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:

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.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The hydraulic control unit has indicated through the dash a warning light telling the truck needs service. The service needed indicator is intermittent and is a common issue with this year truck. Ram has a technical bulletin regarding this issue indicating how to exact repairs. This issue seems to have impacted enough truck owners to cause a national backorder shortage of the hydraulic control unit and module. Repairs through a dealership range from $1000 - $1700, however, cannot be initiated due to the national shortage of the parts.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

ABS light and service electronic braking system intermittently came on. By that happening it sounds like it disable those systems making the truck at risk when emergently braking. Took the truck to Ram dealership on 11-10-2022. Dealership stated the hydraulic control unit and the abs module need to be replaced. From what I've seen this is starting to become increasingly more of an issue with these trucks needing HCU/ABS replaced. I just got the truck back on 1-5-2023.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module that works in conjunction with the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) is defected. My truck only has 29,000 miles on it, and this is an extreme error on Dodge Ram that needs to be cleared up. I was driving on the highway, and had to pull over since my brakes seemed like they failed when the ABS lights go on and off in the truck. I am at fear when I drive this truck now and the dealership quoted me $680 just for the HCU not even the ABS module. The dealership wants $1800 for a fix that should not happen through the company Dodge. The Dodge dealership said the ABS/HCU parts are on back order since it’s happening to a lot of other Dodge customers. I can’t even get into the truck without the ABS lights going on and off, and I’m worried that the brakes will fail.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Intermittent flashes saying service ABS system and Service electric braking system. Then goes away... Braking is affected by this. After 5 mins of research this seems to be a super common problem with these trucks. Why hasn't there been a safety recall done? It also appears that this form has been filled out several times for the same issue. I tow a lot and a truck with 37k miles should not be experiencing these safety issues. Called dealer and they said candidly they all are failing, it cost several thousand to fix and parts are on a 9 month backorder. I do have one question. What's the number of people to get hurt/killed to make this safety recall? I need an actual number. Screen shooting this form!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The Bosch CP4 fuel pump internally disintegrated sending metal shavings throughout the fuel system. On the highway accelerating out of a toll both without warning, the truck lost almost all acceleration power and began to shudder. There weren't any preexisting warning lamps or messages. Any time after that when accelerating up to highway speeds quickly or attempting to maintain highway speeds the truck would lose acceleration and begin to shudder. When I took it to a mechanic, they informed me the CP4 fuel pump had "grenaded" and the whole fuel system needed to be replaced. If this had happened when merging into traffic or crossing at an intersection, I could have been hit because I couldn't accelerate as needed. The manufacturer (Ram) is aware of the malfunction and has issued recalls for the 2019 and 2020 years, but not 2018s which have the same exact part. The repairs have been completed on the truck and I have copies of the invoice.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Right before 36000 miles the ABs and Traction control lights come on and off intermittently. I took the truck to my local dealer and was told 2 components needed to be replaced. They informed me it was not covered under warranty and they did not have the parts nor knew when they might get them in. This has been 4 or more months now and the lights stay on more often than they are off. I can’t use cruise control and it will not pass inspection with the lights on.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

ABS Module Failure, This has been a re-occurring issue that nearly caused an accident. The abs and traction control lights come on intermittently and disables the ABS/traction control emergency braking system. The issue has existed for 2 months, the dealer tells me it needs a new control module which is not available till some time in 2023. There advise was watch my following distance and maintain lower speeds. Unfortunately yesterday the light came on and stayed on for 50 miles plus, due to an accident on the highway all traffic had to stop quickly, when i applied heavy braking my wheels locked up and the truck started to slide sideways, i was able manually get control by fluffing the brakes but had i panicked i would have had a collision. when i got the truck to a full stop i was inches from a small compact car. There's no way to fix this and its going to cost lives for this very widespread issue with the dodge ram 1 ton pick ups, where's the recall does this need to kill a few hundred or a few thousand people before its addressed.
