Dodge, Jeep and Ram Included in Massive Fiat Chrysler Recall

Fiat Chrysler is recalling nearly 5 million vehicles over a cruise control issue. Among the brands are affected are Dodge, Jeep and Ram models from 2014 onwards.

The recall stems from a potential issue where cruise control cannot be deactivated. It can be triggered when the vehicle climbs an elevated surface while on cruise control. FCA says this can cause a short circuit, preventing the driver from disengaging cruise control by pushing the cruise button or tapping the brakes. However, drivers can still slow down by hitting the brakes or shifting to neutral.
