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.

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:

Started experiencing the ABS and Traction Control lights coming on, sometimes momentarily and very intermittently, sometimes (but less frequently) coming on for long periods of time. The frequency of these events has been increasing. A scan of the vehicle indicates I am receiving these this code... C0020-01 - ABS Pump Motor Control - General Electrical Failure This seems to be a very common complaint on my truck's make, model, and year. The result is I lose cruise control functionality, four-wheel drive, and seemingly the use of anti-lock breaks and traction control. It is very irritating as the warning lights and alarms often go on-off many times a minute, often going on for hours.

C0020-01 - ABS Pump Motor Control - General Electrical Failure This seems to be a very common complaint on my truck's make, model, and year. The result is I lose cruise control functionality, four-wheel drive, and seemingly the use of anti-lock breaks and traction control. It is very irritating as the warning lights and alarms often go on-off many times a minute, often going on for hours.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

ABS light and traction control light illuminated on dash. Service both comes up on info screen. Wheels will skid when braking in wet weather, rain, snow and or ice. Will lose traction when departing from a stop in wet weather, or starting from a stop on a hill. Safety of myself and any or all occupants (wife,grandkids,friends) including other vehicles and their occupants around me whenever this truck is operated. Problem has been reproduced warning lights have been on constantly for over one year and are on still today. Refuse to take it to the dealer due to the fact I have to pay for diagnostics on a safety issue they refuse to recognize as a problem, and then they want to charge me over 1K to fix with no guarantee of solving the problem. Warning lamps are on chimes from dash Lights came on 8/1/2023 and remain on to this day.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I bought a 2018 ram 2500 last year and ever since driving it off the lot the abs light constantly turns off and on and recently the abs modulator has completely failed at 115,000 miles. It affects the cruise control and braising ability of the vehicle and I cannot use the truck properly or safely due to the constant abs issues.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

On 20 Mar 2024, the vehicle throttle went to full throttle and was stuck in full throttle while on the highway. After kicking the accelerator pedal multiple times the throttle came out of full and then entered limp mode with the message “service electronic throttle control” displayed. The accelerator pedal did not stick on anything and the truck actively pulled the accelerator pedal away from my foot and completely into the firewall. Luckily the brakes were strong enough to control the acceleration but this occurred in a packed part of the highway with few options to pull to the side of the road. After kicking the pedal more and cycling the power to the truck, it exited limp mode and normal operation was restored. Afterward the truck displayed no codes so the mechanic could not verify the problem. This has occurred 3 times now.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The ABS system begins to fault and flash warnings intermittently while driving down the highway or any road. This could cause the ABS system to fail on an event it is needed to avoid a crash or object in the roadway. Research on the internet shows this is a common issue with this year and model and there is a class action suit for it.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Intermittent alerts related to service ABS light on the dash along with Traction Control light. Seems to disable ABS when the fault light comes on, also disables cruise control during driving when the service alerts flash on the dash. Constant beeping of the alert is a major distraction. Truck has 26,000 miles in it. Dealership said ABS module and HCU need to be replaced but parts are on back order until August but are not positive when parts will be available. Why is this not a recall?
