Chrysler (fca Us Llc)
Safety Issue:
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with a two-speed Power Transfer Unit (PTU). Relative movement in the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) between the differential input splines and the transmission output shaft may cause some input spline teeth to wear off, which may eventually cause a loss of engagement between the transmission and the differential inside the PTU. If this occurs, power cannot be transferred between the front wheels and the transmission which results in a loss of drive while the vehicle is in motion and a loss of the Park function while stationary.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Brake line on front passenger brake area split open without signs of other damage or cause per mechanic - all brake fluid leaked out, brakes did not function. no accident occurred as a result, but near miss incident occurred. The mechanic repaired this and the other front brake line (driver's side), but advised that I file a report as manufacturer would not take any additional information or concern. No warning lights went off, and no other alarm components sounded or created a visual alert - incident was somewhat immediate - meaning that it occurred within 5 mins. The brakes were working, then without accident or any causes of jarring or harm to the underside of the vehicle, the brakes suddenly stopped working - brake pedal went all the way to the floor without stopping the vehicle. Mechanic inspected all areas of the brake system, and could not find any other signs of damage or reasons for the brake line splitting. He concluded that it was a manufacturer defect. No cause for police or insurance intervention thus far. Brake line that split is available for inspection - I retained the brake line from the mechanic as he suggested.

I purchased my 2016 Jeep Cherokee in 2018 and within 3 months my service shifter light came on. I had it fixed by the dealership. 6 months later it happened again and I was told it was most likely a faulty part used the first time. Since then I have had the shifter console and wiring inside replaced a total of 4 more times, luckily up until this point was covered under my extended warranty. However my warranty expires in January of 2022 and the service shift light just came on again for what will now be the 7th time. Once my warranty is over, I will not be able to cover the $500 each time twice a year to have it fixed. I have seem dozens and dozens of people report on this issue and nothing has been done. It has also caused my transmission to slip or multiple occasions as well as hesitate when accelerating.
