A few weeks ago I was traveling on unfamiliar curvy roads. It had recently rained. I fishtailed going through the curve, and my breaks locked up. Not long after I had the famous “Christmas Tree Lights” on my dash which are the ABS, Break, and FCW. Went to Advance Auto Parts to check code, and it was C2200-49. Took to dealership and paid $200+ to learn the same. They quoted $1955 alone for the ABS Control Module because the part was discontinued by Mopar in 2025. Took to an independent shop for a recheck, and they confirmed they could not fix it because they couldn’t guarantee an added part would work since they were discontinued. I haven’t driven the vehicle for a month, and I’m wary of buying a remanufactured part on eBay. I researched and found the code is a processor failure pandemic on 2011-2014 models, and there was a massive national level backorder even before the part was discontinued. Mopar & Dodge need to make this right with a safety recall. My research shows it is unsafe to drive! Please help!! A recall was issued for Dodge Ram Trucks! 2013 Dodge Charger SXT with adaptive cruise control should be added. Thank you for your time!

What owners say
ABS module needs to be replaced and they stopped making the part. Lights are on all the time with no cruise control and the advanced brake system no longer works. Nobody has the part. They do not make it anymore.
The ABS module has malfunctioned which affects the cruise control, most of the dash controls on the steering wheel and has several lights on the dash that stay lit. The Dodge dealer is aware of this and states that right now there is no fix from Dodge. I'm putting an estimate date below due to ongoing issue.
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "Service Transmission" displayed, with a grinding sound coming from the transmission. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was taken to the local auto parts store and the message "Lost Communication with ECM and PCM" was displayed. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure. Additionally, the cruise control was inoperable, and the ABS warning light remained illuminated while operating the vehicle. The cause of the failures were not yet determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 33,665.
The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH in the rain, the windshield wipers inadvertently increased speed and the cruise control accelerated the vehicle to over 100 MPH. The contact stated that the electronic braking system and power steering failed. The contact then pulled the neutral override feature to stop the vehicle. The contact then restarted the vehicle and proceeded to his destination. There were numerous unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who was unable to diagnose and determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,500.
When I bought the car all brake lights were on. I took it to Landers and they diagnosed the problem as a bad ABS control module and another part connected to it. I'm unable to use cruise control and my traction control is off as well. The warning lights will occasionally go off but they are usually on. Also the manufacturer has discontinued the parts I need so I can't get them to fix the issues.
Head lights flicker on and off while driving at night, also cruise control flickers on and off and sometimes needs to be shut off manually. Also Dash lights and fan and radio Flickers on and off!
All of my steering column components quit working, I have no turn signals, wipers, brights, cruise control, horn or power mirrors. Now the taillights illuminate only when they want to but brake lights work. I was stopped and informed that I had no rear lighting at all and that is was very unsafe. I've spent a lot of money replacing parts but nothing is getting fixed not too mention the safety aspect of it all with no turn signals or windshield wipers and the taillights or running lights not working unless I unhook the brake light switch which I also replaced. The airbag light comes on here and there as well. I believe it's the tipm but I need something done about this. It's been months since I've been able to drive the car and having everything working properly. I also take care of my vehicles and keep up on routine maintenance.
Adaptive cruise control and forward crash warning and ABS braking along with adaptive electric eye failure. In motion failure. Adaptive eye replaced a little over a year ago failed again.
My stability control light came on the same day I went up a steep driveway. It has happened before as my tires slipped on some sand but the light turned right off. This time it has stayed on and it was diagnosed as the multi-axis acceleration sensor (aka dynamic sensor) internal failure. Firestone had never heard of this part going out nor has my mechanic. I am hoping something is wrong and this part gets recalled as I do believe the steep driveway caused this issue which should not happen. I am able to still drive my car but the cruise control is now disabled as the car thinks the car can be unstable/unsafe in cruise control mode.
