There is currently a recall on the trailer braking system in the truck, making it unsafe and unable to be utilized to tow a trailer or anything due to the recall. I have called the manufacturer multiple times as the dealerships have advised me that they are only receiving 1 replacement part per week and have wait lists of 35 plus vehicles. When I spoke with the manufacturer regarding getting the part shipped rapidly so that I can utilize the towing feature on my truck I was advised that "it would be faster and better to just purchase a new truck". No other solutions have been offered to remedy the issue in a reasonable time frame.

In addition, if equipped, the trailer brakes will not function. Safety Risk Trailer lighting that is not illuminated may result in an approaching vehicle being unaware of the change of direction or speed of the vehicle and trailer which may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. The loss of trailer brakes can also cause a vehicle crash without a prior warning. Remedy FCA US LLC will conduct a voluntary safety recall to replace the trailer tow module. The manufacturer (warranty service provider) informed me of this safety recall on February 10, 2026 and advised me to get it repaired soon. I called the dealership where I purchased the new vehicle to set up an appointment for repair: Jim Browne Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Dade City, FL. However, their service department was not available, even though there was approximately 15 minutes remaining for their scheduled hours. The representative told me they consistently leave early. I called back when the service department was finally available and was told they are unable to repair the issue related to the safety recall. I notified the manufacturer of the problem with Jim Browne Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. The representative was unable to help me and escalated the issue to someone else. I was finally contacted this week by a different representative from the manufacturer, but he has not been able to help either. I was advised to contact your organization and then an attorney if your organization cannot help in this matter. I am appalled by the service I’ve received regarding my Ram truck situation and that the dealership and manufacturer do not care about safety issues. I’ve never had problems like this with my other automobiles.
