WENT TO A STORE WITH A HEAVILY SLOPED PARKING LOT. APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 DEGREES. PARKED CAR AND WENT IN SIDE, RETURNED TO THE CAR, STARTED, AND PLACED CAR IN REVERSE, LOOKED BEHIND ME FOR PEDESTRIANS AND NOTICE SOME PEOPLE DOWN A LITTLE WAYS.. PROCEEDED TO CAREFULLY PULL OUT OF THE SLOPPING PARKING SPACE IN REVERSE. APPLIED SLIGHT PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFTED CAR INTO DRIVE. REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE TO APPLY FOOT TO GAS PEDAL WITH A LITTLE MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL DUE TO THE SLOP, TO KEEP CAR FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS.. THE CAR KEEP ROLLING IN REVERSE DUE TO THE DECLINING SLOP OF THE PARKING LOT. CAR DID NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO HIGH RPMS AND IF NOT FOR A FAST REACTION FROM ME RETURNING MY FOOT TO BRAKE AFTER REALIZING WHAT WAS GOING ON, I COULD OF EASILY RAN INTO THE PEOPLE THAT I NOTICED EARLIER. NOT GOOD! WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO STOP THE CAR, THE CAR WENT INTO GEAR AND THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY DUE TO THE HIGH RPMS. THE PEOPLE IN THE PARKING LOT WERE ALSO STARTLED. THIS IS THE PRIMARY CAR FOR MY WIFE AND I ASKED HER IF THE CAR HAS NOT GONE INTO GEAR BEFORE. TO MY ASTONISHMENT SHE SAID ONCE. THIS CAR NOW SITS IN THE GARAGE AWAITING THE CHRYSLER DEALER TO PICK IT UP 27,997 MILES. THIS KIND OF PROBLEM COULD EASILY DO HARMFUL BODILY INJURY TO A PEDESTRIANS OR MY WIFE. .

May 17, 2018

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.
