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. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf.

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

Potential Risk:
If the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

While driving on interstate, Abs system went out, and as a consequence, the cruiser control also failed unexpectedly. Vehicle has less than 60,000 miles on odometer. Per review of this issue on the web, there is currently a class action lawsuit against Stellantis regarding this particular issue. Moreover, there is plenty of data to suggest that replacement parts also fail in short order…within the warranty period of the part. Problem was reproduced…problem was recurrent…problem was verified…by dealer. Warning caution messages were presented on the instrument cluster. Dealer ordered replacement HCU (hydraulic control unit). In the interim, dealer said vehicle was safe to drive. The very next day after picking truck up from dealer…while waiting for HCU part to arrive and be installed….By sheer coincidence, or directly related, I lost almost all brake pressure within 3 weeks of first receiving the abs fail message…while driving on the interstate. I didnt know of the diminished braking until I began to exit the interstate at high speed. Very, very dangerous situation….brake pedal to the floor…and much distance required to get the truck to a stop. Fortunately, no other vehicle was in my path as I tried to get the truck slowed and stopped.

Potential Consequences:

I am experiencing problems with my ABS & Traction Control system. This is the 3rd time I have had this issue with my truck since I purchased it new in 2018. The truck only has 56k miles on it. ABS/Traction control is definitely a safety issue due to brake not functioning properly as the truck is designed to do. Dealer says there are no alternative parts that can be installed & there is no recall. This is a rather costly replace/repair. Why is RAM not doing something to address this issue? There are forums online that say this is a known issue. Some state that RAM recalled some selected trucks, but my truck does not come up for the recall. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ABS IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO FAIL IN RAINY CONDITIONS. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS TO OUR ABS SYSTEM EVERY COUPLE YEARS. THE CODE COMING UP IS: C0020-01 - ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL - GENERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

ABS & Traction control light keeps coming on. Believe this is a safety issue. My research has shown this to be a major problem with vehicles like mine and the parts are not available. My family and I use this vehicle to tow a camper and I feel that the manufacturer should issue a recall and repair since this is a known safety issue. This started approximately one month ago and is continuing to get worse.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I purchased the subject vehicle in NEW condition in September 2019. On April 2021 the vehicle ABS lights came on and off. The mileage of the vehicle at that time was 16,538. I took the vehicle in to get serviced by ANCIRA Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership and the HCU PUMP was replaced. I have the service invoice that has all this information. On August 20, 2023, the same lights came on. The vehicle now has 48,000 miles on it. As a part time mechanic, I conducted a diagnostic test and found that the error code is the same as the initial incident, which is Code C0020-01-ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL - GENERAL ELECTRIC FAILURE. The vehicle no longer as a warranty and since there are no available parts available for repair, I have no choice but to drive this truck putting myself and my family in danger. The vehicle is available for inspection if needed.
