My ABS, Traction Control, and Brake light came on. Having my vehicle scanned at a couple of shops, the error message is C2200-49 which is tied to the Anti-Lock Brake System Module - Internal Electronic Failure. Retailers like Autozone, Advance Autoparts, nor O'Riellys do not have the part. I've researched it and it's not just my vehicle. There are a ton of people who are having this same issue. I've shopped multiple online retailers; many say they have it until you order it. Then you get a message stating that the ordered part has been discontinued or is backordered with no eta by the manufacturer. I've even tried having the part refurbished with no luck. It seems that Mopar has stopped making the part and there is no timeline for replacement or fix.
2016 Ram 1500 brakes complaints
Page 5 of 11: complaints 101 to 130 of 288, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My ABS brake module has failed with warning lights just appearing this month (9/19/25) and I took it to the local RAM Dealer for confirmation of the problem on (09/30/25) and the Ram/Stellantis dealer told me the part is not available anymore, the internet research confirms Stellantis stopped producing the necessary module for my year truck. My truck is paid off and the dealer (Naples Dodge) told me my options was to trade it in to them for a new vehicle offering me only 8000 dollars for my truck. Then they charged me a diagnostic fee for a repair issue they cannot even fix, this seems like a manufactured problem to force customers of older trucks to upgrade to a more expensive vehicle. I only have basic brake systems now, no ABS obviously a safety risk.
ABS Module failure. Cannot be repair due to discontinued part.
Anti Lock/skid brake module doesn't work, anti lock, anti skid, & Brake warning lights are all on. Service repairman informed me Ram stopped making repair parts for this. Problem is constant and has caused locked brakes, skid and a near collision. Warning lights on continuous. What am I supposed to do about this? I have a $20,000 vehicle unsafe to drive and can't repair.
Traction control light, brake light and abs light all on. Has been burning my 3rd light bulb and dash speedometer goes blank sometimes when driving. Also feels like brakes are engaged while driving sometimes. Check engine light come on and off sometimes. I was told it was The ABS CONTROL MODULE BY DODGE DEALER SHIP. ALSO TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT SOMETIMES. Have to turn vehicle off to reset. But sometimes it takes several of times to reset.
ABS Control Module is bad so ABS no longer functions. This has been confirmed my a mechanic. ABS light, Traction control light and BRAKE light on dashboard are all on. Replacement part is no longer manufactured so it can not be repaired.
The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the ABS warning light illuminated. In addition, while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The messages, Service Electronic Braking system, Service ABS, Service Trailer Braking system, were displayed. The ABS light disengaged the electronic traction control, and the cruise control failed to operate as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the ABS module failed to function as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 114,593.
This is the third complaint I have filed. Now the steering is stiff and makes noise. A mechanic advised that the issue is the ABS module. Dealers still say the ABS module is still unavailable. the federal safety agency needs to order a recall based on uncertain dependability of steering. Owners are presuming that trucks with faulty modules are safe to operate until NHTSB orders a recall.
Brakes. Abs and traction control Brakes can fail Kindle dodge had truck for over a month cannot obtain part Abs and traction control lites appeared on driver information center
The ABS module has failed on my 2016 RAM 1500, which has disabled the ABS and the traction control system. This is a serious safety hazard because the vehicle now has no anti-lock braking or stability control, creating dangerous conditions in wet or emergency braking situations. •Component/System Failed: The ABS control module has malfunctioned. The part is still installed on my truck because I need it in place to drive the vehicle to work, but it can be made available for inspection if required. •Safety Risk: The failure disables both ABS and traction control, greatly increasing the risk of loss of control and extended stopping distances in wet, slippery, or emergency conditions. This creates a direct safety risk to both myself and others on the road. •Dealer Confirmation: I contacted 4 Ram dealer who confirmed that no replacement parts have taken as long as 6 months to obtain and that they do not know when or if or when additional parts will become available. The fault has been verified with an ABS diagnostic fault code and I have confirmed this is a common failure as almost 500 parts are awaiting delivery in the US. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives, but the failure is documented. •Warning Lights/Symptoms: The ABS warning lamp, traction control light, and brake system light are all illuminated on the dashboard. These first appeared at the time of the failure and remain constantly lit. The OEM (Stellantis/FCA) is not offering a new replacement ABS module. Multiple rebuild companies have told me they cannot repair this unit because the required electronic parts are unavailable. This situation leaves owners without a safe or affordable path to restore critical safety systems. Despite being a known issue, there is no recall or service campaign from the manufacturer. the federal safety agency should investigate these ABS module failures on Ram
I own a 2016 RAM 1500 Tradesman (VIN: [XXX] ). My vehicle requires a replacement for the ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) module. This is a critical safety component directly tied to braking and safe vehicle operation. The problem is that Stellantis (RAM) is not producing or supplying new replacement ABS modules, and my dealer has informed me that there are currently over 390 modules on backorder nationwide with no estimated date of availability. This situation effectively makes my truck unsafe and unrepairable. I am being forced into an impossible position: either continue driving without a functioning ABS (a major safety risk), park the truck indefinitely, or purchase another vehicle. I believe Stellantis should be required to provide a remedy by manufacturing replacement ABS modules or providing a safe alternative repair. Leaving hundreds of vehicles without access to a functioning ABS system is unacceptable from both a safety and consumer-protection standpoint.

