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.

VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, BUT RUNNING, IN MY DRIVEWAY. GOT OUT TO LET PASSENGERS OUT. TURNED AROUND TO GET BACK IN AND CAR STARTED DRIVING ITSELF FORWARD, ALMOST HITTING MY CHILD. MANAGED TO JUMP IN AND STOP IT AFTER IT HIT MY HUSBAND'S CAR WITH THE OPEN DRIVER DOOR. THE SHIFTER KNOB HAS MOVED ITSELF INTO THE DRIVE POSITION AND ACTUALLY SHIFTED GEARS WITHOUT THE BRAKE BEING PRESSED.

THE REAR CENTER TAIL LIGHT (RACETRACK) IS COLLECTING WATER WHICH CAUSED THE LED'S IN THE BOTTOM CORNERS TO STOP WORKING.
Exterior lighting, May 24, 2017
WATER AND CONDENSATION IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. I THINK THE NAME OF THIS IS CALLED "RACE TRACK" TAIL LIGHTS. WATER IS STUCK IN THERE AND HAS BURNT OUT ONE SIDE OF MY LED LIGHT. IT JUST SLOSHES AROUND WITH NO WAY TO ESCAPE. THE OTHER SIDE IS SUBMERGED TOO BUT HASN'T YET BURNED OUT. THE ENTIRE PIECE HAS TO BE REPLACED AND ITS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE PART IS ON "NATIONAL BACK ORDER". I'M SURE IT WONT PASS INSPECTION AND I COULD GET A TICKET FOR IT. MY DURANGO IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE AS I JUST HIT THE 3 YEAR MARK AND I AM SICKENED THAT THIS PART IS OVER $1000. I WISH THIS WOULD BE A RECALL FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

Exterior lighting, Apr 26, 2017
WATER AND/OR CONDENSATION IN REAR LIFT GATE TAILLIGHT IS CAUSING THE LED LIGHT TO START BURNING OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS GLITCH AS I HAVE SEEN THIS IN SEVERAL OTHER DURANGO'S ON THE ROAD, AND A FEW OF THE NEWER STYLE CHARGERS (SAME EXACT BURNING OUT LOCATION). WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART (EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AND WILL FIGHT WITH CHRYSLER ON THIS DEFECT) AS FROM A MILEAGE STANDPOINT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WILL ATTEMPT FURTHER REIMBURSEMENT FOR THESE EXPENSES, HOWEVER THE PART WAS ORDERED BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF MARCH 2017, AND IS STILL ON BACK ORDER AS OF 4/26/17 WITH NO RELEASE DATE. THIS SORT OF BACK ORDER TELLS ME THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE SUPPLY FOR ALL THE OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE!

THE VEHICLE PUT ITSELF IN REVERSE AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE AT HOME IN THE DRIVEWAY AND ANOTHER IN A TARGET PARKING LOT. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE AFTER REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID AND INCIDENT. MY CHILDREN PLAY OUTSIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY WHICH MAKES THIS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF I AM NOT ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN TIME. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE TECH SAW THE TRUCK JUMP INTO GEAR WHILE IT WAS SITTING IDLE BUT SINCE THE "FLIGHT RECORDER" WAS NOT HOOKED UP, THEY DECIDED NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AFTER IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AGAIN. THE DEALER THEN DENIED MY SECOND REQUEST TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE "LOANER VEHICLE POLICY". THIS VEHICLE HAS A MANUFACTURER BUYBACK ALSO THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME ON THE DATE OF PURCHASE.

THE REAR LIFT GATE LED "RACETRACK" TAILLIGHTS CAN BECOME FILLED WITH WATER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY. WATER IN THE TAIL LIGHTS CAN CAUSE A SHORT WHICH COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD. TAIL LIGHTS MAY ALSO STOP WORKING WITH IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE OWNERS THAT ARE OUTSIDE FACTORY WARRANTY ARE FORCED TO PAY OVER $1,000 TO HAVE LIGHTS REPLACED.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL FREQUENTLY ILLUMINATE AND DISABLE SEAT BELT TENSIONERS AND AIRBAG FUNCTION. SAME THING THAT IS UNDER RECALL WITH OTHER DURANGO VEHICLES (RECALL P67). DODGE CLAIMS MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS UNAFFECTED AND NOT UNDER RECALL BUT I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IS OCCURRING. ANY GRAND CHEROKEE MODEL MADE THE SAME DAY AS MY VEHICLE, OR THE EXACT SAME DURANGO IF MANUFACTORED TWO MONTHS LATER, IS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, BUT THEY CLAIM MY DURANGO IS NOT. THE GRAND CHEROKEE USING THE IDENTICAL MODULE IN THEIR VEHICLE. PART TO BE FAULTY HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE THE ORC MODULE (OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL) BY A LOCAL SHOP, SAME PROBLEM AS SIMILAR RECALLS YET THEY CLAIM MINE IS NOT A PART OF. WITH CURRENT SITUATION, DRIVING THE VEHICLE SAFELY IS NON EXISTENT UNTIL REPAIRED. AIRBAG AND SEATBELT MALFUNCTION WOULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR.

ON 3/6/17 THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT ACTIVE HEAD REST DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE OR CRASH. WHEN DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST TETHERED TO THE SEAT SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY DEPLOYED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE HEAD REST. ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THIS AND OR FIND THE CAUSE AT THE DODGE AUTONATION DEALER LOCATED AT 21027 I-45 NORTH, SPRING, TX 77388 (877-791-6569) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED MET WITH A DECLINED REPAIR DUE TO THE DAMAGE WAS LISTED AS "TRIM". AT THE TIME THE AHR DEPLOYED A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT AT THE TIME BUT WAS NOT INJURED DUE TO THE "TETHERS" HELD THE FRONT FACE OF THE HEAD REST FROM PROJECTING OUTWARD/FORWARD. I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AT THE DODGE DEALER FRANKIE FREEZE THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND HE HAS PERSONALLY SEEN THIS TYPE OF DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT CAUSE. IN THE SERVICE MANUAL IN THE EVENT THE AHR DEPLOYS THERE IS A "RESET" PROCESS. DUE TO THE HIGH VELOCITY OF THE HEAD REST DEPLOYMENT THE UNIT ITSELF WAS DAMAGED TO INCLUDE THE HEAD REST COVER AND WAS NOT ABLE TO BE "RESET". NO VISIBLE DAMAGE IS APPARENT TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF (CRASH), AND NO VISIBLE CODES OR WARNING LIGHT (I.E. AIRBAG LIGHT) ARE DISPLAYED. AT THIS TIME I HAVE DISPUTED THE CLAIM BY DODGE THAT THIS IS A "TRIM" ISSUE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN NOT DETERMINE WHY THE HEAD REST DEPLOYED AND REFERRED THE ISSUE AND DEPLOYMENT TO A INVESTIGATOR. I SUSPECT BUT HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE HEAD REST WAS CAUSED BY THE RIGHT REAR REAR PASSENGER OPENING THE FACTORY INSTALLED VIDEO SYSTEM INSTALLED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT (REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM). IT IS POSSIBLE THE BACK OF THE FLIP OPEN MONITOR PLASTIC SHROUD STRUCK THE BACK OF THE HEAD REST WHEN OPENED CAUSING IT TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AT NIGHT WITH LITTLE TO NO LIGHTING IN THE VEHICLE. A DISTINCT AND LOUD POP WAS HEARD FROM THE SEAT.
