Recalls and investigations

  1. Electrical system, wiringMay 17, 2018

    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.

    If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

    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.

    LEAKING WATER IN AND AROUND THE SEALS OF LIGHTS CAUSING THEM NOT TO WORK. DEFECTIVE SEALS. THESE ARE IN THE REAR. ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE LIGHT IN FRONT FOR SAME PROBLEM ABOUT 1 OR 1 1/2 YEARS AGO.

  2. Exterior lighting, Jan 7, 2019

    TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INTO THE REAR RACETRACK LAMP ASSEMBLY, WHICH CAUSED SEVERAL LED LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

  3. Exterior lighting, Jan 5, 2019

    WATER HAS ENTERED THE RACETRACK LIGHTING COMPONENT AND HAS CAUSED TWO SECTIONS TO BURN OUT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY COMPROMISE OF THE SYSTEM AS FAR AS A CRACKS, BREAKS, OR DAMAGE.

  4. Exterior lighting, Jan 3, 2019

    I HAVE WATER IN MY TAIL GATE LIGHTS

  5. Exterior lighting, Jan 3, 2019

    THE TAIL LIGHT HAS RETAINED WATER DUE TO PRODUCT DEFECT CAUSING THE TAIL LIGHT TO BURN OUT WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

  6. Exterior lighting, Jan 2, 2019

    WHEN WE FIRST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS WATER POOLING INSIDE THE REAR RACETRACK LIGHTING IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. AFTER A DAY OR TWO THE RACETRACK LIGHTING WENT OUT DUE TO THE WATER. LUCKILY THE DEALERSHIP WAS WILLING TO REPLACE IT FOR US AND DID. WE'VE HAD THE NEW ONE IN FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THERE IS WATER POOLING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE LIGHTING NOW. THE LIGHT IS STARTING TO FLICKER AND I'M ASSUMING IT WILL SOON GO OUT.

  7. Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Dec 23, 2018

    THE TAILIGHT IS NOT WATER TIGHT AND WATER LEAKS IN AND POOLS ON THE BOTTOM. THIS WATER SHORTS OUT THE TAILIGHT AND CAUSES IT TO NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL. THIS SHORT CIRCUITING CAN ALSO CAUSE MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES FOR THINGS UNRELATED TO THE TAILIGHT, CAUSING OTHER SYSTEMS TO SHORT.

  8. Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Dec 6, 2018

    REAR RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT FILLS WITH WATER. LOOKS LIKE DODGE OVERTIGHTENED THE BOLTS CAUSING THE PLASTIC TO CRACK WHICH LEADS TO THE MAIN TAIL LIGHT TO FILL WITH WATER AND SHORT OUT. THIS CAUSES THE TAIL LIGHTS TO NOT FUNCTION MAKING IT A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. OF COURSE HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND DODGE WON'T DO A THING ABOUT IT, IT ACCORDING TO THEM IS A ME PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS RACETRACK DESIGN TAIL LIGHT SYSTEM IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND A DANGEROUS ONE.

  9. Exterior lighting, Nov 28, 2018

    THE HATCHBACK TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT BECAUSE WATER GETS INSIDE AND DOESN'T DRAIN. THE WHOLE BACK BRAKE LIGHT HAS CONDENSATION. THE BOTTOM LEFT PART OF LIGHT WENT OUT (SHORTED), BUT IN TIME THE WHOLE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WILL GO OUT. THIS WILL BE A SAFETY HAZZARD AND DODGE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IF IT IS NOT FIXED BY RECALL.

  10. Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Structure, Nov 27, 2018

    THE BACKUP LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THIS VEHICLE FILLS WITH WATER DURING RAIN OR CAR WASHES, SPEED IS IRELEVANT. THE WATER SHORTS OUT THE LED LIGHTS, CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. THE ASSEMBLY IS SUPPOSED TO BE WATER TIGHT, THEREFOR THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE WATER IT COLLECTS TO DRAIN. THEREFORE, THE METAL COMPONENTS OF THIS ASSEMBLY ARE ALSO BEGINNING TO RUST DUE TO THE PERSISTENT PRESENCE OF WATER. REPLACING THIS FAILED ASSEMBLY COSTS $1,300. THIS COMPONENT SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE WATER TIGHT ON WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLES, SUCH AS MINE. THIS FAILURE FEELS LIKE A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE ORIGINAL PART. DODGE SHOULD REPLACE THESE FAILED ASSEMBLIES AT A MUCH MORE REASONABLE PRICE, OR FREE OF CHARGE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COMPONENT IS DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, AND CERTAINLY ISN'T FOR ME AND MANY OTHERS.

