2017 RAM 2500 Service Brakes Problems

I was pulling my gooseneck trailer with equipment on it and had to stop quick because car pulled out in front of me an when I pushed the brake pedal it was very hard to push an my exhaust brakes did not come on an I noticed check brakes light an anti trac light were both on.exhaust brake was turned on in full exhaust an exhaust light on dash showed it to be on but exhaust brakes did not start working so I had ended up leaving the highway an going through a ditch so I wouldn't hit the vehicle in front of me an hurting or killing someone or myself,luckily it wasn't a steep ditch so I was able to make it down to the service road down below without any injuries or damages to my truck or trailer or equipment, I've call several times once I recieved the recall notice about hydraulic brake problem on my truck an all they tell me is call back later no parts available to fix the recall problem, it's been a year now an still no parts,I haven't pulled my trailer since that happend and it's very inconvenient an costly not being comfortable about pulling trailer an not being able to stop,I very seldom drive the truck at all just to local store about a mile from the house,out in the country with none or little traffic, how long is ram going to be able to say no parts available, I think the government should tell them its been a year an you still haven't fixed the trucks they should have to buy them back an the higher average resale price or give us another truck.

This is in regards to Recall #C4B for the ABS/HCU failure on my 2017 RAM. This recall was issued over a year ago in November of 2024, but Stellantis has yet to DO ANYTHING and can't even tell us when a remedy will be available. I have asked my local dealership and get the same answer, NOTHING!!! The parts must be available, because the dealership told me that I could purchase the part from them and pay them to install it. But, I would have to then wait to get reimbursed from Stellantis once the recall is "remedied". Two problems with this; 1) I don't have the $1500+ to spend on this, and 2) I don't trust them to ever pay me back! But, this does tell me that they have the parts. Plus, they have no trouble making and selling new vehicles with parts that don't have this safety failure. Can you make them prioritize this recall and take car of the thousands of RAM trucks with this safety issue. BTW, last month my brother-in-law was driving my truck on I-25 through Denver, CO. He hit an icy spot and lost traction causing him to go into a 360 spin. God was looking over him because he did hit anything or anyone. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING. STELLANTIS CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS DEATH!!!

2017 Ram 2500 Laramie Crew Cab , 4x4, 6.7 Liter Cummings A/T. Receiving a “Service Electronic Brake System Soon” warning light intermittent after start up since at least since June 2025. Code reader advises to replace “HCU” Hydraulic Control Unit, ABS Module. My vehicle was produced 03/2017, however the ram recall is from vehicles produced from April 2017. Seems they are excluding other production vehicles for the recall replacement of the improved ABS HCU Module.

I have been waiting for these recall parts for nearly a year or better. I'm not able to safely drive my vehicle or inspect it. It has been far too long and my vehicle sits in the garage with 49,000 miles on it. I can't move it, drive it, sell it, use it. I think chrysler should be made more responsible for the losses of many many people and this part for their vehicle. I contacted the AG's office and they recommended I file a complaint with you folks. Please, please help!

ABS Module and or HCU finally quit working. Loss of cruise control, ESC (traction control), 4x4 and speed sensor not registering. Had now storm around the 1st of December and got stuck on road in front of house due to loss of traction control and 4x4 not engaging. Dealer had said 4x4 was working when they informed me the ABS module needed replacement. It currently at a private diesel repair shop and they confirmed the ABS module needs replacement. Currently awaiting a ship and repair service to see if the module will work and fix the loss of above. There were two warning lamps on the dash lit up. The ABS and Traction Control light. I am hoping that all I need is the module repaired and that I don’t need the HCU replaced. This is super frustrating because there is a recall on the parts but the dealer and the company are in no hurry to find a remedy for the issue.

One instance all the brakes locked up on dry pavement. Second instance the brakes were slowing the truck on a wet surface but would not stop and did not engage the antilock brakes properly. 3rd time brake locked up just on right front wheel.

The recall was issued over a year ago and still no remedy.

I have code C0020-01-ABS Pump motor control on in my 2017 Ram 2500 for almost two years. I bought it used at a dealership in Maryland in June 2022 and each time I check with them, the part to fix it is backordered or not available. According to a Star online publication dated 4/28/20 from FCA, when this code is on the HCU and the ECU should be tested and replaced, but the abs module is on parts restriction. Also, NHTSA ODI (NEF-102ig PE22-012) sent a letter to Head, vehicle safety compliance FCA, on January 23, 2023, notifying them that NHTSA had opened a Preliminary Evaluation to investigate allegations of intermittent or permanent loss of braking performance in my truck type and year. I feel this is a severe safety Hazzard and a fix to repair should be immediately available, and a recall issued so the solution is free of charge to owners. At the time of the letter there were 134 reports, but can only imagine there are plenty more by now. Also, I’m sure there are thousands of owners who don’t know about this yet. Thank you.

The abs braking system failed and the truck was put in an uncontrolled skid where the brakes completely locked up and crashed into another car. The cause severe damage to 2 cars. I reported it to the dealership and they don't have a fix for it. There were no warning lamps prior to the collision and none are up now.

NHTSA Recall Number24V-896- HCU unit replaced once. Replacement unit has now fully failed. Dealer Dutch Miller Ram of South Charleston made positive diagnosis of failed unit [see attached]. Same dealer notes NC replacement HCU part is not available. Same dealer notes however for a charge of @$1100 Stellantis has replacement units available for installation with a part # separated from remedy part by a single digit. The warning chime causes distracted driving as warning light and chimes occur persistently intermittently. This unpredictability requires driver eyes and attention to confirm cause of warning! Recall letter received early January of 2025!

My truck will lose all throttle response and brakes harder to stop accompanied by a service electronic brake system, service electronic throttle control, and electronic traction control warning. It only happens intermittently and sometimes will go a few weeks before doing it again. (The date below for incident is latest date it happened)

This is related to recall C4B/NHTSA 24V-896. The ABS/ESC/Traction control warning lamps come off and on while driving. The recall states that this issue may cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.

Continuous warnings and tones showing issues for anti lock brakes and stability traction control. In less than 3 months will be a year since the recall was announced and there is no remedy. This is a nuisance and safety issue and should absolutely be a priority to fix. NHTSA #24V-896

This is my 2nd NHTSA complaint regarding this issue on my 2017 Ram 2500. Initial online complaint was done on 4/30/2022 regarding the trucks annoying and unsafe warning light indicating “Service Electronic Braking System” and amber ABS warning light. These warnings began on my truck in 2021 when it only had 12,000 miles. These intermittent warning lights and audible “dinging” still persist today at 22,000 miles. On 2/8/2025, I received notification of Recall #C4B (finally) as a result of the class action lawsuit and was pleased to see this development. To date, I, like many Ram owners are still awaiting parts to become available to have them replaced per the recall and am requesting that the NHTSA step in to assist as we all have essentially unsafe trucks on US highways. I believe this should be a priority, given the fact that owners of 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks often own them to tow trailers (like myself) which leads to additional unsafe conditions on the road. It’s unacceptable to allow FCA US LLC to continue to delay addressing this recall.

As I approached stop sign and applied brakes the ABS and traction control light came on. My truck then started surging up and down As I attempted to proceed thru the red light my truck stalled and shutoff an on coming car had to stop aggressively to avoid hitting me

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.

Truck has ABS and Traction control lights kicking on and off intermittently. Cruise control will kick off if engaged and won’t re engage until the lights go back off. Concerned this is gonna be a major safety concern hauling a 10,000 lb trailer

I was notified about a recall (NHTSA 24V-896) with the HCU being susceptible to failure around 1-15-2025. They have yet to fix the problem. They claim they are still working on a fix. I had the original replaced at 7336 miles and now the second unit is sending "check ABS system" lights. It has been 6 months of "chimes and warning lights" and they still claim they do not have a fix yet. Are they even trying to fix the problem or trying to figure out a way to get out of doing it. I would like to NHTSA to look into this matter and urge RAM to fix their manufacturing problem.

When I have gone to slow down and try to stop, the vehicle has slide forward a fee times. I thought it was a little weird, but didn't think to much of it. After a while, my transmission started acting up as well. I will be driving down the road about 50-60mph and it will shift to 4th gear and not come out of 4th gear until stopped and shut off and restarted. I recently heard about the recall when I took my truck to the dealership that is close to where I am located at the moment. I decided to research about the recall and what could happen if that part fails. It showed me that if the recalled part fails, it will cause all the problems that is going on with my truck. I am a full-time rv'er and trailer the country pulling an rv everywhere I go. I am stuck where I am until my truck can be fixed of these problems. This is a major setback and a major financial burden to have to stay where I am until it is fixed. I am near Thomson, GA where I am waiting to have my vehicle fixed.

Antilock brakes module failed part is unavailable for 6 months I am wondering why it is not being recalled

My HCU has failed resulting in loss of traction & locked steering wheel. The truck is not safely operable at this time and dealerships have repeatedly told me they can’t fix it. This has been going on for 2 months.

Today I was attempting to come to a complete stop as the light was turning yellow but my brakes were hard to push down and eventually I ending up passing the red light and went gliding through the street. Thankfully no vehicles were passing or oncoming. It was a very horrible experience to have, I no longer trust the car to go on freeways as I am terrified to crash.

As I was driving back home from the airport on [XXX] both front brakes started smoking and my vehicle became noticeably difficult to drive. At the same time an ABS brake warning light came on as well. Although the vehicle was more difficult to drive I drove slower to prevent a crash & arrive home. On [XXX] I brought my vehicle into Midas Sarasota where they diagnosed a failed brake hydraulic control unit (HCU,ABS pump). In addition Midas stated that the failed hydraulic control unit damaged both front calipers causing them to stick which is why my brakes were smoking. Midas also stated that the failed HCU caused damage to the mesh in my brake lines and that they had to be replaced. As a result of the failed HCU Midas had to install a new HCU, install new front calipers on both sides, and install new brake lines for a total cost of $1600.00 A few weeks after I had my vehicle repaired for this issue I received a recall letter from Stellantis for this issue. Since I had already had the repair completed I submitted a copy of my repair order and proof of payment to www.fcarecallreimbursement.com, Reference number [XXX]. A customer service agent - Ronald emailed me several times and reviewed by reimbursement request and stated that my claim was approved for $1342 for reimbursement. I questioned Ronald about why Stellantis would not pay for the full amount of $1600 because both front calipers and my brake lines were damaged as a result of the failed HCU unit. Ronald simply stated in his email that he could only approve repair charged for the failed HCU. I explained to Ronald that the HCU failure caused irreparable damage to both front calipers and to the mesh in my brake lines as shown on page 2 of the Midas Repair order that I sent him. I explained to Ron that if Stellantis has a part recall that causes damage to other vehicle components then Stellantis is responsible for the costs of all repairs, NOT just the recalled part. Can NHTSA please assist, OEM won't help. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFOR

Can not get the dealership to repair the recall c7b. Stating the parts are not available. Been several months waiting on parts and scared to drive my truck due to the danger?

My vehicle is under the Manufacturer Recall # CB4 (NHTSA Recall #24V-896) On January 1, 2025, while driving on a rural road, all the warning lights for the ABS and Traction Control systems lit up and I lost all braking power. I pushed the brake pedal to the floor, no brakes. I veered off into a field to stop the vehicle. Turned the vehicle off and back on. Still no brakes. I started to drive the vehicle to my house (3 miles away) and after a right turn the brakes locked. The Ram Recall center apologized for the incident and said I would be authorized a rental and gave me a case # but that there was no remedy for my vehicle. My 3rd call to Ram, the representative said they aren't sure if a rental is authorized, and that Ram would not cover towing my vehicle to the dealership even though the brakes are locked and cannot move. After 3 weeks of waiting, I had the vehicle towed to a local mechanic who was able to get the vehicle back on the road. I am still waiting for a remedy for my vehicle.

My ABS and electronic braking system is doing the same thing that is covered in the ABS recall just issued for other 2017 Rams but apparently my van is not covered.

I was driving when m ABS system errored failure as I was preparing to haul horses. I completely lost traction behind. Accordingly my truck is now completely unsafe.

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’m concerned, as I expect many owners of 17-18 Ram 2500 are. Feb 23, while returning to my home, I lost control of my vehicle after breaking before entering left to right turn that I had been thru thousands of times. Less than 1 mile from my residence I applied breaks gently prior to entering turn. After applying brakes, they locked up and I was unable to control my truck. I slid sideways a few hundred feet and made contact with a utility pole. I have never felt so helpless while driving. This caused significant damage to my vehicle. Never had any ABS problems prior to this event. After vehicle was repaired (well over $20,000) I had problems with ABS - Cruise Control that repair shop could not fix. They sent to tire shop who also could not repair. Was advised to take to dealer. Vehicle was repaired with new EBS pump (which was part of current recall). I paid $100.00 deductible for repair. I wondered why dealership reimbursed my $100.00. Now I know why, received recall in mail a few days ago for repair of this part. I think Fiat/Chrysler should be on the hook for my insurance deductible. Plus not having my truck for over 4 months. I’m also gonna lose money upon trade due to no fault of my own.

ABS/TRACTION CONTROL lights on, the systems do not work and the NTSB knows this. Numerous recalls on different years and Dodge models yet you won't recall the 2017. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

Loss of brake function

ABS/ELECTRIC BRAKING SYSTEM LIGHT... HAD ABS PUMP MOTOR and HCU REPLACED 2 TIMES WITHIN 28 MONTHS AT MY COSTS..LESS THAN 60K ON ODOMETER

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.

