    In-car Electronics

    Infotainment system (audio, GPS, phone), rear entertainment system, backup or other camera/sensors, head-up display.

    What Owners Say

    Hardware replacement

    "The screen de-laminated. Causing my truck to repeatedly call my contacts while I was driving. I could not stop it, almost caused an accident multiple times. It also caused it to change radio stations while I was driving. Extremely annoying and dangerous. My dealer said they have at least 6 vehicles per week with the same issue. Yet there is no recall on it. I had to have the entertainment system replaced with a refurbished unit for $1200."

    Anonymous A., PA (2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn 3.6-L V6)

    "Screen started turning blank/grey from the top down. It was a glue problem with the screen. Apparently fairly common. I bought an after market screen and installed myself."

    Anonymous A., PA (2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn 3.6-L V6)
    Other in-car electronics problem

    "Screen delamination is a known, fairly common problem in this vehicle. I made a claim with Ram Cares and after a $200 diagnosis confirmation, they replace the radio and screen for free. it was out of warranty when this occured."

    Anonymous, KS (2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7-L V8)

    "The dashboard video screen delaminated (has a massive air bubble that formed within the layers of the screen). I would say I'd had the truck approximately 4 years when the delamination began. I think that's very poor workmanship for a high end Ram truck with a sticker price in the $60,000 range."

    Exhaust manifold

    "At 50,000 miles engine began making a significant ticking noise at idle. When vehicle was brought into the dealership I was told it was a known issue that model year. $1000 repair at my expense for a known defect does not sit well."

    What Owners Say

    Electronic or air suspension

    "The automatic air ride/suspension has been a disaster from the start. I didn't notice any major issue for the first 6-8 months. But after that I began to notice the system failed to adjust automatically (based on speed), the system froze regularly (would not go up/down), and the front and back wheels are virtually never at the same height/setting. I have had dealers download firmware updates, I have manually reset the system multiple times and I have had the compressor replaced. Nothing has worked. What's worse is I have had some dealers tell me there is no known problem/defect with the air ride on the 2018 Rebel. I know this to be untrue since there are Dodge/Ram user groups all over the place that talk about the defective air ride suspension. It's a shame because the 2018 Rebel is a gorgeous truck. But I would never invest in a high end Ram truck again given this kind of glaring defect."

    Anonymous, MA (2018 Ram 1500 5.7-L V8)
    Other steering/suspension problem

    "Sometimes the airlift system is crooked. Lopsided etc. One time it blew a fuse and I lost all my suspension. I had to order a replacmeent fuse before I could drive it again."

    If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
    Summary:
    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.
    What should you do:
    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.
