Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/moduleNov 7, 2024
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles. A malfunction in the antilock-brake system (ABS) module may incorrectly illuminate the brake lights and disable the ABS and electronic stability control (ESC). In addition, the vehicle operator may be able to start and shift out of Park without the brake pedal being applied.
A vehicle that can be started and shifted out of Park without applying the brake pedal can result in a vehicle rollaway. Disabled ABS and ESC systems can reduce vehicle handling and control in certain driving situations. Brake lights that incorrectly illuminate can fail to properly indicate the driver's intention to following traffic. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the integrated pressure transducer and update the ABS module software, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 16, 2025. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 94B. This recall replaces previous recall number 22V-426. Vehicles previously remedied under 22V-426 will need to have the new remedy completed.

Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/moduleJun 9, 2022
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles. A malfunction in the antilock-brake system (ABS) module may illuminate the brake lights, and allow the vehicle to start and shift out of Park without the brake pedal being applied.
A vehicle that starts and shifts out of Park without applying the brake pedal can result in vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash without prior warning and/or injury to others outside of the vehicle.
This recall is replaced by NHTSA recall number 24V838. Vehicles already repaired under this recall will need to have the new remedy completed. The remedy includes updated HCU/ABS module software that prevents the HCU/ABS module from falsely reading pressure in the primary circuit. FCA has decided to do a two-Phase Campaign remedy schedule. Phase 1 began November 17, 2022. Phase 2 begin date has not been determined yet. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed July 28, 2020. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 29, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z48.

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.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I LOOKED IN MY MIRRORS AND SAW A PIECE OF MY CAR IN THE MIRROR. IT WAS THE PLASTIC PIECE OFF MY DOOR. I COULDN'T STOP BEING ON THE HIGHWAY LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, SAM LEMAN IN MORTON ILLINOIS WHERE I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENS WITH DURANGOS, BEING BLOWED OFF. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHER VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY IF A MOTORCYCLE WAS BEHIND ME. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH LACK OF CARE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED FROM DODGE AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.
Electrical system, Oct 13, 2020
MY VEHICLES ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM SCREEN SHUTS DOWN TO THE DISPLAY SHOWING DODGE. IT WILL STAY THERE UNTIL IT DECIDES TO RESTART. THE ONLY TWO ITEMS WORKING ARE VEHICLE TEMPERATURES, AIR FLOW SPEED AND SHUT OFF OR TURN ON. NOTHING ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO SELECT OR OPERATE WITH IN THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. THIS INCLUDES THE LOST OF UCONNECT IF I WAS DISPLAYING MAPS FOR NAVIGATION. I HAVE NOTICED A STRANGE ODOR LIKE A BATTERY OR WIRES OVER HEAT SMELL AS I'M DRIVING AS THIS OCCURS. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY LEAVING ME WITHOUT THE COMFORTS WE EXPECT AND PAID FOR, NOT TO MENTION THE CONCERN OF IS THERE A MAJOR ISSUE GOING ON? THERE ARE MANY FORMS ON LINE STATING THIS HAS BEEN A REOCCURRING ISSUE SINCE 2016 POINTING THE BLAME BETWEEN THE FCA AND THE UCONNECT PUSHING UPDATES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DODGE FIX THEIR PRODUCT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, MOVING, ON A CITY STREET, OUT ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. DEALER STATES THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT IT. I ASKED THEM TO RESEARCH IT. THEY STATE BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. DODGE STOP GIVING THE CONSUMER A RUN AROUND AND FIX IT. I ASSUME THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE ENGINEERS THIS COULD BE A HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC. THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE
