2017 Ram 2500 driver assistance problems

Filed Sep 25, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · NY

I own a 2017 Ram 2500 that is subject to an active safety recall involving the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), Recall C4B / the federal safety agency Recall 24V‑896. My vehicle is currently experiencing problems consistent with the safety defect described in the recall. The ABS warning light is illuminated, traction control is not functioning, cruise control is not functioning, and four-wheel drive is not functioning. I contacted an authorized Ram dealer regarding the active recall and was informed that there is currently no remedy available for my vehicle. This is extremely concerning because this is no longer simply an open recall on a vehicle that is otherwise operating normally. My truck is actively experiencing a failure involving its ABS and traction/stability-control systems, yet the manufacturer is unable to provide the recall repair. After being told there was no remedy available, I attempted to trade the truck in because I need a dependable and safe vehicle. However, I was offered substantially less than the amount I still owe on the truck. I currently owe just under $19,000. This would leave me with a significant financial loss and negative equity while trying to get out of a vehicle affected by an unresolved manufacturer safety recall. I do not believe I should be forced to absorb this financial loss simply because the manufacturer currently cannot provide a remedy for an active safety recall while my vehicle is exhibiting the associated safety problems. My preferred resolution would be for the manufacturer to pay off the remaining loan balance of approximately $19,000 so that I can surrender/trade the affected vehicle and purchase a newer used vehicle. I am willing to purchase another vehicle; I am not simply seeking financial compensation. I need a safe and dependable vehicle and a reasonable way out of this situation without being left responsible for thousands of dollars in negative equity caused or worsened by an unresolved safety recall.

The recall C4B/NHTSB 24v-893 came out in January of 2025. The parts are still not available for this recall (per Chrysler/RAM). I have been driving my truck with a possible non-working ABS system for a year and a half, often pulling a 10,000 lb trailer. I feel that this is ridiculous that the part is still not available. If I had a wreck during this time, I guarantee that I would sue the crap out of Chrysler.

Vehicle: 2017 Ram 2500 4x4 Diesel the federal safety agency Recall Number: 24V‑896 Manufacturer Recall Number: C4B My vehicle is subject to Recall 24V‑896 involving a Brake Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) that may fail and cause intermittent loss of ABS, Electronic Stability Control, and Traction Control. Beginning around September 2025, my vehicle started experiencing intermittent ABS and Electronic Braking System warning lights while driving. The warnings occur randomly during vehicle operation and not only at startup. I have contacted and visited my Ram dealership multiple times regarding both the recall and the active warning lights. The dealership advised that recall parts were not available and did not perform a diagnosis of the warning lights. I was informed that the recall remedy was unavailable and was not provided a determination regarding whether the vehicle was safe to operate. Because the dealership would not diagnose the active warning condition, I paid for an independent inspection. On March 5, 2026, an independent repair facility diagnosed Diagnostic Trouble Code C0020-01 (ABS Pump Motor Control Failure). Their inspection notes state that they flow-tested the ABS system and determined that the ABS module was faulty. The symptoms currently being experienced by my vehicle appear consistent with the failure mode described in Recall 24V‑896, which states that a failing HCU may initially result in intermittent loss of ABS and traction control before progressing to permanent loss. As of June 2026, the recall remains incomplete and the remedy is still unavailable. I am concerned that the vehicle is exhibiting symptoms consistent with the recalled defect while no repair is available. I am requesting the federal safety agency review the delay in providing a remedy and the safety implications of vehicles experiencing active symptoms associated with this recall while parts remain unavailable.