  11. Exterior lighting, Nov 26, 2018

    THE 2014 DURANGO BACKUP LAMP ASSEMBLY COLLECTS WATER AND SHORTS OUT THE LIGHTS THAT ARE LOCATED INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY. CURRENTLY MINE IS FLICKERING AND FLASHING AND CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO OTHER DRIVERS. THE MANUFACTURER SAYS IT IS ONLY COVERED UNDER A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THE COST RANGES ANYWHERE FROM $800-$1000 WITHOUT INSTALLATION. THE SEAL AROUND THE LIGHT IS DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWS WATER IN ENTER THE ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO BURN OUT. IN SOME CASES LIKE MINE THE LIGHT WILL FLICKER AND FLASH TO CAUSE DISTRACTIONS TO OTHER DRIVERS. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR IN MOTION. PLEASE HELP US.

  12. Exterior lighting, Structure, Nov 25, 2018

    I HAVE WATER POOLING IN THE REAR TAIL LIGHT TRACK WHENEVER IT RAINS. THIS REDUCES LIGHT VISIBILITY, AND I'M ASSUMING WILL EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT THE ELECTRICS IN THE LIGHTS.

  13. Exterior lighting, Nov 23, 2018

    I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2018 AND HAVE SINCE NOTICED WATER IN THE REAR RACETRACK LIGHT THAT DODGE REFUSES TO FIX. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS LIGHT CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION AND A REPAIR BILL OF $1200.00.

  14. Exterior lighting, Nov 21, 2018

    WATER HAS ENTERED AND POOLED THE REAR "RACE TRACK" LED LIGHTS RESULTING IN SOME OF THE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. THIS DEFECT RESULTS IN LOSE OF VISIBILITY TO FOLLOWING MOTORISTS AND POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. DEALER STATES CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT COVERED, ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS $1,200!!! I READ THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FILED ABOUT THIS.

  15. Exterior lighting, Nov 19, 2018

    WATER POOLING INSIDE OF TAILGATE LIGHTS CAUSES LEDS TO BURN OUT. WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE

  16. Exterior lighting, Nov 18, 2018

    THERE IS WATER GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT AND BACK UP LIGHT ON MY DURANGO. THE LED'S ARE STARTING TO GO OUT.

  17. Exterior lighting, Nov 15, 2018

    THERE IS WATER POOLING IN MY RACE TRACK LIGHTING AND I HEAR THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A $1000 TO REPAIR

  18. Exterior lighting, Nov 12, 2018

    WATER IN 'RACETRACK' GATE LIGHT. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME. FIRST WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS REPLACEMENT IS OVER $1,000.00. LOTS OF CONSUMERS ARE SAYING THEY HAVE THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. WE CONSUMERS NEED HELP ON THIS. 2 LIGHTS IN 5 YEARS AND NOW IT'S $1K???? COME GET REAL!!!!

  19. Exterior lighting, Nov 11, 2018

    THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS ASSEMBLY ON THE TAIL GATE FILLS UP WITH WATER CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO BURN OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE LIGHTS FAIL TO OPERATE AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD WITH LIGHTS SUBMERGED IN WATER. THE SEALANT USED AROUND ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED SO BADLY THAT WATER GATHERS IN THE TAILGATE AND POURS OUT AS TAILGATE IS LIFTED WHICH WILL CAUSE PREMATURE RUST AND FAILURE OF TAILGATE

  20. Exterior lighting, Nov 11, 2018

    I HAVE WATER COLLECTION IN THE BOTTOM OF THE RACETRACK TAIL LIGHTS.

