RECALLCampaign #18V332000

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

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.

Fix: 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.

Your vehicle's RF (radio frequency) module has lost connection to the vehicle's computer system, causing your engine to shut off while driving. You may also notice warning messages about your key fob being out of range and your tire pressure monitoring system not communicating properly, along with a battery that drains too quickly even while the engine is running. The issue started after the dealership repaired a leaking rear window that was dripping water onto the RF module, and disconnecting the battery temporarily resolves the problem, though it returns over time. The RF module may need to be replaced again or inspected for water damage, and the vehicle's electrical system may need diagnostic testing to find the root cause.

CrashFiled: Feb 2025

I am experiencing an Antilock Braking System ('ABS') control module software malfunction that disables the Electronic Stability Control ('ESC') system. Last fall Sept 2024 was the first incident. I was driving back one night to my cabin construction project in Somerset, PA. It rained earlier in the day and everything was wet. I was almost back to the site, my dash lights started wildly flashing. The ESC SYSTEM OFF displayed, the (ABS) light illuminated along with SERVICE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. The front passenger side tire started to shake, just as I was trying to avoid a large pothole around a bend. My truck slid straight across it and slammed my front end down in the ditch. I had NO CONTROL. It caused my side airbags to deploy and the seatbelts to lock up. I drove out of the ditch, the truck was ok. I was close so i drove to the cabin. The next morning I inspected everything, in addition: the front bumper was bent, fog light hanging, wheel well was bent, and there were a lot of scratches. I am a small business owner, I didn't want my insurance to go up, and was waiting until I could afford to fix it. The latest incidents were during the last two weeks. First, I was driving on a 70 MPH highway, suddenly service air pressure system displayed and passenger tire pressure went to “0”, the ABS and ESC warnings displayed, and that tire started shaking. I pulled over to check the tire thinking I had a flat , but it was fully inflated. I turned off the truck, waited 5 mins then started it back up, "fixed" then drove home. Since then, the truck is randomly locking that brake, while I'm driving. THREE separate times it has locked up. I thought I was dragging something one day as I was backing up. Next day I was backing out of my driveway quickly and it caused me to slide into the road. I test drove away slowly, seemed fine. I went through the three stop signs to get out of my plan. It locked up at the third stop sign, as i turned right almost threw me into the sign.

Your vehicle lost all electrical power and shut off completely while you were driving on two separate occasions, though your steering and brakes continued to work. A local repair shop determined that your alternator (the part that recharges your battery while driving) was faulty and causing the problem.

Your truck displays a "Service Shifter" warning light that comes and goes intermittently, making it hard for mechanics to diagnose. Your parking sensors also frequently show an "unavailable" message. You've experienced a brief hesitation or stalling sensation when accelerating onto the highway, followed by normal operation, though the Service Shifter light continues to flicker on and off. The issue likely involves a faulty shifter sensor or electrical connection that needs to be tested with diagnostic equipment while the warning is actively occurring.

Your ABS module has failed, causing multiple warning lights to appear on your dashboard including Service Electronic Stability Control, Service Trailer Brake System, and Service 4WD. The diagnostic codes indicate a vehicle configuration mismatch and faulty data from the transfer case, which matches a known recall for ABS system updates on your truck model. Although your vehicle appears to have the same issue covered by NHTSA Recall #24V-653, your VIN did not show up as included in the recall and you were never notified. Fixing this will likely require an ABS module replacement and possibly a software update from the dealer.

The first time I was driving at a speed between 45-50 MPH and vehicle shutoff with instruments reading vehicle must be placed in park depress brake and start engine. After coasting to a safe area to stop the vehicle seemed to have shifted into park just before a full stop and abruptly and aggressively stopped.

This is caused by the rear light back window has a recurring leak that has resulted in water intrusion into the vehicle. This water damage led to the failure of the Remote Frequency (RF) hub, a critical component. The issue has also resulted in corrosion to wiring harnesses and electrical components.

I've been left stranded multiple times due to this defect causing keyfob to not work not allowing me to enter the vehicle either when needed especially when my wife is alone at night in this vehicle. Additionally, electrical failures pose a fire hazard and could potentially affect other critical systems while the vehicle is in operation. There are thousands of ram truck owners also complaining of the exact same issue.

The backlite window on my 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie (VIN: KN655467) has a recurring leak that has resulted in water intrusion into the vehicle. This water damage led to the failure of the Remote Frequency (RF) hub, a critical component responsible for recognizing the key fob and enabling the vehicle to start. The issue has also resulted in corrosion to wiring harnesses and electrical components. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This issue has put my safety at risk on multiple occasions. The vehicle has repeatedly failed to recognize the key fob, rendering it completely inoperable. On two separate occasions, I was left stranded and had to have the vehicle towed. Additionally, electrical failures pose a fire hazard and could potentially affect other critical systems while the vehicle is in operation. The issue has been confirmed and reproduced by the authorized RAM dealership. The dealership determined that water intrusion from the backlite window caused the failure of the RF hub and other electrical components. Despite this, RAM/Stellantis has refused to replace the backlite window under warranty, only applying a temporary sealant fix that has repeatedly failed. The vehicle has been inspected by RAM dealership technicians multiple times. Each time, the dealership has confirmed water intrusion as the source of electrical failures. RAM/Stellantis has been made aware of the issue but refuses to properly address it. There were no warning lamps or messages before the initial failure. The first symptom appeared when the vehicle failed to recognize the key fob and would not start in November 2024. After the RF hub replacement, the issue reoccurred, requiring additional repairs.

