4.8M Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: May 17, 2018
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.
Additional Details:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

NHTSA Campaign: 18V100000 SAFETY RECALL
180.5K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Feb 8, 2018
Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2018 RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis, 4500 Cab Chassis, and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, all equipped with a column shifter. Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.

Potential Risk:
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update the Body Control Module software. Dealers will also test the BTSI operation, replacing the solenoid as necessary. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U11.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and other exhaust components. When the vehicle is in a "Regeneration" cycle and the vehicle comes to a stop, it dies about 70% of the time. Causing traffic back ups and nearly a reared collision from another driver. This issue started at 112000 miles and does it 3-6 times daily. It's been in and out of the dealer (Young Chrysler Jeep Dodge and Ram Richard Lindema Shop# 385-332-3978 Cell# 801-589-8943) totaling 6 weeks and $22,000 in repair bills and its still not resolved. I see on diesel forums this is a known problem that Dodge doesn't know how to fix.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The ABS on my vehicle malfunctioned and the warning lights appeared on about 8/1/2022. The mechanic pulled the error code C0020-01 ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL - GENERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. His research indicates the solution is to replace both the ABS Control Module and the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit at the same time. As replacing one without the other seems to lead to additional unnecessary and costly repairs to the same part. After contacting every Ram dealer in my area, there are no ABS Control Modules available anywhere. I then checked the internet and it appears that the ABS CM (part# 68347098AB) is not available anywhere with over 2500 on backorder at a single RAM dealership in Texas. It appears that there are many thousands of RAM owners with the same problem and the lack of a replacement part is troubling. The ABS system in vehicles is a BASIC safety feature and a malfuctioning ABS will undoubable lead to crashes and possibly deaths. As a owner of an affected vehicle, I request that you investigate this problem and force RAM to ensure that their vehicles are equipped with the basic safety features that are required by law.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Service Antilock Braking System and Service Electronic Brake System randomly turning on and off once vehicle is started. Sometimes they do not turn on at all. Randomly occurring. The Alerts were not there one day, and the next they were. No moisture, rain, or hard braking occurred to cause this. This is causing traction control and ABS to turn off which will be a major safety hazard once winter comes. This turns out to be a very common issue with these models.

Additional Notes:

The abs and traction control light is on and chimes non stop and my cruise control will not work when the abs and traction control is defective.It needs the abs pump replaced as do many of these trucks. The next issue is the computer sceen is delaminated and is wanting you to adjust the time and chimes non stop, so it will not allow you to turn on your defrosters so you can see the road. This truck is so unsafe it now just sits in my barn while I drive my 2005 ram with 210000 mile on it! The repair cost is around 5000,00 for a truck with 48,000 miles on it! All safty issues!

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Keep getting service ABS system message. Doesnt matter weather conditions or road conditions, it is very random and becoming very frequent. Upon doing some research to figure out the issue, it has become apparent that this is a very common issue with Ram. The Hydraulic Control Unit needs to be replaced as stated by my mechanic that pulled the C0020-01 ABS Pump Control Motor General Electric Failure code. There are way to many websites and forums to list for reference but the issue can be found with a quick google search. Ram knows this is a problem and thats why they are limiting how many of these parts the dealer can get.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

All started when the truck had 472 miles. ESC and service brake light came on. Was repaired on May 9, 2019. March 23, 20 back at dealer for ABS Light and ESC Lights on dash. Dealer replaced both the HCU Unit and ABS Module on truck. December 2, 2021 back at dealer again for the same HCU and ABS Light on dash again. Dealer replaced HCU unit but not ABS Module. August 2, 2022 HCU and ABS lights on again. Contacted dealer they said they would call back with service date but never got a call back. This is a very serious safety issue on these trucks. When the ABS and ESC Lights are on in the truck it disables the Antilock Break System along with traction control, brake controller and if you have 4wd it disables that also. I have had nothing but problems with this truck since it had 472 miles on it. Dodge/Ram refuses to address the problem correctly. They just put another part in knowing it will fail sooner or later and by that time your waranty is out and they want $1600 to repair something they know will break again. What will it take to have them correct this problem (someones life!) I will never but another Dodge product again. They refuse to find a fix for this problem.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I had to brake hard on the freeway to prevent being hit by an 18 wheeler that began to change lanes. Since that incident, every time I press the brake pedal more than 50%, the "Service Electronic Braking System" light flashes on the EVIC. I had the ABS pump replaced in July 2020 under warranty for the same issue, and was advised that it is a known issue, but there was not a recall that has been issued. I have not had any issues with the brake system since the repair until I actually needed it in this instance. This is a safety concern due to the fact that when this occurs, it disables the ABS system.
