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.

WHEN TURNING ON THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATER THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS COME ON EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. ONCE THEY COME ON THEY CONTINUE TO RUN. ON OCCASION THEY WILL TURN OFF WHEN RUNNING THROUGH A VARIETY OF OPTIONS ON THE SAME STICK SUCH AS FLASHING THE BRIGHT LIGHT (PULL IN THE STICK) OR TURNING ON THE SIGNAL AGAIN IN THE OTHER DIRETION. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO ANY OF IT. THIS PAST WEEKEND I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO START AND THE WIPERS WENT ON EVEN THOUGH THE INDICATOR IS IN THE OFF POSITION. THEN SUDDENLY THE RADIO WENT ON EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT TURN IT ON AND THIS CAUSED THE WIPERS TO STOP.

PURCHASED VEHICLE 31 DECEMBER 2013. ACTUALLY GOT VEHICLE ABOUT SIX DAYS LATER. ON 22 JANUARY 2014, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY SO I COULD CHECK THE MAIL. WHILE WALKING BACK TO THE VEHICLE FORM THE MAILBOX, THE VEHICLE STARTING BACKING UP A HILL ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO RUN NEXT TO THE VEHICLE, HANGING PARTIALLY INSIDE THE CAB, TO ATTEMPT TO SHUT OFF VEHICLE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PUSH DOWN EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH MY HAND IN ORDER TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP. VEHICLE ALSO HAS USED ACTIVE BRAKING FEATURE AND THE ACTIVE BRAKING ALARM HAS SOUNDED TO INFORM ME THAT I WAS TOO CLOSE TO A VEHICLE, THOUGH THERE WAS NO VEHICLE IN SITE (THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES). VEHICLE RANDOMLY STARTS ON IT OWN. VEHICLE ALSO REMOTE STARTS ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE STATES IT IS NOT IN PARK WHEN IT CLEARLY IS IN PARK. VEHICLE HAS WENT FROM PARK TO DRIVE ON ONE OCCASION AS WELL. THE VEHICLE BACK HATCH OPENED ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MY BELONGINGS FELL OUT ALL IN ROAD. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE CORRECTLY WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES FROM A STOP BUT USUALLY FROM A SLOW SPEED. THIS CAUSES OTHER DRIVERS TO COME CLOSE TO REAR ENDING ME BECAUSE I AM GOING SLOWER THAN THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC (BECAUSE MY FOOT IS DEPRESSING THE GAS PETAL BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT REACTING). CHRYSLER HAS SENT AN INSPECTOR TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, AND HE FOUND NOTHING. THIS VEHICLE HAS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. I REPORTED THEM 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT BUY BACK VEHICLE. THEY HAVE IMPLEMENTED SAFETY FEATURES ON THE 2015 FOR SOME OF THESE EXACT SAME ISSUES, YET DENY THE ISSUES EXISTING. *TR
