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.

Potential Consequences:

While driving pulling a trailer the service antilock brake system light started to flash on and off sporadically the entire time i was driving. It does it now every time i start the truck. Doing research it's a know problem. The truck has 43k miles. While the light is on the braking is not what it should be for a truck that can haul the loads it's supposed to. Definitely a safety hazard.

Potential Consequences:

This complaint is the same as many seen by googling this problem. There’s a beep and then the ABS and traction control light come on. Message is given to service abs system. Then the message goes off and returns a few seconds later. this happens consistently during the driving duration. This only happens about every other driving session, but when it happens, it’s consistent. This is a known incident that is happening in 200s perhaps thousands of drivers. It sounds like a malfunctioning part to me, plus I have no idea if I have a real issue. I called ram care with no help.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The service electronic brake light and traction control light on my 2018 Ram 2500 keeps going on and off while driving. This started with only 12,048 miles and 6 weeks over my 3 year warranty. Research shows that this is a common issue with 2018 Rams and newer. Thousands of complaints have been reported and there are several Class Action Lawsuits regarding this issue in several States. Also being reported, is that this issue causes towing problems and the cruise control to malfunction, so I don't dare to use either when traveling. Even with repairs, if you can find the parts, some owners are reporting several repeated failures. You can't replace defective parts with more defective parts and expect a resolution to the problem. Though I have not had brake failure yet, and with only 27,000 mile, it is always on my mind while driving. I don't feel safe when driving my vehicle, hence the low mileage. Chrysler needs to be held accountable and a recall needs to be issued for all makes/models/years having this issue.
