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.

Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

There is an ongoing issue on the 2018 model RAM 3500 trucks, with their braking system. This is the 4th time that my ABS brakes have failed. There should have been a recall a long time ago. This last time the ABS failed, I brought the truck to the Garber Dealership in Greencove Springs, FL 31 July 2024. They didn't have the part and stated that it wouldn't be available until Feb 2024. They received the part (Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)) and I brought my truck in to have the repair conducted 13 Feb 2024. The dealership called me later that day and told me that they ran into an issue that the HCU was not communicating with the ABS Module and the technician was unable to bleed the brakes. She said that they needed to order the ABS Module. After not hearing any status following that, I called back the late afternoon of 15 Feb 2024 and was told that the part wouldn't be available until June. Prior to bringing in the truck, I had brakes, just not ABS which also cancels out cruise control and trailer brakes. Now it has NO brakes and it sits on their lot until June. I bought the truck new from this dealership and the following is the history of every time the HCU and ABS Module was replaced: 1st time, 12 Sep 2029, 5,374 miles; 2nd time, 11 Mar 2021, 13,136 miles; 3rd time, 19 Aug 2022, 20,607 miles; 4th and current time, 31 July 2023, 29,769 miles. If this is the not the correct agency to help with this issue, please let me know who to contact. Thank You.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I purchased vehicle new June 2018. On [XXX]. I had a Fault code of ABS brakes system and took to Mountain Valley motors Blue Ridge, Georgia for repair and replacement of hydraulic control unit. At that time the mileage 22,140. [XXX] had the same failure again and the fault code reading service ABS brake system. Took the truck to Jim Brown Dade city Florida for Repair with the fault, code reading, and replaced again the same hydraulic control unit for the brake system. Second replacement of same part. Mileage 31,482. [XXX] had the same reoccurring fault code service antilock brake system when red same problem replace hydraulic control unit for the ABS brake system. Had that repair done again and mileage 37,290. At that time they had stated a new hydraulic control part was available with part number ending in AB. Part installed 68143491AB. After returning home, approximately 120 miles later, I am having fault flash on dash screen again, saying to service ABS brake system and then disappears. I took the truck to the dealership Jim Brown. They connected their computer and said there was no codes to be read. I again had the same message flash up every day. The first time I started the vehicle and would disappear. I took the vehicle back to Jim Brown dealership. They read the code again with an additional approximate 140 miles, and no code appeared on the computer. I was told, then to just let the part fail. Is that putting me and my family in jeopardy possibly fatally by a manufacturer refusing to repair vehicle which has been a known issue before 2017 based on ram TSB advisories that I have in my possession, addressing the issue of the faulty ABS braking system. I have exhausted, all avenues with ram cares and ram dealership to. Please advise where I can go with this issue.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I was driving my family and the ABS light randomly popped on during a rain event and the vehicle had difficulty keeping traction. The vehicle was scanned and the code C002-01 was displayed meaning that the ABS module had issues. The vehicle has not been inspected, today, February 13th 2024 I reached out to Tacoma Dodge where the vehicle has previously been serviced to determine if this was a known issue since after a quick google it sounds like I am not the only one experiencing the issue. More digging pulled up a publication from Ram #S2005000004 which talks about the issue and parts being restricted. I also found an additional source that mentioned a class action lawsuit. I figured it was in my best interest and other owners who have experienced this issue to notify the NHTSA to assist with the investigation.
