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:

Multiple intermittent warnings for "Sevice Anti-Lock Brakes" and "Service Electronic Brake System". Code C0020-01 for General electrical failure/ABS Pump motor control failure. Warnings seem to occur randomly while driving. Sometimes dozens of times within just a few miles driving. When warnings are present, traction control and cruise control are not available. I am unsure that the anti-lock braking feature will work if needed. Vehicle had ~ 40,000 miles when issue began. Spoke with local dealership. They stated they are aware of the issue and that no parts are available to fix the problems. All attempts to find available replacement parts online has shown all parts to be discontinued or back-ordered with no estimated arrival time for new parts.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

When I bought the truck in July of 2022 I worked out of state so I went home (Alabama) to pick it up and on my way back to Indiana (where I was working at the time) and the truck shuts off so I took it to the dealership the following Monday and they told me there was nothing wrong with the truck when they diagnosed it which cost me 300 dollars so I drove it back home and took it to another dealership and they said the same thing So I finally got it into a place that would fix it and it was the egr and the radio that had caused it to shut off but the dealership told me they couldn’t get the parts in to fix the other thing so I would have to wait so I’ve waited 4 months and been to 6 different dealerships since then and they’ve told me that the egr is going out once again and my abs braking module is not any good but none of them can seem to fix it they all tell me that it’s going to be in the shop for at least 3 months but I haven’t gotten a call back from them when I leave and they tell me there going to order it
