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.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

My husband was driving a "gsa work truck" when the steering linkage apparently broke. After running the vin, it shows there is a unrepaired recall. After someone contacted management in regards to the unrepaired recall, an employee named kirt flowers claims that the recall was fixed, but the dealership failed to put it in the system. (Highly unlikely!) Even if that was true, the "repair" failed. Either way, someone could have been killed!

The anti lock brake and electronic braking system are throwing alerts on dashboard. It cuts off cruise control as well. This is a safety concern for us and other vehicles. On all ram forums there are complaints wanting to start a class action. This is a very common problem with the ram trucks. It costs $800-$1000 out of pocket. These sensors are a safety feature that one would expect to be able to depend on. The negligence of these safety features need to be addressed.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Regarding the Safety Recall V06 / NHTSA 19V-021 Drag Link. This issue regarding the jam nuts on the drag link needs to be remedied. It calls for welding an adjustable part of the steering linkage rendering it non- adjustable when having the front end aligned in the future. Not to mention the effect of welding, potentially causing a problem with the integrity of the metal. The correct fix for this SAFETY issue is to REPLACE this steering linkage component, the entire Drag Link! And NOT a weld job on the steering linkage of all things! I am appalled that NHTSA approved such a thing. PLEASE revisit this issue and do the right thing. Require Chrysler (FCA US LLC) to REPLACE this defective part with the proper part. Note.... Chrysler is not welding the nuts on the drag links on trucks coming off the assembly line! They are coming off with proper, safe, adjustable drag links!

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

The DEF Pump responsible for controlling the flow of Diesel Exhaust Fluid to reduce exhaust emissions prematurely fails (in my case, it was at 61,000 miles) which forces the truck into "limp mode" limiting the speed of the vehicle to 5 miles per hour. Additionally, once this part fails, the truck cannot properly dispense DEF to the exhaust to reduce diesel emissions as designed and as mandated by the EPA. Manufacturer acknowledged failure of the part and began redesign and remanufacture of the DEF Pump prior to the Covid pandemic. Replacement part availability is sporadic at best. Further, repair of this component has not been covered by Federal emissions warranty or any extended warranty of the drivetrain, thus forcing a several thousand dollar repair on the consumer. Online search reveals thousands of other Ram truck owners who are experiencing the same issues as described here My vehicle has been appropriately maintained and yet this occurred without warning of the imminent failure. Once the failure occurs, the vehicle poses significant risk to the environment due to inappropriate emissions, and places an undo financial burden on the consumer for a known manufacturing defect. I brought my vehicle to an authorized Ram dealership who diagnosed the issue as described above and then repaired the vehicle at a cost to me of approximately $ 2,100.00.

Potential Consequences:

ABS module, HCU module Currently available to be inspected if dealer won’t fix. Potential loss of brakes. Dealer confirmed I had codes relating to a known problem with both abs and hcu modules. Dealership ran diagnostics. Service braking system warning lamp appeared on dash. Codes C0020 and U0147. FCA star letter case #: S2005000004 Letter relates to codes stating general electrical failure. Dealership wants to charge me $785.21 to fix. They started by saying the cost would be close to $2800, when I asked why so much, they said I need several other repairs but couldn’t provide a break down. I brought my vehicle in with the letter about the faulty equipment and the codes and was told it would get taken care of.
