NHTSA Campaign: 18V332000 SAFETY RECALL
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Sometimes when I turn my car on the front screen won’t turn on it will stay black, when I go to back up my rear view camera won’t work, sometimes my two front windows won’t roll down, my defroster won’t turn on in the front, my blowers used to work where I was able to switch them to defrost, just face, or feet but it’s just stuck on one setting and my passenger side blows hot air when the AC is on. In winter it’s hard to see out my front window even when I let the car warm up, it will fog up while I’m driving and it causes me not to see and could potentially cause a major accident, also in the summertime when I need the AC for my children and it’s not working properly can effect them as well, my car definitely should be on the recall list for several things that have been recalled, I feel unsafe to drive it especially with my babies in the car. It’s my only transportation for anything! Along side with my AWD light flickering on and off and causing my car to slow down and not accelerate, it feels like it’s going to stall and would not be good in the middle of traffic.

SEAT BELTS

Potential Consequences:

The drivers side seatbelt is coming unlatched while operating the vehicle. This happens sometimes with very little tension and almost always when a more sudden stop is needed. I have researched online and this appears to be a recurring problem with this vehicle specifically. I attempted to have it repaired but the cost was over $700 which I am completely unable to afford. In my opinion, an item as essential as this should not so easily malfunction and should be required to be repaired by the manufacturer immediately since it is clearly a problem had by many others.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

For several month my brake light would illuminate when I would hit brakes. Then the ABS light and traction control light also came on. Took it to shop and said it was the electric stability control module and dodge journeys are known for this but it only recalls 2012-2015. Mine is a 2016. Pretty sure it should also be included in the recall, nevertheless they tried to charge me almost $600 to fix, I refused.

For several month my brake light would illuminate when I would hit brakes. Then the ABS light and traction control light also came on. Took it to shop and said it was the electric stability control module and dodge journeys are known for this but it only recalls 2012-2015. Mine is a 2016. Pretty sure it should also be included in the recall, nevertheless they tried to charge me almost $600 to fix, I refused.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

I was driving on the highway and the RPM’s started going up and down like crazy and it wouldn’t excel past 25. This happened for two miles and then I stopped at a stop light, when it turned green, I went to go and it would only reverse. Even when in drive. I had to turn the car off and back on to slowly get over to the side of the road.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

my daughter bought a 2016 Dodge Journey SXT new from the dealership. The following have been replaced: Head, Camshaft, four times position sensor A&B & the Radiator Fin Neck. That was $2000. that didn't fix all of the problems so it went to the Dealership. They swore to my daughter & husband that it was the Camshaft sensor failing, wiring harness failing, it had a break in a wire and 1 sensor had a high resistance and another sensor had NO resistance. They quoted us $1750. and that it would fix the problem. Now after 3 weeks they say that wasn't the problem and that it was going to cost another couple of thousands of dollars. There was a important safety recall for 2016 Dodge Journeys on the crankshaft sensor &/or camshaft electrical connector terminal, which says it could cause a crash from the engine stalling while driving. They say it was certain Dodge Journey, Jeep Compass & Jeep Patriot. Vehicles manufactured May 9, 2016 to July 15, 2016 that was a Manufacturer Recall S89(Also, NHTSA safety recall # 16V907000 crankshaft or camshaft sensor, causing engine to stall) I've seen other people with the same problem. Not to mention the dealership is now saying there's a part they need and have no way of getting. WOW so we owe them almost 2K and they really don't know what the problem is. My daughter is a single mother of 2 and can't not have a car. She still makes payments on the Journey the dealership has. How can a business cover one vehicle for the same issue another is having??? That's total crap!! Either fix it under the recall for free or get her out of the vehicle without going upside down... Why should someone have to argue when you know that this problem exists??? It's hard enough these days & dealerships don't care they just want to blame you for the problem and continue to rack up for fixing something that should be covered, & that you cant get a part that the car needs? That one still stumps me, how can you not get a part for your own product?