Repeated ABS service message on dash. Light and chime turn on and off while depressing brake pedal, turning, hitting bumps. ABS module and hydraulic module were already replaced 20k miles ago for same issue. Code C0020-01

HCU/ABS modules have failed for the second time in 50K miles. While using Cruise Control at highways speed (70mph) in heavy traffic the warning lines and chime came on. At the same instance the truck started slowing down dramatically. Almost causing us to get rear ended. It was like slamming on the brakes, but without brake lights to warn cars behind me. I finally figured out it caused the Cruise Control to kick out. Now I am having to listen to the constant chirping of the chime. It even chimes when the truck is not moving!!! Let me ask this question.... Why is it that long ago NHTSA required Anti-Lock Brakes on all cars to improve safety? Yet, when that system has a systemic problem of failure on these trucks, it's no longer a safety related problem? Makes zero sense!!! I purchased this truck with 99K miles on it. These modules went out once approximately 10K miles later. Now I have 154K miles and they have gone out again. FCA is selling replacement modules but they are the exact same failed design. They are not only not fixing the issue, they are knowingly selling parts that have systemic and reoccurring safety failures. This is legally called blatant negligence...

Abs module and pump motor need to be replaced but are on back order and can't be replaced. Vehicle is now unfit for operation.

ABS Light and traction conrol light started acting up. Brakes not currently sticking but will be sending for possible repair as this is a common trend with this vehichle from What I have reviewed online.

ABS traction control keep flashing on and off due to hcu problem

Abs pump intermittent light

ABS module failure

In July of 2020 my 2017 RAM 2500 ABS and Service Electronic Brakes warning lights began illuminating intermittently. My vehicle had 12,343 miles on the odometer at the time and was three years old. There was no noticeable change to the brake performance. The vehicle was brought into a RAM dealer for service which found code C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control-General Electrical Failure present with Starcase #S2005000004 instructing the replacement of the hydraulic control unit. This corrected the issue until August of 2024 when the above warning lights began illuminating again, intermittently, but in increasing frequency. The issue was diagnosed by a RAM dealer with the same code as above (C0020-1) and the recommendation to again replace the hydraulic control unit. My vehicle had 30,901 miles on the odometer at the time. The total for the service in 2020 was $984.89 and in 2024 $698.46 for the second replacement of a component within 5 years. Understanding that there was no recall ever issued, the ABS and Stability/ Traction control systems are designed to provide safety to vehicle occupants in heavy braking or loss of traction situations. While there was no noticeable difference in brake function, the presumption is that if there are warning lights activated, there is an unknown issue with the brake system which could result in brake failure. Further, the requirement to replace the same part twice in 30,000 miles at a total cost of $1,683.35 does not seem reasonable. Many owners have posted similar issues with this component with no apparent resolution other than to continue to replace the component when it fails. The component can be inspected, however it is currently installed on my vehicle.

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.

Abs and traction control light error repeatedly after repair and replacement of abs and hsu module

Recurring ABS and traction light warning lights, with trouble code C0020 for the ABS pump control motor. Loss of function of ABS, traction control, and cruise control when it occurs. Truck has ~50k miles on it.

Vehicle is displaying service abs and traction control. C-0020 and told to replace abs pump and hcu module. Ram has multiple issues with different year makes and models involving abs and recently recalled the new rams. Research has shown high numbers of issues involving the 2017 ram 2500 for this exact issue and ram also could not provide the recommended part to fix. Abs does not work which is required by the nhsta and ram has released defective vehicles for years. This issue needs to be included in a recall.

The ABS warning lights comes on intermittently saying that the ABS braking system needs to be serviced. This appears to be can common defect with the Hydraulic Control Unit and Module on all 2017 to 2018 Dodge Ram trucks. With this defect the anti skid braking system does not work and the brakes are compromised. This happened at about 30,000 miles and the truck was already out of warranty. Dodge is stating that it will cost about $2,500 dollars to fix once Hydraulic Control Units become available. Apparently there is a nation wide back order.

Abs light goes on and off intermittently. Caused my truck wheels to lock up in fast stop maneuver. Dealer said ABS module needs to be replaced but there is no recall yet.

ABS & traction control brake failure light goes on and off as I’m driving. The ABS module was replaced around 30,000 and now it’s doing the same thing at 70,000. This is unsafe to be carrying heavy cargo and not being able to stop in time. Please issue a recall for RAM to fix this issue.

ABS and Traction Control lights have come on for the second time. First time at 100K miles the Hydraulic Module and Controller were replaced at my expense. Now at 153K miles the lights are coming on again. This is a habitual problem with this generation of RAM trucks and it's a safety issue for the following reasons: 1) the ABS system stops working 2) the traction control system stops working 3) the cruise control is unexpectedly turned off, which is a major concern, and 4) the 4x4 quits working which in the right circumstances can cause an accident.

I have a 2017 Ram 2500 6.4L. The ABS light is constantly on. At times it’s off then back on. Buying new parts for it does not fix it. I slid off a rainy road the other day due to this. Narrowly missing a vehicle. The brakes locked up. This is a safety concern. Please help. As far as I have found out there is no fix for this.

Anti lock brake system has intermittent Error code. Been living with this for two years. In the beginning, no-parts available from factory. Error can flash many time in and out during any driving period. Code C0020-01 'ABS Pump Motor Control-General Electric Failure. Dealer only repairs, however they cannot get parts. Was told this today. 9-12-2024 No recall from Ram/Chrysler/Fiat. $60k for a truck, the manufacturer takes no responsibility. Thousands have reported this issue over many years of production. I can't say this LOUD enough; This is a BRAKE system failure!

Abs service light come on and off intermittently. Something to do with a bad abs control module

ABS and Traction control warning lights are on display. Cruise control and 4x4 will not engage due to this issue. Also causing malfunction while towing a trailer.

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

ABS / TRACTION CONTROL AS WELL AS SERVICE ABS SYSTEM. AT TIMES IT COMES AND GOES AND MOST TIMES NOW IT STAYS ON. DISABLES CRUISE CONTROL AND AT TIMES EVEN SAYS 4 WHEEL DRIVE UNAVAILABLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY YEAR MODEL RAM AND I'D LIKE TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE ASAP.

Antilock Brake System Warning and Traction Control lights on dash with associated warning chime. Was also given the warning that 4X4 is not available. The warning occurred on a return multi-day trip. The warning interrupted cruise control causing it to turn off and unable to reengage. After a brief fuel stop and the trip continued the warnings disappeared after a few miles. The warnings then reappeared with the associated disengagement on the cruise control. A few more stops were made and the warnings persisted never going out after restart. Reading forums on the internet seems to indicate this is a persistent issue with numerous reports the the NTSB. The Vehicle has approximately 75,000 mile and was place in service in early 2018.

It appears multiple people I know have the same issue with 2017 ram 2500 my truck included I have issues with my trucks ABS. I got a random code looked it up and says ABS pump motor control. It’s a danger to the public and my self truck suddenly gets that ABS light and emergency light turn on.

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.

ABS/traction control lights keep coming on due to something wrong in the ABS HCU and/or control module with fault code C0020. It is my understanding that almost all 2017/2018 2500s & 3500s are affected. This needs to be a recall.

ABS failure code. Very inconsistent. Has been repaired yet still throws the code when it rains or hitting a bump. Frustrating

ABS and traction control light flashing randomly. Causing cruise control to shut off randomly. Caused by faulty ABS modal, and or HCU. This is a know major issue with 2017 rams with parts not even currently available to fix.

Dash warning lights service abs brakes and 4 wheel drive and cruise control doesn't work with the lights on. Mopar does not have the parts or nohow to fix this.

Truck has had two ABS units replaced under warranty for the code C0020-01. Now a year after the last replacement the code has come back and needs the ABS unit replaced again. FCA knows there is an issue with these and continue to sell and install parts that they know will fail. This will cause the loss of ABS braking, traction control and trailer braking. Someone need to force FCA to provide a "correct" repair and ungraded parts for this error.

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.

ABS/HCU defect. Vehicle does not stop properly without ABS and parts arnt available. Warning chime will not clear and unsafe to drive.

ABS LIGHTS AND TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHTS INDICATE PROBLEM. ERROR CODE IS : ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM C0020-01 I am not protected from the anti-lock brake system that could potentially save my passengers and my life.I am no longer able to use cruise control as I paid for. online states parts are unavailable. Cost of fixing should be covered by manufacture as I have less than 40,000 miles on my truck and have it serviced regularly.

The anti locking brake light comes on and goes off all of the time. It's very annoying with it ringing when the light comes on.

Service ABS Electronic Braking System Message, ABS as well as Traction Control light intermittently coming on and shutting off, Sometimes staying illuminated awhile then going back to coming on Intermittently. Took to shop and ran diagnostic trouble codes on truck. The trouble codes saying ABS/HCU Pump Module Electrical Failure. Recommended fix is to replace ABS Pump Module. I am aware of the class action lawsuit and this same issue on most all 2017-2018 Ram 2500 trucks. The problem I am presented with now is, The ABS Pump Module is on national back order which is making it extremely difficult to find a replacement. I am now left with a truck that is unsafe to drive as a father and husband due to the vehicles Antilocking Brake System not functioning at all as well as the Traction Control System not functioning at all. Due to these issues when I am forced to operate the truck for commute to and from work and day to day purposes I am now putting my family, myself and everyone on the road at risk as there is no immediate solution to the problem at hand. This is wildly unacceptable just as well as it is wrong in every aspect to be put in the position that I could possibly injure or kill another family on the road simply because this issue is going through political channels and I have not other option but to continue to operate the vehicle for day to day life.

Service ABS comes on and off randomly. When cruising at highway speeds, it causes the random shutdown of cruise control when not expecting it. This is very dangerous. Dealer states parts are on back order for years and they also state that it won’t fix the issue long term anyways. How has this issue not resulted in a safety recall!? I’ve read that thousands are plagued with this same exact issue.

C0020-01-ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL - GENERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE

2017 Ram 2500 ABS Pump Module was replaced before at 33,549 miles in May 2021 ABS and TCS Lights keep coming on now again at less than 49,000 miles. This is not an uncommon problem it seems, so I am adding my incident.

The ABS sensor light and Anti Brake light warnings both suddenly came on. I was only way to have my tires rotated so they ran the tester on it and came up with code C0020-1. ABS motor pump control and General electrical failure. I did some searching and found that this happens a lot and there is not a consensus as to what causes it or how to fix it. Also references to a faulty part. I have the part numbers. They recommended that people having this issue report it to you.

Abs module in limp mode with 45k miles think they have a problem by the looks of all the people on forums that have the same issue. No ABS while this is faulting and they have no fix got to love it I feel so safe now driving around.

Abs module and hcu failure. Must be replaced AGAIN.

At approximately 101,000 miles, the service Electronic Braking system and service Antilock Braking system warnings began showing up intermittently on the dash. I have taken the vehicle to a dealership and have been quoted between $1,500 and $3,000 for repairs once parts are available, with a 6 month wait for parts. I was notified that parts had become unavailable in the second half of 2023. I have lost cruise control and slight braking performance due to this on top of the nonstop annoying dinging going on.

At around 80k miles, started getting the service anti-lock brake system, electronic braking system alarms. Traction control light and abs light are on permanently now. What's funny is that now the rear parking sensor failed which makes me wonder if all this in the electrical system is tied together. Dealer said it was the hydraulic control unit. That did not fix it. Next it was a wheel speed sensor. That did not fix it. Then it was abs module but it is "discontinued." In other words, Chrysler knows there is a major issue and NEEDS to issue a recall but hasn't yet! I have over a grand in this and it's not fixed. Dealer said that they don't know what the fix is. Please issue a recall!

•abs pump motor control general electrical failure •no abs or traction control •yes has been confirmed on a professional scanner •no •no lights until it went bad again Replaced the and/hcu in October of 2020 due to the dtc c0020-01 and all was fixed until June of 2024 and now the same code is back. Not wanting to replace the same part again just for it to go bad in 2 years.

Service EAS Braking, ABS warning lights intermittently appear.

Intermittent MIL stating ABS and TCS service required, started has been going on since I bought the truck in January 2023 at about 50k miles (currently about 75k). Often happens when driving over any sort of uneven terrain - bumps, potholes, seams between concrete and asphalt surfaces, milled asphalt surfaces, speed bumps, debris, etc. Dealer says the ABS module needs to be replaced, and that there are none available. With some research, this appears to be a common/known issue for Ram trucks, but no recall and no effort to even manufacture the part so it can be fixed, regardless who is stuck with the bill. When this light comes on, neither 4WD nor cruise control function, which can cause safety concerns - especially while towing.

ABS TRACTION LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENT. Seems like every time I hit a bump.

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.

2017 Ram 2500 needs HCU and ABS modules dealer diagnosted the problem 2/29/24 parts are still not available to fix. I read there’s many of us with this problem it should be a recall, I shouldn’t have to pay $1635.00 to repair it.

Abs module and pump goes on and off about to put the third one on the truck and only has 74,000 miles

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

The ABS and electronic brake system service warning is going off. I scheduled an appointment and the Ram dealer and after inspection claims that HCU-ABS Hydraulic Control unit needs to be replaced. This seems to be a very common issue with the RAM 2017 2500 model.

ABS and traction control lights intermittently go on and off. Most of the time just by driving over a bump. Constantly going on and off. Many forums online about this related issue. Many talk about pump being replaced and not solving or the Hydraulic Control Module replaced and not solving and many talk about faulty electrical connections. Error code: C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control - General Electrical Failure

"CHECK ABS SYSTEM" LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON/OFF. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON EVERY TIME I HIT THE BRAKES IT CHIMES. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2017/2018 RAM 2500/3500 TRUCKS AND THAT THE ABS MODULE/PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT THEY HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR OVER A YEAR. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE LOADS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL. THE DEALER SAYS THAT I SHOULD "BE CAREFUL" DRIVING THE TRUCK AS THE ABS NOT WORKING COULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCE.

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.

Problem System: Antilock Brake System. ABS hydraulic control unit and ABS module were replaces due to dash warning lights "service antilock brake system." After aprox one year, the warning lights have started coming on intermittently. Sometimes the warning will activate and be consistent, and other times (usually in warmer, dry weather) the warning may occur once and go away for days or weeks. Sometimes it is constant for days. I paid over $1200 for my first repair and just received a similar quote to do it again. I know there have been many complaints about the RAM 2017 - 2018 ABS systems and I feel it's time the NHTSA pursue RAM and put some pressure on them to do something about this.

