSLER AT THIS MOMENT SO I CAN'T SAY TOO MUCH. BUT PLEASE DO NOT BUY CHRYSLER THEY ARE ALL TRASH!

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CAR. A CAR TURNED IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO EVEN HIT THE BRAKES. SO THE FRONT OF MY CAR HIT THE VEHICLE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER CAME OFF AND THE STEEL SUPPORT BAR AND THE FRAME WAS TWISTED. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I DID SUSTAIN INJURIES! THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAD WITH THIS CAR. I BOUGHT IT IN 2017 AND A WEEK LATER THE CAR STARTED DOWNSHIFTING AS I WAS DRIVING ALL THE TIME. IT WOULD STALL AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I BROUGHT IT TO CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD S6ARTED THE RECALL PROCESS ON THE TRANSMISSION!! I WAS INFURIATED THAT I WAS NOT TOLD. AFTER RENTAL CARS BECAUSE I COULDNT USE IT WHILE THE RECALL STUFF WAS BEING DONE. AND ME BRINGING IT BACK AND FORTH 3 TIMES WITH THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTING! YET AGAIN THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED IN TRAFFIC AND WAS FORCED TO GO OFF THE ROAD. FINALLY THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION.

Official recalls

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.

Feb 26, 2016

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles manufactured April 7, 2014, to August 3, 2015.

Optionally, owners may download the update to their own USB drive from http://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation. 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. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R40.

The automatic transmission parking pawl may become contaminated or the park rod may become dislodged or broken. This may prevent the transmission from shifting into the Park position.

Consequence & remedy

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
