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.

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:

2018 Ram 3500 Diesel truck with 70,000 miles. While driving the "service electronic braking system" alarm goes off and ABS lights come on and cruise control is disabled, along with electronic stability control. This happened while towing a 20,000 lb fifth wheel trailer and continues to happen with or without a trailer behind the vehicle. This is a known safety problem and there are several class action lawsuits but Ram has yet to authorize a recall on 2018 models. They knew there were defective parts and even put out technical service bulletins to their dealer's service departments. This is a VERY DANGEROUS condition associates with almost all these model trucks. It seems Ram does not care about loss of life but only their profit margins.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Service abs/ service electronic brake system/ traction control alarm flashing on/off intermittently with no specific times or conditions. This first happened in may 2024 on a 6 hour road trip. Occasionally I can take it on a short trip and it may not flash the message during that trip and at other times it is constantly going on and off. I have not had this looked at by the dealer. I have read the codes using my personal scanner and it shows C0020-01 (Active) ABS Pump Motor Control- General Electrical Failure. I do not drive this vehicle daily and I can not relate it to wear and tear because the vehicle only has 23,900 miles on it.

I do not drive this vehicle daily and I can not relate it to wear and tear because the vehicle only has 23,900 miles on it.

Additional Notes:

Service abs/ service electronic brake system/ traction control alarm flashing on/off intermittently with no specific times or conditions. This first happened in may 2024 on a 6 hour road trip. Occasionally I can take it on a short trip and it may not flash the message during that trip and at other times it is constantly going on and off. I have not had this looked at by the dealer. I have read the codes using my personal scanner and it shows C0020-01 (Active) ABS Pump Motor Control- General Electrical Failure. I do not drive this vehicle daily and I can not relate it to wear and tear because the vehicle only has 23,900 miles on it.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I started getting an intermittent error code on my truck with only 36k miles on it. the traction control, abs and cruise control wont work when the service electronic braking system code is present. I have done a lot of reading and this seems to be a very common issue with the 2017 and 2018 ram trucks. It is so common that I called my local dealer and the part is on back order for months. I am getting very close to taking a long road trip with a 20ft trailer, which is the reason I purchased this truck. Now I cant even get a replacement part, that is a known issue and I was quoted $1100 for it. Braking system seems to be a safety issue, why isn't ram doing something about this issue!

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

On September 8, 2024, I started getting intermittent ABS and Traction Control light with “Service Electronic Braking System”. Code C0020. When the light is on I lose cruise control. There is no specific condition that will cause the light to come on; i.e. bumps in the road, a certain speed, or setting at idle. The first instance of the light coming on, I was turning around in a parking lot, less than 5 mph. This cannot be associated to normal wear and tear. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MUST BE A RECALL!!!

Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The anit-lock breaks on my vehicle will go out at random. This seems to happen when you need them most. In my case I was towing an 8,000 lb trailer and had to stop short. The anti-lock break and traction control lights came on simultaneously and the right front tire locked up making it difficult to steer the vehicle. Since that event the light will come on at random when hitting a bump in the road or when breaking hard. A driver might think the ABS system is working until they hit the brakes and it fails. This appears to be related to NHTSA Action Number PE22012 and I would like to add my vehicle to the list of impacted units.55
