    I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude with the tow package and 3.2L engine. Have been very happy with it. Pulls my 2500 pound boat like it’s not even there! After doing a lot of research online I have to say this form by far is the definitive source of information regarding so many issues...

    I posted a wk ago about "Fine Print" in the PTU class action lawsuit. After I had my dead '15 T.H. flat bedded to the dealer, the service manager said FCA would replace the PTU as long as I paid for a new transmission and drive line at $14993.00. FCA claimed they were not responsible for...

    My 2016 Trailhawk, 83,000 miles, is currently at the stealership for recall service 45A. It has been experiencing the “4WD System Unavailable” failure (code C1496-92) for a while now and I was hoping they would cover the repairs necessary to ensure the recall works as intended, ie sending power...

    New here and have searched a bit already and found some helpful posts, but hoping for some opinions: 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited 2.0T, had the SVC 4WD light start to come on intermittently in the last 2 weeks, no noises though. It seems to be the same issue as most people here - mechanic says...

    Hi all, I got confirmation today that I have a bad PTU in my ‘14 Trailhawk. The garage I took it to quoted me $4600 to replace it which I don’t have (especially for a car that only blue books for around $8k right now). i was curious if it is a must fix, or if it just means I won’t have 4x4? I...

    Hi Folks, Does anyone here service their transmission, PTU, or RDM? My 2016 Jeep Cherokee TR is sneaking up on 100k miles and the two dealerships in my area flat-out told me those items are lifetime sealed and can't be serviced. Some manufacturers are adding drainplugs to their lifetime PTU's...

    One year and five months after the announcement of the PTU extended warranty in the United States, we had repeated negotiations with the Japanese importer. In Japan, since there are few failures, it is now handled individually. I finally received a refund for the repair fee today. I got a...

    Did anyone go through problems with oil consumption, have their engine replaced under warranty, and now going through oil consumption issues again and a service 4WD problem? The code came up as C14A7 PTU Motor. I saw there are recalls for the PTU on older models. I have 79,700 miles and have had...

    My 2014 Trailhawk V6 (90k miles) lit up the dreaded SVC 4WD warning. The 4x4 system is not engaging and the traction is in the front wheels at the moment. I took it to a Jeep dealership for a general diagnostic and was told that I have code C14A7-97 (PTU Motor Component or System Operation...

    2014 jeep cherokee trailhawk 97k miles. I'm having an issue where my jeep cherokee makes a knocking noise that sounds like it is coming from the PTU(68307403ag) . No noise at idle only when moving. Plugging a computer into it and accessing the PTU control module forcing 2wd resolves the...

    Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice and ideas. Last night, I went to change my oil (unsuccessful because I finally stripped the drain plug, but that's another matter) and noticed that there is oil dripping down the PTU housing on the side of the transmission. I will take photos tonight when I...

    3 weeks ago I took my Jeep to get new brakes - needed all new brakes, no problem. I drove it for about a week after that and started to notice a noise and took it back to the service shop. They said they added grease and it was fine. The next day the ‘Service 4WD’ light came on and the noise...

    I have a 2015 Limited with 98k. the PTU went out. dealer wont cover it under recall because its not an affected unit. The specific part number for this vehicles PTU is 68307402AI. I get that they wont do the recall because the VIN doesnt show it to be a vehicle needing it. Im curious as to why...

    Hey guys, so I just found the perfect car for me (theoretically). It’s a 2015 Cherokee trail hawk with 48,000 miles. The car drives just fine and shifts to 4L smoothly. However, I noticed on the test drive while taking a low speed turn the car jerked almost like a slipping transmission. This...

    2019 TrailHawk Elite Was on vacation, driving west on I-40 about 30 miles east of Albuquerque and all of a sudden my RPMs jumped up to red line and I lost all power. Managed to get pulled over, put shifter into Park and could hear a grinding sound as I'm assuming the PTU and tranny were trying...
