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.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I am getting a warning on this dash telling me that I need to "service electronic braking system". When this message comes up I lose my ABS brakes, cruise control and I get a traction control warning light. Sometimes this will stay on for weeks and then go off for a day and start all over again. When the road is wet you have to be careful with the brakes. I went to the local dealer in Bryan, TX and showed him the warning lights and he told me that I had a bad sensor in the truck. The cost could be as high as $1500.00. The dealership told me that they repair on an average (2) two trucks a DAY foy this PROBLEM. I had the truck checked for any codes in the system and the tech told me that I did not have any codes but yet the tech could see both warning lights on my dash. ABS light and Traction control light.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? On July 28, 2023, while travelling Northbound on Hwy 287 N, the engine brake automatically engaged without depressing the brake pedal or decelerating. Prior to this, there was no indication of any problem. No messages or warning lights appeared. I notified Karl Klement Dodge in Decatur Texas to inquire about braking problems or recalls affecting this model. I was told that I had no recalls, and they were unaware of any similar issues. On 9/11/23, after travelling approximately six miles, the ABS and traction control yellow warning indicator light illuminated and an audible warning ding initiated. These warning lights came on and off at recurring intervals, on multiple occasions. Eventually, the service ABS system warning initiated on the center control panel. At this point, I had driven no further than 8 miles. I proceeded to an independent service center in Bridgeport, Texas and spoke with a certified mechanic. He did a computerized diagnostic which indicated the HCU/ABS Module system was showing to be defective. The mechanic stated that they have had to replace this item on other vehicles recently. I again notified the Karl Klement Dodge dealership to inquire about my warranty or a recall or any other problems relating to the ABS or other braking system components. I was told that it would not be covered under warranty, and that there were no problems with the braking system on the particular model, nor recalls but that I could, "bring it in if [I] want to." The current mileage on this vehicle is only 24,314 miles as of 9/11/23. Due to the safety necessity of the braking system, it is a severe safety concern. Upon further research, I have found multiple parties with similar problems with the ABS system on this model.

The current mileage on this vehicle is only 24,314 miles as of 9/11/23. Due to the safety necessity of the braking system, it is a severe safety concern. Upon further research, I have found multiple parties with similar problems with the ABS system on this model.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The "Service ABS" warning light randomly started coming on in the dashboard display. Sometimes it alerts every few seconds, other times it may not alert for days. When this happens I experience a loss of anti-lock brakes, traction control, and cruise control. This truck is used to pull heavy loads and the random loss of anti-lock brakes is not good. My local dealer says that parts are on on back order for many months. The potential loss of braking is scares me and is a danger to others around me. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection.

The Hydraulic Control Unit Chrysler part number 68143491AA failed and been replaced multiply times on my vehicle. I have the current failed part available for inspection upon request. This causes the Anti-lock braking system and Traction control system to no longer function limiting function under wet or slippery conditions. This puts the driver and others at risk. The problem has been reproduced by my local dealer twice both with the original part and its' replacements. The vehicle/component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no Warning lamps/messaged before failure only after. These would be ABS lamp and traction control lamp plus a service ABS warning message.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Since purchasing this truck brand new in 2018 we have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. Dodge Ram failed us every time. They failed to work with the dealer and ignored every attempt to find solutions. It started with vehicle loosing power on very dangerous locations a specially freeway located in curves in the middle of nowhere. It took years to fix that problem. Multiple times we drove from the shop being told that it was fixed and it wasn't. We would drive right back in after 15 min. It took over 3 years to get dodge and dealer to replace the transmission and all electrical issues. The other problem that we have had since buying this truck is the AC. Its been always a problem we are continuously trying to fix it and its been very hard. This entire summer my children have been suffering. We are driving in extreme heat with zero ac and Dodge Ram can not produce part for the dealership to fix it. What is really unfair that original dealer tried again to charge us for something that it waste the problem. We would have paid for it and would have been back within an hour. The new dealer Peterson Dodge understood the problem and was honest with us that there is a lot more then a filter. It was me who requested to get a second opinion and get a way from Larry H Miller Dodge.
