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.

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.

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.

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:

The ABS lights and traction control lights alarm keeps flashing on and off at random intervals) on my 2018 Ram 2500 4x4 with 18,000 miles on it. When the ABS Light and traction control light come on intermittently it also disengaged the cruise controls. At first it was here and there or when I hit a bump or turning the steering wheel right or left. Thought it was possibly a wheel speed sensor. Checked code with scanner and got “ABS pump motor control-general electrical failure”. Thought the issue was the ABS module based on my scan. I tried to find the part I had to call all over the place due to supply chain issues. When I spoke to a parts person from a dealership I explained the issue and code. He stated that the General Electric code failure was the HCU and not the ABS module. It’s bad when your cruising at the speed limit of 70 mile an you and the cruise control quits working an you ned to react to the traffic but, my real concern is that the ABS won't work and could cause the truck wheels to lock-up during a panic/hard stop.

Since I was not aware of this issue, the truck slowed down and I was almost hit. I had to pull off the road to figure out what was going on.

ABS Service Required Light and alarm and Electronic Braking light and alarm are coming on and going off. Just started in the last week. Apparently this issue has existed since 2018 with no recall issued to date. ABS module has not been available and shows Discontinued. I have not been to the dealer at this point, but from research the problem is a bad ABS module from factory. Hundreds of other trucks are affected with no resolution. I have to tow a 38 ft trailer and it may be unsafe if ABS fails. I do NOT want to have an accident and destroy my truck and trailer and/or have my wife and I injured or worse. The vehicle is available for inspection. I would be certain that the threshold for complaints has been met. If you are serious about vehicle safety, you will put a recall on the affected vehicles and require the parts be made available for repair sooner than later. I have seen where people have waited several months and still have no parts. Also, the cost of repair out of warranty is somewhere between $1200 and $1700 . For a manufacturer defect this should not happen. Please issue a recall!

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Coming down a ridge with a loaded hay trailer approximately 14500 pounds, the Service Electronic Braking System and Service Automatic Braking System messages appeared in the cluster EVIC display and the service brake and traction control warning lamps illuminated and there was associated chime. I applied the brake pedal and it went to the floor with zero affect. The trailer brakes didn't respond either. I used the exhaust brake and skillful downshifting (it has a manual transmission) to slow the vehicle and then used the foot applied emergency brake pedal to bring the truck to a stop. I was lucky I was already carefully descending off of the ridge and I was able to downshift and slow before engine RPM became an issue. I cycled the ignition and the warnings went away. I very carefully and very slowly completed my descent off the ridge. Now the warnings, light, and chime are incessantly coming in and then just as soon turning off. I don't trust the truck is fit for my purposes at this point in time. I hadn't been that scared since my dad and I lost a rear axle and brakes on our 1969 Ford F-250 with a load of wood in the back coming down a mountain road when I was 12.
