Cruise control recall
"Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said Friday that it's recalling 4.8 million vehicles because it's possible drivers wouldn't be able to turn off cruise control and their cars could speed up unexpectedly.
The automaker said drivers of the affected vehicles should not use cruise control until they've visited their dealer for a software fix. The seriousness of the recall was backed up by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which issued its own consumer advisory, an unusual public appeal for the agency.
The recall applies to almost all of the company’s most popular Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram models, including the Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, Ram pickups, and the Chrysler 300 sedan and Pacifica minivan. Customers will be notified as soon as next week that they can make appointments with their dealers to get a software upgrade.
Cruise control allows drivers to keep their vehicle at a constant speed while on the road. Typically, all you would need to do to disengage cruise control is to tap the brakes, or cancel the mode by pushing a button."
