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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The incident was the seat belt indicator light came on while driving. Brought it to the dealership and they determined the control module under the driver’s seat needed replacement. I was told the air bags would not deploy if I got into an accident. Not sure other owners have had the same problem. I have read on line that there are numerous rear window leak issues which accumulate water on the floor that could interfere with the control module. It would be nice if ram would investigate the situation to determine if the control module acted on itself or water from the window leak contributed to the malfunction. To date both the rear window and control module has been replaced.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The dashboard instrument cluster of my 2019 RAM 1500 Gen 5, Longhorn model, is completely inoperable (went blank). This poses a safety issue to the driver as it provides important safety readings like velocity, fuel levels, RPMs, engine temperature, and distance traveled, etc. Roadways have a designated maximum speed. Meeting the speed limit is difficult if you can't read your speedometer. You can receive a citation for driving too fast, or worst, you risk getting into an accident. Not being able to read your engine temperature is vital to the life of your engine, it may pose a dangerous situation, as your engine can overheat. When I contacted the dealer, they advised that it is a common issue and that the Manufacturer is aware. The dealer advised that they couldn't duplicate the problem, when I took my truck to the dealer, as my cluster was working at the time. The instrument cluster turns on and off intermittently. The map light of the truck also stopped working. I disconnected the overhead light assembly, disconnected and connected the modules and they seem to work for now.

Corrective Action:

Hard to fuel the vehicle. Takes 15 minutes or more to fill the gas tank. Ram's fix is to replace the gas tank on a 4 year old truck with under 60,000 miles. Filling up using a funnel at a gas station is not safe for me or other drivers. The local dealer said the cost would about $2000. A service notice was issued over a year ago.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I have been experiancing power steering failure on my 2019 Ram 1500 (21,000 miles) vehicle at random times since the end of November 2022. On 12/13/22 it was dropped at a Dodge dealership in Queens NY where they had my vehicle for seven days and I was told it was because of my battery and they installed and charged me for a new one. That was some help but it did not resolve the problem completly and it continued to happen all though less frequently and with time it progressively got worse. On Febuary 14, 2023 I droppped the vehicle at a Dodge dealership in Nanuet NY and there diagnosis was the steering box needed replacement at a cost of $3600.00. The vehicle was brought back to the Queens dealership (this is the area where I work and is more convienant for me) and the steering box was replaced to NO AVAIL, the problem still exists. To say the least I am putting myself and other motorist on the road in EXTREME danger because when that electronic steering goes out it is near impossible to steer this vehicle and I have no other options to get to and from work. So $4000. plus and no one can resolve this issue and I reached out to Chrysler Corporate and they are basicly telling me to bring it back to the dealership for help, which I have done on three occasions and I have gotten NO WHERE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

2 and a half weeks ago I took in my 2019 Ram 1500 to my nearby Dodge dealership for my battery packet to be replaced for a non-communication error. Which resulted in low battery and making the truck struggle to start. I picked up my vehicle last week and been driving it without issues until I took a trip to Cleveland to see my family for thanksgiving. During the drive down with my wife and my two dogs for thanksgiving to see the family, I had partial loss of my power steering. On the highway my power steering light would come on with a notification stating “Power steering unavailable service required” and continued to come on randomly. Resulting in me losing power steering between 1-5 seconds due to it being thanksgiving I continued the drive to my grandmother house. My wife and I was able to make it without any accidents. The next day the same issue continued partially losing power steering for 1-5. We made the trip back to my local dealer however the vehicle was not safe to drive. We could have easily been in an accident due to it being so difficult to turn the wheel when I loss power steering. My dealer has not yet determined the reason for this issue at this time.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

My truck got hit in the front right, including the front right wheel that had a fairly high impact, alloy wheel is bent in one section (see attached photo). After that impact I was not able to steer or apply the breaks. The steering wheel would not move either direction no mater how much force I applied. On top of that, the brake pedal was rock solid and no matter how much force I applied, I could not get the truck to slow down. So I was a passenger and had no control over the truck. We ended up hitting a car parked on the right side of the road (front right wheel was deformed and kept pulling us to the right instead of going straight). After the truck was towed, the people in the tow yard started the truck up and were able to drive it and use the steering and the brakes. So the problem I experienced after the initial hit was not permanent. Is it too much to expect the steering and the brakes to work after a hit to the front right wheel?
