Jeep Grand Cherokee: Electrical

Affects Jeep Grand Cherokee · 2016 — about 2K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, there may be an incorrect crimp on the wire harness terminal of the brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI) solenoid. This could result in a loss of solenoid function, which could cause the transmission to lock in the Park or Neutral gear without warning when the vehicle comes to a stop. Depending on the driver's reactions and traffic conditions, this could increase the risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the gear shifter assembly.
