2017 RAM 2500 Forward Collision Avoidance Problems

The contact owns a 2017 RAM 2500. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the ABS warning light illuminated, and the cruise control mode became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The contact was made aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V896000(Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.

Mileage: 43,000

Illuminated warning lights: The ABS warning light, as well as service messages for the electronic brake control and anti-lock braking system, will turn And off. Check engine light will come on and off. Dinging sound and message on the screen: A persistent, intermittent dinging sound may accompany a flashing message on the instrument cluster indicating a system problem.

I received notification of Manufacture Recall C4B (NHTSA Recall 24V-896) in Nov 2024. My intermittent ABS light on my dashboard is continuously going on and off, indicating a problem with the anti-lock braking system since 2024. This prevents the setting of cruise control as well as a constant alarm sound. I feel this directly correlates from the brake hydraulic control unit HCU susceptible to failure or malfunction as stated in the recall and feel unsafe to drive my vehicle due to the potential risk of loss of ABS/ESC/Traction control that may cause my vehicle to crash without prior warning. I have attempted to remedy this situation by contacting the Washington, NC and Greenville, NC Dodge dealerships and Mopar Parts Support (800-765-7732) directly for immediate repair only to be told that they do have my information on a ticket but do not have a part to fix it, but in the same breath tell me I can buy an after market part at my local auto parts store at my cost and have the dealership install at my cost to resolve my issue. This is unacceptable, as I now have a financed vehicle that I purchased from a Dealership and I am unable to confidently drive due to safety concerns that my life and others on the roadway may be in danger. In addition I am continually paying my monthly finance payment, auto insurance , yearly taxes/tags since the recall November 2024 and it is now August 2025 and I have an unsafe undriveable vehicle! I am seeking your assistance to demand the manufacture fix the problem by repairing it, replacing it or repurchasing the vehicle.

My truck is a 2017 Ram 2500 and is experiencing the same issues as those included in NHTSA Recall No. 24V-896. However my truck was produced before the April 1, 2017 range listed. I have replaced the HCU as recommended by the dealer on [XXX] at my own cost and this did not resolve the issue. The dealer says the control module is faulty, but Chrysler will not provide the part as they say the HCU I purchased is in the Faulty range also but they say that even though the part I purchased to correct the issue is under recall, my truck is not and they have not responded to my request to correct the issue. This is a safety concern as it affects ABS, TSC, Parking Assist sensors and most importantly prevents the vehicles 4WD system from engaging which is an extreme safety concern in the mountains of North Carolina in winter. I have been trying to fix the problem at my own cost for a year and a half and the gross negligence on the part of Chrysler and Stellantis will not even allow me to purchase the needed parts. I am seriously considering legal action due to this total disregard for the safety and lives of their customers.

I have read online that this is a common problem for Ram Trucks. The SEBS and ABS lights and alarm will start flashing and dinging- the result is Intermittent ABS and traction control lights, no cruise or 4x4. I have 38,000 miles. I spent approximately $1300 to have it repaired. When I was. At the Ram repair shop, I was told that the parking lot was full of similar Ram trucks with the same problem.So clearly there should be a recall.

Issue a recall here! Many others are reporting this identical issue and a class action suit has been filed! ABS sensor light and chime comes on at random times. My truck just reached 100,000 miles. I've performed no troubleshooting but it is extremely intermittent, either the Service the Automatic or Service the Electronic Braking System(s). Usually, a bump in the road makes it come and another turns it off. Sometimes it happens so quickly, only the message and traction control disabled light comes on, sometimes only the chime comes in. Sometimes the message stays up and the brake warning and traction control light comes on, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes a couple of seconds. To compound the problem, there appears to be an issue in sourcing replacement parts resulting in a delay in repair. A delay in repair could result in a additional damage to the vehicle, not using the vehicle (not an option) or ultimately an accident. Also can’t use cruise control when it’s displaying.

ABS module failure

The illumination of the ABS light and traction control light. The light actives intermittently. The reported problem from a vehicle code reader is “ ABS pump motor control general electrical failure”. With the lights illuminated, I am no longer able to use cruise control. Prior to the warning lights I noticed I was having to depress my brake pedal harder than normally at random times. No signs of brake fluid loss or leaks. The brake pads are in good working condition. I have not taken it to a dealer as I have read the replacement parts are on back order and there are multiple lawsuits pertaining to this issue as well.

On November 9, 2022 I had the Control-Anti-Lock Breaking System repaired by Bob Moore Chrysler Dodge in Tulsa. They replaced the HCU and performed a base bleed of the brake and ABS breaking system. This repair was prompted by the vehicles ABS warning light and chimes activating during operation. As of September 3, 2024 the same ABS warning light and chime is again activating during operation. I paid $620.00 the first time to get this issued repaired and I do not feel that I should have to pay this again on a part/system that is obviously defective from the manufacture. My research into this issue shows this is a common issue on these models as well as a possible safety problem.

