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.

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.

For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf

Potential Risk:

I have had problems with the ABS lights and warning come on 4 times. 2 times I have had it repaired by Philips Dodge Ram in Ocala Florida. I had it repaired at my own expense at Hilton Automotive and once under warranty at Hilton Automotive. My truck only has 12145 miles on it. The lights are still on and the warning flashes at times. It appears to have something to do with the temperature. After repairing it worked for a week or so until the temperature dropped under 75 at night. I cannot afford to spend over $1000 a month to keep this straight.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The ABS and Traction Control lights constantly come on, even after replacement HCU and ABS parts are replaced. It’s a once a year fix, and should be recalled. Once the lights come on, braking is affected, and cruise control no longer functions. I used a previous date, because I need to replace the parts again, for the third time. I have asked Ram support to just send me the parts, and I will do the repair, but unfortunately, they prefer that I continue to pay the dealer to repeat the same repair over and over.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The ABS and Traction Control lights constantly come on, even after replacement HCU and ABS parts are replaced. It’s a once a year fix, and should be recalled. Once the lights come on, braking is affected, and cruise control no longer functions. I used a previous date, because I need to replace the parts again, for the third time. I have asked Ram support to just send me the parts, and I will do the repair, but unfortunately, they prefer that I continue to pay the dealer to repeat the same repair over and over.

Corrective Action:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

My ABS and traction control light intermittently blinks on and off. I took my vehicle to the dealership and was told this is a known issue. That I need a new ABS power module and controller. The parts are very expensive and on back order. I was informed to continue driving the vehicle until the parts are available.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

In July, I drove over a bridge expander bump and now I am getting two errors: 1) Service anti-lock braking system with the ABS light on; 2) Service electronic brake system with the traction control light lit. The lights and notice come on then go off for a few minutes then back on again. This repeats until I turn the truck off and restart it. It then stopped for several months, but is now doing it again yesterday after driving over a very small bump in the road. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This problem puts me and my family at risk because the anti-lock braking system and traction control are deactivated during these incidents. I am not able to reproduce the problem at will, it happens randomly and intermittently. The vehicle has not been inspected yet. On-line research indicates many owners are having to replace ABS sensor and pump around the same amount of mileage as mine.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The truck consistently flashes a warning for “Service Antilock Brake System” and a scanning tool provides the code C0020-01. The truck was evaluated at a local mechanic, who indicated the code represented a general ABS system failure. I have researched the issue and found that this problem is a common complaint with 2018 Ram 2500s.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Starting March of 2022 I began having intermittent alarms for the anti-lock brake system needing to be serviced. Often the alarm would come on and off going over small bumps in the road. With time the issue became worse and the alarm is on all the time. This affects the vehicles anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and the cruise control. I took my car to a mechanic and they found that both the hydraulic control unit and the anti-lock brake system module need to be replaced. Cost is over $2000, but feel I need to replace to have a safe vehicle as I often pull a trailer.
