I have purchased a vehicle from canada that is currently being held in customs. There is an open recall (18v-486) that is currently tagged as "remedy not available". The vehicle manufacturer has no timetable available for the release of the parts required to fix this recall, so my vehicle can be fixed and released from customs.

The speed control will not shut off when the switch is activated. I took the truck to the ram truck dealer in temecula, ca (dch chrysler, dodge, ram) in jan 2018 with this complaint but to no avail; they couldn't find a problem. Now i read where over 5 million fca vehicles are affected with this issue. My truck does not appear on the nhsta or ram truck websites when i enter the vin and search for this recall. Now…

Vehicle "dead pedal" throttle response is downright dangerous. When accelerator is pushed to the floor to get out of the way of traffic the truck is unresponsive for several seconds and came mean life or death in certain situations. This has been a problem since new but fca will not correct the issue!! Please help get this corrected, we do not need someone to die before it gets corrected.

Nothing has happened so far. Steering wheel switches for electronic display quit working. Air bag indicator flashes some time. Radio controls intermittent. Cruise control sometimes works, sometimes doesn't i suspect defective clock spring in this vehicle. I see there is a recall for other fiat chrysler models but not this one. I think this one needs to be included as well.

I pressed the accelerator as i crossed through an intersection then i released, and i immediately went to press it again with no throttle response. The throttle response is so slow it almost caused me to have accident. This is not the first either but i thought it just may be a fluke until now. I have have owned my truck for about 4 months and the throttle lag has happened too many times to count. Crossing the hwy…

The truck has a "dead pedal" when you floor the gas pedal. It takes a few seconds to go forward. Ive had traffic speed up when pulling out from a stop sign and try and push the gas pedal and theres nothing. I spoke to the dealer and was told it was turbo lag. This is not turbo lag. Ive owned many turbo cars and trucks and none have had this issue. This is a major safety issue and is being discussed on many forums.…
