A failed PTU may result in a loss of drive power or vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
11 safety recall campaigns, 2,396 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A failed PTU may result in a loss of drive power or vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. A loss of park function can cause an unintended vehicle rollaway, which can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
In the event of a crash, the inability to properly detect a crash may result in improper air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury.
In the event of a crash, the seat may move, increasing the risk of injury.
Without the activation of warning chimes, messages, and gauges to provide vehicle information to the driver, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Two 2019 JEEP CHEROKEEs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
