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.

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.

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.

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:

Warning lights for ABS and Brake system flash on and off continuity while driving at any speed or stopped, with a message displaying "Service Electronic Brake System" and a warning chime. This typically occurs once every 2-3 seconds. Truck was taken to Local Ram Dealership in Early October of 2023 for diagnostics. Dealership stated issue was the hydraulic control unit causing the warnings, but parts were on hold for inspection by Ram so the issue could not be repaired. As of Feb 2024 the dealership has informed me the repair parts are still on hold at least until April 2024. The hydraulic control unit problem disables ABS, Traction Control Stability Control and Cruse Control systems.

Corrective Action:

I have an intermittent abs warning that turns off abs,traction control, and makes the truck brake worse when it happens. Diagnostics indicate a abs pump failure performed at dealer and an independent shop. Dealership says there’s a hold on the part from Chrysler engineering. I have been informed it’s several of the 2017-2018 2500 rams and makes driving the truck dangerous.

Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

My ABS notification light continues to come on. I had body work done at a collision center for the rear quarter panel and when they had their mechanic inspect it, he determined that the ABS module was faulty. Additionally, the collision center indicated there is a current class action lawsuit for the very same part. The ABS and traction control will go on intermittently and continues to do so the entire time the vehicle is driven. Fortunately, I haven't had any accidents as a direct result because I refuse to take long trips or travel on the freeways for fear of it failing when needed most. The part is almost impossible to locate and when there is one available its either grossly overpriced or reserved within minutes of locating one.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

ABS service light comes on intermittently causing inconsistent braking, especially during bad weather. I need to know I can count on my anti-lock brakes. Many calls to the dealer service center and they say there is no fix for the problem. How can this be? Brakes are a fundamental necessity for a vehicle. They won't / can't fix this? Please investigate. I know I am not the only person with this issue. My brother owns the same 2018 RAM 2500 and he is also having the issue. Also, there are thousands of complaints about this online. Please investigate and keep Stellantis accountable!!!
