Chrysler (fca Us Llc)
Safety Issue:
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The ABS failed at 34k miles. The ABS and/or traction control lights turn on intermittently while driving. Using a scanner I see Code C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control Electrical Failure. I called dealerships and many online vendors and parts are on national backorder 1yr. I don't let the family ride in my truck anymore due to safety concerns. Even a slight touch of the brakes and my truck skids. It's wet and cold here in Seattle making it even more dangerous.

Potential Consequences:
ABS/Traction Control dash light comes on and off randomly all the time. The sound is infuriating and kicks off cruise control. Today I came over a hill on highway and there were cars stopped in all lanes ahead. I stepped on the brakes hard and the abs didn't work causing the tires to lock up. I did not hear or feel the normal pulsing in the pedal. I feel there is an actual problem with the abs system and not just an annoying chime and light on the dash. There are thousands of threads about this problem online and I feel that it is cause for a recall. I checked with local dealer and the parts are extremely limited supply because of all the people with the same problem.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Bought vehicle used in August 2022. In August 2023, started getting intermittent chime, abs and brake warning lights and messages to service anti-lock brake system and to service electronic brake system. Took it to my mechanic and he diagnosed a bad abs control module and bad abs hydraulic pump fault codes. He did some research and found this to be a known problem with these trucks. Apparently Stelantis is working the problem but no fix. My mechanic doesn't want to replace the parts for fear the replacement parts are bad too, so I'm living with the problem. He said in the mean time, be aware I have no anti-lock brakes and no cruise control.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The ABS and Traction control lamp keep flashing on and off intermittently. When those warning lights are not lit up, I can use the truck normally. However when they do light up cruise control no longer functions. I have not tested if ABS or Traction Control is not functioning, but I am not going to take a chance. This endangered my family, and surrounding drivers as I was towing our trailer on the freeway and had set the cruise control. In the middle of the drive, the warning lights came on, and the cruise control turned off by itself. At the time we were climbing up a grade, so the truck slowed down rapidly. The Semi-Truck behind almost crashed into me as I tried to determine if I had an engine failure, and deciding if I had to pull over. They honked at me repeatedly. I determined that it was not an engine failure and I could increase speed. By then the truck was below 30 mph. I may have caused more catastrophic issues behind me but, I could not see past the 5th truck behind me. My wife was screaming at me to pull over, and was upset that the vehicle was not working. It works, but the brakes are not dependable for ABS, and cruise control is not dependable. I drove the vehicle several times since and the issue keeps occurring. I have not taken it to a dealership, and do not drive the vehicle anymore at this point. The vehicle has not been inspected as that would require driving it to be inspected. The ABS and Traction Control warning lamps started to illuminate around November of 2022. That was the only indication that something was wrong. I was going to take it to the dealership but it is out of warranty. It drives fine otherwise when the lamp is lit, and it does goes on and off with a dinging sound, but I could not tell that anything was not working. It was not until the incident with the cruise control that I realized it impacted the ability for the cruise control, and that it would turn it off when I am using it. It is completely random.

It was not until the incident with the cruise control that I realized it impacted the ability for the cruise control, and that it would turn it off when I am using it. It is completely random.
Additional Notes:
The ABS and Traction control lamp keep flashing on and off intermittently. When those warning lights are not lit up, I can use the truck normally. However when they do light up cruise control no longer functions. I have not tested if ABS or Traction Control is not functioning, but I am not going to take a chance. This endangered my family, and surrounding drivers as I was towing our trailer on the freeway and had set the cruise control. In the middle of the drive, the warning lights came on, and the cruise control turned off by itself. At the time we were climbing up a grade, so the truck slowed down rapidly. The Semi-Truck behind almost crashed into me as I tried to determine if I had an engine failure, and deciding if I had to pull over. They honked at me repeatedly. I determined that it was not an engine failure and I could increase speed. By then the truck was below 30 mph. I may have caused more catastrophic issues behind me but, I could not see past the 5th truck behind me. My wife was screaming at me to pull over, and was upset that the vehicle was not working. It works, but the brakes are not dependable for ABS, and cruise control is not dependable. I drove the vehicle several times since and the issue keeps occurring. I have not taken it to a dealership, and do not drive the vehicle anymore at this point. The vehicle has not been inspected as that would require driving it to be inspected. The ABS and Traction Control warning lamps started to illuminate around November of 2022. That was the only indication that something was wrong. I was going to take it to the dealership but it is out of warranty. It drives fine otherwise when the lamp is lit, and it does goes on and off with a dinging sound, but I could not tell that anything was not working. It was not until the incident with the cruise control that I realized it impacted the ability for the cruise control, and that it would turn it off when I am using it. It is completely random.
