Issue: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017 Dodge Caravan and Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The brake switches on these vehicles may malfunction, keeping the brake lights illuminated and/or allowing the vehicle to be shifted out of the PARK position without the brake pedal being pushed.
Risk: Having the brake lamps continuously illuminated or being able to shift the vehicle out of PARK when the brake pedal is not pressed (and the ignition is in the RUN mode) can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake switches, free of charge. The recall began March 22, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U09.

2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT. MY FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE FOR A SECOND AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD QUICKLY, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR END OF AN ACURA SITTING ABOUT 10 FEET IN FRONT OF ME.