Truck is flashing on and off the ABS light flashes on and off constantly turning off cruise control. Found code for problem C0020-01 ABS pump motor control - general electrical failure. This poses a danger when driving for ABS system to sporadically fail while driving.

In August 2021 ABS brake light is on and on 8-26-2021 I paid Approximately $1000 to have the master cylinder replaced to correct the problem. In early 2023 the problem returned intermittently. I made appointment with Goofy's brake service. When I took the truck to Goofy's appointment they determined that the problem required a Dealer service department. Made appointment with Dealer for 09/29/23. Mileage was 82,851. Dealer determined that I needed the master cylinder replaced again. Problem was that they could not obtain the necessary repair part as the part was being redesigned due to frequent failure. I was not going to be covered by warrant as it was now over 2 years since the know defect master cylinder had been replaced. They were going to call me when the newly designed part was avail. Coat was going to be around $1000 again. It is now 6-25-2024. problem is still intermittent; Dealer has never called me for part replacement. Vehicle has over 88,000 mile now. When this error message occurs, I cannot use Cruise control. I am forced to drive with a known braking problem, and I must pay to replace part I have already paid to have replaced. If and when the improved part becomes available.

Brake error and traction control error on dash. It is available for inspection. Not sure if it is safe but we have not options. This started several years ago. We have looked at ordering parts and tried to make appointment at dealer but parts were out of stock. We have not ever taken it in to the dealer as this happened literally 2 weeks after our warranty expired. No one has inspected it. There were not any other warnings prior and the vehicle seems to function but it is annoying driving it as the warning goes off all the time. I know they recently recalled newer Dodge Rams for this same type of issue but seem to be refusing to recall the older models for those of us that have been waiting and hoping nothing safety wise happens. It is a well knows issue and there are class action suits in other states.

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.

Service ABS and service electric braking system lights intermittently present. When lights are on ABS and cruise control are inop.

Information screen on vehicle said "Service Anti Lock Braking System" the traction control and abs light come on and go out. The brakes seem to work fine. This started about May 20th of 2024 one time. This now June 16 2024 and it is happening very frequently. I have read that this is a common problem with this year and model truck. The vehicle hasn't been inspected at this date of writing.

Continue to get Service ABS and Service Electronic Braking System warning lights. ABS does not work when warning lights are on returns to normal when warning is off. no other detected issues with the braking system. It is displaying code: C0020-01

ABS lights come on randomly and my cruise control and ABS fail while they are on. Dodge will not sell me the part to fix the issue even though it’s been a well known issue and even has a class action lawsuit filed. Part number they are regulating is 68347098AB. This is a major safe concern as my truck slid off the road this winter when this happened.

ABS and traction control module goes out every two years that leaves me driving unsafe vehicle. Need a recall on this 2017 . Please help!

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...

abs light is on all the time traction control not working alarm is on the last time I ck at the dealer they had no parts

Anti-lock Brake System Hydraulic control unit - ABS Pump Motor Control-General Electrical Failure. C006A54 ABS no longer active, no 4x4 for snow travel, no cruise control. Failure occurred before 40,000 miles Failure is intermittent and affected by bumpy road conditions. These symptoms are consistent with the well known stuck motor brush issues. Ram does not sell a replacement motor, only the entire HCU

Abs and traction control randomly quit working.

Abs light comes on and disables the cruise controls. Says abs brake failure and I have researched this and found it is a common problem. 6 speed Transmission is turning on check engine light and says gear 5 and gear 6 has improper ratio. Shifts hard into gear5 and won't downshift for passing gear.

Getting code C0020-01 code being given randomly.

ABS module failure. Replaced and failed again at about 19 months. Replaced again and failed at about 20 months. Review of chat lines shows numerous owners complaining about same problem. I just can’t keep replacing the ABS module every 1 to 2 years.

the truck experience issues such as the loss of anti-lock braking, cruise control, and traction control. These missing features and systems significantly compromise the control and handling of the Ram trucks, particularly in adverse weather conditions like wet or snowy roads, where braking becomes more challenging. ABS service light / traction control light / no cruise control flash ON this has been an issue for almost a year truck has 68k now

C0020-01 code, ABS control pump and electrical failure. This is second time since purchasing this truck new in 2017 that this has occurred. Parts are now on national back order with Ram taking no responsibility on covering costs of replacemenf on an item that shouldn’t be failing multiple times in the life of a vehicle. This is an ongoing problem with MANY Ram owners.

ABS/ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM The service ABS/electric braking system /traction control lights and warning began to come on intermittently a couple months before taking it in for service. It was sporadic at first but eventually became more prevalent. This was unsafe as it would happen going on the highway at highway speeds pulling a trailer and the ABS would disable- as well as the cruise control and also the traction control. This could have caused a serious accident and put myself and family in danger. This was verified by the dealership- Junction Chrysler Dodge- the vehicle trouble code was C0020-01-ABSpump motor control General electrical failure. ABS/HCU were replaced.

Intermittent “service ABS system” light on dash resulting in loss of ABS, cruise control, park-sense, and 4x4. No amount of troubleshooting from a reputable diesel mechanic has been able to fix this. From what I have read online this is a very common issue and the truck likely needs an HCU/ABS module

ABS HCU braking system failure common problem on these trucks but no safety recall. All these trucks have the same problem but no recall.

For the second time, my truck is repeatedly having "Service electronic braking system" message appear and disappear constantly while driving. This is mixed with "Service ABS system" message that also repeatedly pops up with a audible ding. The warning lights for traction control and ABS repeatedly turn on and off as well. This happens over and over the entire time while driving. We were on a family trip with our 1 year old when this started again most recently. We had to turn back around, drive home and swap trucks and everything in them as we can not have potential brake failure with our 1 year old in the vehicle. The trucks has just over 51,000 miles and this is the second time this has happened. The first time the truck was under warranty, so it was "fixed" by the dealer. I am no longer under warranty. The part to replace is unavailable online, and from what I am reading may be on a national back order with the dealers (I left a message with my dealer who fixed this last time under warranty- have not received a return phone call yet) The last time this was fixed I was told it was the ABS HCU which was replaced. I have looked this up since and learned that this is a known/common issue for the 2017-2018 HD Rams.

2017 Ram 2500 the Antilock braking system failed resulting in erratic brake pedal at times difficult to stop. bought replacement parts online, had them installed, had same issue. then took it to the local dealer, they have had the truck for a week now, replaced all brakes, rotors, pads, master cylinder, still same issue, they think it's the ABS pump that I bought at the dealer two weeks ago. same with the module. now I am hearing possibly late June for good parts. I can't drive the truck in its current condition, I am spending $ 300.00 a week for a rental. this is unbelievable that they can't provide safe parts for the trucks. just plain nuts, please help

ABS and traction control light came on intermittently at first, now they are constantly on. I have lost cruise control as a result.

Abs and traction control light flashing randomly and disabling cruise control while on.

ABS and HCU have gone bad and parts are not available. Please help. This should be recalled, these parts have gone bad in many of the 2017 and 2018 ram trucks.

Vehicle has less than 22000 miles. ABS controller replaced at 7000 miles then again at 14000 miles and is now needing to be replaced again.

We too our 2017 Dodge Ram 2500 to Lenoir City Chrysler Dodge on January 11, 2024 because the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control warning lights were coming on. The truck was in the shop for about a week. We were told initially that the part (electronic control module) was on order. Then we were told that the part was under redevelopment and that they did not have a date for when the part would be available. We do not know if the truck is safe to drive or not so we have not been driving it. All we want is to purchase the part so we can use a truck the cost us $43,000.

Abs and tc light turn on ad off intermittently regardless of what mph driven. Constant audible warning sound. Dealer states known issues with abs system hydraulic contol unit with similar vehicles.

Abs traction control light on

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.

Traction control and ABS lights flicker on dash cluster. Possible ABS module failure. Parts on back order, I believe this is a safety hazard that needs to be corrected by a recall. This is a known issue that has yet to be resolved since 2017. That's unacceptable.

Service Antilock Brake System & Service Electronic Brake System on 2017 Ram 6.4 hemi

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.

I bought my truck brand new in 2017. Two weeks ago my truck started intermittently flashing a brake warning as well as an audible alert. The screen says “service electronic braking system”. Also, when this happens, it shuts off my cruise control. Worrying me as the braking system is CRITICAL for daily use.

Brakes

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

Abs pump failure on a vehicle with 80k miles.

ABS brake system error ,brake module failure

A sensor in the ABS braking system went out. We attempted to get it fixed in September but were told the part was unavailable until February due to the fact that Ram was having to reengineer the part. We personally know 5 people who have had to replace this sensor. The service manager at the dealership told us that it was a very common problem. We have been driving for months with no ABS. Shouldn’t this safety issue be a recall? If the sensor had to be reengineered, Ram obviously knows it’s a problem.

CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON, AND STEERING NOT TURNING LEFT AT TIMES.

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.

ABS and traction control lights come on.

MULTIPLE repetitive ABS/HCU failures starting in 2022. Truck has for the most part been sitting since then due to unavailability of parts, reengineering of parts and now again lack of availability of parts. Should we have encountered an emergency braking situation we would could have experienced, increased stopping distance, loss of steering control and significantly reduced traction. This ABS/HCU also causes us to lose trailer brake controller and our truck is primarily for towing. Which is why ABS was mandated for all vehicles in 2011.

Intermittent service electronic brake system message/ABS system service required message on dashboard. Truck has less than 32,000 miles on it.

The ABS and Traction control lights began to flash and the alarm began to come on intermittently in 2021. I took the truck to the dealer for repairs because the ABS, Traction Control and Cruise Control were not working. The repair cost was $1,00.00 at my expense. The problem has recently returned and is going to need repaired at my expense again. The ABS system not working causes a safety concern with stopping the vehicle. This is a know issue with these vehicles as such I feel it should be the manufactures responsibility for repairs.

A Hydraulic Control Unit malfunction resulting in multiple warning lamps flashing on and off intermittently - including the ABS, the EBS, the Traction Control, and the Cruise Control.

ABS and traction control lights keep turning on and off. Service anti lock brake system message appears then disappears.

My truck has a failure of the ABS system to include the cruise control. This failure has resulted in the brakes locking during slick conditions and the vehicle to slide. I was not going fast so there was not crash. My truck is showing a code coc0020-10 (ABS pumpmotor control-general failure). This failure was repaired (replaced the HCU) by the dealership on 10/06/2020 and this temporarily fixed this issue. In 2022 this issue started again, and I contacted the dealership and was referred to Ram customer support. Ram customer support told me that the HCU was under engineering review and the review should be completed by Aug 2023. At last check there has been no new part number to replace the defective parts. I feel this issue should be fixed with a mandatory recall.

Service antilock break system warning lights for the second time now. Replaced abs control module and hydraulic control unit at 51000 miles now at 56000 they are bad again. 1400.00$ in less than a year to keep my breaks working as they should with no recall on parts

Have had the service electronic braking system going off and on now for about 8 months now and have been waiting on a recall but that hasn't happened so here i am filing a complaint. My cruise and anti slip does not work while these warnings are on the dash.This defect could lead to the brake failure

ABS, electronic stability control and speed control not working. Code C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control.

C0020-01 code. ABS pump. Truck only has 45,390 miles on it. Been replaced once 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? RAM 2017

ABS and traction control light. Continue to flash on and off cruise control will not work when light is on and traction control does not work. One light is on. I Heard there is a class action lawsuit in California trying to have my vehicle fixed. It continues to beep whenever I hit a bump or take a turn. Sometimes it's on. Sometimes it's off

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.

ABS warning and traction control lights will stay on

ABS Traction control lights

ABS light and traction control lights display, as well as flashing messages “Service ABS System” and “Service Electronic Braking System” when weather is wet or when I hit a bump or pothole in the road. Dealer states the ABS module and hydraulic control unit needs replaced and that the ABS system could lock up during emergency braking and suggested not driving. Parts are backordered until July 2024.

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

Picked up my truck from the dealership and my ABS, and traction control light came on, and i lost my abs function and traction control. The my dash started flickering and it would go in and out. Now my heat also has stopped working. Truck is saying service abs system, service electronic braking, service rear park sensor. I do not feel safe in this vehicle as i did my research and see how many vehicles have been affected, i cannot believe Ram has not done a recall as with out my abs i almost slid off the road as it was icy out that day and i was unaware my abs would just stop like that.

My abs module has a fault code on my dash with the light staying on. I went to my dealership to get the part replaced for my safety and after ordering one and paying for it in December 2023 they are now finding out their is none available and will not be available to order until June 2024 ,with no guarantee they will be available then What is one to do under these circumstances the is something the company needs to address NOW!!! Not whenever they feel like it. From what I’ve read online this seems to be a major problem that many people that own these vehicles are dealing with Hopefully you help me with this situation Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

During a snow storm, ABS and traction control lamps came on. The truck would not come to a controlled stop. After much sliding and skidding it came to a stop by hitting a snow abatement and curb line.

On approximately 7/20/2021 service anti lock brakes and service traction control warning lights and beeper were activated. The warranty had just expired due to date not mileage. Upon investigating on line I found this was a wide spread problem with no recall at this time. The fix is to replace antilock brake pump at a cost of 800 to 1,500 $. Dodge could not tell me if the part was upgraded or they are installing a newer version. They also would require a 250.00 scan after I supplied them a code on my scanner that identifies the same problem and a code. Now the warning lights go on and off on rough roads but mostly stays lit. I don’t know how much of a safety issue this is but apparently I don’t have traction control when the light is lit. As of a couple months ago the parts were not available.

ABS light goes on and off. C0020-01-ABS code internal failure. Cruise control goes in and out when code comes on. Brake pedal inconsistent.No parts available to fix this concern.

