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.
FREE Recall Solution:
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.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

My truck is turning hard and is an issue driving. There are recalls for the same year and online states it has recalls for rams manufactured before 10-2018 and my truck was manufactured on 7-2018. I’m being told there is no recall. Why if dodge has an issue with power steering with those models like mine is my issue not covered . This is a major safety issue and is obviously related. I also had an issue with a recall with my back window leaking right after I bought this and again the vin number had no recall but was obviously an issue for these models for the year and make. Dodge needs to do better the steering issue could put someone’s life at risk not just my own!

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

October 10, 2024, approximately 6:10AM PST. While accelerating on freeway on-ramp to merge into traffic that was also accelerating, the truck shifted the transmission into neutral. Vehicles behind truck had to swerve around my truck, while I stepped on brake pedal in the middle of accelerating traffic to be able to shift truck back into drive to continue onto freeway. This is not the first arbitrary shift into neutral from this truck. About a year and a half ago, it was happening regularly, until I cleaned the throttle body, then the arbitrary shifts into neutral stopped.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Good morning, My vehicle was brought in based on a check engine light on or about August 6 2024. The vehicle is under full factory extended warranty. It has been in the shop for over two months awaiting parts. I have been told that a defective DPF is the problem, and the truck requires over $4600 in repairs. They claim none of this is covered by the "Bumper to bumper" warranty. I explained that the system never worked properly, that the truck only went into "Regeneration" one time. That is was serviced consistently by the dealership and is in perfect condition. So far, no replacement vehicle has been offered or provided. There was a summary judgement on these trucks and the sale was delayed pending correction of emissions problems. * I believe those problems were never addressed and this failure is widespread in the 2019 EcoDiesel RAM 1500. Further RAM has failed to maintain an adequate supply of spare parts to remedy a common failure in the vehicles. I was told there are currently 18 claims before mine. It merits consideration from NTSB that this judgment against RAM should be extended to 2019 vehicles, although they claimed to have: Fixed. them". I have written RAM, emailed the dealership, called customer service on numerous occasions and copies of letters are available on request.

AIR BAGS

Potential Consequences:

While driving my 2019 RAM 1500 on 12 September 2024 my airbag warning light came on. Shortly thereafter I took my pickup to the RAM dealership's service department to ID the problem. The service manager looked at the airbag warning light and told me that the restraint system works in unison with the seat belt restraint system. So, while troubleshooting the restraint system she pulled on the seat belt multiple times. Each and every time she pulled it with various degrees of force the seat belt failed to lock. She told me that this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. She went on to say that failure to fix this issue can be very harmful for the driver in a collision where the seat belt restraint fails to lock. She recommended that the vehicle should not be driven until this safety issue is fixed.

So, while troubleshooting the restraint system she pulled on the seat belt multiple times. Each and every time she pulled it with various degrees of force the seat belt failed to lock. She told me that this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. She went on to say that failure to fix this issue can be very harmful for the driver in a collision where the seat belt restraint fails to lock. She recommended that the vehicle should not be driven until this safety issue is fixed.

SEAT BELTS

Potential Consequences:

While driving my 2019 RAM 1500 on 12 September 2024 my airbag warning light came on. Shortly thereafter I took my pickup to the RAM dealership's service department to ID the problem. The service manager looked at the airbag warning light and told me that the restraint system works in unison with the seat belt restraint system.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

My 2019 Ram 1500 is experiencing the exact same issues listed in recall 75B but my VIN number is not part of the recall. The symptoms that it is having are the exact ones listed in your recall from 9/11/24 concerning the ABS and stability control issues. It is very disheartening that there wasn’t a better investigation done on this issue either on your end or on Ram’s end. I’m sure there are plenty more vehicles that are affected that aren’t in this recall. My truck did it as I was going highway speeds (70mph) and the abs and stability control issues also disengaged my speed control as I was on the highway. It was a good thing there wasn’t another car behind me or I would have been struck from behind.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Heated steering wheel failed. Components and/or wiring melted. This was discovered about 5 months ago and it took that long to get replacement parts because they were on back order. This is a common issue in RAM trucks. If you google you can find the issue in many different articles and Forums, yet no recall on it. Fix is over $1400. It believe the fix is changing a clock spring if it isn't already melted. Mine was melted. This is a long standing RAM issue with back ordered parts. It should be looked at as a recall. It's not a safety issue per say, but seems like a manufacturing defect that is very costly to the customer if they don't have extended warranty.
