Received bill and paid a total of $612.82 for parts, core charge, taxes, and convienence fee for using my credit card. Note this charge does not include the $285.00 labor fee to install and program module ( will be billed at time of service.) when I get the paid invoice back I am told the part is backordered due to a recall, and that the part may not be available for at least 45 days. Only way to guarantee being a recipient of the part with manager placing expedite request was to prepay as I was told. Included are copies of obd ii report from dealer, quote provided, and receipt of payment. I will need to know how to get reimbursed for this recalled part.

ABS Module has internal failure. ABS turned off, Traction and stability control turned off, Cruse control disabled.
Abs module not communicating and is common issue. It is so common thee is a back order on abs module and you can’t obtain one with dealer or online. So Dodge is ok with poee driving around with no abs and it also disables trailer brakes and cruise control but no resolve with manufacture.

The ABS Control Module Malfunction! I have researching about These Units, only to find That This Has Been An Ongoing Problem with ALL Mopar Vehicles For YEARS. Why Has there Not Been a Recall. I have seen The same model that are before and after the 2017 1500 Laramie Crew Cab With the Trailer Package, RAMBOX, along with even more Options. it Does not STOP like It Did Before! I have in the Mutable issues Than NEITER of the Dayton Andrew Dealers could Ever Repair, and at the time the Truck was STILL under Warranty.