  21. Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Nov 2, 2018

    WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, I NOTICED THE "RACETRACK" STYLE LED TAIL LIGHTS, SPECIFICALLY THE LARGE SECTION ACROSS THE TRUNK, ON MY DODGE DURANGO WERE NO LONGER WORKING. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND MULTIPLE INCIDENTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE POPPED UP. IT APPEARS A FAULTY SEAL AROUND THE TAIL LIGHT ALLOWS FOR WATER TO ENTER THE INSIDE OF THE LIGHT CAUSING IT TO BURN OUT. THE ONLY FIX FOR THIS IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LED UNIT AT A COST OF OVER $1000 WHICH THE VEHICLE OWNER MUST PAY FOR. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LED LIGHT DOES NOT FIX THE LEAKING ISSUE ALLOWING FOR THE LIGHT TO BURN OUT AGAIN.

  22. Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Oct 24, 2018

    LICENSE LAMP AND A PORTION OF THE RACE TRACK BRAKE ARE OUT DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE. NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO TAILLAMP. LICENSE LAMP SOCKET IS MELTED

  23. Exterior lighting, Oct 21, 2018

    THE TAIL LIGHT ON THE HATCH BACK DOOR FILLS UP WITH WATER AND THE LED BURNED OUT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS OR CAR WASHES.

  24. Exterior lighting, Oct 5, 2018

    THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS OF MY 2014 DURANGO ARE FILLING WITH WATER BECAUSE OF BAD SEALS AND THE LED STRIP INSIDE IS SHORTING OUT. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO AND MY DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THEY REPLACED IT THEN BECAUSE I NOTICED THE ISSUE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY OFFERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON THEIR DIME SHOULD IT WORSEN. (IT DID WITHIN A MONTH) THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED DOES NOT COVER THIS. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 2 WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING HEAVY RAINS THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT BEGAN FILLING WITH WATER AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WASN'T MOVING, IT WAS SIMPLY PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OR IN THE LOT OUTSIDE OF WHERE I WORK. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL WORSEN AND CAUSE EITHER SAFETY INCIDENTS BECAUSE THE LIGHTS CAN'T BE SEEN AT NIGHT, OR WILL CAUSE ME TO BE CITED BY THE POLICE FOR LIGHTS BEING OUT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT THE REPAIR WILL BE BETWEEN $1000 AND $1400 DOLLARS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE DONE TOGETHER BECAUSE IT IS MANUFACTURED THAT WAY. I UNFORTUNATELY CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE LIGHT AT THIS TIME BECAUSE OF THE PRICE. I DID A CURSORY GOOGLE SEARCH TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND FOUND FORUMS, VIDEOS, AND PICTURES OF PEOPLE WITH BOTH DODGE DURANGO'S AND LATE MODEL DODGE CHARGER'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE REAR OF MY CARR FROM 2 WEEKS AGO AND MY ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP INVOICE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO. I ALSO PROVIDED THE URL TO ONE OF THE VERY FIRST LINKS THAT SHOWED UP IN GOOGLE BY SEARCHING 2014 DURANGO DEAD TAIL LIGHTS AS WELL AS AN ATTACHED PICTURE FROM A GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH USING THE SAME SEARCH. HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/AMP/S/WWW.DODGEDURANGO.NET/FORUMS/DURANGO-DISCUSSIONS-2014/42937-POLL-WATER-TAIL-LIGHT-2014-A.HTML%3FT=42937&AMP=1

  25. Exterior lighting, Oct 5, 2018

    WATER IS IN THE LIFT GATE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS CAUSED THE LED LIGHT TO QUIT WORKING ON THE LOWER LEFT. WITH THE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PER PA STATE INSPECTION THIS FAILS THE SAFETY INSPECTION. I TOOK NOTICE OF WATER ON THE INSIDE OF THE LENS AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHTS QUIT WORKING. I STARTED O REMOVE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLE AND WHEN I PULLED OUT THE BOLTS, WATER JUST FLOWED OUT OF THE LIGHT. ONCE LOOKING INTO WHY I FOUND MUCH OF THE SEAMS COMING APART ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE FIXTURE. TO BUY A NEW LIGHT FIXTURE IT WILL COST $1150 FROM A DODGE DEALER PLUS 1.5 HOURS LABOR TO INSTALL AT $90 PER HOUR. THIS IS 1/20 OF THE PRICE OF WHAT I JUST PAID TO BUY THIS USED.