ABS and EBS keeps flashing on and off code said wheel bearing hubs , replaced them still happening

2017 Ram 2500 crew cab ABS light on know traction control light on will not engage in 4x4 because ABS light on Code said ABS C0020-01 ding,ding,ding,ding always.

The vehicle has an intermittent ABS TCS warning that Dodge refuses to recall and fix. The warning light goes off incessantly it should be a recall and Dodge has known about the problem for 7 years at a minimum.

The ABS module has failed. There aren’t any available across the entire United States in order to fix our vehicle. We have no ABS, no cruise control, no trailer brakes. We can’t get any help or answers from Ram. We have started a case with them and cannot even get a call back. The dealer cannot even order the part.

ABS module constantly going off and removes 4 wheel drive, parking assist, traction control, and and brakes

On my truck my ABS and traction control light came on as well as a message that say to service ABS system. The parts are on back order for a year now. This problem has surfaced on many Ram 2500's. I contacted the dealer and they don't have parts to fix if. When driving in wet conditions especially while towing a trailer the wheels lock up while breaking. I've been towing going down hill and have had to use a combination of engine breaking, downshifting and feathering the brakes to slow down. Chrysler Fiat should issue a recall on this issue since it happens to many Ram 2500. This started when I had only 38k miles on my truck. Chrysler fiat has issued a recall for the 2019+ trucks but not the 2014-2018 which have the same exact problem. I'm hoping you can help this matter.

The “service antilock brake system” code is appearing for the 4th time. I only have 64k miles on this truck. The CDJR dealer in Angleton, Tx has replaced the module and pump 3 times. Now it’s back. I’m sure it’ll all need replacing, again.

My ABS, traction control lights come on and off also loose the ability to use cruise control and electronic breaking system while pulling my trailers. This has been brought to the dealership and fixed once already and it only lasted long enough for the 1 year warranty to expire and it has started doing the same thing again. Also loose my trailer lights when this happens...

Getting code C0020-01 code being given randomly.

ABS/Traction control unit disabled (light on). diagnosed by dealer in October of 2023 as ABS pump and module as bad. No part available from dealer (dealer only part and ETA of 3/24). Advised to park truck until part came in 6 months. Called Dodge customer care on 5/2 to ask for update. was told no part available and no ETA in the future. I am driving an unsafe vehicle due to faulty brake system dealer can't/won't fix.

The check electronic brake system light started coming on intermittently in October 2023. Dealer determined it was a faulty hydraulic control unit but it took three weeks to locate the part for a vehicle just over 24,000 MILES and based on other reports I consider myself lucky to have my truck repaired under four weeks. RAM was completely unapologetic and had me pay full price for the repair. I have no trust for the replaced part or RAM as a brand. Sold the truck, but I would not mind a refund for parts of questionable quality.

ABS lights illuminated, Electronic stability control. ABS module has been replaced but did not fix issues. 1050.00 spent so far. This is a hazardous safety condition when driving if brakes are applied harshly. There are hundreds of complaints about this issue on these model trucks. My truck has 52000 miles on it.

ABS service light continually comes on and service antilock brake system light comes on daily. This seems to be an ongoing problem with all 2017 ram 2500 trucks there should be a recall on this Since it’s been a problem for 5 to 6 years

I own a 2017 Ram the electronic breaking system light kept coming on when I had about 34000 miles on it but I had it over the 3 year period for warranty. Paid dealership about $1200.00 to get it fixed. Again at about 45,000 miles it started it again. Checked with dealer said it would cost about $1400.00 to get corrected and they would have to wait for parts. I see a lot of others have had the same problem with that model. I feel as lot of others, this should be a recall item. Also cruise control want work when light is on. Ram is going to wait until someone has a wreck and a fatality before they do anything about this issue. Also there will be a class action suit against them and they will be plenty follow. Hope how soon Ram decides to honor this defective issue.

C0020-01 code. ABS pump. Truck only has 35,390 miles on it. Been replaced once in 2020 under warranty and faulty again. Of course now out of warranty. Seems to be a common problem affecting over 400,000 trucks. Why is there no recall?

ABS and traction control light came on, when faults were pulled, active fault # C0020-01. After contacting dealer, Service department stated it is due to faulty ABS module and Hydraulic control unit in 2017 and 2018 models. Parts are on national back order with no available ETA.

