Chrysler (fca Us Llc)
Safety Issue:
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I continually get the ABS warning light lilting up on my dashboard screen along with a sway control light. The obvious risk is the failure of the braking system especially on hard braking situations or slippery roads. This risks injury and/or death to myself and any passengers as well as vehicles traveling in my vicinity. This is a well known problem with dealers as well as many owners. The same issue has been identified in newer versions of the same vehicle and been recalled. The issue has been identified as a malfunction with the hydraulic brake control unit and the anti-lock brake system module. This is a problem already known to the manufacturer and is also the subject of a class action lawsuit in California. This safety issue should certainly be resolved by the manufacturer by a recall in an expeditious manner.

Potential Consequences:
Pulling loaded livestock trailer on interstate at highway speed (65 mph) using cruise control in 2017 Ram 2500 diesel pickup when experienced rapid deceleration as the result of ABS/HCU failure. This rapid deceleration caused vehicles behind me to skid trying to avoid a rear end collision with my vehicle. Confirmed with Ram dealership that ABS/HCU module had failed causing the cruise control to shutoff and that replacement was necessary. The people in my vehicle, the animals in my trailer and others driving on the highway were all put at risk of serious bodily harm or even death as a result of this unit failure.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The service antilock brake system/ service electronic braking system lights began turning on and off intermittently around August of 2022. These would sometimes be prompted or exacerbated by wet driving conditions or bumps, but often just at random while driving. At the beginning of the issue, vehicle had roughly 48,000 miles. After paying for diagnosis, the failed part was deemed to be the ABS pump motor-general electrical failure, code C0020-0 as well as code C006C-9A for stability system component failure. Being RAM dealer-only parts and needing software flashes for installation, this repair costs between $1000 and $2000 USD. This failure leaves these HD trucks without ABS systems (functioning systems are required in many states for vehicle safety inspections). The cherry on top of this situation is the replacement parts are unavailable nation-wide as FCA "switches manufactures". This leaves the ABS inoperable and the trucks completely unsafe with absolutely NO alternative actions. No loaner vehicles offered, no recourse for failing safety inspections, nothing. Many folks use these as business or work trucks, depend on them, and have no choice but to keep driving with the issue as-is. This is a blatant hazard and needs to be corrected as soon as possible.

Potential Consequences:
The indicator lights for abs and traction control appeared, and the driver information panel stated a problem with the abs electronic control. I am uncertain if this will lead to a failure in the braking of my truck. This problem was repaired twice by a Ram dealer; the most recent being on October 4, 2022. I have learned this is an issue that was recalled on the 2019-2020 models, and there is a class action lawsuit in relation to the 2017-2018 models.

HCU for ABS brake system has now failed for a second time. They can not even supply a part to repair. Now on back order hold til 02/2024. So I have to risk driving with no abs system until then and not certain if it will be extended again. This is a known issue for RAM. They should fix this and put out a recall and reimburse me for time and repairs. I hope no one gets killed for this. Alot of Rams on the road just like me now.
Corrective Action:
HCU for ABS brake system has now failed for a second time. They can not even supply a part to repair. Now on back order hold til 02/2024. So I have to risk driving with no abs system until then and not certain if it will be extended again. This is a known issue for RAM. They should fix this and put out a recall and reimburse me for time and repairs. I hope no one gets killed for this. Alot of Rams on the road just like me now.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I have a 2017 RAM 2500. The abs and traction control light are flashing on and off SEVERAL times each trip. It kicks my cruise off and sometimes stays on. The EVIC display showed Service Antilock Braking System and alternated to Service Electronic Brake System. It would constantly bing and display the ABS light and the Traction Control light. seems a recall should be mandatory for replacement of the 68437098AB Module Anti Lock Brake System and the 68143491AA Control Anti Lock Brake System or whatever is causing this issue. it is a safety issue.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
ABS control module failed 3 times in under 39000 miles. First instance was repaired under warranty in 02/2019 with control unit replaced. Second instance was repaired out of warranty in 03/2020. Third instance of failure occurred in 08/2023. Symptom of failure is ABS/TC indicator light repeatedly flashing and warning sound in cabin. The repeated warning makes the vehicle undriveable for any length of time. It is unclear if the ABS is actually functioning as I would not drive in poor traction conditions with this warning. The ABS control module or related wiring in this truck is defective and the repairs implemented by Chrysler/Dodge/RAM do not resolve the problem. Replacing the ABS control unit is a temporary solution as the unit will fail with identical symptoms 1-3 years later.