Anti-lock brake module is bad
I own a 2016 Ram 1500. The ABS control module has failed, which has completely disabled both the ABS system and the traction control system. This is a serious safety hazard because the vehicle now has no anti-lock braking or stability control, creating dangerous conditions in wet or emergency braking situations. •Component/System Failed: The ABS control module has malfunctioned. The part is still installed on my truck because I need it in place to drive the vehicle to work, but it can be made available for inspection if required. •Safety Risk: The failure disables both ABS and traction control, greatly increasing the risk of loss of control and extended stopping distances in wet, slippery, or emergency conditions.

ABS module failure. Part has not been available for at least 2 years when the failure occurred for this truck. Local repair shops and Dodge dealers are having difficulty in getting the part. the federal safety agency needs to start pressuring Dodge to get this resolved.
The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the message "Check Brakes" was displayed, and the ABS and traction control warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the dealer determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced; however, the part had not been available for eight months. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
Antilock brake system module failure. The system controls the anti-locking brake system as well as vehicle stability control, both federally mandated for this year vehicle. The ABS, stability control, and brake lights are illuminated on the dash. The message “service antilock brake system” is displayed on the message center as well as “service electronic braking system” The part is not available for inspection at this time as it is still on the vehicle and cannot be removed without causing complete failure of the braking system. The vehicle is still being driven as there is no other option at this time. Failure of the system puts anyone operating the vehicle in danger due to the ABS & Stability systems being inoperable. Failure confirmed by independent auto repair technician. ABS system reset and re-initialize without resolution of the issue. The part has not been inspected by the dealership who did not wish to inspect it as it was known issue. No accidents involved with my vehicle due to this as yet. The system failed in November 2023. I contacting the Ram dealer to replace the part and I was informed there were no modules available because it was on “Engineering Hold”. This was explained that the part had to be redesigned due to a continuous failure/problem. I was told it would be available in March 2024. Re-contacted the dealership in March 2024 and was advised it would not be until after June or July. The Part became available sometime after August 2024. However, due to the backlog of vehicles the dealership had to repair, none were available clear into 2025. As I understand, this is a widespread problem that has affected 10’s to 100’s of thousands of vehicles. Part numbers 68295368AA & 68295368AB with the redesigned part being 68295368AC. I also understand that this part has failed on the Durango, Charger, and Challenger vehicles as well.
I was involved in a crash that resulted in a fatality on [XXX]. My truck was towed to Five Star Collision Center in Hurst, TX. The repairs were made to the body of my truck. I picked up the truck and ABS warning lights came on. I called Fove Star Collision Center and spoke to my point of contact- Nathan Hultquist. Nathan advised that I should drive the truck back immediately. I took the truck my to Nathan. He advised that I should drive the truck to the closest Dodge dealership. I did so. My ABS Module is out on my 2016 Ram.The warning lamps came on- service brake system, service trailer brake, ABS light stayed illuminated. This appeared 150 days ago. It has been at Grapevine Dodge for over 150 days. It is in limp mode and has been declared unsafe to drive. I have been in communication with Stellantis/MOPAR for the 150 days. There is no resolution. They claim there is no material to manufacture the part? It appears to be made of plastic? I feel that this is a safety concern due to the fact that if the brakes are applied in an emergency situation, the ABS fails and the brakes lock up. The truck can go into limp mode which is at 35 MPH. On a state highway, moving at that speed- that is NOT safe. There are plenty of these trucks out on the road that could have this same problem and cause serious accidents including a death. I ask for your assistance in this matter.

ABS Control Module is throwing a code. I have spoke with my mechanic and countless others along with representatives of Mopar/Chrysler and this ABS Control Module has been on back order know for 2 years that I know of. From research I have done the part has been on back order longer than that. In my research I have also found that Mopar/Chrysler does not seem to be manufacturing this part anymore. This issue is effecting 100s if not 1000s of people who have spent a lot of money on these pickups and Mopar/Chrysler could seem to care less about it. 2 years of being on back order is absolutely ridicuous.