I have an ABS light on and a traction control light. I understand this is a problem with 2017 Ram 2500 and the 2018 Ram 2500. It is my understanding from the dealer it will cost over $1,000.00 for the repair so that my brakes will work properly. Vehicle has less than 87,000 miles on it. I feel this should be brought to your attention. This is a safety issue for all affected vehicles. Ram knows about the issue and has failed to address the problem. I feel this should be corrected immediately. This is a safety issue for the motoring public.

I keep getting the ABS/Traction control warning lights and aural dinging warning on my 2017 Diesel Ram 2500. I pull a 10,000 LB trailer and without this feature, this is a hazard and danger to me, my occupants in my truck and other motorists on the highway. I do 95% of my driving in the mountains so it is a very crucial, critical and dangerous situation when I don't have ABS operating. If there is ever an accident, Dodge is open to a law suit because there hasn't been a recall on this. I've read several other owners of this vehicle with the same issue. Please have Dodge company do a recall for everyone's safety.

The ABS brake system has failed and been replaced 3 times now and it is bad again. It needs to be recalled. The truck only has 53,000 miles

Electronic braking systems and abs needs to be serviced. I have repaired this issue 3 times already from the dealership. It has popped up again

ABS, Electronic control system malfunction. Constantly failing causing safety to driving.

Getting code 2200 every time you hit a bump and sometimes it does it on its own and and traction light come on and a message saying service anti lock brakes looked on internet and several people having this issue some even paid the dealer to do the repairs and a short time later started doing it again

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.

I have been getting the "service electronic braking system" warning light, and when I brought the vehicle to the dealership for repairs back in November I was told that the parts needed to fix this known issue are backordered for many months. Checked again today and was told probably not available until July at the earliest. Upon researching this issue, I learned that this failure is common to 2017 Ram 2500 trucks. I need to haul some heavy loads with a trailer, and am concerned that this failure of the braking system is putting me at risk for an accident.

HCU and ABS module have failed multiple times. The first time was repaired under warranty, the second failure there is a part backorder and I could not get it replaced. My truck is now out of warranty and the manufacturer is now pushing part availability put to Feb 2024. This is clearly defective equipment but the manufacturer will not address if and will not order recalls and replacement.

I bought the truck new in 2017. in July of 2019 I got a Traction control ABS warning light. I took it to the dealer and they told me that the HCU system needed replaced. They performed the repair under warranty. In July of 2021 I got the same warning and again took the vehicle to the dealer and they told me I had to have the repair performed again. Once again they performed the same repair, after some resistance on their part. Now in Nov of 2023, I am having the same warning light and they will not repair the problem now with out substantial repair cost. I feel like there is some sort of a safety issue going on with this brake system and it needs to be looked into.

I purchased my 2017 Ram 2500 truck new in October of 2017 from Champion Dodge in Gulfport, MS. Since then, I have been experiencing a reoccurring problem with the truck's ABS braking system. I have had the truck in the shop repairs on this ABS system five times since I have owned the truck. The first two repairs were covered under warranty, the next two visits I had to pay for, and the fifth visit, I was told they can't repair the truck and parts would not be available until maybe April of 2024. The trucks ABS braking system warning lights continuously flash and alarm making the truck almost unusable. I am also not sure if the truck is even safe to drive with this system malfunctioning. I feel this has to be a recall or something. I feel that Dodge/Ram should repair this truck at no cost to me. I will try to add all documentation to this submission. Any assistance you can proved me would be appreciated.

Vehicle has about 60,000 miles. Has started intermittent service electronic brake and service abs warning. Noticed alot of information online that this is happening more than a normal rate of failure. I believe where this is being looked into...hoping for a speedy response. Thank You!

The abs module started throwing a code and had to be replaced in 2022 which cost me around 900.00 dollars and the same module has malfunctioned again in 2023. This seems to be a very common problem with 2017 and 2018 ram 2500 trucks. This module should be recalled for parts and labor.

ABS and Traction Control warning. Cruise control will not work either. This started at 25K miles, but the truck was out of warranty because of time. I purchased an ABS Module from Ram and installed it Dec 27, 2023 and I will have to take it to the dealer to program it.

No ABS function. Cruise control inoperative. Codes set for ABS module and ABS pump failure.

my truck has 130,000 miles on it currently. At approximately 37,000 miles the ABS and Stability systems stopped working due to a faulty Hydraulic pump. I paid $800 to have the pump and control module replaced at the dealership. The brakes worked normally for approximately 20,000 miles. Around 60,000 miles the ABS and Stability systems stopped working again with the same fault codes as before. The pump has failed again due to a stuck brush in the motor. repair parts are not available and I've been forced to continue driving my vehicle with reduced braking and handling performance for the last 90,000 miles. The manufacture needs to get it together and produce parts that will not fail and they need to be replaced at their cost.

A Hydraulic Control Unit malfunction resulting in multiple warning lamps flashing on and off intermittently - including the ABS, the EBS, the Traction Control, and the Cruise Control. This is apparently a known issue with this model year truck and is inclusive of a class action lawsuit, yet there has been no recall. This failure results in unpredictable breaking and/or the ability to break and operate, especially in slippery conditions. This replacement repair is estimated at $1,100-1,300 on top of incredible uneasiness to operate the vehicle.

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

This has been going on since May of 2022 Every time I start my truck I get a warning that my ABS is not working and that my electronic braking needs to be serviced. While these lights are active, I have no ABS, traction control, or cruise control. After about 10 to 15 minutes of driving, the warnings go out. The lights sometimes will stay off for twenty to thirty minutes, but normally flash on between off and on at random intervals. I also noticed that I immediately loose ASB and traction control during emergency braking. The lack of ABS has recently caused me to lock up the wheels on wet concrete while towing a camper as a car cut me off to exit the highway. The lock-up caused the trailer to jack-knife, and nearly roll over an embankment. I

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.

Abs lights keep coming on and going off while driving. New abs pump and module. Dealer says just put another one on at 1500 a time or more. Countless other people are having same issue

RAM has 18,000+ REAL miles on odometer when ABS / TRACTION CONTROL warning lights came on. Which means no ABS nor Traction assist. Research tells me this is a VERY common problem on several years of RAM trucks. Parts (like ABS modul ) are nearly impossible to get and many replacements have failed thereafter. This is a serious issue affecting many RAM trucks. This is obviously a design / manufacturing issue with this ABS system. No ABS on vehicles made to safely carry loads is lethality looking for a place to happen. The vehicle has been looked at by multiple mechanics and any obvious issues were not observed. Wiring connections were in pristine condition. This vehicle has never been used off road nor in snow / icy conditions. This is absolutely a safety defect that does not even offer OEM replacement parts and when gotten, those gotten fail again!

ABS Module needs replaced and the part is unavailable. ABS/Traction Control lights are now on all the time. Previously they came on and off and truck made a dinging noise.

Abs and traction control light constantly coming on and off as well as an audible warning . This is causing the traction control to turn off and disable the abs brake function.. code in computer is saying module issue. Known problem on this vehicle model.

ABS breaking failure/warning on an intermittent but ongoing basis. Specifically, repeated failures of anti-lock brake modulator valve that causes ABS system to not function properly. Sometimes the ABS warning light flashes on and off, sometimes it stays on for weeks. RAM knows about the problem with part number 68143491AA. They replaced it for me once on 3/1/2022 at 50,650 miles but put in the exact same failing part. It started to fail again September 2, 2023. I had it diagnosed 11/21/2023 (as soon as I could get it in). It's the exact same issue. These vehicles are hazardous to drive. They have a replacement part now 68143491AB, but they refuse to pay for the repair leaving customers to to afford the expensive repair, drive the vehicles in an unsafe condition, or not use the vehicle at all.

ABS module and HCU. Very hard to stop and kicks off cruise control all of a sudden. It was replaced 1 year ago less than 7000 miles and it went out again

Abs warning lights going crazy kicks cruise control off and traction control and 4x4 stop working Constantly dinging and flashing don’t know if brakes will work or not

ABS brake system

ABS and Traction control warning lights with audible warning repeatedly coming on and then going off. Have no way of knowing when this will happen. It appears to be a common problem with similar vehicles. With poor results from dealer repairs. I am concerned about the safety and reliability of brakes.

Abs and traction Control keeps going off and on showing service brake system.

ABS and HCU module system is defective. ABS and HCU systems randomly shutdown causing loss of ABS braking, traction control and cruise control. Ram dealership has already replaced these twice on my Ram 2500, service dates 12/19 and 6/22. Now it is required a third time with less than 49K miles. The ABS and HCU modules on 2017 Ram 2500 trucks are lemons.

This started in May 2023, warning lights "Service Electronic Braking System", "Service Anti-Lock Brakes". It is an intermittent issue, cannot duplicate. Appears at random, with Cruise control on,, if the issue message appears the cruise control disables. This can go on for several minutes, then all of a sudden stop. Could resume minutes later. Again Random. Don't rely on your anti-lock brakes, not reliable, or vote of confidence. As of today's writing 11/18/23, appears to becoming worse. I believe eventually I will note have a braking system whatsoever. Unfortunately I don't trust my dealer, or any dealer at this point for a consensus.

Abs pump failure intermittent loss of braking system and traction

The ABS module/HCU is faulty just like thousands of others who are reporting this same issue. Tested with an expensive scan tool by a certified mechanic AND the local dodge dealership in Greenwood SC. Dealership doesn't have the parts to fix it and can't tell me when parts will be available. The warning lights on the dash come and go but are on 75% of the time. This is EXTREMELY dangerous because when the lights come on it kicks the cruise control off suddenly. VERY unsafe on the interstate in traffic doing 85MPH. I'm surprised myself or no one else has been killed due to this.

ABS failure

The ABS system on my truck is flashing in and out causing loss of cruise control and possible brake failure. I have researched on line and found that this is an ongoing problem for this year model.

Service Electronic Braking and Service ABS intermittently flashing on and off. Especially during rain or humid climates.

HCU light cone on the dash and code in the ecu. No damage to vehicle to cause this issue. This is a concern that the ABS system will not work when needed. Dealer says there is a lot of issues with this unit.

ABS control module pump/Hydraulic control module. 49000 miles. ABS lights/Service Electronic braking. No parts available for repair. On indefinite back order from Mopar. This problem needs to be solved. Thanks

Problem #1- I had to replace the ABS module and HCU on this truck at about 10k miles. (this was completed under warranty). Then at 50k miles truck was diagnosed with the same problem. I had to pay out of pocket for this repair. I ordered these parts from the dealer in November 2021, and they did not get me in until August 19, 2023. I had to pay ($1152.33). This is very dangerous when it has this error it causes the service sabitrac and service abs pop up on the display nonstop with no way to clear it. It also chimes every time. it is very distracting. while these service lights are on, I had no cruise control or traction control. Problem # 2 Transmission over drive failed. I had to replace transmission and transfer case. This makes for an unsafe vehicle that could leave me stranded on the side of the road. this repair cost me ($7,500). Failed at 67,675 miles. Problem # 3 turbo actuator failed and had to replace at 68,565 miles this cost me ($1750). this is an extended warranty on the 2015 model year pickups. Should be all across the board for all trucks using the same design/parts. In total on just repairs under 70k miles I have been forced to spend ($10,402.33). This truck is not road safe at all and I should be reimbursed for all my money I had to spend. At the bare minimum i should be compensated for all my down time plus repairs.

The abs HCU has failed for the second time. This happened at 37,000 miles and has happened again at 61,000 miles. Factory mopar parts were installed after the first failure. Now parts are unavailable. I have no abs, traction control or cruise control.

The anti-lock and traction control light and service light came on shortly after purchase, this happened while towing a 10,000lb camper in the N. GA mountains. this was a challenging situation with that much weight pushing the truck and the brakes weren't working properly. After getting a code reader, I found out the HCU has been listed as a service problem. You try to find the part and there is a hold on releasing the part because the manufacture is having problems with the updated part, and they don't even offer the original part because of the defect on the original part, (part # 68143491AA) The replacement part is (68143491AB). Thankfully I grew up driving vehicles without modern ABS , If my wife would have been driving, or an inexperienced driver, this could have ended in a very, very bad situation. Why isn't there a safety recall on this vehicle? Why should the consumer have to pay for a KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. just look at the posts on the internet. Even worse, you can't get the part to fix, every dealer that has the part listed says the part will not be released until February, and not until April for the public. ( but the website says they are in stock) You call to verify that the part is on hand and they said not until spring.

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.

I have had Abs alarm going off on my truck for 3 months. The dealerships claim there is a nationwide back order on the ABS pump motor control part to fix the problem . They have told me the first shipment is expected in Feb 2024. This is unacceptable. This is a safety feature that is faulty. Also , unacceptable. Please advise why this is not being addressed and I cannot afford to park my vehicle until February 2024 and even then they claim they don’t know how many will be sent to them on that shipment. I have paid a mechanic on my own to try and clean up the wires and components but this didn’t fix it. What can I do about this?

ABS System failure. I ha e been trying since 10/2022 to get repaired from several dealerships. None in Central Florida ha e been able to get the parts to fix.

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.

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ALARMS GOES ON AND OFF. ONLY STARTED AFTER DODGE PERFORMED THE RECALL

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.

This is an ongoing problem and it appears to be affecting other owners of this vehicle as well. The code is C0020-001. The ABS/Traction control light comes on - a message to service the Anti-Lock braking system comes on - and the cruise control does not work. This happens intermittently sometimes 20 times in a minute, sometimes it's 20 times a day and sometimes I can go 2 or 3 days without it coming on at all. It's very frustrating and unnerving as the cruise control just drops out while you're driving which is not safe. The ABS also does not function with this issue. This issue needs to be addressed. Additionally there is a parts shortage for this repair most obviously because the parts are in short supply with everyone needing to make this repair. There are countless other people who are having this issue besides myself. Please issue a recall. This is not safe.

