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.

MY 2014 DURANGO HAS BEEN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FOR OVER 3 YEARS NOW. I TOOK MY CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND TO DIFFERENT DEALERS. IT WAS ALWAYS THE SAME STORY, 'WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING' I EVEN HAD ONE DEALERSHIP TELL ME 'SORRY WE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT, IT'S LIKE TRYING TO FIND A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.' ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER OVER 5TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT'S NEVER BEEN FIXED. NOW IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND OUT OF THEIR HAIR, JUST WHAT THEY WANTED. I NEED TO HELP ON WHAT TO DO IN THIS SITUATION. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAD WAS WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THEY FIXED SOME PROBLEM I HAD A FEW YEARS BACK, THEY ACTUALLY BROKE MY GAS TANK DOOR AFTER WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS ONCE AGAIN COME BACK WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. TODAY MY CAR WON'T START AND IS UNFORTUNATELY OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAD A MECHANIC COME TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE FUEL PUMP ONCE AGAIN. WHO'S WORKING ON THESE CARS? DRUNKS? I NEED HELP ASAP. I WANT TO NOTE THAT THE KNOCKING NOISE OCCURS EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING. NO MATTER THE ROAD CONDITIONS. SMOOTH, BUMPING, RAINING, THE KNOCKING SOUND IS THERE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A ROCK HITTING UNDER THE HOOD. IT'S NOT CONSTANT BUT HAPPENS EVERY 3-5 MINUTES AND I KNOW IT'S NOT THE LIFTERS BECAUSE I'VE ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM ALREADY AND IT'S BEEN FIXED. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. .

REAR TAILGATE RACETRACK LIGHT HAS A LEAK. WATER ENTERED THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE AND SHORTED OUT THE LED BULB. THERE IS CURRENTLY WATER IN THE LIGHT FIXTURE. THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE OF BLACK CHARRING DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SHORT. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON-LINE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST "DEPLOYED" WITHOUT WARNING, STRIKING AND INJURING MY WIFE WHO REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT TO RESOLVE THE INJURY. INSPECTION OF THE HEAD REST REVEALED THAT THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE METAL RETAINING PIN FOR THE ACTIVE HEAD REST SYSTEM HAD FAILED, RESULTING IN THE RAPID FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE HEAD REST CAUSING INJURY. DODGE/FCA SO FAR IS REFUSING TO COVER THE OBVIOUS MATERIALS FAILURE AND POOR DESIGN UNDER WARRANTY.*DT*TR *DT*JB

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED AND TELLS ME TO GET THE AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICED FOR NO REASON. IT HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT AND JUST OUT OF THE BLUE CAME ON AND REMAINS ON. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2014 DODGE DURANGO AND MINE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RACE TRACK LIGHTING ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE RETAINED WATER. AS A RESULT, THE REAR LIGHTS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CENTRAL AVENUE CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (1839 CENTRAL PARK AVE, YONKERS, NY 10710, (866) 671-0682) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITHOUT A RUBBER SEAL OVER THE LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BUY ANOTHER LIGHT BEFORE THEY COULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

Engine, Jan 25, 2019
DEVELOPED A LEAK IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING, WHICH LEAKS DOWN THROUGH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ALSO GETS ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PENTASTAR 3.6L ENGINE ON ALL CHRYSLER PRODUCED VEHICLES. THEY HAVE MADE A FEW REVISIONS TO THIS PART, BUT HAVE NEVER ISSUED A RECALL LEAVING MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS FAULTY AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PART.

2014 DURANGO RACETRACK LIGHTS ON THE LIFT GATE HAVE WATER IN THEM. THE WATER HAS SHORTED OUT THE LEDS ON ONE SIDE ALREADY. I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL LEAD TO MORE LEDS SHORTING OUT CREATING A HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS AT NIGHT. ADDITIONALLY, I AM CONCERNED FOR THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AS THERE MAY BE SOME ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE DUE TO THE WATER. THIS IS A PART THAT IS NOT SERVICEABLE. I COULD NOT HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO PREVENT IT. IT IS A MANUFACTURER FLAW. IT IS AN EXTERIOR PART AND SHOULD BE SEALED TO PREVENT MOISTURE, MUCH LESS WATER, FROM COLLECTING INSIDE OF IT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE PART THAT IS VISIBLE FOR WATER TO ENTER. I FEAR THE LACK OF LEDS OPERATING WILL PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM PASSING STATE INSPECTION. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DODGE DEALER STATE THERE IS NO COVERAGE. THE DODGE DEALER QUOTED $1233 TO REPLACE THE PART. VEHICLE HAS 90K MILES. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. LEDS NOT WORKING WAS NOTICED 12/30/18

MY 14 DODGE DURANGO BEGAN TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN RUNNING. 10/17/17- IT WAS FOUND THAT THE EXHAUST CAM LIFTERS AND ROCKER ARMS ON RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE WERE WORN. IT WAS WARRANTIED AND REPLACED. IT WAS REPLACED AGAIN IN THE SUMMER OF 18. I WAS TOLD THE LEFT SIDE WOULD EVENTUALLY NEED REPLACED AS WELL, BUT THEY COULDN'T UNTIL IT PRESENTED A PROBLEM. IN NOVEMBER OF 18 THE SAME NOISE HAPPENED AGAIN. IT WAS PUT IN THE SHOP DEC. 26TH. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM(RIGHT) AND THE LEFT. THE DEALER WILL FIX THE RIGHT SIDE(FOR THE THIRD TIME) BECAUSE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WILL NOT FIX THE LEFT. MY CAR JUST WENT OVER 100,000. THE DEALER EXPRESSED THAT HE WAS SURPRISED IT WAS NOT A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS SO COMMON. AT THIS POINT, THE WEAR HAPPENS EVERY SIX MONTHS. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY AS THE VERY LEAST, OR RECALLED. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THREE TIMES IN A LITTLE OVER 1 YEAR.

TAKATA RECALL: WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS WATER POOLING INSIDE THE REAR RACETRACK LIGHTING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. A PORTION OF THE RACETRACK LIGHTING WAS GOING OUT DUE TO THE WATER. LUCKILY THE DEALERSHIP WAS WILLING TO REPLACE IT FOR US AND DID (SO THEY SAY). WE'VE HAD THE NEW ONE IN FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THERE IS WATER POOLING ACROSS THE ENTIRE LIGHTING NOW. A BIGGER PORTION OF THE LIGHT IS STARTING TO GO OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AGAIN AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL START TO AFFECT THE REST OF THE COMPONENTS ON THE HATCH. AND I'M ASSUMING IT WILL SOON GO COMPLETELY OUT.

MY REAR RACETRACK LIGHT STARTED FILLING WITH WATER. SHORTLY AFTER THE RIGHT SIDE WENT OUT. CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I'D HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PIECE WHICH IS $800.00+. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING. SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW TO ME. AND WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE; IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR THING FOR DURANGO OWNERS. WISH MOPAR/DODGE WOULD OFFER SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM.
