I have not had an issue as of yet...but my insurance company has warned me of 4 recalls that are apparently active on my vehicle and told me to come to your site to verify, but it says there are zero recalls on my vehicle, so I am wary of what to do. I was told by a local mechanic that one of the things listed in the recalls was potentially a issue for me but I would need to take my vehicle to the dealership to have it rectified. I do not want to have to pay for something if it is truly on a recall! I have children and I want my vehicle to be safe not only for them, but for myself and all those on the road around me, please help me verify these recalls are not just unfounded! I will attach a screen shot of what my insurance says is being and needed recalled below!

Vehicle speed control: cruise control
- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- 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.

Water has collect in race strip light, since then I’ve been experiencing electrical problems with the car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge durango. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer nor independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and suggested that the vehicle be taken to an authorized dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.
I was exiting a parking garage and applied my brake to stop to pay the parking fee. When I came to a stop the truck unexpectedly accelerated with my foot on the brake. I pushed as hard as I could on the foot brake but the engine was registering 4 to 5,000 rpms. My truck moved on thru the parking gate breaking the gate and then my truck entered into the main road. I almost hit two people walking on the sidewalk in front of the parking garage. I was able to move the truck into neutral once through the gate and the rpms went back to normal. Second event: in june of 2020 I was entering a different parking garage. I had to put the truck in park to open my door to retrieve the parking ticket. I got back in and put the truck in drive when I pushed on the gas pedal the truck again accelerated up to 4,000 to 5,000 rpms. I was able to brake and move the transmission into neutral and everything returned to normal. Third event occurred about two years ago. I had stopped at a red light with a car in front of me. The engine accelerated to 4,000 to 5,000 rpms. This time I had both feet on the foot brake. I then moved one foot over to engage the emergency brake. While stopped I could not move the truck from drive to neutral. Once the light turned green the car in front of me moved on. I was able to pull the truck over to the right curb and then I was able to move it into neutral. If I had not engaged the emergency brake I would have ram the car in front of me. I took my truck to a dodge dealer and they could not duplicate this event. These events are very alarming and very random. Any help would be appreciated.
Engine begins to make a noise and the car won't accelerate, lights warning to brake start flashing when there is no reason to break
Dodge durango u65/the federal safety agency 18v‑332 vehicle malfunction caused the vehicle (in motion, but slowing) to accelerate (leap forward) unexpectedly, causing an accident. This happened on a city street. This was the second accident with similar circumstances in this vehicle. After the first accident (6/28/18), we took the durango to the dodge dealership and were told nothing was wrong with the vehicle. The durango u65 recall notice arrived in the mail a few days after the second accident, and we immediately made an appointment at the dodge dealership for the fix.

On 1/19/2019, I went to brake while driving my dodge durango, and the car violently shook, made a revving noise, and accelerated. My foot was to the floor and the car would not stop. I hit two cars in front of me, which was the only way the car actually stopped moving, and it wasn't until I turned the car completely off that the noise and shaking stopped. A case was opened with fiat chrysler corporate office the date of the accident. A 3rd party company was hired to investigate the vehicle and pull date off of the electronic data record. That report was forwarded to fca for review on 1/26/2019. To date, no one from fca has contacted me regarding the status of my case. I call daily only to be told I will receive a phone call from someone, which has yet to happen. No name, number, or contact information has been given to me. I was told a letter was mailed out to me from the legal department with fca on 2/6/2019. To date, no letter has arrived, and when I asked corporate for information on who sent the letter, I am not provided a name or number of anyone I can verbally speak with. I was also told several voicemail messages have been left for me, but when the representative went to confirm my phone number, they admitted they had no phone number on file for me - so how could a voicemail message be left? This accident occurred in front of an elementary school, during school drop off. The outcome could have been much worse, and the fact that no one from a large corporation is communicating with me is appalling. I have a vehicle that is un-drivable, and I am still paying a monthly payment, even though I cannot drive the car. I need information on the status of my case, and no one is providing it to me.
1. Air bag continuously pops up whenever driving, I have received multiple emails from westgate and taken to them with no repair. Recent accident airbag did not work. 2. I am unable to open gas tank from inside, I literally have to get out go to back of truck and pull a lever, I found out how to do this by another owner who did it on youtube. I almost got hit by car twice. 3. I was in a car accident where I ran into a mini mall, I pulled up and parked then the car just took off on own, it happen so fast and only thing I our police could think was I pushed wrong peddle but I did not, I did take to westgate for repairs, there was a recall and was never reimbursed for $500 deductible or pain/suffering