The ABS and traction control light are coming on and off and malfunctioning with a dinging bell alert. With a message that says service antilock brakes soon. On wet roads the steering seems off and brakes lock up. Very unsafe, The Ram dealer said the parts to fix are under engineering review and not available until February 2024. My truck is a 2017 Ram 2500 with19,850 miles. I bought the truck new

Message reads: Service Antilock Brake System. Traction control and ABS light stay on along with chime. Traction control failure and failure of the antilock braking system.

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

This is the 3rd time since i have got my truck that the abs pump module has gone out on it and the brake pedal feels Spongy and brake is junk and the dealership has replaced it the last 2 times and now its one month after the 2 year warranty for the part waiting to see if they will still cover it or not

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

The ABS Hydraulic Control Unit has failed for the third time and the dealer says parts won't be available until middle of NEXT YEAR! This drastically affects braking performance and negates the safety feature increasing the likelihood of an injury or death from improper braking

I took my truck into Don Franklin Dodge Ram in Somerset, KY for service as I was receiving an audible alert and message on my dash to service my ABS braking system. I was informed that this is a known issue and may become a recall. The $600+ part was ordered, but on back order until around February, 2024. While towing my 30 foot camper a car pulled out in front of me and I had no trailer brakes. It was a terrifying situation. Having to wait until February puts me dead in the water for pulling any of my trailers safely.

ABS failure lamp on. I was told by the dealer that my truck is safe to drive, and the part was going to be 5 months out. Well, I'm only safe until I have to make an emergency braking decision. I've been told I'm not the only one with this problem. I think this should be a recall.

The service ABS light warning comes on frequently. I took it to a local RAM dealer who confirmed. They stated that the code for pump motor general failure needs HCU and ABS module. They also stated that this has been a massive component failure across several years, and that replacement parts cannot even be ordered until March 2024!!! Obviously, if this is as widespread a braking problem across several models and years, Stellantis/Chrysler should do something to correct this widespread issue. People are driving on public roads without operating brake systems.

Code C002001, ABS pump motor control general electrical failure. the ABS and traction control light is on. this issue is very common now . please help

Failure of ABS pump module and ABS electrical connection has taken place and is available for inspection. This failure has caused failure of my ABS system, traction control system as well as my ability to use my trailer brakes when hauling which I have to do on a regular basis which in turn puts all drivers around me in danger as well as myself and any passengers I have while driving. Problem is repeated on a fairly regular basis however I am unable to know when it will or will not occur. It has been looked at by a service center with codes sent to local dealership who stated “those parts are under engineering review and are unable to be ordered through normal procedures” however he stated he would be able to put in a special request to Mopar to get one of the “under review” parts sent to his dealership. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than my local service mechanic. The problem has been associated with alarms, abs lights, traction control lights and multiple messages on my dash board screen hundreds of times while driving long distances.

ABS and Traction Control warnings cycling on and off randomly. Warnings are off only for short periods and are on most of the time. Cruise control is not working when the warnings are on which causes a sudden unexpected drop in speed on the highway when a warning cycle occurs. Two dealers have advised that the unit is faulty in manufacture and design but no replacement parts are currently available. Unfortunately I am unable to replace the vehicle and must continue to drive it without these important safety features.

Electronic braking system warning,antilock braking system warning lights come on intermittently,dinging warning off,on.Talked to dealer last Oct.2022 no recall or parts available,spoke again Sept.2023 and same story,no parts,no recall.Stated that there should be a recall due the number of complaints.I use the truck as it was intended to pull trailers.Problem started at 36,000 miles,currently has 38,000 miles.

abs and tcs lights came on had the truck inspected found out it was a faulty hydraulic control unit causing my abs and traction control to be inop parts were under a engineer review and was told they would be avaible on July 16th 2023 however at that time I called the dealership and then was told it would be February of 2024 before the parts would be released causing me to either drive with no abs for over 7 months or park the truck Wich I need to get back and fourth to work

Abs pump and motor replaced twice once in 2019 and 2021 now faulty again in 2023 there needs to be a recall on these parts.

The ABS light along with the Traction Control light comes on intermittently. Since 2017 I have had this issue twice. The first time the ABS Control Module and pump was changed and fixed the issue for almost two years. It was replaced with OEM parts however the problem has reoccurred. I've had the shop that replaced the first pump check out this problem only to be told the only way to repair it is to replace the pump yet again. I use this vehicle to two a fifth wheel trailer and don't feel safe in it as this could relate to a serious accident causing injury or death. Not to mention the cost involved to me as a consumer. The machinic stated to me that the ABS Pumps for 2017 an 18 where defective.

Abs faults, hey faults, had abs module and hcu replaced 2 times.

Abs light came on and also says service braking electrical system

Electronic braking system and ABS lights intermittently come on and off an throws a code c0020-01 which many dealers say should replace the HCU and ABS modules and research has shown that this if a short-term fix on a fault component. Please hold ram to task.

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.

C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control General Electrical failure (brake, module). Intermittent loss of braking performance.

Abs and traction control lights keep coming on. And the cruise control will not work. Dealer can’t find any codes

I continually get the ABS warning light lilting up on my dashboard screen along with a sway control light. The obvious risk is the failure of the braking system especially on hard braking situations or slippery roads. This risks injury and/or death to myself and any passengers as well as vehicles traveling in my vicinity. This is a well known problem with dealers as well as many owners. The same issue has been identified in newer versions of the same vehicle and been recalled. The issue has been identified as a malfunction with the hydraulic brake control unit and the anti-lock brake system module. This is a problem already known to the manufacturer and is also the subject of a class action lawsuit in California. This safety issue should certainly be resolved by the manufacturer by a recall in an expeditious manner.

ABS and Traction Control lights keeping going off constantly and cruise control can't be used either when this occurs. States this has something to do with the ABS Brake control module. However, there are discontinued parts for this replacement. I travel alot with this vehicle and Tow heavy equipment. This issues NEEDS to be resolved ASAP!!

Keep getting an intermittent ABS failure / check brake system light, which also turns off the cruise control. Ram says may need replacement of hydraulic control unit, but no parts available.

Pulling loaded livestock trailer on interstate at highway speed (65 mph) using cruise control in 2017 Ram 2500 diesel pickup when experienced rapid deceleration as the result of ABS/HCU failure. This rapid deceleration caused vehicles behind me to skid trying to avoid a rear end collision with my vehicle. Confirmed with Ram dealership that ABS/HCU module had failed causing the cruise control to shutoff and that replacement was necessary. The people in my vehicle, the animals in my trailer and others driving on the highway were all put at risk of serious bodily harm or even death as a result of this unit failure.

While driving the trucks ABS and wheel speed sensor warning lights will intermittently alarm. While alarming I do not have ABS or cruise control function.

The service antilock brake system/ service electronic braking system lights began turning on and off intermittently around August of 2022. These would sometimes be prompted or exacerbated by wet driving conditions or bumps, but often just at random while driving. At the beginning of the issue, vehicle had roughly 48,000 miles. After paying for diagnosis, the failed part was deemed to be the ABS pump motor-general electrical failure, code C0020-0 as well as code C006C-9A for stability system component failure. Being RAM dealer-only parts and needing software flashes for installation, this repair costs between $1000 and $2000 USD. This failure leaves these HD trucks without ABS systems (functioning systems are required in many states for vehicle safety inspections). The cherry on top of this situation is the replacement parts are unavailable nation-wide as FCA "switches manufactures". This leaves the ABS inoperable and the trucks completely unsafe with absolutely NO alternative actions. No loaner vehicles offered, no recourse for failing safety inspections, nothing. Many folks use these as business or work trucks, depend on them, and have no choice but to keep driving with the issue as-is. This is a blatant hazard and needs to be corrected as soon as possible.

The indicator lights for abs and traction control appeared, and the driver information panel stated a problem with the abs electronic control. I am uncertain if this will lead to a failure in the braking of my truck. This problem was repaired twice by a Ram dealer; the most recent being on October 4, 2022. I have learned this is an issue that was recalled on the 2019-2020 models, and there is a class action lawsuit in relation to the 2017-2018 models.

Service Electronic Brake system and ABS unavailable lights constantly. Brakes locked up while towing a trailer. This apparently is a known problem that Ram refuses to recall. $1500 to $1800 to fix a known faulty part is unreasonable and is going to make people choose to continue to drive with the warning light on because it is too expensive to repair.

HCU for ABS brake system has now failed for a second time. They can not even supply a part to repair. Now on back order hold til 02/2024. So I have to risk driving with no abs system until then and not certain if it will be extended again. This is a known issue for RAM. They should fix this and put out a recall and reimburse me for time and repairs. I hope no one gets killed for this. Alot of Rams on the road just like me now.

Intermittent ABS/ HCU problems with no solution from the manufacture

I have a 2017 RAM 2500. The abs and traction control light are flashing on and off SEVERAL times each trip. It kicks my cruise off and sometimes stays on. The EVIC display showed Service Antilock Braking System and alternated to Service Electronic Brake System. It would constantly bing and display the ABS light and the Traction Control light. seems a recall should be mandatory for replacement of the 68437098AB Module Anti Lock Brake System and the 68143491AA Control Anti Lock Brake System or whatever is causing this issue. it is a safety issue.

ABS control module failed 3 times in under 39000 miles. First instance was repaired under warranty in 02/2019 with control unit replaced. Second instance was repaired out of warranty in 03/2020. Third instance of failure occurred in 08/2023. Symptom of failure is ABS/TC indicator light repeatedly flashing and warning sound in cabin. The repeated warning makes the vehicle undriveable for any length of time. It is unclear if the ABS is actually functioning as I would not drive in poor traction conditions with this warning. The ABS control module or related wiring in this truck is defective and the repairs implemented by Chrysler/Dodge/RAM do not resolve the problem. Replacing the ABS control unit is a temporary solution as the unit will fail with identical symptoms 1-3 years later.

Ive had issues where by ABS fails and the problem is a faulty hydraulic control unit and abs module. They are a very common issue with 2017 and 2018 model years on the forums I'm on and theyre backordered from so many people trying to fix the issue repeatedly.

Service electronic braking system and service ABS System is intermittently coming on and off with the vehicle every time it is driven.

Abs and traction control lights come on and off after hitting bumps or just randomly. Started in the winter and it would disable 4WD which is not acceptable since this is a plow vehicle. Problem has gotten worse over time with the lights coming on and off multiple times per trip. The problem is available for inspection anytime. Without 4wd in snowy conditions(also rainy withour abs) others are in danger. i have had my mechanic look into it, we have not come up with a solution yet. Not inspected by manufacturer. multiple warning lights on a daily basis, failure is intermittent.

ABS system cuts on and off continuously.

I have 2017 Dodge ram 2500.12/09/19 the anti lock brake system control and hcu module was replaced under warranty. Now august 2023 with 27,900 miles the same problem has occurred with the dealer recommending the ABS control module and HCU be replaced. the parts will not be avaiable until January 2024. If a Abs module failure is not serious what is. A check of the internet shows a tremendous amount of complaints of this issue. there is even a class action lawsuit in California. I have spoken with Ram Care and they dropped my case as soon as they found out the part was backordered until January. I have all the dealer documentaion if needed. Please look into this problem before crashes start occuring.

HCU failure causing abs faults and traction control faults, intermittently. Part required is not available and dealerships Say this is an ongoing issue with these trucks. Just hit 50,000 miles on vehicle, changed front brakes, Rotors and pads as well as the front Wheel Speed Sensors.

The truck’s warning lights indicated failures in the Anti-lock brake system module, HCU module, and cruise control. Truck experience issues such as the loss of anti-lock braking, cruise control, and traction control. These missing features and systems significantly compromise the control and handling of the Ram trucks, particularly in adverse weather conditions like wet or snowy roads, where braking becomes more challenging. Replaced the HCU and Mod once 8-1-2022 already and within 10k miles it has failed again.

While towing with my 2017 RAM 2500 the "Service electronic braking system" and "Service antilock braking system" began to intermittently flash on my gauge cluster/instrument panel. The message and lights would continually flash on and off while driving over various road conditions (rough, smooth, flat, inclines, declines). My families safety (myself, wife and son) was at risk with the potential for a brake or braking system failure while towing our travel trailer, as well as the safety of others on the road around us in the event of our braking system failing. I began doing research on this error message and found the NHTSA investigation and link to report the issue. I am going to speak to my local dealer today 8/24/23 regarding repairs.

My 2017 Ram 2500 Cummins pick-up truck started displaying symptoms of a bad HCU module several months ago, "Service Electronic Braking System" warning message, ABS dash light indicating loss of ABS, and Traction Control Light indicating loss of traction control, as well as kicking the vehicle out of Cruise Control when this set of condition lights are, albeit intermittently illuminated. There are times where these condition light persist for long periods of time from several hours to several days, and then times when these condition lights aren't present and will only intermittently come on and then times when these lights blink/ding on and off constantly for several minutes until it comes to rest in an always on state or an intermittent state. After having the issue confirmed by a third-party reputable mechanic shop AND a RAM Dealership Service department I was told the module is on backorder. Being that it is a safety system I don't trust the "aftermarket parts industry" to provide me with authentic manufacturer trusted equipment. Which leaves me encumbered with the stress and risk of having to operate my vehicle with unreliable ABS, Traction Control, Cruise Control. This is beyond a unique to me issue as there are plenty of well documented cases of RAM 2500-3500 series vehicle with this issue as well as a recall on the 2019 & up series of the same. So why would they not issue the recall for the other trucks with this safety issue? Condition persists at any speed regardless of road and weather conditions, no matter the duration of vehicle operation per trip.

