• Vehicle rollaway investigation # PE16014

  Basis – on december 16, 2016, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened preliminary evaluation pe16-014 to investigate 43 vehicle rollaway incidents with operators alleging they had shifted to park and then exited the vehicle prior to the rollway incidents.  these complaints involved multiple fiat chrysler automobiles (fca) model and model year vehicles that share a common electronic rotary shifter design.  of the 43 consumer complaints, 25 complaints alleged crashes, and eight complaints alleged at least one injury. Subject vehicles – when nhtsa opened the investigation, the subject vehicles were model year (my) 2013-2016 ram 1500 vehicles and my 2014-2016 dodge durango vehicles equipped with a rotary electronic shifter. However, nhtsa expanded the scope of the investigation to include subsequent model years of the same model vehicles when the agency learned that those new model year vehicles use the same rotary shifter.  additionally, all subject vehicles manufactured by fca are equipped with electronic rotary shifters supplied by kostal automotive. Reason for closing - during the course of this investigation, odi did not find evidence that a vehicle-based design or manufacturing defect was the cause of vehicle rollaway incidents on the subject vehicles. Nevertheless, given the risk of a vehicle rollaway, fca’s csn actions provide automated vehicle securement when an operator attempts to exit the vehicle without successfully achieving a park position with the rotary shifter mechanism. Odi closely monitored the subject vehicles on which the csn actions implement a vehicle securement strategy and found that the csn actions were effective in reducing the frequency of vehicle rollaway incidents in the subject vehicles. Odi analyzed the incidents when a csn had been implemented and a rollaway still occurred, and odi was unable to find an actionable defect that caused vehicle rollaway incidents. Odi found that the failure rates on subject vehicles that received a csn remedy were similar to the failure rates on other vehicle populations and additionally had similar mechanisms as other vehicle populations such as slippery surfaces and various mechanical failures. Furthermore, as discussed above, after fca’s release of the csn actions, consumer complaints have decreased significantly. Given the absence of an identified safety defect based on available information and fca’s customer satisfaction campaign which addresses the failure mode, further action is not warranted at this time. Accordingly, this preliminary evaluation is closed. However, the agency reserves the right to take further action, if warranted.Please see the attached detailed closing summary for more information.

• Software security vulnerability investigation # RQ15004

  On july 23, 2015, fiat chrysler automobiles (fca) launched safety recall 15v-461 to remedy security vulnerabilities in approximately 1.4 million model year (my) 2013 through 2015 vehicles equipped with uconnect head units (hu) 8.4a (ra3 radio) and 8.4an (ra4 radio) manufactured by harman international.On july 24, 2015, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened recall query, rq 15-004, to investigate hu security vulnerabilities and remedy effectiveness in the recalled population and to determine whether similar units have been supplied for use in other fca vehicles.In an august 11, 2015 letter, fca submitted a second part 573 safety recall report expanding the scope of the uconnect ra4 model radio to include additional 7,810 my 2015 jeep renegade vehicles manufactured from september 18, 2014 through june 25, 2015 (recall 15v-508).Scope analysis indicated that uconnect radios installed in fca vehicles not included in recalls 15v-461 or 15v-508 (subject recalls) are not equipped with built-in cellular access or short range wireless communication features and, thus, do not contain the security vulnerabilities addressed by the subject recalls. Subject vehicles: my2014 through 2015 dodge durango, jeep grand cherokee and jeep cherokee sport utility vehicles; my2013 through 2015 ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and 4500/5500 pickup trucks; my2013 through 2015 dodge viper vehicles; and my2015 chrysler 200, 300, jeep renegade, dodge charger and challenger vehicles.According to fca, long and short range wireless vulnerabilities identified in the recalled vehicles could allow unauthorized third-party access to, and manipulation of, networked vehicle control systems.Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities, coupled with reverse engineering of networked microprocessor control modules, could result in unauthorized manipulation of vehicle control systems. This unauthorized manipulation of vehicle controls and systems could expose the driver, vehicle occupants or other highway users to an increased risk of injury.Fca and its network provider, sprint, conducted a nationwide campaign to block access to a radio communications port that was unintentionally left open.On july 27, 2015, short range wireless vulnerabilities were also blocked.Finally, third party security evaluation and regression testing identified vulnerabilities that were either remedied by sprint or through updates to the fca uconnect software.Odi identified a total of 30 complaints or field reports on unique vehicles submitted by fca (29) or received by nhtsa (1) alleging incidents of theft from a vehicle or anomalous performance that the owner alleged were caused by, or may have been caused by, remote hacking.Twenty-six (87%) of these reports were submitted after a magazine article was published on july 21, 2015, describing the remote hacking of an fca vehicle by researchers who were able to affect the operation of various vehicle control systems, including the service brakes, steering, throttle and ignition.Most of the complaints involved vehicle systems that were not safety critical (e.G., complaints related to radio, navigation system, or air-conditioning control) and did not affect vehicle control.Three complaints reported engine stalls.One owner reported sudden unintended acceleration allegedly related to hacking.None of the complaints or field reports reviewed involved the steering and braking vehicle control effects demonstrated by the research hackers prior to the recall.There were no confirmed incidents of hacking in any of the records reviewed by odi.The remedies completed by sprint and fca appear to have eliminated vulnerabilities that might allow a remote actor to impact vehicle control systems.This recall query investigation is closed; this action does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.

The contact owns a 2013 ram 1500. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the service power steering message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to steer while driving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering rack was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was given a case number [xxx]. The failure mileage was 54,464. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6).”

I was driving down the road on 222 near lancaster pennsylvania when without any warning lights or noise or any form of warning my rear differential locked up while i was driving. It snapped my drivshaft off the flange that attaches it to the differential.

Front end impact during a traffic collision failed to actuate the airbags resulting in a neck/upper back injury. The collision occurred at approx. 35-40mph into another car (broadside collision).

The contact owns a 2013 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle crashed into the rear of the a second vehicle causing severe damage to the front end. During the crash the air bag did not deploy. The driver sustained a fractured right foot and bruises the arms and torso which required medical treatment. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 70,000.

Power steering went out instantly while stopped preparing to enter a car wash. Made it through the car wash, turned the engine off, then back on, wow! Power steering started working perfectly again. After a mile or so power steering went out again. It appears to be some sort of electrical problem with the electronic steering assist. After researching i discovered this seems to be an ongoing problem with dodge ram trucks as far back as 2012.

While driving on city streets in houston and about to turn into an intersection, the power steering went out immediately and without warning. The steering became extremely stiff and controlling the vehicle required much more effort than typical manual steering. I am a male with good arm strength; had my wife been driving there is no doubt she would not have been able to maintain control. I did not crash, but pulled over while narrowly missing other vehicles and a pedestrian. A warning message on my dash said something like 'power steering service required'. Texan dodge dealership diagnosed the eps module had failed, and the repair was estimated at $3,100. Previous safety recall s19 by ram covered this repair on a small number of pickups from 2015-2016 model years. However, based on an internet search it is abundantly apparent that this malfunction has occurred in many ram pickups from 2013 forward. This is a very dangerous malfunction that may have already resulted in injuries or deaths.

I was driving my 2013 ram 1500 truck when the eps ( electronic power steering) would not allow me to turn left or right it wanted to stay straight while a service power steering popped up on the dash computer

Been experiencing a 'service airbag system' across my info screen along with an annoying tone. It happens when the vehicle is running, parked, as well as all forward and reverse gears. Today was the first opportunity i had to get the truck into the dealership to diagnose the issue. Found that the airbag in the drivers side seat has a faulty circuit. I believe that this is a major safety issue & should be repaired by the manufacturer.
