ABS system/ Traction control system/ 4wheel drive system/ cruise control. I had the ABS system repaired/replaced once this year already and now i need it done again. ABS failure makes the 4wheel drive system fail and it's winter time and i need 4 wheel drive for safety.
All brake warning lights came on, cruise control stopped working abruptly, service brake system warning dinger dinging, abs not working, engine braking all stopped working while loaded going steep grade, nearly lost control of the truck and was nearly in a serious accident, abs module and hcu said to be problem, issue still persists after said problem supposed to be resolved, truck is a death trap and there are multiple complaints about it, hcu and abs module are months back ordered, this needs recalled
It seems that this is a common problem on these trucks the HCU for the antilock braking system and the ABS module has to be replaced the traction control light comes on the ABS light comes on and the cruise control does not work.
I have tried many times to get these numerous safety recall complied with and get no follow up from my local dealer! I took it in for a scheduled appointment and was told parts were on order. It's been far to long, I have checked in numerous times and get no help. Please find a place that can make my vehicle safe or make them buy it back from me! I don't want to die, or kill an innocent family!

Came to stop light after running 20 minutes on the freeway. When pulling away, the throttle was not responding, but I was in the intersection (since the truck moves without your foot on the brake) and needing to accelerate to not get hit. Pressed on and off the accelerator until finally the engine started to respond. This is the 4th or 5th incident. My previous incidents were reported under complaint number 10969231. Incident occurred with 14862 miles on the odometer.
Owned this truck for less than a year bought with 6000 miles. Vehicle down shifts into a low gear while approaching a stop. This presents a safety issue on snow covered roads and everyday driving conditions. The truck has been in the dealership twice for this problem and it has not been fixed.the dealership says they fixed it" exhaust has broken from the welds I noticed this at 20,000 miles. This has caused the exhaust system to leak underneath the cab. A strong coolant smell regularly in the front of the truck, dealership says no problems, if so why does it continue" cracking sound in the passenger side dash also has been in the dealership and not fixed.
I was driving down a 4 lane highway and slowed down to traffic in front of me to approx ten miles per hour and pushed the throttle pedal to find it did nothing at all. I panicked and hit the pedal 4 times to the floor and back and had nothing and the. The fifth times a small 4 seconds later it jerked and spun the rear tires breaking the traction loose on the wet pavement and making the truck fishtail sideways into the edge of the lane beside me. Scary and embarrassing. I had no fault codes and 350 miles to drive today back home pulling a 41' camper. Looked on websites online and found numerous complaints about the same thing and fca has not address the issue with a true fix... my truck has 4507 miles on it.
Electronic throttle control light flashes and all throttle control is lost. This problem has happened on startup as well as when driving down the road. Vehicle has been back to dealer and (repaired?) four times for the same problem in less than two months. Only 11,000 miles on truck.
Dead pedal. Step on the accelerator pedal and nothing happens for 5 to 10 seconds. Three times with under 5K miles. Running at 60 for 30 minutes on a highway, come to a stop, ready to cross the street, press on the accelerator, and nothing, keep pressing and it finally kicks in. Second time, in street traffic, inching along for 15 min, get to yellow light, press on the accelerator, and nothing, in the middle of an intersection and light is red and truck won't go. Inched it out of the intersection. Third time, on same drive, transitioning freeways, running at speed, 70, then came to a stop on the new freeway, press on accelerator, and nothing for many seconds, then it takes off. I have lost confidence in the vehicle as I do not know when it will not perform and leave me in harms way.
Today I had a close call. Cruising empty, not towing, someone pulled out right in front of me on the highway. Got on the brakes. Had a good opening in the next lane. Pushed down on the gas peddle and started shifting lanes. The truck wouldn't accelerate, not even a little. After what seemed like 2-3 seconds it started to accelerate, and by then the car behind me was getting very close to my rear bumper. I didn't push the pedal to the floor but maybe I should have. Anyway, I'm going to the Dodge dealer and having a formal note put into my file about the problem. Have had the truck 2 weeks. Not happy and this could be very dangerous. I looked online and it seems this is a normal unfixed issue with these trucks, but seriously dangerous.
Depressed the accelerator pedal to speed up and vehicle continued to gain speed on it's own. Shifted vehicle to neutral and accelerator was still continuing to accelerate. Shut vehicle off then restarted vehicle, once accelerator pedal was depressed vehicle again continued to gain speed on on its own. Had to brake excessively to stop vehicle again put vehicle in neutral, engine was revving and turned ignition off again. This incident happened at the moment I left my driveway on a rural road. Vehicle was in motion when incident occurred. Vehicle computer displayed " electronic throttle service needed". each time the vehicle continued to gain speed on it's own.