Suspension, Electrical system, Wheels, Oct 12, 2020
THERE IS A RUBBING/GRINDING SOUND FROM THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE GOING 55+MPH. THE HEATING & COOLING IS SHUTTING OFF AND NOT TURNING BACK ON. RADIO SCREEN IS HOT TO THE TOUCH
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Sep 10, 2020
I WAS PULLED OVER AT NIGHT BY A POLICE OFFICER FOR NOT HAVING ANY REAR LIGHTS. THE OFFICER INFORMED ME THAT HE IS ALWAYS PULLING DODGE DURANGO'S OVER BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THE LIGHTS FILL UP WITH WATER AND THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CORRODE AND NO LONGER FUNCTION. THIS IS A 2018 THAT DID NOT PASS A PA SAFETY INSPECTION IN 2020 WITHOUT PAYING $1,888.51 TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED PARTS. THE GASKET AND SEALANT ON THIS PRODUCT BREAKS DOWN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ALLOWING RAIN WATER TO FILL UP INSIDE THE TAIL LIGHT RACETRACK ASSEMBLY THAT IS ONE PART CONTAINING THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS, BACKUP CAMERA AND REAR BACKUP LIGHTS.I CALLED FCA CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE AND WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE 2014 MODELS AND DODGE IS NOT WILLING TO ELEVATE OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMER IS UNKNOWINGLY DRIVING WITHOUT LIGHTS UNTIL BEING PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE OR THE VEHICLE DOES NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION. THIS ISN'T A $100 EXPENSE THAT IS BEING IGNORED BUT A $1,900 EXPENSE. THIS VEHICLE COULD HAVE ONLY 1,000 MILES OR 500,000 MILES BUT SHOULDN'T BE BREAKING DOWN IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. THIS IS NOT NEGLECT OR WRONGDOING ON THE PART OF THE CONSUMER AND IS CLEARLY A QUALITY CONTROL BREAKDOWN THAT IS BEING IGNORED. HOW CAN WE REQUEST THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS DEFECT TO GUARANTEE THAT THE VENDORS AND MANUFACTURERS OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ARE THE ONES PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS AND NOT THE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE THE VICTIMS DURING THIS PANDEMIC WHEN I AM OUT OF WORK AND DON'T HAVE $2,000 JUST SITTING AROUND AND I'M STRUGGLING TO PAY THE BILLS AND PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR MY FAMILY?
Air bags, Structure, Sep 9, 2020, crash
I WAS IN A COLLISION, GOING 70*MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY. GUY IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HIS BREAKS WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF HIM. I HAD NO TIME TO STOP, SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF HIS CAR. NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS SMASHED IN.

69000 MILES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CODES P0440 WAS THROWN 2X. I ALREADY REPLACED PURGE VALVE AT MY OWN COST. I ALSO INFORMED DODGE. THEY WON'T FIX IT UNLESS I PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS. WHICH I ALREADY HAD ONE DONE. ALSO HEADLIGHT BULB DROPPED AT 38K MILES AND I INFORMED DODGE AND MECHANIC. SHE SAID I DIDN'T HAVE THE WARRANTY ON IT AND THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE UNLESS I PAID FULL COST
Electrical system, Jul 15, 2020
THE VEHICLE HAS SEVERE RADIO ISSUES TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS DISTRACTING TO DRIVE. IT STARTED WITH WEATHER ALERTS FROM COUNTIES OVER 100 MILES AWAY. NOW IT CONSTANTLY SWITCHED BETWEEN THE TIME SETTINGS, RADIO, AND AC WHICH IS A HUGE DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING. IF I ATTEMPT TO SHUT OFF THE AC SETTINGS WILL MOVE UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO ME AND HAS RECENTLY BECOME A DAILY STRUGGLE. I SEEM TO BELIEVE THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BEHIND THE DASH MAY HAVE A SHORTAGE OF SOME SORT. I CAN BE STATIONED AT A LIGHT OR MOVING AND MY SCREEN DISPLAYING THE ODOMETER WILL COMPLETELY TURN WHITE. SOME TIMES IT SLOWLY FADES AWAY AND OTHER TIMES JUST COMPLETELY GOES WHITE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M IN MOTION AND I LITERALLY HAVE NO WAY TO MONITOR MY SPEED, OTHER THAN RELY ON MY RPM'S. TODAY, 6/22/2020, I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE DASH WAS DISPLAYING FINE. I COME TO A STOP TO TURN AND MY DISPLAY BEGINS TO FADE. I AM NOT GOING FASTER THAN 34 MPH. EVENTUALLY, THE DISPLAY TURNS COMPLETELY WHITE AND MY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO REBOOTS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 10K MILES ON IT. NOW I WONDER WHY IT WAS TRADED IN SO EARLY. *TR
