Two Chrysler Recalls: 50,000 New Cars, 86,000 Dodge Rams
AutoWeek is reporting that Chrysler Group is recalling more than 50,000 2007 cars and SUVs due to faulty anti-lock brake software. Included in the recall are: 2007 Jeep Wrangler, Compass, Patriot, Commander, Liberty and Grand Cherokee; 2007 Dodge Nitro, Magnum, Charger and Caliber, 2007 Chrysler 300 and Sebring.
The specific vehicles were built in late 2006, so not every 2007 model needs to be serviced. The problem “could result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning” according to a company warning.
This follows a recall last week of more than 86,000 2006 Dodge Ram pickups for faulty front-wheel bearings. The problem would present itself with noise and vibration and, if ignored, could cause the wheel to simply fall off, possibly causing a loss of vehicle control and a crash.
You can call Chrysler at (800) 853-1403 regarding either recall.

And remember,Chrysler could be had for the right price.....these kind of headlines sure isnt going to help their cause.
Maybe Malcolm Bricklin could get the Chinese to buy Chrysler,seeing as how his reborn Yugo concept never went anywhere.
What's with all these recalls? It seems like theres more then there was last year, either that or I'm payin more attention to it.
Glad they did this. NTSA seems to be doing a good job of forcing recalls to keep us all safe. I usually buy used or when car models are on sale so get the recalls out of the way.
Good example of taking leadership, gotta hand it to them for being proactive. Stuff like this should reflect of the sticker prices though.
The recall for the reprogramming the antilock brakes for many Dodge cars is not broad enough. I believe Chryslers number is F50. I believe I can prove this. There is not financial incentive since there were no one hurt in the accident. The number that is given to inquire with Chrysler is very helpful, If the air bag deploys. Once they found out the air bag didn't deploy they wouldn't even talk to me. The black box configuration on this automobile is only active if the air bag deploys.
I would like to see Chrysler or
N.H.T.S.A take make an investigation. I know this much they have a problem they would rather not address.