Fault: "Service Anti-Lock Brake System" warning light appears intermittently Fault Code: C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control General Electric Failure - The above problem resulted in unexpected loss of ABS brake control, loss of Traction control and 4-wheel drive during hazardous driving conditions where these features are highly required, causing us to narrowly avoid pedestrians and other nearby vehicles. - We have discovered multiple complaints of this mechanical error with vehicles of the same model, year and make. Pressure to have the manufacture recall vehicles with this problem has been enacted with no resolution to date. See RAM Technical Service Bulletin #S2005000004

My braking ABS HCU has failed 4 times in 6 years. At 4495, 10,058, 15,198, and 20,052 miles (last week.) Included is the paperwork associated with those failures that renders the ABS, and potentially the entire braking system into a failure mode. As noted in the paperwork, it happens about every 5,000 miles. Warning lights appear and dinging go off stating the ABS system needs serviced. At times its intermittent and other times it stays on. My research has found this is a very well noted problem with the 2017 and 2018 Dodge Ram trucks. In addition, there is a safety class action suit in California. Last date it occurred is noted below. I have all the repair data available electronically. However there must be a glitch in your system. When I hit the upload button it does not allow for an upload. Would be more than happy to provide.

ABS/and Traction Control lights flash on and off intermittently. Cruise Control doesnt always work.

Anti-lock break system malfunctioning. This module has already been replaced once in 2021 by a dealership. Now the module is malfunctioning again and needs to be replaced. This affects the trucks traction control system and cruise control. Meaning the vehicle will slide during winter/rainy weather. There are to warning lights that come on on the dash warning you that this system is malfunctioning.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 2500. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the ABS, traction control, TPMS, and Forward Collision Avoidance warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000. The contact stated Fiat/Chrysler/Ram Trucks is going to replace the hydraulic ABS module free of charge.

Mileage: 117,000

The HCU/ABS system in my truck is acting up and intermittent. Causing ABS to not work and making beeping noises on and off while driving. Also causes the cruise control to not work.

The Abs module and hydraulic control unit have been out on my truck for a year and a half. No abs, no cruise control, no back up camera and no 4wd. Ram has discontinued the parts with nothing to replace them.

The service light for a electronic Brake System as well as the light for Electronic ABS system started blinking on and off numerous times. I called the dealer to make an appointment and had to wait 2 months to get it in for service. When I got it in for service they told me the issue. They said it will be covered under my extended warranty. However, the part is in Engineering hold and is not available for ordering untill February 22, 2024. I need my truck. Can't wait 5 months for it to be ordered and shipped. That is if they release for orders in the 21st. Now my truck is setting in the dealer back lot, unsafe to drive they have told me. This all started while driving. Fortunately I didn't have an accident or and incident before getting it to the dealership.

ABS and Traction Control lights and bells and alarms going off saying need to Service Right Away. Called dealer and told not to drive truck till fixed. but the parts are and have been on back order for over a year because there are so many trucks with this issue and its going to cost me close to $2,000. to get this issue fixed. Its a faulty item not of my doing. Needs to be a recall on this issue. In the mean time I am with out a truck.

ABS light on and antiskid light came on and the bell is ringing and the cruise control not working when on

Currently 73K on the vehicle. "Service Electronic Braking System", keeps appearing on the dash indication lights, also, "ABS Failure". the problem is intermittent. Through out the driving process approximately 2 hours a day, this incident will start ad start 5-15 time during this drive. Cant't replicate or recreate the problem every time. No controls. I haven't notified the dealer, waste of time, only if you pay them for a diag fee. One doesn't know when a accident will happen, unfortunately I have no confidence in the system to protect me as it was intended

ABS light and traction control light coming on , cruise control will not work. I took it to a Ram dealership and it they advised me that it needed a new HCU, then they advised me that the HCU cannot be ordered until after February 2024. I cannot get a inspection sticker in my state (Virginia) with the ABS brakes not working properly and I’m afraid the truck braking system and cruise control not working.

Part Failure: ABS Module Part Failure: HCU Module Braking System Failure Safety concern This failure has been repaired 3 times ABS/Traction Light on/Warning chimes

I have had two hydraulic control units (HCU) fail on this vehicle since purchasing new. The first was under warranty and failed around the 30,000 mile mark. The second failed around the 50,000 mile mark outside of warranty and parts were very difficult to find. It took the dealer nearly a year to get the part and nearly $1200 in parts and labor to fix. Many other owners are experiencing this issue. When the HCU failure is detected, the vehicle cruise control will not work. It is sometimes intermittent. When the issue is not detected, cruise control works but will be disabled as soon as the issue with the HCU is detected. Very troublesome.

While driving down the road my vehicles ABS and Traction control light go on and off, most of the time the lights are stuck on. Causing the vehicle to not have ABS and traction control during the rain and snow months of the year an further more the cruise control does not work. At this point the truck is unsafe to drive in all conditions as it does not retain its safety braking systems, I will not put my family in the vehicle. Moving forward ask my local Ram dealer about the repairs and they say they can not get the parts they have been on back order.