Equipment, Other or unspecified, Jun 22, 2020
THE DISPLAY SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY OFF AS IF I WAS JUST TURNING ON THE CAR. YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE DISPLAY SCREEN EXCEPT FOR DODGE AND ALSO THE VOLUME BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I USED HAVE TO TURN OF THE VEHICLE AND TURN BACK ON . SOMETIMES IT WORKS WITHIN THE FIRST TRY OTHER TIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. *TR
Electrical system, Engine, May 11, 2020
I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLED ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING, DRIVE LIGHT ON THE DRIVE STICK WAS BLINKING EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALREADY ON DRIVE. TRIED TO SHIFT IT TO PARK AND DRIVE AGAIN BUT THE DRIVE STICK IS LOCKED AND THE BREAK PADS WERE ALSO LOCKED IN PLACE. TURNED OFF THE AUTO START/STOP AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON WITH THE KEY FOB AND THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. GOOD THING IT WAS A RED LIGHT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN AGAIN ESPECIALLY IF I'M DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY. *TR

THE TRAVEL LINK WEATHER ALERTS ARE A DANGEROUS AND INCREDIBLY ANNOYING FEATURE. IT FORCES YOU TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD AND TEND TO IT OR IT WON'T UNBLOCK YOUR SCREEN. I DONT CARE IF IT'S WINDY 3 COUNTIES OVER. I DONT WANT MY NAVIGATION SCREEN BLOCKED WHILE I'M TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE RINGER GETTING THE SXM TRIAL DEACTIVATED BUT THE WEATHER ALERTS HAVE NOT STOPPED. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND DONE MY FAIR SHARE OF RESEARCH JUST TO FIND OUT THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THEM. SIRIUS IS NO HELP AT ALL.
Visibility/wiper, Feb 24, 2020
I BOUGHT A 2018 DURANGO FROM DODGE IN APRIL OR MAY 2019 SUPPOSEDLY "NEW". ITS HAD 2995 MILES ON IT FROM THEM JOYRIDING IN IT THROUGH TOWN. IT HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY DIDN'T DISCLOSE IT BUT CHARGED ME BRAND NEW PRICE. 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE WINDSHIELD STARTS CRACKING ON THE SIDE WHERE IT GETS GLUED ON TO THE VEHICLE DUE TO WEATHER CHANGE. OF COURSE SINCE THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED HANDS MAGICALLY THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO AND I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. THIS CRACK IS NOT DUE FROM A ROCK OR ANYTHING I DID IT SHOWED UP OVER NIGHT.
Exterior lighting, Jan 20, 2020
REAR 'RACETRACK' LIGHTING AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHTING SHORTS OUT AND DOES NOT FUNCTION. THIS IS CAUSED BY WATER LEAKING INTO AND BEING RETAINED IN THE ASSEMBLY. THIS ISSUE IS THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED IN A VARIETY OF ONLINE FORUMS. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE INOPERATIVE, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IS VERY DARK AND POSSES A SAFETY ISSUE BY INCREASING THE CHANCES OF A REAR END COLLISION.
Electrical system, Jan 12, 2020
OUR 2018 DODGE DURANGO GT, HAS ELECTRICAL ONGOING ISSUES. THE PADDLE SHIFTERS ON STEERING WHEEL ARE CONTROLLED THROUGH RADIO SETTINGS. EVERY TIME I TURN PADDLE SHIFTERS OFF, THEY JUST RESET AND TURN BACK ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE COMING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION I NEED TO PULL SAFELY INTO ROAD AND THE TRUCK HAS THE PADDLE SHIFTERS ENGAGED MAKING IT DANGEROUS. I THEN HAVE TO MANUALLY DISENGAGE THEM THROUGH STEERING WHEEL SO THAT TRUCK CAN DROVE AGAIN NORMAL. DODGE ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT. HAVE DOCUMENTED THIS, PLEASE HELP.