My 2017 Ram 2500 Cummins Mega Cab pick-up truck started displaying symptoms of a bad HCU module several months ago, "Service Electronic Braking System" warning message, ABS dash light indicating loss of ABS, and Traction Control Light indicating loss of traction control, as well as kicking the vehicle out of Cruise Control when this set of condition lights are, albeit intermittently illuminated. There are times where these condition light persist for long periods of time from several hours to several days, and then times when these condition light aren't present and will only intermittently come on and then times when these lights blink/ding on and off constantly for several minutes until it comes to rest in an always on state or an intermittent state. After having the issue confirmed by a third-party reputable mechanic shop AND a RAM Dealership Service department I was told the module is on backorder. Being that it is a safety system I don't trust the "aftermarket parts industry" to provide me with authentic manufacturer trusted equipment. Which leaves me encumbered with the stress and risk of having to operate my vehicle with unreliable ABS, Traction Control, Cruise Control. This is beyond a unique to me issue as there are plenty of well documented cases of RAM 2500-3500 series vehicle with this issue as well as a recall on the 2019 & up series of the same. So why would they not issue the recall for the other trucks with this safety issue? Condition persists at any speed regardless of road and weather conditions, no matter the duration of vehicle operation per trip.

Service antilock braking system and service electric braking system constantly flashes off and on as if there is a short and all I can do apparently (according to the dealer) is replace the module which is Astronomically priced! Apparently there are a lot of people having this issue. As far as the steering it has been loose since the beginning as there is 2½" of play and everyone blames the steering box but I have invested way to much chasing the problem with no luck.

68143491abHYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT 68347098abMODULE. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM Failed and no repair parts for 7 or 8 months

Abs module has failed for the second time in 3 years. Dealership will not pay for it.

ABS Module failed. Lost abs function. Lost traction control and cruise control i also got 2 warning lights in the dash for ABS and traction control. Was confirmed by genes Chrysler Ram of fairbanks AK. First appeared July 24th 2023

72,000 miles on vehicle. Received error messages - service electronic brake system and service abs brake system. The error is intermittent and causes loss of ABS functionality and a potential safety hazard. The repair is to replace the ABS system Module (68437098AB) and the ABS Modulator (68143491AA). This is not a small repair. From reading on the internet, this is component defect and a reoccurring problem on these vehicles, and the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge this as a problem. I am recommending that the NHTSA consider this as a recall.

HCU failure causing abs faults and traction control faults. Part required is not available and dealerships Say this is an ongoing issue with these trucks.

Intermittent alert to "Service Electronic Braking System" and "Service ABS System". Will cycle on and off multiple times in a row 3-4 times per minute. Sometimes will go 30 minutes without alert or will stay illuminated. Research of RAM TSB S2005000004 suggests failure of ABS Hydraulic Control Unit and/or ABS Control Module. Commonly reported issue. When illuminated, cruise control does not work. It appears that anti-spin and stability control are inactive.

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.

First got an Service Antilock Brake System and Stability Control light. A couple days later, lost speedometer and park sense lights came on along with "Service Trailer Brakes", but I haven't had a trailer hooked up to this truck ever.

ABS warning light is on. Vehicle taken to dealer for the issue 10-OCT-2022. Dealer confirmed that the hydraulic control unit had failed. Dealer stated part was on backorder until December 2022. Part did not come in. Dealer stated in May 2023 that part was still on backorder and that Ram was aware of the issue and had it under engineering review. (part number 68143491AB)

ABS and Traction control light come on, code states ABS module general electric failure.

ABS CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT FAILING. REPLACED COMPONENTS IN 2021 AND 2022 AND FAILING AGAIN IN 2023. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THESE UNITS FAIL THEN IT CAUSES LOSS OF ANTILOCK BRAKING AND SPEED CONTROL

I have replaced my right rear ABS wheel speed sensor 2 times and still having issues. Cruise control or 4x4 does not work when abs light is on and with 4x4 not working it can leave you stranded if 4x4 is needed

My truck has intermittently had an abs issue which was uncommon. Now the problem is persistent no abs no traction control it seems my rear brakes are not working at all. I read many articles of the same issue.... and what's worse is it seems they discontinued the part. Currently I am unable to fix the problem without parts. I can't afford another vehicle or I would just trade it in and take the loss. Ram isn't providing any real solutions.

Turn on the truck and the ABS/Traction Control lights are off, drive the truck, and with no consistency, the ABS and traction control come on and off. It does not matter if it is raining/wet or sunny, around a turn or straight the lights turn on and off on their whim. When the lights are on the truck has different braking characteristics than when the lights are off. The truck stops in a longer time frame and the brakes seem as if they have less braking power or are soft compared to them when the lights are off.

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.

ABS, Traction control light came on. Shut down 4wd, parking assist, cruise control. Trucks not braking evenly. Feels like differential is locked

Vehicles ABS and Traction Control lights randomly turn on and off. This has been happening for about three months now.

While driving the light and warning signal for the ABS Brakes and Traction Control go on and off intermittently. Another indicator comes on that says the ABS brakes need servicing. This can happen at almost anytime. If on the highway with cruise control on and the lights come on the cruise drops out and the vehicle slows quickly, hopefully no one has run into the back of the truck, because it happened at 65 mph on Monday. I had the codes checked and it says the pump motor for the ABS is at fault, stored code DTC C0020-01. The ABS pump assembly had to be ordered on March 10, 2020 and was replaced under warranty once already on March 25, 2020, 16015 miles for the same thing, and the part had to be ordered. The vehicle now has 20360 miles on it and it is my understanding that the part is on backorder for quite some time. There must be a problem with the part or they would be in stock at least so it can be ordered. This is a safety concern of mine being the brakes may not work properly and when it shuts off at highway speed with the cruise on, there could be an accident due to the vehicle slowing fairly quick. I would like to be able to drive the truck safely. This truck is unsafe to drive now and it is not covered by warranty. Needs to be a recall, manufacturer needs to look into this situation and fix it.

ABS module and, hydraulic control unit bad at 36,500 miles on vehicle

ABS / electric brake assist turns off and on randomly

I took my 2017 Ram 2500 to my local dodge dealer because my service ABS light has come on. After paying 150.00 for a diagnostic test, they concluded that 2 ABS parts needed to be replaced. My ABS does not work and the parts are backlogged in the supply chain. They said the soonest they could fix it is possibly Jan 2024! On top of the 2000.00 they wanted to charge me. Isn’t this a safety issue and shouldn’t this be a recall?(the service center lasdy actually admitted to me that the current abs sensors are not good and the reason why it is taking so long to get the parts in is due to a lot of people having the same issue. I haul, tow and use my truck alot and I just can’t believe that this isn’t a recall due to safety issues.

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.

Faulty part ABS/ traction control system. These parts have previously failed and been replaced two times over the past 3 years and I am having the same problem again. I was told by the dealer that parts are unavailable and offered no alternatives other than continue driving the truck as is, with a faulty brake system until the part is re-designed and made available again. As the truck is now out of warranty and the timeframe of first replacement is beyond one year, the cost of this repair will now be out of pocket. I am currently across the country trailering a fifth wheel RV along with my family with no other option than to try and make it home with a faulty brake system, obviously putting the lives of my family at risk, then possibly wait months for the part to become available. Apparently this is a known problem with this year and model truck yet NHTSA has not mandated a safety recall? I respectfully request to make a formal complaint and would appreciate A PERSONALIZED RESPONSE explaining how this is possible and what steps are being taken to remedy a situation where drivers are forced to drive vehicles with known faults in brake systems.

2020 - Started experiencing antilock brake light going on/off. May 2020 - Took to Dealer at 13,179 miles. Dealer replaced anti lock brake control under warranty. November 2022 - Took to Dealer at 29,404 miles with same issues that occurred in 2020. Replaced ABS module but issue was not resolved. Dealer said truck needs Hydraulic ABS pump which they do not have. Search of Internet determined that my experience is similar to other owners.

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.

ABS dash light illuminated. "Service Electronic Braking System" message. ABS, Traction Control, and Cruise Control disabled, while driving. Repair shop indicates faulty ABS Module/Control Unit. This part is widely known to be faulty on this year/make/model. Part also extremely backordered and not available for replacement or repair. The replacement part has been redesigned/updated - yet no recall issued for known faulty part.

ABS and Traction control will randomly shut off while driving, increasing the chances of a crash. Additionally, when this happens, cruise control also shuts off abruptly, causing the vehicle to slow suddenly. This has happened hundreds of times, more often when the roads are wet or when it's raining.

ABS Light goes on and off, Traction Control/ABS/Cruise control do not function when the light is on. Dealer diagnosed it as an ABS Module and ABS Hydraulic Control Unit needing replacement. Parts have been backordered for at least 8 months, this makes my truck unsafe to operate.

Having the reported issue with the ABS system where the warning lights will come on and turn off cruise control as well. I pull a 5th wheel travel trailer for work and I rely on these brakes more than most.

My truck’s ABS warning light goes on and off repeatedly when I am driving. When the light comes on, my cruise control is not available. My traction control also does not work. The mechanic says the ABS module needs to be replaced but the part is unavailable. I have called multiple dealers across the country and cannot find one. Apparently this is a widespread problem with this vehicle… We have been researching it.

2017 RAM 2500 has known issue with Antilock Brake Unit Hydraulic Controller - This prevents brakes from operating correctly and traction control / speed control is disabled - Confirmed diagnosis with dealer - Vehicle has current Mopar Vehicle Protection (service plan) but part is unavailable to be ordered - RAM dealer stated vehicle does not pass state safety inspection. RAM Care case submitted. No accidents and 40k miles. This component failure can result in unsafe conditions while driving due to loss of control while stopping or in slippery conditions. Constant alert and lack of speed control can lead to driver fatigue.

ABS and Traction control lights on constantly

Service Electronic brakes and service abs system along with abs light, traction control light and cruise control wont work. First issue happened at 36,000 miles covered under warranty. Vehicle now has 53,000 miles and same issue is back. Vehicle could have brakes abs system fail and cause a wreck. OEM parts are on a long wait list. After reading hours of reports online of many other vehicles and people experiencing same issues Ram needs to issue a recall.

My trucks ABS keeps cutting off, it’s operation is intermittent. This also disables the cruise control and traction control. I have researched this on this year and it’s a problem with many of doges trucks. The dealer has no fix for this safety issue.This is an on going issue that happens every time i drive the vehicle.

Cruise control quit working when towing my trailer with tractor loaded. Service antilock brake system and service electronic brake system messages and lights on dash showed. Would occur intermittently, then became more steady. Took to dealer today, 6/19/2023, and was told no part could be ordered to fix this. Dealer advised they do not have an answer/fix. May have by August 16. Seems a long time to wait for a brake system solution/fix.

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

ABS Braking System Failure. Safety is at risk as the manufacturer has advised to park the truck and not operate. The issue has been confirmed by the dealer and confirmed the risk and also advise to park. Yes warning lights are present on the dash for the problem. The components are currently still in the vehicle and new are not available per the dealer and manufacture.

Service ABS system and Traction Control light and bell comes on intermittently while driving. Well known and documented problem. Many people have reported this and replaced parts with no solution.

My ABS Light is on and Service Electronic Braking System warning is on as well. I have taken it to a repair shop and they have told me that my ABS Hydraulic Control Unit needs to be replaced. This seems to be a problem with this make and model truck and it is an expensive repair.

ABS Light and Anti Lock Break System Alarm and Light constantly goes off. The light an alarm started within one month of purchasing and the vehicle is over $40,000.. every shop that we have taken it to said that it’s something that the manufacture should fix it at some point it’s not safe because it is your antilock brake system. It needs to be fixed and we shouldn’t have to pay the outrageous cost of having this fax one we just purchased a vehicle..

Service electronic brake system/antilock brakes comes on and off with disabling of antilock brakes, cruise control and anti skid while driving.

My 2017 Ram 2500 has the ABS and HCU issues commonly found on these vehicles. To my Suprise the dealer cannot get the part due to how common this issue is the parts are on backorder. I have videos of the system failing while driving and the codes it is throwing. Due to it's tie to the ABS I do not think the truck is safe to operate. I am still making payments so this is a big deal for me. I can't trade it in for a couple of reasons. One of the main ones being I will have to take less money due to this defect. Yes, it has been reproduced by a local service center and I have video of it malfunctioning on the road. Inspected by a local service center but not a dealership yet. The warning lights come on and it "dings" at me.

I am getting intermittent warning lights on my dash indicating that the abs, traction control and cruise control are turned off due to a message reading “service electronic brake system” on the dash. I took my truck to the dealer and was advised that they weren’t sure if the HCU module or ABS module is failing. At any rate, neither of the parts is available from mopar. I have found that there are no recalls thru mopar. Also, a class action lawsuit has been filed in California and Texas

Failed Component(s): Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module P/N 68347098 Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) P/N 68143491 Since I bought the truck new back in July 2017, I've had the ABS Module & HCU Fail on (3) separate occasions, each time it failed unexpectedly in wet conditions. The failure causes the ABS and traction control systems to not function correctly. The 1st time it failed was approximately 1 year of owning the truck(~Aug 2018), I was towing a 5th wheel camper in the western part of North Carolina in the mountains. I had to hit the brakes coming down a grade due to traffic. The brakes unexpectedly locked up, when the module failed, so I left off and eased back into them. Thankfully, there was no accident. The 2nd (~Sept 2020) and 3rd (~Sept 2022) times the Modules failed I was not towing, but they did fail in wet conditions. After each failure, I took my vehicle to a Ram Dealer for them to diagnose and replace the parts and to document the failures. Prior to the failures there were no warnings.

Service electronic brake system warning flashes on the dash multiple times while driving. A code reader indicates failure of the hydraulic control unit. Code is c0020.

ABS light continues to come on after changing my Hydraulic Brake Module several of times.

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.

For the third time I have had a loss of ABS, traction control and cruise control. Almost went off the highway when it was raining and it decided to stop working again. I personally know 3 other ram owners from 2017 and 2018 that this has happened to. Please help this is a major safety issue and ram is not addressing it properly. Ram just replaces the same faulty parts and 2 years later it happens again.

The abs system stops working. The dealership has replaced the abs twice under warranty and now it is doing the same thing the abs light and the traction control light on the dash is on. The vehicle only has 60,000 miles on it and needs it's third abs control module and abs hydraulic pump.

