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.

WHEN EXITING THE STORE AFTER LESS THAN 3 MINUTES IN THERE, I NOTICED MY DURANGO WAS NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT AND MY FATHER WAS IN THE DRIVERS SIDE. UPON APPROACHING THE VEHICLE, MY FATHER TOLD ME THAT THE DURANGO STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. THE DURANGO WAS CLEARLY IN THE 'PARKED' POSITION WITH THE "P" LIT UP ON THE DIAL. THE DURANGO HAD MOVED A GOOD 6-10 FEET BEFORE MY FATHER WAS ABLE TO JUMP TO THE OTHER SIDE AND STOP IT BY PRESSING THE BREAK. UPON RETURNING HOME I CHECKED ONLINE FOR OTHER COMPLAINTS SUCH AS THIS AND FOUND THAT THE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING CLAIMS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING IN 2014 DURANGO'S. THIS MORNING I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE 2014 DURANGO'S (ONLY OTHER DODGE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM) HE ADVISED ME THAT THE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT BUT THAT THERE WAS NO 'FIX' FOR IT.

THE VEHICLE THEN STARTED ON ITS OWN SO I WENT OUT AND PRESSED THE BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF.

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT WHILE MANY SOFTWARE ISSUES WERE UPDATED AND CORRECTED, NO DEFINITIVE CAUSE AS TO WHY THE VEHICLE SELF STARTED WAS FOUND.

THE GPS SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE PROVIDES INACCURATE INFORMATION THAT MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS EASILY. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS ISSUE, I WAS USING THE VEHICLE GPS AND IT ASKED ME TO TURN RIGHT WHEN I TURNED, THE WAS NO ROAD SO I NEARLY HIT THE CURB. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER BEING TO TEXAS BEFORE, MY VEHICLE HAS RESISTED LOCATIONS IN TEXAS AND OTHER LOCATION THAT MAKES THIS ISSUE OUTRAGEOUS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL REPORT OF THIS ONLINE WITH DODGE AND JEEP BUT FCA SEEMS NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS THEIR ANALYST DID NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THE GPS INFORMATION PROVIDED ON MY VEHICLE IS TOTALLY WRONG AND FOR THAT MATTER I HAVE STOPPED USING IT. I CALLED DODGE ONCE AND THEY TRIED TO RESET THE GPS WHICH DID NOT WORK AND SO THEY ADVICE ME TO GO TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED BUT THE CLOSEST DEALER TO ME TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT LOOK AT IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PURCHASED FROM THEM. ONE OTHER THING IS THAT THE ISSUE AFFECTS THE TIME ON THE VEHICLES MAKING THE TIME LITERALLY GO BACK SOMETIMES. ONCE, I OBSERVED THE CLOCK MOVE BACK FROM 12:05PM TO 11:49AM. AFTER READING SEVERAL REVIEWS ONLINE, IT WAS REALIZED THAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE UCONNECT SYSTEM MEANING THAT THE ISSUE IS AFFECTING ALL OR SOME VEHICLES FROM FIAT CHRYSLER OF AMERICA. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BECAUSE THIS CAN EASILY COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE FOR A GPS TO ASSUME WRONG LOCATION. THIS ISSUES IS AN ONGOING ISSUE SO I JUST PLACED A DATE IN THE WHEN IT HAPPENED FIELD.
