Buyer Beware
Anyone who knows anyone with a 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokee, pass this along. My wife's Cherokee, two days ago, began clunking somewhat. I rushed it in to the dealership. They explained to me that there was an emergency recall and a software update was required as some vehicles had play in the PTU that could cause the gears to wear out prematurely. The software upgrade was applied to prevent possible catastrophic failure and to stop the vehicle from jumping out of park on its own.
After appealing to Fiat Chrylser, who allowed us to drive around in a vehicle with play in the PTU for five years and never addressing the problem, I have been denied, due to the powertrain warranty being over, yup 5 years or 160 km, our Jeep has 73000km. My cost, 4700 CDN at Saint Albert Dodge, claiming the recall has nothing to do with the failure. My question is why supply a software update to a known issue to prevent catastrophic failure rather than replace the affected PTUS? When it rains it pours, suck it up princess. Heads up to anyone with this model. Read closely to the description in the following article to understand my frustration. No lube at all!