Abs and traction control lights going off and on . Had pump and control module replaced april 2022.Now it showing same problem 9000 miles later.

The ABS module in our 2500 Cummins has been serviced multiple times since purchasing and is still throwing service codes. We have a child and need to be sure that this module is working properly. We know this module has been recalled in the 2019-2022 models.

At 9794 miles, warranty repair for Code C002001, failed ABS pump motor control, general circuit failure, replaced control module under warranty. Now the vehicle is having same issue at 37,XXX miles, and no longer under warranty. Screen constantly flashes "Service electronic brake system" and "Service ABS System" over and over. ABS light comes on. Traction control light comes on. Vehicle does not have functioning electronic brakes or ABS. I contacted original dealership who performed repair at 9794 miles who now reports they "have no record" of this repair, although I still have the customer copy of the receipt. I contacted Mopar customer support on 7/11/23 who told me that I would be contacted within 3 days, but I have not been verbally contacted. I also filed an online complaint with Mopar on 7/11/23 and have not received an electronic reply, either. This is a known issue on 2017 Ram 2500 trucks and something must be done about it. My vehicle is not braking safely and I fear to drive the vehicle at this time. Furthermore, our life circumstances require me to often pull a trailer, for which I am unable and uncomfortable with doing at this time. Please help. Dealership is reporting that this could be up to an $1800 or more repair for me to pay, out of pocket, which is unethical. This issue was originally repaired under warranty and persists. Furthermore, class action lawsuits have been filed over this issue, and investigations have been launched over this issue. Please help, thank you.

Vehicle set code C0020-01 ABS Control Module/ Hydraulic Control Unit failure. ABS system, Traction Control and cruise control does not work. Parts unavailable to fix issue leaving me with the choice or parking the vehicle or driving and u safe vehicle. This should have been a recall and Ram is doing nothing about it.

The abs light and service electric braking system light come on cost 1500 dollars to fixe to put new modules in it

Bought this truck with 88000 miles in Texas when I got home back to Arkansas the very next week I start having issues with brake occasionally spongy, service abs and traction control lights coming on and off multiple times and cruise control not working. It may work fine then all of a sudden ding and lights come on and shuts your cruise control off I have almost been hit for this issue multiple times.

ABS light and alarm come on and goes off at random intervals. This issue was repaired before on 03/04/2020 and now the issue is reoccurring when rain or hight humidity. The original ABS code on the system was C0020-01 (ABS pump motor control - general failure). The HCU part #68143491AA was replaced and ABS module the issue corrected. My concern is that the ABS is disabled on the vehicle once the condition occurs and could result in loss of control during a hard or panic stop. I pull a 7,000 lb trailer and am concerned that if a hard stop occurs the truck could start sliding and cause the truck and the traile to lose control.

Abs unit, hcu failed. Lights flash on an off over an over while driving. ABS light stays on so ABS will not work. Cruise control will not work. Keeps throwing service abs, and service electronic brake controller

Abs unit, hcu failed. Lights flash on an off over an over while driving. ABS light stays on so ABS will not work. Cruise control will not work. Keeps throwing service abs, and service electronic brake controller

ABS / Traction Control lights began intermittently turning on. After roughly 5k miles, the lights are on all the time. The truck is throwing code C0020-01. From looking around online, this is certainly not a unique situation. The fact that there is an updated HCU (P/N 68143491AB) to be released later this year, shows that this is a known issue.

At less than 50K miles, the ABS braking and traction control system has failed compromising the safety of the driver, passengers and cargo.

ABS/ Traction Control lights constantly going on and off. Kicks off cruise control. Message blocks digital speedometer. Known issue, yet FCA will not recall.

My 2017 Ram with less than 14000 miles has no a steady “service ABS system “light on:checking on internet this seems be to happening to ALL Ram models.

The ABS light constantly beeps and flashes. It is available for inspection. We are not sure if it is unsafe. We had it hooked up to the code machine from a dealership and they said it definitely needs to be fixed. Yes it has been confirmed. Not inspected from the Ram dealership yet because I was hoping it would be at no charge. We just bought the truck 8 months ago with 30,000 miles. There should be no problems. The lights come on every time you start the truck and blink more when you go over bumps .

ABS Hydraulic unit and ABS Module failed at 72465 Causing cruise control and 4x4 to not work. Warning lights flash on off intermitting. ABS module is on back order for at least 90 days. Not a guarantee fix. .

Service Electronic Brake and ABS lights flash on with dash chime indicating failure while operating the vehicle. No code stored. Intermittent issue - after reading other complaints it appears that this is a serious issue across all Ram owners. Dealer indicated that numerous truck owners are having the same issues and that currently parts are not available. Service tech advised me that the vehicles ABS may fail while operating.
