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.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The ABS module and/or HCU on my truck is bad causing me to lose ABS functionality. The ABS light comes on and a tone alerts me to the problem. This normally happens randomly, and the problem comes and goes. The cost to repair looks to be around $1600 from the dealer. With this being such a safety issue, it seems reasonable for a recall to be put into place to address the issue. The issue is further complicated because there is a new and improved version of these parts, but the new parts have been on backorder.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
My abs keeps going on and off repeatedly. This is what I have read in many forums. I don't understand why there hasn't been a recall for the part. The module is flawed and I believe there is a class action lawsuit. Apparently there is a back order until 2024 and I do not wish to put the same broken part in my $70,000.00 truck! I just want my truck fixed.

My ABS Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) Part Number 68143491AA seems to have failed and it seems as it is a very common problem which needs to be addressed by RAM. My ABS is not working, my traction control is not working, and my cruise control is not working. While I drive it constantly goes on and off and chimes over and over and over. This is VERY dangerous to not have the braking or traction control not working and is putting me and my family in danger. This needs to be a recall. Not to mention the part that needs to be replaced is on national backorder and you can't even get it. Please help.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
For the third time in 37000 miles the abs system including ABS system and electronic brake system has failed. This has been repaired around 15000 miles and recently at 35000 and it went out again at 37000 miles. Didn't last 2500 miles after last repair. When this happens trailer brakes quit functioning and cruise control also quits working as well as every few minutes the system gives you a continuous warning chime. From checki9ng a few web sites this seems to be an on going problem on the 2018 trucks mostly but a few 17s. Last info I have is parts are not avail for repairs until at least 2/24 and then only maybe. The truck is unsafe to drive especially when towing a larger trailer. This needs to be made a recall for safety concerns. I had to trade off my truck due to how I use it and no expectation for a repair time or date.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
In October 2012, my 2018 Ram 2500 had issues with the brake module and ABS system. The truck had 49000 miles when the system intermittently displayed messages to service ABS system. A trusted local mechanic checked and found a service bulletin about the issue. I had him replace the brake module and master cylinder. I then had a Chrysler dealer reprogram the module. My costs was approximately 800 dollars. Now it is summer of 2023 with 65000 miles and the same issue is occurring. I think it is time for Fiat Chrysler America to step up and make these repairs. It is dangerous to have this situation. It affects cruise control, four wheel drive, and of course negates having ABS. I need this truck and cannot afford to park it.

Additional Notes:
In October 2012, my 2018 Ram 2500 had issues with the brake module and ABS system. The truck had 49000 miles when the system intermittently displayed messages to service ABS system. A trusted local mechanic checked and found a service bulletin about the issue. I had him replace the brake module and master cylinder. I then had a Chrysler dealer reprogram the module. My costs was approximately 800 dollars. Now it is summer of 2023 with 65000 miles and the same issue is occurring. I think it is time for Fiat Chrysler America to step up and make these repairs. It is dangerous to have this situation. It affects cruise control, four wheel drive, and of course negates having ABS. I need this truck and cannot afford to park it.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The ABS and Traction Control light comes on. The cruise control is disabled when this happens. Vehicle only has 17k miles but issue started at 16.7k miles. On dry pavement not an issue but on slippery roads and ice and snow this could be a possible cause of an accident. In May I tried to order the ABS control module and Hydraulic Control Unit and was told by the dealership it would not be available until August. I contacted the dealership and now they are telling me late September but more than likely will be later. I was told Dodge is doing an engineering review on these components and that will not be completed until February 2024. According to my research the high failure rate is cause for concern and no parts availability complicates the issue. Why has a recall not been issued by the manufacture. Obviously something is going on with these parts. Should the engineering review by Dodge result in component redesign, I would want to hold off until redesign parts can be obtained. The vehicle is derivable but with winters approach safety concerns should prompt the NHTSA to do something about this issue.