My vehicle with 70k miles on it has had a failure of the motor generator unit (MGU). This is a mild hybrid system that provides power for the vehicle. My truck is completely unusable per the service technician at the dealership. If I continue driving it the battery power will drain and I will be stranded. It appears it is a bearing failure in the generator. Upon investigation there are numerous cases of other Ram 1500 owners having the same issue at relatively low mileage for such a crucial engine component. The part is currently backordered and I just read a report that there are over 5000 currently ordered in the system, so that would lead me to believe that over 5000 owners are having the same issue. Luckily I was near my home when this occurred as this could have left me stranded. Reports say it could be 1-2 months before parts are in stock to fix the issue. This just seems unreasonable for 5000 customers of a major automotive manufacturer to have potentially dead vehicles for 1-2 months.

The issues started with the sunroof not closing. And the uconnect touch screen inoperable ( it went black and no options available ) It seemed to be a fluke and resolved itself. But within a few weeks the icons for the driver and passenger seat heaters were no longer on the screen. Now that the season has changed and temps have dropped, the drivers side heater will automatically come on when the truck is started and it’s below a certain degree outside. It gets crazy hot and will only shut off when the truck is turned off. This was followed by the icons for the radio options resorting themselves and the one for USB disappearing as well. The usb connection still works, but it has to automatically switch over when plugged in, it cannot be manually selected. Lastly the ParkAssist seems to have a mind of its own. Sometimes it will function as intended. Other times when I start the truck it flashes a warning that the park assist is unavailable and the lights on the switches are on showing it’s been disengaged. When pushed they will flash and then turn solid again. Other times it will happen while I’m driving. There will be a ding and the unavailable warning will flash on the screen. When the icons first disappeared I called mopar/uconnect customer service. They tried to walk me through some diagnostics but none of it worked. They suggested maybe getting a software update. But couldn’t tell me if that would fix it or not. When I asked if it didn’t they just said I’d have to replace the whole uconnect system.

I came to a stop at a red light. The auto stop/start was active so the engine stopped. When the light turned green, I lifted off the brake and the truck started back up as usual. Once I got into the middle of the intersection, the truck stalled out and the parking brake set and skidded to a stop. I restarted the truck and released the parking brake. I made it 10 more feet and the truck stalled a second time and again set the parking brake. I had several cars swerve to avoid my truck. I started up and made it off the road to a parking lot. I couldn't replicate the issue and drove home cautiously. 18*F outside temp and recent snow storm.

2019 RAM CLASSIC BIG HORN. IT'S BEEN QUITE A JOURNEY WITH THIS TRUCK. FIRST, ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT (FEB 19) I NOTICED THE BED WAS A COUPLE OF INCHES TO THE LEFT OF THE CAB. TURNS OUT, IT WAS THE CAB NEEDING ADJUSTMENT NOT THE BED. DROVE IT FOR A YEAR FINE. 2 MONTHS AGO I ATTEMPTED TO START AND IT WAS DEAD. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD WORK BUT IT WOULD NOT START'NOT EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER. I DISCONNECTED THE NEG BATTERY POST AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES, HOOKED IT UP AND IT STARTED. DROVE IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN, BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE IT DIED'WHILE MOVING IT JUST DIED. IT WAS ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER FOR SOME WARRENTY PAINT REPAIR SO I FIGURED I'D DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AGAIN AND DRIVE IT OVER. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR THE ALARM WENT OFF. NOTHING I COULD DO TO TURN IT OFF. COULD NOT TURN THE KEY TO OFF AND COULD NOT GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. PUSHING THE BUTTONS HAD NO EFFECT. DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY SILENCED THE ALARM. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY TRIED FOR TWO WEEKS TO FIX IT. THEY CHANGED THE IGNITION MODULE, AND IT DIDN'T' WORK. THEY REPROGRAMED THE KEYS AND IT DIDN'T WORK. THEY REPROGRAMED 1 ANOTHER NEW, DIFFERENT KEY AND IT DIDN'T WORK. THEY PROGRAMMED TWO NEW DIFFERENT KEYS AND SAID THAT FIXED IT (MAKES NO SENSE WHY THE SECOND KEY WOULD HELP). IT ALSO DOESN'T MAKE SENSE HOW THE KEY FOB MALFUNCTION WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO DIE WHEN IT'S RUNNING. PICKED UP THE TRUCK AND DROVE 200 MILES. THEN THE NEXT DAY IT DIED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 30 MPH, IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THEY CLEARLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS THING AND WON'T PAY TO TOW IT BACK TO THEIR SHOP. THEY WANT ME TO SEND IT TO A LOCAL SMALL TOWN DEALER, 4 HOURS FROM HOME. I CAN BARELY GET THEM TO RETURN MY CALLS. THE SERVICE REP SAYS ALL THEY CAN DO IS HAVE IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALER.
