THE CAR FIRST STARTED OFF WITH THE SCREEN TURNING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING..WE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT HOWEVER A FEW MONTH AGO THE CAR BEGAN TO TURN OFF IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING. BEFORE TURING OFF THE CAR WOULD BEGIN TO YANK AS IF RESISTING. WE PROCEEDED WITH PURCHASING A NEW BATTERY. THAT WAS 4 MONTH AGO. WE ARE NOW HERE 12/2018 AND THE CAR HAS ONCE AGAIN STARTED TO YANK WHILE DRIVING, TURN OFF WHEN GOING 10-40 MPH AND NOW HAS THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION AND VOLTAGE LIGHT FLASHING. ONCE IT IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINS. IT'S AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. ALL THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN CITY STREET AND TURNING.

Official recalls

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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: 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.
