2015 Ram 2500: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Jul 25, 2025 · Brakes, Electrical · OK

While driving down highway 65 mph, abs system activated causing right rear brakes to activate causing vehicle to activate steering control making truck head towards on coming traffic before able to control vehicle to shoulder of roadway. Would like to know if, when, and who and where any previous recall work has been performed to this vehicle, bought at a dealership in Oklahoma with check engine light on, told it was gas cap. Turns out it was not a gas cap, there was programming involved to remove the MIL function of brake system. ECM was sent to a 3rd party vendor and unlocked, afterwards the previous program was unlocked showing disabling of MIL functions for several functions. Vehicle is having issues with electrical radiator fan causing excessive heat in compartment, what was the fix for this by MFG? Was it to just program out the electric fan from coming on at high speed ? Now engine within 20 minutes of idling overheats truck( road construction/wrecks)

MANUFACTURER VIOLATION OF FEDERAL TREAD ACT REIMBURSEMENT REQUIREMENTS Vehicle experienced ABS hydraulic control unit failure in September 2022 with warning lights and transmission shifting problems. Repairs cost $5651 addressing brake system hydraulic control unit defects. In November 2024, manufacturer issued Recall C7B/the federal safety agency 24E-100 for identical hydraulic control unit ABS defects affecting 2012-2018 Ram vehicles. Federal regulation 49 CFR 573.13 requires manufacturers reimburse pre-notification repairs reasonably necessary to correct recalled defects. Manufacturer FCA US LLC improperly denied reimbursement under case 92237530, claiming parts not covered under recall repair. This violates federal TREAD Act mandatory reimbursement requirements. Manufacturer referenced wrong recall campaigns in denial letters, demonstrating failure to properly evaluate claim under applicable federal regulations. Request the federal safety agency enforcement action to compel manufacturer compliance with federal reimbursement obligations. Manufacturer operates established reimbursement system but improperly applies federal requirements. Safety defect was present in 2022 and subsequently recalled, establishing federal obligation for pre-recall repair reimbursement. Wilson v FCA class action settlement demonstrates manufacturer previously paid identical hydraulic control unit replacement costs for same defect type.

ABS module not working

Filed Jan 31, 2024 · Acceleration · IL

ABS speed sensor on. Replaced and it remains on. It causes my cruise control, traction control and most importantly 4WD to stop working. This happened right in the middle of a week where we had lots of snow and ice and freezing temperatures. I got lucky and discovered that the ABS light causes the four-wheel-drive to not work before I manage to take a bad road that I had been planning to take. Meanwhile because of work I haven't had time to fix it till recently so all this time I have not had four-wheel-drive very bad weather. A very stupid fail safe feature, disabling 4WD over a speed sensor.

I recently experienced a problem with the ABS/traction control system on my 2015 dodge ram 2500 pickup. The truck only has 40,000 miles. First noticed the problem as I was going up hill on an exit ramp off the highway. The ABS/traction control started coming on occasionally at first for no apparent reason. I had my mechanic put the truck on his scanner to see if a code popped up. Nothing showed up as being wrong. Replaced the back tires on the truck and that didn't help. Took it to the dealer and they couldn't get a code to show up either. Chrysler had a service bulletin and the dealer re-programmed the computer on the truck. That didn't help. They finally diagnosed the problem as the outer tie rod being worn out causing the angle sensor and ABS to engage. I ended up paying $1,879.19 to get it fixed. The dealer admitted that there had been a recall with the drag link but refused to cover the repairs under the recall. I have never had a vehicle where the tie rods wore out after 40,000 miles. My understanding (even though I am not a mechanic) is that the drag link/suspension on ram trucks is notorious for being a problem. I felt that chrysler should have covered this since they knew about the problem with the drag links.