This vehicle has a faulty ABS module that Ram doesn't make the part for. The part 68292756AA been shown on backorder for over 1yr. After chatting with a Ram customer service agent I found out this part has been discontinued and was advised that I try an aftermarket part. Guess what ? The aftermarket part is not compatible with the program download. 😡This is unacceptable. There seems there is forums after forums with people in the same predicament. This issue really needs to be investigated .
ABS Module is failing preventing other systems to work properly (cruise control). This part has been on order since February. The service technician said there are people who have been waiting on this part for over a year and a half. Looking on line this is a problem of enormous proportions on multiple model years. If this part is not available to make this repair, it leaves us with a dangerous braking problem which can effect multiple other functions of our vehicles. If Stellantis knows this part is such a needed safety module, what can be done so owners can have their vehicles repaired?
My ABS light, Brake light and traction control light come on intermittently. Had it tested and they say that the ABS Module has internal failure. It came up with warning code C2200-49 when tested.
The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that whenever the vehicle was started, the ABS warning light remained illuminated. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was constantly illuminated and while the ABS light was illuminated, the cruise control was inoperable. The contact stated that the part was no longer being manufactured. The contact provided the ABS module part number as, PN: 68295368AA. Additionally, whenever the parking brake was set, the parking brake stayed on constantly. The contact stated that the regular braking system was operational while the vehicle was driven and worked as needed; however, the ABS was no longer available while driving and posed a grave safety risk in the event that the vehicle needed to make an abrupt stop. The contact stated that several Parts Stores and Mopar dealers were contacted; however, the contact was informed that the part was no longer being manufactured. The local Auto Zone also checked the vehicle and confirmed the ABS failure. The local dealer also diagnosed the vehicle with ABS failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle, and the ABS warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, and the brake pedal pulsated while being depressed. The ABS warning light illuminated, along with several other warning lights.

The Antilock Braking System module has failed, rendering the ABS system inoperative as well as prohibiting cruise control. The Sulphur Springs Ram Dealership has been very nice, but are telling me that the replacement module is unavailable and has no estimate time of arrival????
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module on this vehicle has failed, causing the following: Complete loss of ABS braking Loss of traction control Inoperable speedometer Warning lights for ABS, brake, and traction systems
The ABS module is malfunctioning; it is an internal electronic fault that has been diagnosed by the dealership. This is leading to a lack of cruise control, excessive drain on the battery resulting in constant recharging, and a red brake light to be illuminated, which results in immediate failed inspection of the vehicle in Virginia. There is an existing recall on 2019 and 2021-2024 Dodge Rams; however, there is a national shortage of the part and dealerships will not install used modules. Currently there is no solution offered by Dodge other than to continue charging the battery and to pay approximately $700 for the part that has been "Under Review" for at least 8 months. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership which has stated over 160 people have requested the part be ordered at this one location. Their recommendation was to disconnect the battery every night. This is not a solution.
ABS light came on a long time ago and I have been unable to get it repaired due to availability of the part and demand due to so many owners having an issue with this ABS module failing. This is not a wear and tear part, this module should not have failed when it did. I see there have been recalls on other Ram trucks and 2016 has been left out. This issues is present for so many owners and is a safety issue.
Abs internal system failure. Abs light illuminated, traction control light illuminated, parking brake light illuminated at all times. Is available for inspection. Do not have abs system currently working and is faulty. Spongy braking and am at risk for brake failure at any time. Especially during slick road conditions. It has been confirmed with independent service center and has been inspected by them. No problems prior to the illumination of lights and system failure which occurred June 4th 2025.
Per the dealer the ABS module failed, affecting the antilock brakes, traction control, trailer braking. Component failures causes erratic braking. The vehicle is now subject to longer stops in wet/slippery conditions. The dealer has diagnosed the problem. Chrysler/Ram do not have the ABS modules and they are on national back order. There is no known delivery date. Multiple lights are on in the vehicle. Vehicle has been at the dealer for more than 2 weeks now. The problem was diagnosed July 1, 2025. The needed part couldn't be sourced by the dealer.
The ABS warning light has appeared and the dealership inspected the vehicle and stated the ABS needs to be replaced. Research shows multiple RAM 1500 trucks from 2016-2019 have had a recall on this system, but as far as I know, no recall was issued on mine. I do not know where to look to view all recalls that were issued on a particular vehicle.
