Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Potential Risk:
If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.

When you google the problem it seems to be a very common problem among RAM truck owners is typically occurs because the plastic (instead of metal) gears fail. This issue is a health and safety concern for the driver of these trucks with a broken mirror, other drivers on the road, and pedestrians. When the plastic gear breaks the mirrors so not stay in place as they should so when you go to look in the mirror the view/angle might be off (i.e. the mirror won't show the view that you set it to show because the mirror moves around due to the broken gear). There should be a recall on plastic gears to replace them with a metal gears.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Power steering intermittent failure. Doesn’t appear to be related to truck use: it happens when truck is first turned on, happens while driving. The gauge screen turns red, says “Power Steering Unavailable,” and power steering is lost. Power steering dash light turns on. Power steering is lost, sometimes for a second, sometimes for longer. This happens at idle, as well as driving various speeds (20 mph-60 mph). It happens while driving straight and in turns. Thankfully it has only gone out on slow-speed turns so far. It resets when truck is turned off, but will fail a few seconds after turning on. There is a recall for this exact problem. The recall manufacture window ends one month before the manufacture date of our truck. We have contacted a service representative at a dealership and they refused to fix the problem under the recall for that specific problem because our truck’s VIN is one month beyond the recall window. Is there even the slightest possibility that a faulty rack/wiring affected by this recall was installed on the vehicle. The recall date must be expanded. A sudden loss of power steering while driving may have serious consequences, including loss of life.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

Hemi 5.7L ticking. Took the truck to another mechanic to assess and the engine is filled with metal shavings from a failed assembly at 50k miles. A power train assembly should get at minimum 100k miles before any issues would arrive. A STAR report has been generated on this very issue. However, we purchased this vehicle used with 91 miles on the odometer as it was listed as the previous owner being the manufacturer itself and was used and moved around from showroom to showroom as a floor model. We have no warranty and now must replace the entire engine due to the metal shavings found throughout the engine. Cost to replace is 10k+ which is horrifying an engine must be replaced at 50K miles due to a known product design flaw causing so many of us to experience the same exact issue around 50k miles. Fiat only replaces those under warranty with the same flawed/defective part only to have the same issue reappear...that to me means the part design is flawed. Both of our mechanics said this is a known defect that many of their customers have experienced. Our check engine light came on prior to a scheduled visit to our mechanic on July 8 as we were hearing a ticking noise. Magically, the morning of the 8th when I first went start the truck to take to our mechanic regarding the light the light was not on any longer. We still attended the appointment to check out the tick. He recommended engine replacement. When I left the mechanics and got 5 miles down the road the check engine light came back on. Since then we took to another mechanic who dismantled the engine somewhat to check the lifter assembly and sure enough there it was, completely disintegrated, hanging on by a thread left of an actual bolt, metal shavings in the oil pan too. He indicated to us that when that small thread left from the bolt finally failed the engine would seize up and we would lose power immediately. Extremely dangerous at highway speeds or driving up and down the mountainous areas.

However, we purchased this vehicle used with 91 miles on the odometer as it was listed as the previous owner being the manufacturer itself and was used and moved around from showroom to showroom as a floor model. We have no warranty and now must replace the entire engine due to the metal shavings found throughout the engine. Cost to replace is 10k+ which is horrifying an engine must be replaced at 50K miles due to a known product design flaw causing so many of us to experience the same exact issue around 50k miles. Fiat only replaces those under warranty with the same flawed/defective part only to have the same issue reappear...that to me means the part design is flawed. Both of our mechanics said this is a known defect that many of their customers have experienced. Our check engine light came on prior to a scheduled visit to our mechanic on July 8 as we were hearing a ticking noise. Magically, the morning of the 8th when I first went start the truck to take to our mechanic regarding the light the light was not on any longer. We still attended the appointment to check out the tick. He recommended engine replacement. When I left the mechanics and got 5 miles down the road the check engine light came back on. Since then we took to another mechanic who dismantled the engine somewhat to check the lifter assembly and sure enough there it was, completely disintegrated, hanging on by a thread left of an actual bolt, metal shavings in the oil pan too. He indicated to us that when that small thread left from the bolt finally failed the engine would seize up and we would lose power immediately. Extremely dangerous at highway speeds or driving up and down the mountainous areas.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

RAM 1500 - 2019 - about 50,000 miles Vehicle had check engine light, code was failed spark plug. Also lost coolant. Took it to a independent mechanic shop near home and they confirmed the head gasket has failed via pressure test. Truck is 4 months out of warranty and the dealership / manufacturer is not helping me resolve the issue. The coolant was leaking into that particular spark plug. Can’t drive this vehicle and the repairs are in the $8000-$10,000 range. My local dealerships want to charge me about $4,000 to take the engine apart and determine what the issue is. Chrysler / RAM should be held responsible because they know this engine is known to fail and the cause of poor manufacturing. I’m out of options and I’m looking for any type of assistance or resolve to this issue.

SEAT BELTS

Potential Consequences:

There was a recall W67 on the same make and model but my vin was not included. However, I have the same issue now with the seatbelt retractor. It has failed causing the air bag light to come on and they are not sure it will work properly either. I’m hoping this recall can be revisited and extended to my vehicle.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I purchased my 2019 Ram 1500 in Sept 2018. I have had continuous steering issues since the day of purchase and each time I've complained over the past years nothing has been done by the dealer to address my problem. When the truck is warmed up and you're driving over 50 mph there's a "catch" or spot that seems to have a rough spot when steering to the left. It's fine when turning right, only when turning left does it occur. It's progressively getting worse and as the truck now has over 36,000 miles, (43,00 at time or writing this) the dealers are not interested in looking into my issues. I have made at least 5 or 6 complaints over the years and each time have been told they'll look into and get back to me. I feel now it's reached the point where it's not all that safe to drive or that the system could completely fail. How do I get Ram to get serious and address this issue. I know there's been time lapses on my part but as an 87 year old, time gets by me.
