Chrysler has announced three separate recalls that involves close to 600,000 vehicles.
The first recall involves over 25,000 model year Jeep Compass and Dodge Caliber vehicles. The vehicles have been recalled due to a "sticky accelerator pedal." This recall is similar to the massive Toyota recalls and could cause the driver of the defective vehicle to suddenly and uncontrollably accelerate.
The second recall involves 285,000 model year 2008 and 2009 Chrysler Town and Country minivans and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans. A problem with the electrical wiring on the sliding door could cause it to short circuit and start a fire.
The third recall involves 290,000 model year 2007 through 2010 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The Jeeps are being recalled due to a leak in the brake fluid that could cause the brakes of the vehicles to lose power.
Chrysler has notified all owners of the defective vehicles and agreed to fix the defects free of charge.
