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 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.

Power train, automatic transmission, lever and linkage, column shiftDec 20, 2017
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 10,000 lbs, 2011-2017 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, 2009-2017 Ram 1500 and 2010-2017 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, all equipped with a column shifter. Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI, and, as necessary, replace it, free of charge. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T79.

Certain driving conditions, such as driving off-road or debris striking the vehicle may cause the roll rate sensor to trigger a fault within the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). If this fault occurs, the rollover side curtain air bag and the seat belt pretensioner will be disabled from deploying.
If the rollover side curtain air bags and seat belt pretensioners are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a crash that necessitates activation of these safety systems.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the ORC software, free of charge. The recall began June 26, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T25.

Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a USB drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge. Optionally, owners may download the update to their own USB drive from http://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation. In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network. This measure may not have been implemented on all vehicles and does not address access by other means that will be remedied by the software update. The recall began on August 25, 2015.

MY 2014 DODGE RAM BLOWS A POWDER OUT OF THE VENTS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN I5 DOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND MY HEATER KICKED ON BLOWING A WHITE POWDER FROM THE VENTS INTO MY EYES. I WAS TEMPORARILY BLINDED AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO SQUINT OUT OF 1 EYE AND GET PULLED OVER SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I BELIEVE MY CONTACTS SAVED MY EYES. AS THE EVAPORATOR STARTS BREAKING DOWN IT ALLOWS A POWDER TO FORM THAT CAN BLOW IN YOUR FACE. DODGE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING INSTALLED IN FRONT OF THE EVAPORATOR THAT WOULD PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.

MY VEHICLE HAS TREMENDOUS LAG WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT IT IS NOT ALL THE TIME.

TOO MANY TIMES NOT I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH TREMENDOUS LAG AND ALMOST REAR ENDED BY VEHICLES WHILE TURNING ONTO A ROAD. THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE UNTIL A FORCED "FIX" FOR A RECALL ON THE ECODIESEL ENGINE. UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION SOMETIMES THERE IS A 1-2 SECOND LAG BEFORE THE VEHICLE EVEN SEEMS TO ACCELERATE AT ALL. MY MILE PER GALLON HAS DROPPED SEVERAL POINTS AND DEF IS BEING OVER CONSUMED. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE TRUCK WILL ACCELERATE OR JUST LAG OUT ON ME.

THERE IS SERIOUS LAG IN THE THROTTLE RESPONSE AND SOMETIMES NO RESPONSE AT ALL. HOW CAN SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE US SAFER LEAVE US SO VERY VULNERABLE. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE FOR A FIX TO THIS ISSUE. ALSO THE UPDATE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO CAUSE A CHANGE IN FUEL ECONOMY OR THE WAY OUR VEHICLES RUN. IT IS HORRIBLE. IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT THE FUEL ECONOMY IS SO DRASTICALLY REDUCED, BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. EVERY TIME THAT I AM AT A STOP AND THEN PUSH ON MY THROTTLE I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE PICKUP IS GOING TO RESPOND OR NOT. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE BEEN STALLED OUT WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT ME BOTH WAYS. IT IS AN EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. WORSE, I AM CONSIDERING AN AFTER MARKET "TUNE" AS ARE 1000'S OF OTHERS. THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER TO THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.

WHEN U GIVE IT GAS IT HAS A BAD SLOW START AT LEAST 3 -5 SECONDS BEFORE U HAVE THE GET UP AN GO AN WHEN U DO IT IS LIKE A ROCKET . DIDNT DO THIS BEFORE THE V08 TUNE. AN THE RPMS R UP ALMOST TO 1 AN IT SETTING STILL . THIS VO8 IS A JOKE . IT HAS MESSED UP MY TRUCK . NO GOOD TRYING TO PULL A CAMPER . OR EVEN PULL OUT WITH OUT A BIG SPACE TO DO IT IN .

WE CAME HOME FROM A SHORT TRIP AND DISCOVERED TRAILER WAS RESTING ON TRUCK BED. IT TOWED FINE ON WAY HOME SO WE DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING UNTIL WE STOPPED TO PARK IT. WE CALLED A REPAIRMAN WHO REMOVED SKIN AND FOUND AT LEAST 9 BROKEN WELDS. HE SAID WE WERE LUCKY WE DIDN'T KILL SOMEONE. HE CALLED A WELDER TO LOOK AT IT. HE SAID THE FRONT PORTION AROUND HITCH WAS BUILT LIKE A MAC TRUCK BUT THE SECTION PAST THAT WAS BUILT LIKE TISSUE PAPER. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH SUPPORT OR BRACING AND THAT AREA FLEXED BADLY. HE SAID WE WERE LUCKY IT DROPPED DOWN SLOWLY, IF IT HAD SLAMMED DOWN THERE COULD HAVE BEEN FATALITIES. *DT CONSUMER STATED BOTH REPAIRMAN AND WELDER SAID FAULTY WELDS THAT FAILED AND LACK OF SUPPORT.*JB*DT CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALER.*JB*DT*TR

I HAD 2 MORE RECALL NOTICES SENT TO OUR HOUSE IN REGARDS TO THIS VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE RECALLS DONE BETWEEN THE DATE THEY ARRIVED HERE AND THE FIRST OF THIS YEAR DUE TO SOME HEALTH ISSUES. SINCE RECOVERING FROM THE ISSUES I GOT ON THIS SITE TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY THE RECALLS WERE AND NOW NOTHING POPS UP WHEN I ENTER THE VIN #. I CALLED THE DEALER AS WELL AND ASKED AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. I FIND THIS FUNNY SINCE IVE GONE TO OITHER SITES AND LOOKED UP RECALLS AND THIS VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF 12 RECALLS. I AS WELL KNOW THAT NOT ALL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.
