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.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Driving in traffic a vehicle in front made a sudden emergency manuver. I braked to avoid, the ABS warning light flashed and beeped "service abs system". The failed abs system nearly caused an accident. Took to the dealer, and they replaced the failed abs module under warranty at 20k miles on truck. Now, with 34k miles it failed again. Parts are reported to be on national backorder. Friends with this model truck are experiencing similar failures. Fact that these trucks are often work trucks, towing etc make these failures very serious. I urge you folks to push Ram to recall these defective parts before someone is killed.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Abs light comes on and off all the time. Randomly and hitting a bump. Code is c0020-01. The cruise control is disabled when this occurs. Also I assume abs would be disabled also. Took truck to dealer to look at. They tell me there is no engineering fix at this time for this issue and no parts available. Upon research online looks to be a common problem that RAM has. There is an issue with pump motor electrical brushes making contact which causes this issue. Truck is a fairly low mile truck.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Vehicle warning lights and message on dash keep going off and on indicating need to service the ABS system following a break-job. Warning comes and goes as many as 30 times per minute. Anti-lock brakes and traction control are currently inoperable. Dealer cannot diagnose between electronic ABS module and hydraulic control unit blames one or both as culprit. Module is on back-order from Mopar due to this being a widespread and prevailing issue and they even suggested the matter has been escalated to their engineers for a more robust solution. My ABS pump module was replaced under warranty at 90k miles. I was quoted $1800 to repair upon part availability. I would appreciate the NHTSA investigating this matter for eligibility of a forced recall with Ram to pay some or all costs to remedy.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Hitting bumps causes an intermittent chime and notification alerting me that the Antilock Breaking System and Electronic Breaking System need service. Both the ABS and traction control lights are illuminated. I contacted my local dealer and they indicated that this isn't an immediate safety concern and is due to an electrical issue for which they haven't solved. They quoted me $1,600 for the replacement of the Anti-Lock Brake System Module and Hydraulic Control Unit. After some online research, it seems that this is a common issue with many resulting in total brake failures. A potential brake system failure should be a recall for obvious reasons.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Service Electronic Braking System and Service Antilock Braking System lights have been popping on the dash for the last two months nonstop at random times. Sometimes I can drive for hours and not see them, then other times they flicker on and off constantly. It’s very frustrating as my truck has only 27000 miles for a 2018. I’ve checked rear wheel sensors and found a tiny bit of metal shavings which from what I’ve read could be wheel bearings but still don’t know a for sure answer. I’m about tired of chasing down this rabbit trail. What caused this was I was backing my trailer and I started to spin a little and the lights came on so I clicked into 4x4 and lights stayed on. I turned the truck off and thought nothing of it and next morning truck had no lights on that day. But ever since then I’ve been plagued with them going on and off.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The abs/traction control lights are coming back on again. The abs control module and the hydraulic control unit were replaced when the truck had 34,000 miles. Now it has close to 60,000 and it has started doing the same thing again. Talked to the dealer and they said it would be close to $2000 to do the repair this time since it isn't under warranty. I have seen many of this same problem in a lot of the ram or cummins forums and feel this is a known issue and should be recalled. You lose the abs and traction control when these are out but it is intermittent. Fortunately, I haven't had an accident from this so far but could very well see how it could cause an accident. When my traction control was out the truck fish tailed on a wet road.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The issue with the Electronic Braking System and ABS has worsened. The two warning lamps are almost constantly on, or rapidly come on and go off rapidly. If I'm towing a trailer, all braking is lost momentarily - brake pedal to the floor - including the trailer brakes. The trailer brakes do not return until an ignition cycle, if the warning lamps stay off, that is. The dealer says no parts are available, but won't even take it in for troubleshooting or attempted repair. This truck scares me. This has been an issue for about two years and 20,000 miles.
