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.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL ECONOMY BEING SEVERELY BELOW THE EPA RATING. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I FOUND OUT THAT THE DEALERSHIP SOLD ME A BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH TWO OPEN RECALLS THAT WERE UNREPAIRED. I BELIEVE THIS IS ILLEGAL.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

VEHICLE STEERING STICKS DURING LEFT TURNS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR APPROX 1 HOUR, DURING LEFT TURNS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 65+ MPH, THE STEERING WILL HOLD AT APPROXIMATELY THE 10 O'CLOCK POSITION RESULTING IN UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. DUE TO THE REQUIREMENT OF HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND APPROX 1 HR DRIVE TIME, DEALERSHIPS WON'T TAKE THE EFFORT TO BE ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WITHOUT REPLICATION BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND RAM CUSTOMER SERVICE CONSIDER IT A NON ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THE GROUND RECALL ALREADY ISSUED FOR THE 2019 RAMS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS ALSO REPORTED BY NUMEROUS OTHER 2019 RAM OWNERS IN ONLINE FORUMS. EFFORTS TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND RAM CUSTOMER SUPPORT HAVE BEEN UNSATISFACTORY. THIS IS NOT A MINOR PROBLEM AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE OR LOSS OF LIFE ON THE ROAD. JUST BECAUSE A PROBLEM CANNOT BE REPLICATED IN A SHORT TEST DRIVE DOES NOT EQUATE TO THEIR NOT BEING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN ON THESE VEHICLES.*DT CONSUMER HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED AND THE STEERING PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS YOU HAVE TO APPLY SOME EXTRA FORCE TO GET IT TO RETURN TO CENTER AS WELL AS SOMETIMES IT WILL HOLD MOMENTARILY AND JERK BACK ON ITS OWN. THE CONCERN IS THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF IT AND THE POTENTIAL OVER/UNDER STEER AT HIGHER SPEEDS. ONCE THE PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF AFTER LONGER PERIODS OF DRIVING IT WILL ALSO THEN DO IT OCCASIONALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS AS WELL. THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY CHIMES OR MESSAGES THAT APPEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT HAS BEEN IN TO SERVICE BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE. UNFORTUNATELY THIS ISSUE HAS ONLY APPEARED DURING LONGER ROAD TRIPS AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS WITH LONG LEFT TURNS SO IT IS UNLIKELY A DEALER WOULD BE ABLE TO REPLICATE IT ON A SHORT TEST DRIVE. I KNOW FROM THE FORUMS THAT PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE HAD IT RESOLVED WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING RACK. *JB