The Service Antilock Braking System warning and Service Traction Control warning illuminate regularly. There are no known problems with the systems but it is unknown if they will work when needed. The lights come on up to one time per second, and sometimes not for days. There are hundreds of people on forums complaining about this, no known fix. Replacing components does not seem to solve the issue. I have video available if needed.

Abs pump and control module built with defective part’s causing pump and module failure which in turn caused break failure

Anti-lock brakes do not work on my 2017 Ram 2500 diesel and haven't for over a year and a half. Light constantly flashes on dash with alarm. I brought it to the dealership, and they said the "Hydraulic Control Unit" is faulty but was told Ram is not even making the part. In Michigan winters, anti-lock brakes are a huge safety issue. My truck is the diesel version weighing in at 7,000 lbs. Trying to stop in the winter is a huge problem. Even if I sell the truck, it's still going to be a problem for whoever buys it. If you Google it, you will find numerous other Ram pickups for 2017 & 2018 with the same problem. I don't understand why brake issues are not a recall.

Truck lost abs, traction control, and cruise control at 34000 miles. On 12/30/19 the truck was repaired. Now at 61000 miles the truck lost its abs, traction control, and cruise control in a winter storm hauling a trailer. The original part has been superseded with a new part both of which are unavailable.This truck is only used to tow a 15000lb camper and a gooseneck equipment trailer. Mopar is unwilling to do anything to rectify this problem which is very unsafe. I was able to locate the part in Nevada but due to Mopars "managed allocation" they would not sell it to someone in Ohio.

Started having abs and traction control issues in early October of 2022. Have had two cases of compleat brake lock up. Took to ram deal for repairs and it was diagnosed as the abs hydraulic unit. When road conditions are icey and slick will have issues with the brakes locking up.

"Service ABS," "Service Electronic Breaking System," and "Traction Control" caution lights illuminate on vehicle during driving. Started with intermittent illumination. Took vehicle to dealer and was told that ABS pump failed, but no parts are available to repair. Service advisor said it was ok to drive, that the brakes will function without ABS system. Brake performance is diminished. There is no pumping sensation when I apply brakes hard.

When driving, the Service Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) light would intermittently cut on and off and would disable the ABS system and Traction Control system. This would happen at any speed. I scheduled an appointment at Pearson Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Richmond, Virginia for 11/22/2022. I was told the ABS Control Module was defective and the part had to be ordered. The dealership advised that this equipment has malfunctioned in many 2017 Ram 2500 trucks and that the part was on back order until late January 2023. They also advised me that if I drove the truck when the light was on I would NOT have anti-lock brakes or traction control. I have called multiple times to inquire about the status of my part order to get the safety issue fixed. I was told in January that the part still wasn’t in and that the timeframe was pushed out to March. I called again today (3/17/2023) and was told the part now was in the process of switching suppliers and that they did not know if or when my part will be available. This is a huge safety issue. My truck has been mostly parked since before Thanksgiving and it’s now almost April. RAM as a manufacturer is creating a large safety issue for anyone with this same issue. I have not been able to get my truck serviced properly with OEM parts due to their negligence. This is a warranty claim and my contract will expire in 2 months and I am not sure if this will be covered once or if the part ever arrives. Please assist in getting this issue resolved. I do a lot of towing and depend on this truck to be safe for me and other drivers and RAM is preventing this from happening. My truck is still mostly parked and cannot be trusted on long trips. My truck is also due for state inspection in June and this warning light will cause my truck to be rejected and then I will not be able to drive it at all.

Second failure of ABS system in 2 years. Error code c0020-1 for failed ABS HCU part number 68143491AB. Replacement parts are currently unavailable from manufacture and has been in the status for nearly 6 months. Service center is unable to restore functionality of brake systems and vehicle has been un-driveable due to ABS safety concerns since October 2022. As stated this is my second failure with same part, first failure was in Sept 2020.

I have dash lights going on and off for the ABS and traction control. This is very intermitted. On two occasions I have experienced times where I had to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. Both times the ABS failed to work causing me to come to near collision with another vehicle. One of the times this caused me to go off into a ditch. This was with slick roads and snow covered in areas. Have also had several times the truck would steer out of control with no traction aid. I am constantly losing speed control using cruise control. It will work for a bit and then turn off when the ABS and traction control lights come on.

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

Left front caliper locked up upon lightly pressing brake pedal and brake pedal pulsing while towing approx 10k lbs. ABS and traction control light were illuminated. C0020 code - ABS Pump motor control. Truck has had 4 other similar issues without locking up caliper yet resulting in replacement of HCU and ABS model. At 58,536 miles truck has been at dealer for 60 days needing 5th replacement of HCU and ABS pump that is not available to order per RAM Customer Care case# 85015233

ABS light and alarm come on and goes off at random intervals. This issue was repaired before on 10/06/2020 and now the issue is reoccurring. The original ABS code on the system was C0020-01 (ABS pump motor control - general failure). The HCU part #68143491AA was replaced and 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 12,000 lb camper and am concerned that if a hard stop occurs the truck could start sliding and cause the truck and the camper to lose control.

Faulty break module. Dash reads service antilock break system, ABS light on in dash, traction control light on as well. Cruise control will not work because of this issue. Intermittent occurrences at first, now constant after 3 years. It has been taken to multiple dealerships, while under warranty with these exact problems. No results! An independent service center diagnosed this issue and has ordered the part. Have been waiting two months now still nothing.

The service abs and anti lock brake light comes on and off. I have talked with 3 different dealers and they all told me the abs module is probably bad . The part is on backorder for the last year, so I can’t get it fixed.

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.

ABS and traction control systems are malfunctioning. Dodge dealer states that the abs module and hcu need to be replaced which both are on back order. Roughly $1500 worth of parts and labor are required to fix issue at my cost. Truck has 80,000 miles currently and problem started about 1000 miles/month ago. Both abs and traction control lights flash on/off constantly.

ABS failure i have taken my truck to the dealership 3 times to have the ABS module replaced due to failure.my truck only has 67,223 miles on it.the ABS lights comeon the dash and Traction control lights as well when this happens.this needs to be investigated and resolved.please help me and so many others with this issue, Thank you.

Truck continuously warns and chimes to "Service Electronic Brake System." Truck no longer has working ABS. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2022/INOA-PE22012-9925.PDF

Around the 1st of October I started to get the Service Electronic Braking System and ABS warning lights on my Ram 2500 so I took it into Rairdon’s in Bellingham, WA on November 8, 2022. (Note- it took me 4 weeks to get an appointment to take it in) I was informed that the HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU) is faulty and to replace it first and if the fault code comes back then replace the ABS module. Never heard back on the HCU part ETA so I called back to the dealership on November 15, 2022 and was told the HCU will now be in January 18, 2023. Once again when I contacted the dealership on January 8, 2023 and I was told the HCU is now pushed out to March 15, 2023. So I have to wait 4 months (if it shows up to the dealership in March) to get a Mopar part to fix my vehicle?

ABS module and hydraulic control units replaced in 2019, after driving the truck less than 20k miles the exact same issues have returned. Truck is out of warranty now, no cruise control, ABS, or traction control. Very common issue amongst 2017-2018 Rams. Second issue happened recently when temps dropped below freezing. DEF system fault - DEF injector checked for crystallization. No crystals - truck will go into limp mode rendering it useless due to an inferior component manufacture is aware of and have addressed on new models but have not afforded older models a solution.

My dash will randomly start flashing the messages "service electronic braking system" and "service antilock brake system". Sometimes this happens as soon as I start the vehicle, other times it happens while driving down the road. Sometimes it seems as if a bump in the road will trigger the messages, others are random. When the messages are there, the traction control feature does not work. I do not know if the abs system will work or not as I have been lucky enough to not have to test that. Also, while the messages are present, the cruise control function will not work.

2017 Ram 2500. ODO 77,000 miles While driving at any speed, warning lights and audible tones intermittently come on. Display reads "Service Electronic Braking System" and "Service ABS". ABS and Traction Control lights also illuminate on the dash. Sometimes the warnings will come on and off so fast that the truck is constantly chiming which is very distracting. Speed doesn't appear to be a factor. Sometimes the warning lights stay illuminated. Sometimes they go away. Sometimes they flash on a off rapidly. Truck has not been taken to the dealership yet but an appointment has been made and the dealer said it is most likely the ABS module and Hydraulic Control Unit that needs to be replaced. This sounds like a known issue. Safety issues I am concerned about are: Loss of ABS and traction control. Trailer braking system issues while towing (horse trailer). Distractions from audible alarm constantly chiming, loss of braking power.

Starting roughly a year from the date of this report, the vehicle would randomly issue a warning "Service Electronic Braking System" and turn on the Traction Control and ABS warning indicators; it would also disable Cruise Control. These errors would appear sporadically and persists for a few seconds to a few minutes. The dealer was unable to diagnose as the error was not actively triggered at the dealership. Over time, the error happened more often and persisted for longer time periods (minutes, hours, then days) but would eventually (and randomly) reset. It became clear that it was oftent triggered by a sharp jolt or a tight turn. Recently the error stayed on permanently and the dealer was able to retrieve an error code which led them to suspect a faulty connector. It took 6 weeks to get the connector and when the dealer attempted to install it they came to the conclusion that both the wiring harness and the connector are OK. They were able to retrieve additional error codes that pointed at the HCU (Hydraulic Control Unit) of the ABS system needing replacement. No HCU units are currently available. I have conducted extensive online research concerning this issue and the four symptoms: 1. "Service Electronic Braking System" message 2. Traction control indicated lit and traction control disabled 3. ABS indicator lit and ABS disabled 4. Cruise Control disabled and found that there are a large number of reports for RAM 1500 and 2500 models with mileage as low as 12,000 miles. This appears to be a wide spread failure of the HCU component that points at a flawed part that causes significant safety issues as it randomly disables both traction control and ABS functionality. RAM simply burdens the consumer with the cost of having to replace the HCU, sometimes multiple times as new units tend to fail again.

Hydraulic Control Unit failure on Ram 2500. This causes antilock brakes to stop working as well as traction control.

The vehicle was purchased new Oct. 2017. On or about 1 Oct 2020 the vehicle had 19,100 miles. The vehicle displayed a constant "ABS Fault" / "Traction Control Fault". This was reported to my local dealer in Panama City, FL. The dealer service dept. worked the current Recalls and the ABS Fault at that time. Service was completed 10/16/2020. The vehicle was still under the basic 36M/36K mile warranty. The dealer reported the replaced part as MOPAR # 68143491AA, brake controller module. The vehicle is not in daily service, so the mileage is low for the age of the vehicle. On or about 1 June 2022, the vehicle had 22,250 miles when the ABS Fault resurfaced. At first it was intermittent, but later the ABS Fault / Traction Control Fault is constantly displayed. The brakes feel and appear to work normal, but I feel they would not work as intended during a hard braking or a skid or on wet pavement. I read dozens of owner blogs, Cummins forums, Ram owners forums, U-Tube, etc. It seems a large number of similar trucks are reported by their owners to have this problem. many owners like me have reported having this problem fixed by the dealer only to have it soon reappear. Many owners that have had this problem repaired also indicated the same part or part number and/or cite the trouble as brake hydraulic controller or a controller module.

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.

Service Electronic Brake System came on while driving. Problem seems to be inconsistent and constantly turns on and off preventing ABS and traction control from working. Braking when the system is not working properly will result in massive feedback from the brake pedal.

See an article that abs failure issues are being reported on 2017-2018 ram 2500-3500. In the process of waiting for an abs hydraulic actuator. Loss of abs and braking

The brakes never have stopping power even with the exhaust brake. It take along time to stop at 30mph and if I'm going above 30 mph I'm afraid I will run into someone ahead of me if they put on their brakes.

Purchased truck used Fall 2021 with only 27k miles. After less than year and about 8k miles. ABS warning lights and sound randomly and erratically became an annoying problem. The cause is a defective Hydraulic Control Unit. Ram truck owners have posted hundreds if not thousands of complaints on the internet regarding this. Anyway, I had to disconnect the fuse for the ABS Module to prevent the annoying, interfering malfunction. The truck brakes safely but there is not the additional safety of the ABS system. The newer version of the Hydraulic Control Unit is not available and backordered until at least the end of January, 2023. Dodge Ram owners of these trucks can't even pay high dealer repair prices because no one has the part. I believe 2019 and newer models have the same problem but Ram has issued a recall for those model years.

ABS and traction control lights flash, ABS and HCU modules have to be replaced

Completed a hard stop, but ABS system did not appear to work correctly. Once stop was completed, had two malfunction lamps and a "service ABS warning". Lights and warning went away once I resumed driving. In a separate incident, I took off from a stop in wet conditions and the traction control system did not appear to be working, vehicle spun the rear tires an abnormal amount. Once this happened, the warning lights and error message returned, but went away upon further driving. I visited the dealer and had them pull the error code and it was "C0020-01-ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL - GENERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE". There is an active technical bulletin stating the issue is with the hydraulic control unit (HCU). It appears to me that this problem disables the antilock brakes as well as the traction control system. The danger here is that the warning lamps and error messages go away, leading one to believe the system is functioning normal when in fact it is not. I was advised by the dealer that the replacement part is unavailable and could be for several months.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 2500. The contact stated while driving approximately 5 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the pedal went to the floor while stopping the vehicle. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,844.

Mileage: 135,844

The brake warning light flashed on and off irregularly. Took to the dealer but was told they couldn't diagnose it since the light was currently off. Months later the light was on when I took it for the annual State safety inspection. Diagnosed the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. It took them a few weeks to get one in but it was finally completed at a cost to me of a little more than $1,000. The service writer told me that they have found this to be a common problem in low mileage Ram 2500s. Currently I have approximately 17,000 miles on my 2500

ABS/traction control intermediately functioned for several weeks. But is now inoperable.

