ABS MODULE failure. Computer chip on back order. Dangerous

Filed Oct 6, 2026 · Brakes · GA

The ABS Control Module (p/n: 68228991AD) failing and not able to locate any new replacement parts. The failed module results in loss of traction control, electronic slip protection, loss of cruise control, as well as issues with my 4wd, and most importantly no Anti-Lock brakes. Occasionally i will get a no start issue stating "CAN BUS FAIL" resulting from the ABS module. If I unplug the module and re-seat it, the can-bus issue goes away. Luckily it has not resulted in a crash, however I am scared it will as I drive 115 miles daily for work. I have reached out to ATE (the manufacturer) they were not able to assist in the issue. According to Dodge that particular ABS module has been in "engineering review/discontinued" since 2020. Which would make the truck have only been 6 years old at the time it happened. I have been searching for a replacement for almost 3.5 years now but they do not seem to exist.

Subject: Safety Defect – 2015 Ram 1500 – ABS Module Failure, Part Discontinued, No Recall Vehicle: 2015 Ram 1500, 5.7L VIN: [XXX] Mileage: 65000 Date of failure: May 2022 I am writing to report a safety-related defect on my 2015 Ram 1500 and to formally request corrective action. Description of the problem: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module (Mopar part number 68228991AD) on my vehicle has failed. As a result, the ABS and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems are completely inoperative, as indicated by persistent warning lights on the instrument cluster. This significantly compromises the vehicle's braking and stability performance, particularly in wet or emergency conditions, and renders the vehicle non-compliant with federal safety standards (FMVSS 135 – Anti-lock Braking Systems). Part unavailability: The required replacement module (68228991AD) or 68228991AE , is discontinued or in backorder for years and is currently in an "engineering hold" status at the factory. Dealerships are unable to order or procure the part. There is no estimated time of availability, no interim repair procedure, and no software workaround. The vehicle is non-operable and poses a heightened risk of loss of control during emergency braking. I have incurred [rental car / towing / transportation] costs of approximately $5000.00. Request: I request that this complaint be logged as a safety concern under the federal safety agency's jurisdiction. I request that Stellantis provide a replacement ABS module at no cost to the owner, or issue a formal service action / safety recall for this defect. I request reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred while the vehicle is in an unsafe condition. I request a written response with a resolution timeline within 30 days.

ABS control module “A” has failed internally. Vehicle went into limp mode and is inoperable due to this issue. I’ve eliminated other possibilities as to the cause and have narrowed it down to the ABS control module. ABS light, traction control, brake, electronic throttle control, and service shifter lights are all activated and activated at the time that the issue began.
