4.8M Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: May 17, 2018
Safety Issue:

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.

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.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

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.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The service ABS braking system warning flashes on with a chime frequently when driving. This started 3 weeks ago. According to the Ram Forums this is a common problem with 2018 trucks. My truck is a 2018 with 352623 miles on it and according to the Dick Hannah dealership a part that is out of warranty. There is no replacement part since the original inventory was all pulled back from the dealerships to the manufacturer due to the incidences of failure. This information was given to me by the Dick Hannah parts manager. He said a newer more reliable version of the brake module is being built but replacements are not expected for at least 4 months. Ram knows the part is and was defective, i am out of warranty and have a dangerous truck to drive for the next 4 to 5 months then a estimated $1500 repair bill. I want Ram to pay for this and to expedite the replacement parts and the NHTSA to do their job and serve us the consumer instead of the manufacturer. I am seeking legal recourse too. I attached the repair code report derived from my Blue Driver code reader tool.

Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

ABS failed during a panic stop causing the vehicle to skid. Received a notice on the dash to “Service Electronic Braking System” followed by the ABS and traction control lights coming on then off a number of times. It is my understanding that the Hydraulic Control Unit has failed, and FCA is aware of this issue. Failure of ABS in a large heavy pickup truck is dangerous, and FCA should issue a recall to repair the affected units.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I purchased my 2018 Ram 3500 new, in July of 2019. Since then, the HCU/ABS Module has failed 3 times. The first occurrence was at 4391 miles, the second was at 24768 miles, and the third, was yesterday at approx. 45000 miles. The "Service ABS System" light goes on and off intermittingly, which shuts down cruise control and other electrical components. The brake pedal at times feels stiff when brakes applied. This repair is close to two thousand dollars. I've read the other complaints while researching this issue. Something needs to be done by RAM to correct this safety, and excessive cost to owner issue.

Potential Consequences:

Bought truck brand new in 2019. Around 16-17,000 miles, I had to replace both front tires, the steel belt had shifted inside the tire causing a bulge and making the vehicle vibrate severly while transporting 3 horses (Approximate trailer w/ horse weight = 14000lbs). I brought back to the dealership, replaced with the same brand as I was unaware of these issues. I now have 36,000 total miles on my truck and about 19,000 miles on this new set and the issue just occurred again. There is something wrong with this brad of tire that these belts continue to shift inside the tire and will eventually cause larger issues. When the event occurs, everything inside the vehicle begins to vibrate and no question impacts the suspension components.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I have a 2018 Dodge 3500 with 9800 miles on it.. The ABS light has come on reflecting a braking and control problem. This also shuts down the safety system within the brakes, shuts down the 4 wheel drive and cruise controls also. It is my understanding from the dealership, there is a problem with the parts within this system, and they can not get any parts released to them for repair. They also don't want to use the same parts, knowing they will only fail again. Which would fall back on them, as a repair faciality. Why hasn't the NHTSA ordered a recall on these vehicles. There are Law Suites also addressing the ABS failure and many complain on this safety failure. I see there is a recall regarding tailgates issue on some of the dodge products. Clearly the braking systems must a higher priority. We should not be required to pay for these repairs. I paid $ 70,000.00 plus for my truck!!! Now they cost in the mid $ 80 K I want feed back from the NHTSA regarding there actions, on the Dodge ABS failure. You ask a question below regarding "WAS THERE A CRASH" in this case it was a near crash. Yes I alive, due to my agility to control the vehicle only. I'm 65 and drive vehicles prior to ABS, so this played into my abilities to control the vehicle. It is now a Federal Law that all vehicles be equipped with a ABS system.. ONE THAT WORKS CORRECTLY. My truck is due a annual safety inspection by the end of this month. Its unsafe to operate my truck, and it must remained park in the garage intil someone stops draging there feet and issue the recall. Yes I am very upset, as with many others

I'm 65 and drive vehicles prior to ABS, so this played into my abilities to control the vehicle. It is now a Federal Law that all vehicles be equipped with a ABS system.. ONE THAT WORKS CORRECTLY. My truck is due a annual safety inspection by the end of this month. Its unsafe to operate my truck, and it must remained park in the garage intil someone stops draging there feet and issue the recall. Yes I am very upset, as with many others

Additional Notes:

I have a 2018 Dodge 3500 with 9800 miles on it.. The ABS light has come on reflecting a braking and control problem. This also shuts down the safety system within the brakes, shuts down the 4 wheel drive and cruise controls also. It is my understanding from the dealership, there is a problem with the parts within this system, and they can not get any parts released to them for repair. They also don't want to use the same parts, knowing they will only fail again. Which would fall back on them, as a repair faciality. Why hasn't the NHTSA ordered a recall on these vehicles. There are Law Suites also addressing the ABS failure and many complain on this safety failure. I see there is a recall regarding tailgates issue on some of the dodge products. Clearly the braking systems must a higher priority. We should not be required to pay for these repairs. I paid $ 70,000.00 plus for my truck!!!