While driving the “Service Electronic Braking System and ABS warning light came on. I had a shop run the diagnostics and the tester confirmed what the lights were showing.

Received code c0020-01 for ABS pump, this is the third time in under 50,000 miles. Complete loss of traction control and ABS braking. It’s a well known issue that dealerships are aware of. There are class action lawsuits about this. Please help.

ABS pump electrical failure, repaired OCT.17/2020 by dealer. 11/20/2022 same problem. ABS light, traction control, and no Trailor brakes, or cruse. not sure what other problems exist.

Service Electronic Brake System and service Antilock Brake system light come on and off intermittently at random times. Some time on and off a few times faster then it can display the message. The Hydraulic Control Unit was replace one already. Reading online there are several 2017 and 2018 rams having this issue.

The ABS control module and the HCU has Failed twice on this truck resulting in loss of traction control, ABS and cruise control. The unit was replaced around 42,000 miles and then failed again at roughly 60,000 miles. Ram will not replace under warranty. the failure causes the abs and traction control light on the dash to come on and off constantly. it also shuts down cruise control. I believe it also causes excessive ware on the rear tires due to the traction control system not working properly. This is a major problem and judging by online repair forums there are many other people experiencing the same issues

This issue was repaired by the dealer one year ago and it has happened again, they tried to charge me by pretending they didnt know about the previous repair. the internet is full with the exact same complaint and how is this not a recall to hold them accountable?? the service electronic brake system and ABS lights come on and off each time making annoying noises. when the lights are on the 4x4, cruise control and other items will not engage. the dealer agreed to repair it but told me to call in 5 months to see IFFFF any parts are available this not only shows its a wide spread problem but their incompetency to fix it. how do I know the second module they replace wont malfunction as well???

Under normal driving conditions I got the “SERVICE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM” message along with an ABS light, traction control light, loss of traction control, loss of cruise control functions and loss of 4x4 functions. This is a well known safety issue that needs to be addressed by the manufacturer. With ABS being a SAFETY feature required on all vehicles, it is only appropriate that this become a safety recall.

Service ABS system and service electronic braking system waring lights keep coming on. Throwing code C0020-0. Brake hydraulic control unit is bad. This is a common problem and should be recalled.

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.

I am receiving two messages: Service Electronic Braking System and Service Antilock Braking System. The cruise control and trailer braking system will not operate under this condition. I tow a 5th wheel trailer. This is a common problem on Ram trucks. The local dealer has quoted me between $1000 and $1600 for the repair. I have a friend who had the problem at 36,000 miles. Ram had made a change to both parts causing this problem (part numbers 68143491AB and 68347098AB) Why are customers having to pay for an obvious design flaw? I was told there is no plan for a recall at this time.

During a routine tire rotation, the service technician advised me that the brake calipers appeared to be swelling when heating up and were cutting grooves into the wheels. He proceeded to show me the damage and indicated that this could result in a catastrophic event if not corrected. I immediately took the vehicle to the dealership and informed them of the issue. It was looked at and agreed that was the problem. I was advised to contact the manufacturer to start a claim. So far, that is of no benefit. They are basically telling me that until a catastrophic event occurs, there is nothing they will do. I am still trying to get them to cover it. These are all factory parts and I am the sole owner of the vehicle.

At 30,076 miles, I began to receive 2 warning notifications in the truck’s instrument panel: “Service Electronic Braking System” and an amber ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) warning light. Both warnings include a loud audible warming when they illuminate, appear when driving the truck, but seem completely random in nature. Either or both notifications illuminate and the warning lights stay on for as little as a few seconds to as long as a minute. The frequency of the audible and visual warning lights is also random. On some driving trips, they may appear up to 6-7 times each minute. On other trips they may occur 2-3 times over several miles/minutes. driving/stopping on wet pavement could be problematic because the ABS, Cruise control, and built-in trailer brake controller ALL stop working when the warning lights come on. If hauling a very heavy trailer, and the trailer brake controller fails, then this could cause a fatal condition for not only the driver of the truck, but all those in the vicinity should a sudden slow down or stop be needed.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 2500. The contact stated that the brake warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle had to be repaired out of pocket. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Mileage: 50,000

At 13,000 miles, I began to receive 2 warning notifications in the truck’s instrument panel: “Service Electronic Braking System” and an amber ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) warning light. Both warnings include an audible “dinging sound” when they illuminate, appear when driving the truck, but are completely random in nature. Either or both notifications illuminate and the warning lights can stay on for as little as afew seconds to as long as a minute. The frequency of the audible and visual warning lights is also incredibly random. On some driving trips, they may appear up to 6-7 times each hour. On other driving trips they may happen 2-3 times over several miles/hours. Some trips there are no warnings in an hour’s time. I took my truck to a trusted repair facility and was told that the 2 parts leading to the warnings (HSU-Hydraulic Unit and ABS Module) should not need replacement until 50,000-60,000 miles, so the warning lights were reset. He also informed me that this has been a known issue by Ram per an internet search, yet no recalls have been issued to date. Since I tow a trailer, I asked about the safety of not replacing the 2 parts and was told that driving/stopping on wet pavement could be problematic if the parts were not replaced. The warning lights issue persisted despite the resets, so I took the truck to a Ram dealership service center. They confirmed that no safety recall were issued to address this problem and I was quoted $1,500.00 for them to replace the 2 parts. I can provide that paperwork, if needed. My own internet search of Ram Forums confirmed what my repair facility found as well. It appears there has been widespread complaints from other Ram owners since at least 2014 and many are at a loss as to why Ram refuses to address the problem. Many had the repairs done out of sheer frustration with hearing repeated audible “dinging sounds” while driving, plus out of concern for their personal safety.

The truck had this issue at 7800 miles when I purchased it and now at 33000 miles I have it diagnosed. The ABS control module and hydraulic control module have failed which causes the ABS to not work. This has caused the tires to skid during hard braking or winter weather. Luckily, I am aware of this issue and can anticipate braking needs and adjust accordingly.

The service electronic braking system message came on and the traction control icon also illuminated while descending a steep grade while towing my 14’ livestock trailer. Noticed the trucks factory trailer brake controller stopped working when the traction control light came on. It’s not a good feeling coming down a mountain road with cattle in the trailer and all of a sudden no trailer brakes. Got it slowed down and pulled over. Turned the truck off and when I started it back up the icon was gone and trailer brake was functioning normally. This has occurred twice now while towing. This could lead to a serious accident involving others on the road and not to mention my livestock.

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. .

It seems that there is a failure problem with a ABS component on these trucks. I have already replace the hydraulic control unit once on my truck at about 27,000 miles and now I am experiencing the same problem again at about 45,500 miles. The ABS and traction control warning lights have come on again indicating a problem. It will flash service anti-lock braking system and service electronic braking system but never really stays on all the time, these lights also will cause the cruise control to shut off. Usually only comes on while driving on bumpy roads, but will come on and go off a very excessive amount while driving. This seems to be a problem with a lot of people with this truck as I have seen from my research into the problem and I think the Ram needs to address the issue with a recall and not make people pay $600-$800 to have the vehicle serviced to fix the issue that I'm having for the second time!

My 2017 Ram 2500 diesel pickup truck has a failure code of C0020-01 - ABS Pump Motor Control General Electrical Failure. This is for the antilock brakes. I had an outside repair shop check the code with a scan tool along with a Ram dealership. The warning light & alarm goes on and off non stop when driving or even sitting still (very annoying) which also means my antilock brakes are not working. In Michigan, that is a very helpful safety feature when driving on snow and ice. I have contacted the factory Ram customer service number 4 times now and all I'm told is it is out of warranty. I could see that if the truck had, say 100,000 miles on it, but it only has 22,000 miles on it and the antilock brakes need to be worked on already? I'm not asking for new brake pads here. This is a safety issue and Ram Trucks should be forced into a recall about it. I am not the only one. Google it and you will find many, and I mean many trucks having the same issue and many comment, why isn't there a recall on such a safety item as antilock brakes. When talking to the service rep, he said they don't have the parts in stock and they do not have an ETA when any will be available. Makes me wonder if so many others are buying them, they cannot get enough to keep up with demand. We all want safer roads. So I ask, why do we have auto manufacturers install antilock brake systems on new vehicles and then not stand behind them? I realize my truck is out of warranty, but 22,000 miles on my truck and I need serious brake work already? Unexcusable Ram!

I have a C0020-01(ABS pump motor control general electrical failure) code on my 2017 Ram 2500 truck with only 43,xxx miles. This code and mechanical issue was identified/confirmed by a Ram dealership. The ABS/traction control warning light started intermittently turning on, and then off about 1,000 miles ago and has continued until now. With this issue, the ABS/traction controls do not work on the vehicle. This alone puts myself, my family’s, and other people’s lives at risk. This is a very well documented and well known safety issue on these Ram trucks. Any simple internet search will show that this is true. Even the Ram Service Representative said that these trucks should be recalled because of this safety issue. There should absolutely be a recall because it is a direct safety issue that involves so many of these Ram trucks. With an extremely common faulty ABS/traction control issue such as this, people’s lives are at risk. I believe that I shouldn’t have to pay Ram over 1,000 dollars to have this safety issue fixed, but I will because it will be to keep my family safe by having a functioning ABS and traction control system on my truck.

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.

ABS malfunction indicator lamp, service ABS system and service electronic braking system message intermittently coming on. Sometimes for a short period of time and sometimes stay on for entire trip. Causes cruise control and traction control to be immobilized. My safety is at risk due to the ABS and traction control not being functional. I have not had it diagnosed by a dealer yet, however there are hundreds if not thousands of people on Ram forums complaining of the same issues without Ram taking care of the fix and the costs are on the vehicle owners. Its not something like a radio is having issues, its the braking system, which I would think that RAM or FCA and the NHTSA would think is a pretty serious problem with these vehicles.

SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM AND ABS WARNINGS, BOTH VISIBLE AND AUDIBLE. THE EFFECT OF THE MODULE FAILURE ON BRAKES AND SAFETY IS UNKNOWN. THE WARNINGS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, WHEN STARTING VEHICLE, OR WHEN DRIVING. SOMETIMES THE WARNINGS SUBSIDE BUT SEEM TO BE TRIGGERED EASILY BY HITTING A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD WHILE MOVING. Currently Dealer can not fix as the part is backordered. (Sept 2021)

The Hydraulic Control Unit and the Anti-lock brake module on my 2017 Ram 2500 Diesel truck is going out. It has 84,000 miles on this truck. This is very costly to repair and Ram knows it is a problem! It is also very dangerous for the brakes to be an issue on any vehicle, but especially on one that has a heavy front end as diesel trucks do. The braking system must be reliable to stop the truck itself. This truck was built and designed to pull trailers and as a work truck. It is very dangerous to consider that these 2 components are not working when pulling a loaded trailer which depends on the braking system as well to stop the vehicle. I am also enclosing several websites to show you that Ram knows there is a problem but hasn't issued a recall on the problem. One of these sites is a Ram forum that shows many people are dealing with this issue. https://www.ramforumz.com/threads/abs-hcu-replacement.276340/ https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/forums/3rd-generation-ram-non-drivetrain-all-years-101/abs-cab-hcu-replacement-218820/ Thank you for your time!

AFTER APPROXIMATELY 8K MILES MY 2017 RAM 2500 INTERMITTENTLY HAD THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATE. AT FIRST IT WOULD ONLY TEMPORARILY FLICKER AND CHIME, BVENTUALLY THE CODE/LIGHTS REMAINED IN THE SYSTEM. WHEN THIS OCCURS CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT AVAILABLE. I'M NOT SURE IF THE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS OPERATE. AFTER MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP THE ISSUE WAS LOCATED AND THE ABS MODULE AND HYDRAULIC MOTOR CONTROL WERE REPLACED. EVERYTHING HAS OPERATED PROPERLY UNTIL THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS, WHICH IS 2 YEARS AND 3 MONTHS LATER, WITH 19.8K MILES. AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK AND LETTING OFF THE BRAKE THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS FLASHED AND THEN IT DIDN'T REOCCUR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THEN AS TIME WENT ON AND BUMPIER ROADS WERE ENCOUNTERED IT WOULD HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES PER MINUTE. THIS FELT EXACTLY LIKE WHAT I HAD EXPERIENCED PREVIOUSLY. THEN IT WAS BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CODE WAS TRACED TO C0020 - ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL - GENERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. SO AGAIN, THE ABS MODULE AND HYDRAULIC MOTOR CONTROL NEEDED REPLACEMENT. AFTER A HANDFUL OF MILES THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL.

MY 2017 RAM 2500 HAD 55K MILES WHEN I GOT A DASHBOARD WARNING INDICATING THAT SERVICE OF MY ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NEEDED. I ALSO GOT WARNING INDICATORS FOR ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. I HAD POOR BRAKING, NO TRACTION CONTROL AND NO CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THESE WARNING LIGHTS WERE LIT. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU), COSTING ME $750. MY RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AT VARIOUS LEVELS OF MILEAGE, AND RAM/FCA HAS RESTRICTED THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE HCUS IN RECOGNITION OF THIS PROBLEM. RAM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT. I'VE OWNED MANY OTHER BRANDS OF VEHICLES (BMW, TOYOTA, HONDA), WITH VARYING LEVELS OF MILEAGE, AND NONE OF THEM HAVE EVERY EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN ABS COMPONENTS. RAM/FCA SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THESE COMPONENTS HAVE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND REIMBURSE CLIENTS WHO PAID TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED.

RAM HAS SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. A COMPUTER HAS FAILED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY RAM. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM IN THESE TRUCKS OR IF FAULTY PARTS WERE PLACED ON MINE. I WANT THIS ISSUE DULY NOTED. THE FAILED PARTS ARE THE ABS MODULE AND THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. RAM HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS IS MY PROBLEM WHEN IT IS IN FACT THEIR PROBLEM WHICH THEY WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF.