My ABS module is bad. I have no traction control, or cruise control. My truck shows service trailer brake system, service electronic braking system, and service antilock brake system. I took it to my mechanic in October 2024 and he said there is no part available from Dodge. I took it to a Dodge dealer April 6, 2025 and they were going to send the ABS module off to be rebuilt, said it would take 3 to 4 days. They then called and said it would take one month to rebuild. I went and got my truck back, since I can’t be without it for a month. There are many owners on a forum for Ram 1500 with the same issue. Some are trading theirs in for a different vehicle because of this issue.
Began driving to work, after about 5 minutes the service abs light traction control light and brake light came on with cruise control feature disabled.. all the warning lights would come on and off as I drove. The following day. Took it to the dealership and was told ram is having problems with the ABS module and are all on back order for months.
Service electronic braking system/ service antilock brake system, (ABS). My local dealership stated this is a nationwide known issue for the past three years with manufacture and supplier issue and that there is no no remedy or fix for this at this time.
Check ABS System, Check Electric Brake System, Check Trailer Tow, icy/skid light, and emergency BRAKE dash lights are all on. Trailer brakes module will not engage electric trailer brakes when towing heavy equipment, cruise control will not function, and anti-skid brakes (Plusing brakes, instead of brakes lock-up) do not function. The latter lock-up of brakes is a huge safety issue. Dealer says Hydraulic Control unit and electric brake unit need to be replaced. The electric brake unit is not available. The Ram series 2500 and heavier have a recall on these failing parts. The Ram 1500 was not included in the recall, but has the same components that regulate the braking system. The recall needs to include all failing components regardless of the vehicle in which they are installed.
the failed component is the ABS control module. this is very common with these trucks. parts have been on back order for years. The result of this failed component is no ABS and no traction control which is a huge safety issue. the Engine fault code is C2200.
I have not had any accidents but the vehicle is indicating a fault in the ABS and ESC system
While driving down highway, the ABS light and traction lights came on and cruise control was disabled and brakes was catching as if applying the brakes. After stopping, tried to place the truck in 4WD to no avail. Reset the light by disconnecting the battery, but the warning light for traction came back on and then went off several times when there was no obvious reason.
The ABS , traction control, and brake light came on in the dash. Had the vehicle checked and the code came up C2200-49, which indicates the ABS module. Found out that the 2019 models and newer have a recall on the same part. Went to and spoke to 2 different dealerships to try and get fixed or even to buy the part, but was told that this module has been an issue and back ordered for over 3 years. One of the dealerships told me that they aren't even entertaining the option of making an appointment. This is very frustrating and confusing, since my stopping ability could be compromised, especially since I tow a boat quite frequently.
The brakes on my 2017 4WD Lonestar Ram 1500 have been malfunctioning intermittently over the past few months. When depressing the brake petal, three things happen at once; the brake petal pulsates up and down, the ABS and "Service Electronic Braking System" lights illuminate on the dash, and I can hear a loud, gurgling sound. While researching the issue online, I noticed that a recall for the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) responsible for failure of the braking system has been initiated for the 2017 Ram 2500 and 3500 models, but I believe that an inspection will reveal that the HCU in my 1500 is also faulty. This issue greatly impacts the vehicles ability to slow down or come to a sudden stop, as the brakes often lock when they are applied, and has almost resulted in several collisions.
My ABS system is not working Anti-traction control and cruise control. Dealer says parts not available for last 2 years. No reasons for manufacturer delays. dealer says part cannot be ordered.
ABS module part no. 68295368AC has failed. Cannot replace due to Chrysler has engineers taking product off line. This has been a known defect for years and has not been recalled. My wife now drives a malfunctioning vehicle. Cost of repairs will be over $1000.00 There is no info of when this part will be available. Have contacted Chrysler customer care and they have confirmed this defect and no answers. Complaint ref.#[XXX] Customer phone 8003349200. Please look into this matter that Chrysler has been ignoring. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
ABS and traction control lights consistently light shortly after starting the truck. ABS, traction control and 4 wheel drive are disabled when this happens. This issue has been ongoing for many months with several attemps to repair that have not worked.
While driving several times since purchasing it the vehicles steering had completely locked and I've had to slam on brakes in middle of traffic before i crash several times, very close to causing serious injuriesto myself or others and possibly death. This has happened numerous times since i bought it. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it, they said they fix it in 2021 it has happend several times since then also, im scared to drive it. Or it will get super lose like a joy stick, but won't turn at all. Ive taken it to several other dealerships for diagnosis with similar results. Now when i brought it to the dealership where i purchased they're saying they have to charge to diagnosis it again when I have several other diagnosis stating same problem plus i brought it here in 2021 same problem. so there own diagnosis which should be in system, ive went to another dodge dealership for diagnosis and auto separate auto repair shop who confirmed the same electrical power steering issues. They even printed papers stating the 2015-2016 ram had same problem and recalls on same steering wheel issues.
It is having the same issues like the recall for the 2500 and up for the abs hydraulic control unit. Warning lights are on and does not have cruise control, traction control, nor 4 wheel drive
The contact owns a 2017 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Service Trailer System Brakes" and "4WD Disabled" messages were displayed. Additionally, the cruise control was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the front hub sensor, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, who determined that the ABS control module needed to be replaced; however, the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 24V653000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic, Electronic Stability Control); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.
ABS system went down on my truck, brakes still work but no ABS system! Received no recall papers even though the truck is a 2017 Dodge Ram and 2017 trucks are under recalls.
Lights are on for the abs system and stabilizer. Took car to mechanic and they indicated that the module needs to be replaced as described by the information posted.from other cars similar issues. No recall has been posted for my module and it costs over $1,200 TO FIX. My 2017 ram 1500 laramie needs to be on recall list to fix the same issues. This issue presented it self when I was make a left turn. Abs and stable control Lights went on.
The NTSB requires that the manufacturer install ABS and SRS systems on the vehicle. The manufacturer, Ram is having issues supplying repair parts, the Anti Lock Break Control module is on national backorder with no idea of when it will be available. This is a serious safety issue and someone needs to review and determine if this can be corrected. I as well as many other vehicles are on the road without this important safety feature.
ABS control unit failure. Part number is 68295368AA. Dealer cannot fix problem due to no part being available. I've researched this issue online and found that they've issued 2 additional part numbers to replace the unit with, both are on backorder with the manufacturer. I managed to search online for all 3 part numbers and was able to locate one of them, the latest version actually and have ordered it. Here's the main issue. This is a well known and wide spread problem with the 2017-2018 Ram 1500 trucks, also why parts are not available at the dealer. When the ABS control unit fails, the ABS, traction control, trailer brake assist, and cruise control are INOP. This is a major safety issue while driving the vehicle and problematic when you can't easily get the problem repaired. I am out of warranty coverage as are most who have the same problem. I feel FCA should step up and do a Recall of these trucks and fix with a quality part before someone gets killed.
The car has hit the brakes multiple times by itself on the highway. The car also does not have traction control anymore and I almost lost control with both of my kids in the car when I went to speed up and pass someone. Since the car is rear wheel drive, I almost spun out but I let go of the gas and kept my wheel straight and it aligned itself back to normal. I’ve been in contact with the dealership about the abs problems and they said it’s a computer that is on back order for someone reason. This is very dangerous and I’ve read many reports online of how it’s happened to many folks. I constantly have an abs, brake, and traction light on. In addition, the problem Can’t even Be fixed since they don’t have the computer at the dealership. Dodge needs to fix this dangerous problem. It happened today, the spinning out, which is why I am sending this now. But I’ve had multiple issues driving in the highway with the car braking by itself due to the abs computer having an issue that dodge knows about.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.
