2015 Jeep CHEROKEE Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	20/02/21

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The described vehicle was subject to recall w47 wherein the ptu splines could degrade causing the vehicle to have no motive power and could roll away. The recall updated the software to essentially instruct the vehicle to engage the parking brake and allow motive power with rear wheel drive. The recall did not call for the replacement of the faulty part, just a means of keeping the vehicle safe once the part failed. The recall was issued in july 2020 and we took ours to fremont motors jeep (wyoming) and had the software updated (recall addressed). On february 20, 2021, my wife was driving the vehicle from wyoming to iowa on interstate 90. As she crossed from south dakota into minnesota, the ptu failed which also led to the failure of the driveline control module. She was using the inside lane and passing other traffic when the vehicle suddenly lost power, the engine revved, and the vehicle tried stopping itself. She was able to negotiate other traffic, avoid a collision, and pull off the right side of the roadway. The outside temperature was -8f. I was already in iowa and drove an hour to retrieve her and her baggage from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to sioux falls, sd, and was later diagnosed and repaired by billion jeep. It would seem that the recall should have include replacement of the known faulty part and not just an update to the software to address the vehicle "after" the part failed. It created a dangerous situation for my wife and the other people sharing the roadway that night. Recall w47 obviously did not address the issue far enough. It certainly favored the manufacturer over the safety of the vehicle owners.
