Probably only going to be on the 3.7 and 6.1, there is not actual shift linkage on these with the NAG1, on the rfe the computer cannot just decide to move the shifter to neutral.

Sent from my SCH-I500

It was my understanding that it was on all transmissions.

The shifting is actually the NV245 transfercase shifting into neutral.

Apparently, there is the possibility of a short causing a biased voltage to be picked up by (I think) the FDCM, which misinterprets the signal as a request to shift the transfercase into neutral.

I'm guessing the dealers are just going to re-program the software to not consider those conditions as a request to shift.

It was 300,000 plus jeep recall 05-10, sending out letters in June. I checked jeep site with vin mine was clean but could have been to early to check.

I heard almost 500k were recalled with about 300k in the US.idk if it's a the same problem but there have been a couple times where I started mine,put it in drive right away,gave it gas and it acted like it was in neutral for a second.guess we will see!

That sounds like your torque converter is draining over time. This could be normal (if the delay is very short after the vehicle has been sitting for a while), or indicative of a problem with the spin-on type filter in the transmission pan. Have you had your trans serviced and these filters replaced? Some of the 2005's had a defect in this filter that would cause the symptoms you describe.

Does my superchips tune need to be pulled before I go in? And will the update be overwritten when I retune after?

We're in Sydney Australia and received the recall letter from Chrylser Aust last week.

It states...

'The recall has not been officially released in the US as yet but the Fiat Chrysler Group have taken a precautionary measure to notify all owners of the upcoming recall which is due to be released July 2013.

Owners will receive a 2nd letter explaining the official release once we have confirmed the launch.

To date the only occurrence of inadvertent gearshifts into neutral have been in vehicles fitted with remote start-up function which is only available in the US'

I got my recall notice today for my 05 5.7 4x4. Notice said will send me a second notice once the software and parts are in and ready to inspect and fix my jeep.

Does anyone have details about actual incidences or accidents of this fault. About a year ago, I parked under my carport at home without turning the engine off yet. I looked up and was rolling forward into a wall. I nudged it a couple of inches before quickly hitting the brakes & reversing out of it. I was returning home after a long graveyard shift at work & was pretty cashed, so I just thought that I spaced putting it in park & let off the brake & coasted. not too much damage to the wall or the vehicle. I had some good spiderwebs in the center of the bumper that I just masked off & covered with matte black Plasti-dip. Could this have been a result or a similar incident causing the recall?

just received my notice yesterday on my 09 4.7. Said they will send 2nd notice when software available.

I would think this 'repair' is going to update the PCM to the newest software if you just let them do the recall.

I think the TC shift actuator is controlled by the PCM. If that's the case, they are going to have to flash the whole thing with the newest software regardless (since they aren't going to fix each earlier rendition with added software, and just upgrade everyone with the patched software).

If it is the FDCM that they are flashing, I suppose it is possible that they could do one without the other. Hopefully once the official notice comes out they are more specific on what part of the software they are fixing.

Got both my notices...one yesterday and the "call the dealer" one today. I'll try to make an appt. for a week or two out.

BEWARE: Anyone with a tuner installed, REMOVE IT BEFORE YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALER....just in case they update the PCM/TCM. If you don't, your tuner will no longer work and it'll cost $$$ to get it reset by the tuner manufacturer. I am going to love driving mine with the stock settings. It hasn't been that way in at least 2.5-3 years. Should be interesting.

You can actually get your rig to turn over and run on the stock tune!?! We have similar mods and I can't run the stock tune at all.

bump...


and.... i hope this is the tsb problem...

happened a few times now... put the jeep in gear, reverse or drive and there is a delay before it goes into gear, like 2-4 seconds...

the other day i rolled down the driveway in reverse and when i went into drive it stalled with a big clunk, almost like the tranny or transfer case kicked in and the torque converter was locked, because the motor stopped immediately...

this sound familiar to anyone ?