Service brakes, Jan 12, 2020
OUR DODGE DURANGO GT, HAS DEVELOPED A LOUD POP SOUND WHEN COMING TO A FULL STOP. I TOOK IT TO ANCIRA DODGE IN SAN ANTONIO, THEY ADVISED ME THE CALIPERS ARE HITTING BRAKE PADS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DODGE AGAIN DOES NOT WANT TO HELP. OUR TRUCK HAS BARELY 21,787 MILES AND I'M HAVING SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Engine, Jan 12, 2020
THIS LETTER IS A WRITTEN NOTICE TO DODGE/CHRYSLER CORPORATION THAT I AM TIRED OF THE WAY THEY ARE TREATING ME. I PURCHASED A 2018 DODGE DEALER GT, WITH ONLY 2,800 MILES. IT WAS A DEALER DEMO AND IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. STARTING FROM INSIDE OF INTERIOR FALLING APART, WHICH WAS FIXED BY DEALER. HOWEVER, AT 8,000 MILES OR SO THE ENGINE STARTED DEVELOPING AN INTERMITTENT RATTLE, THAT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. I HAVE TRIED COMMUNICATING WITH DODGE WITH VERY LITTLE HELP. RIGHT NOW I HAVE AN OPEN CASE WITH DODGE BUT SO FAR MY CASE MANAGER HAS NOT BEEN ANY HELP. MY ENGINE IS GETTING DAMAGED, AND LAST TIME I TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER FOR SERVICE THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT OPEN ENGINE TO LOOK INTO ENGINE WITHOUT ENGINE LIGHT. DODGE IS TREATING ME BAD. THE TRUCK EVEN TURNED OF WHILE DRIVING BUT THAT WAS ONLY ONCE, WHO KNOWS OF LATER IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I FEEL THIS TRUCK IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE IS SIMPLY JUST IGNORING.
Visibility/wiper, Dec 10, 2019
NOVEMBER 30, 2019, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WAS 34 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND WE HAD THE DEFROST AND HEAT ON LOW SETTING {1}. THEN A SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT, THEN COLD AIR COMING FROM THE ROOF AND COULD HEAR GLASS BOUNCING AROUND. WE PULLED OVER. SAW WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW. NO ONE WAS EVEN AROUND US WHEN IT HAPPENED SO NOTHING HIT IT. THEN LOOKING CLOSER, COULD SEE THAT THE GLASS WAS RAISED A BIT AND THE SEALS SURROUNDING IT WERE LIFTED IN A FEW PLACES. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD.
Electrical system, Nov 11, 2019
THE REAR TAIL-LIGHT SYSTEM (COVERS ENTIRE REAR OF CAR) ON MY DODGE DURANGO STARTED TO LEAK DUE TO AN INADEQUATE SEAL AND THE TAILLIGHT SYSTEM BURNED OUT IN VARIOUS SPOTS. ONCE OUT IT BECOMES MUCH HARDER TO SEE THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND CREATES A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. DODGE WILL NOT COVER THIS AND WANTS JUST UNDER $1,000 TO REPLACE IT. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO AS THE DECREASED TAIL LIGHT CAN BE HARD TO SEE ESPECIALLY IN THE SNOWY CLIMATE WE HAVE HERE IN WISCONSIN.
Vehicle speed control, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 7, 2019
I GOT THE CAR WITH 100 MILES ON IT AND THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUE.... KROGER'S AND MANY OTHER GAS STATION PUMPS KICK OFF WHILE FUELING. I HAVE TRIED PULLING THE NOZZLE OUT SOME, SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER LESS, ETC & THEY STILL KICK THE PUMP OFF. IT LITERALLY TAKES 10 MINS TO PUMP $20 WORTH OF GAS. ALSO, I HAVE A SLIGHT DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOP SIGN, ETC. ITS LIKE A SECOND DELAY THEN ITS LIKE IT DECIDES TO GO AHEAD & GO. RADIO/CONTROL SCREEN HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED DUE TO IT GOING TO A FULL BLACK SCREEN & FULL BLUE SCREEN, SHUTTING OFF, ETC. HOWEVER, EVEN THE NEW RADIO STILL LOSES THE PROGRAMMED STATION SETTINGS.

THE VEHICLE'S TRAVEL LINK SYSTEM GIVES WEATHER WARNINGS THAT POP UP ON THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SCREEN, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE CURRENT WEATHER WARNINGS ARE FROM COUNTIES THAT ARE 100'S OF MILES FROM MY AREA, AND EVEN IN ANOTHER STATE. ONCE THESE POP UPS OCCUR, YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO ENSURE THEY ARE NOT OF IMPORTANCE FOR YOUR AREA. I WAS TOLD BY SIRIUS XM THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO DISABLE THIS FEATURE OR CORRECT THE ISSUE OF THE POP UPS BEING FOR A STORM THAT OCCURRED LAST WEEK, AND THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO ACTIVE WEATHER WARNINGS.
