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.

NHTSA Campaign: 18V100000 SAFETY RECALL
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.

I am receiving intermittent, but frequent, ABS error while driving. The alarm dings and cruise control is disabled. Most times it happens every couple of minutes but every so often, it will go several minutes without the error and alarm noise. It also goes on and off when hitting bumps in the road such as crossing bridges and going over the expansion joints. As off yet, I have not had any troubles braking but am afraid that I might. 1- The ABS/HCU module. Yes it is available. 2- Possible difficulty or failure in braking. 3- It has not been to the dealer yet. I read this is a very common problem but no recall has been issued? 4- No. It has not been inspected yet. 5- Alarm sounding and "Service Electronic Braking System" displayed on dash.

Potential Consequences:

The truck has low miles only about 50K and my ABS lights go on and off randomly. Now when I am driving I randomly have ABS lights go on and off and I believe that the issue is with that ram ABS unit and control module. I have been told that the fix will involve replacing both pump and control module. I tow with this truck in all weather and it's not safe to be driving without a working ABS. The ABS error code I got was C002001.

Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

This vehicle has faulty or defective ABS braking system. The warning lights and warning chimes have been constantly going off for approx. 2 years. The Dodge/Ram dealerships admits that this is an industry wide defect with 2017 and 2018 Ram 2500 trucks, but say they have no parts to correct the problem. Their suggestion to me was to buy a new truck which is not acceptable or affordable. This was identified by both the dealership and Chrysler as being a safety issue with no resolution from Chrysler or dealer. I use vehicle to transport my grandchildren and livestock and truly doubt my ability to operate safely without the Federally required working ABS system. This is truly a safety issue and an immediate recall is necessary. Ram/Chrysler will not correct issue without recall. I am limited on the use of my vehicle but have no choice as it is my only transportation, thank you.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I keep getting an ABS/Traction control warning on my 2018 Ram 2500 I was told this is a common issue and the parts for repair would be over $1,000 dollars. I am an ASE certified mechanic in the field of brakes. This is a safety item that should be under a recall if those systems go down not only do you loose the ABS/traction control but you also loose four wheel drive. That makes driving in the northeast very hazardous on roads covered in snow and ice.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

ABS and traction control go off and on constantly while driving. When doing so lights on the dash come on as well as a loud chime. Besides being very annoying, it makes the vehicle unsafe when not having ABS and or traction control at any given moment. This started happening when the truck only had 5,000 or so miles on it. I couldn't get it "fixed" because of COVID, and the dealerships have no parts/ back-ordered. I've heard that many others with same problem, had things replaced by the dealers ( at their cost) and it comes back again. This should be a recall !!!

Potential Consequences:

ABS warning light comes on frequently. It was diagnosed as a faulty ABS pump motor by a Dodge dealership on March 31, 2023. I was told then that the replacement part would not be available till August 2023. I called in August and was told that it would not be available till February 2024. I called in February and was told it’s not available till June 2024. The Dodge dealership parts manager told me they have 11 trucks with the same problem they are trying to service. So far we have spent over $700 in diagnosing and trying to get the problem fixed.
