Chrysler (fca Us, Llc)
NHTSA Campaign: 24V838000 SAFETY RECALL
206.5K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Nov 7, 2024
Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles. A malfunction in the antilock-brake system (ABS) module may incorrectly illuminate the brake lights and disable the ABS and electronic stability control (ESC). In addition, the vehicle operator may be able to start and shift out of Park without the brake pedal being applied.

Potential Risk:
A vehicle that can be started and shifted out of Park without applying the brake pedal can result in a vehicle rollaway. Disabled ABS and ESC systems can reduce vehicle handling and control in certain driving situations. Brake lights that incorrectly illuminate can fail to properly indicate the driver's intention to following traffic. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
Dealers will replace the integrated pressure transducer and update the ABS module software, as necessary free of charge. Interim owner letters were mailed December 5, 2024. A second notice will be mailed once the final remedy is available, anticipated September 2025. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 94B. This recall replaces previous recall number 22V-426. Vehicles previously remedied under 22V-426 will need to have the new remedy completed.

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.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

On our way to the grocery store, I turned onto the highway and began accelerating. Suddenly the engine shuts off and random messages pop up on the display. The "D" on the shift indicator was blinking telling me to put the vehicle into park to restart. Steering and braking were impaired as i tried to get the vehicle to the emergency lane. Numerous vehicles at highway speeds had to make rapid maneuvers to avoid hitting us. After coming to a stop and putting the vehicle in park, I restarted the vehicle. The engine light was now on and there were numerous messages coming up on the display. There were also random electrical occurrences as well, rear wiper running with switch in off position. This was a very dangerous situation. Had the individual behind us not had room to maneuver into the adjacent lane he would have impacted us for sure. This seems to be a known issue that needs to be addressed. As this incident just happened i have not a chance to contact a dealer yet. There was no warning prior to the incident. We have had no issues with this vehicle to this point save one, and I do not know if they are related or not. But randomly for a few months prior to this incident, the vehicles radio/control console would freeze up becoming totally unresponsive. It will eventually reboot itself and begin working again. Sometimes after one restart and other times it takes several restarts after varying lengths of time being frozen. The frequency of these occurrences seem to be increasing also. If this was just your radio controls it would be annoying enough, this is your control center for everything. Have not addressed this with the dealer yet as well. I will be contacting my nearest dealership this week.

On our way to the grocery store, I turned onto the highway and began accelerating. Suddenly the engine shuts off and random messages pop up on the display. The "D" on the shift indicator was blinking telling me to put the vehicle into park to restart. Steering and braking were impaired as i tried to get the vehicle to the emergency lane. Numerous vehicles at highway speeds had to make rapid maneuvers to avoid hitting us. After coming to a stop and putting the vehicle in park, I restarted the vehicle. The engine light was now on and there were numerous messages coming up on the display. There were also random electrical occurrences as well, rear wiper running with switch in off position. This was a very dangerous situation. Had the individual behind us not had room to maneuver into the adjacent lane he would have impacted us for sure. This seems to be a known issue that needs to be addressed. As this incident just happened i have not a chance to contact a dealer yet. There was no warning prior to the incident. We have had no issues with this vehicle to this point save one, and I do not know if they are related or not. But randomly for a few months prior to this incident, the vehicles radio/control console would freeze up becoming totally unresponsive. It will eventually reboot itself and begin working again. Sometimes after one restart and other times it takes several restarts after varying lengths of time being frozen. The frequency of these occurrences seem to be increasing also. If this was just your radio controls it would be annoying enough, this is your control center for everything. Have not addressed this with the dealer yet as well. I will be contacting my nearest dealership this week.

AIR BAGS

Potential Consequences:

On May 24,2021 while in vehicle the headrest deployed for no reason at all striking me in the back of the head, had i been actively moving this i feel could have been dangerous. fortunately i was at a stop. I have since then contacted my local dealership and will be taking vehicle in for repair. My concern now is could this happen again? I had no clue this was affecting other vehicles as well until it happened to me, i went online to research headrest deployment and found this is a huge problem! I'm not comfortable with fact that when my wife is driving this vehicle that the possibility of headrest deployment exist!

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

Just purchased 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee from bulk dealer. The engine consistently stalls while in drive (at red lights, stop signs, intersections) causing safety issues and near MVAs. During stall, the AC continues to blow but air is not cold. The VIN# shows no unrepaired recalls, but the vehicle is behaving exactly as described in recall U87. It still has some time on warranty but I'm not sure how to proceed here. This is certainly unsafe.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO EARNHARDT JEEP IN GILBERT ARIZONA FOR THE W79 EGR COOLER RECALL AND ONLY THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED AND NOT THE EGR COOLER. THE RECALL STATED THAT THE EGR COOLER COULD CRACK FROM THERMAL FATIGUE AND A NEW EGR COOLER WITH THICKER WALLS WOULD BE INSTALLED.

THE VALVE DOES NOT HAVE COOLENT GOING THROUGH IT SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS CAN BE A COMPLETE FIX. THE VEHICLE HAD THE VALVE REPLACED 4-7-2021 AND I RETURNED THE VEHICLE 5-5-2021 WITHE THE MILL LIGHT ON WITH THE SAME CODE. CAR STILL IN THE SHOP. FCA SAYS THE CURRENT REMEDY IS VALVE REPLACEMENT AND NOT THE EGR COOLER. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LOGICAL AND I NEED NHTSA HELP TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE SO MY WIFES VEHICLE IS NOT A FUTURE FIRE HAZZARD.

Potential Consequences:

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY CUT OFF. THE "D" ON MY DASH BEGAN TO FLASH. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND BRAKING WAS DIFFICULT. THE CAR JUST COASTED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK. THEN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. IF I HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY OR A BUSY STREET, THIS WOULD EASILY HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. MY 8 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR. NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. SEEMS THIS IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE FOR ME. A LOT OF OTHER 2018 JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. A CAR THAT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE IT'S BEING DRIVEN IS A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE CAR THAT MAY BE RELATED OR SEPARATE. THE RADIO IN MY CENTER CONSOL TURNS ON WHEN I START THE CAR. THEN IT FREEZES AND SHUTS OFF. THEN IT TURNS ITSELF BACK ON AND FREEZES AND SHUTS OFF AGAIN. IT GOES THROUGH THIS PROCESS SEVERAL TIME BEFORE IT WILL TURN ON, STAY ON, AND FUNCTION PROPERLY. I AM TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THAT THE CAR NEEDS AN UPDATE. I AM ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE UPDATE COULD RESULT IN THE CAR NEEDING AN ENTIRELY NEW RADIO.

Corrective Action:

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY CUT OFF. THE "D" ON MY DASH BEGAN TO FLASH. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND BRAKING WAS DIFFICULT. THE CAR JUST COASTED.
