Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 73, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The HCU/ABS system in my truck is acting up and intermittent. Causing ABS to not work and making beeping noises on and off while driving. Also causes the cruise control to not work.
The Abs module and hydraulic control unit have been out on my truck for a year and a half. No abs, no cruise control, no back up camera and no 4wd. Ram has discontinued the parts with nothing to replace them.
The service light for a electronic Brake System as well as the light for Electronic ABS system started blinking on and off numerous times. I called the dealer to make an appointment and had to wait 2 months to get it in for service. When I got it in for service they told me the issue. They said it will be covered under my extended warranty. However, the part is in Engineering hold and is not available for ordering untill February 22, 2024. I need my truck. Can't wait 5 months for it to be ordered and shipped. That is if they release for orders in the 21st. Now my truck is setting in the dealer back lot, unsafe to drive they have told me. This all started while driving. Fortunately I didn't have an accident or and incident before getting it to the dealership.
ABS and Traction Control lights and bells and alarms going off saying need to Service Right Away. Called dealer and told not to drive truck till fixed. but the parts are and have been on back order for over a year because there are so many trucks with this issue and its going to cost me close to $2,000. to get this issue fixed. Its a faulty item not of my doing. Needs to be a recall on this issue. In the mean time I am with out a truck.
ABS light on and antiskid light came on and the bell is ringing and the cruise control not working when on
Currently 73K on the vehicle. "Service Electronic Braking System", keeps appearing on the dash indication lights, also, "ABS Failure". the problem is intermittent. Through out the driving process approximately 2 hours a day, this incident will start ad start 5-15 time during this drive. Cant't replicate or recreate the problem every time. No controls. I haven't notified the dealer, waste of time, only if you pay them for a diag fee. One doesn't know when a accident will happen, unfortunately I have no confidence in the system to protect me as it was intended
ABS light and traction control light coming on , cruise control will not work. I took it to a Ram dealership and it they advised me that it needed a new HCU, then they advised me that the HCU cannot be ordered until after February 2024. I cannot get a inspection sticker in my state (Virginia) with the ABS brakes not working properly and I’m afraid the truck braking system and cruise control not working.
Part Failure: ABS Module Part Failure: HCU Module Braking System Failure Safety concern This failure has been repaired 3 times ABS/Traction Light on/Warning chimes
I have had two hydraulic control units (HCU) fail on this vehicle since purchasing new. The first was under warranty and failed around the 30,000 mile mark. The second failed around the 50,000 mile mark outside of warranty and parts were very difficult to find. It took the dealer nearly a year to get the part and nearly $1200 in parts and labor to fix. Many other owners are experiencing this issue. When the HCU failure is detected, the vehicle cruise control will not work. It is sometimes intermittent. When the issue is not detected, cruise control works but will be disabled as soon as the issue with the HCU is detected. Very troublesome.
While driving down the road my vehicles ABS and Traction control light go on and off, most of the time the lights are stuck on. Causing the vehicle to not have ABS and traction control during the rain and snow months of the year an further more the cruise control does not work. At this point the truck is unsafe to drive in all conditions as it does not retain its safety braking systems, I will not put my family in the vehicle. Moving forward ask my local Ram dealer about the repairs and they say they can not get the parts they have been on back order.
Abs and traction control lights going off and on . Had pump and control module replaced april 2022.Now it showing same problem 9000 miles later.
The ABS module in our 2500 Cummins has been serviced multiple times since purchasing and is still throwing service codes. We have a child and need to be sure that this module is working properly. We know this module has been recalled in the 2019-2022 models.
At 9794 miles, warranty repair for Code C002001, failed ABS pump motor control, general circuit failure, replaced control module under warranty. Now the vehicle is having same issue at 37,XXX miles, and no longer under warranty. Screen constantly flashes "Service electronic brake system" and "Service ABS System" over and over. ABS light comes on. Traction control light comes on. Vehicle does not have functioning electronic brakes or ABS. I contacted original dealership who performed repair at 9794 miles who now reports they "have no record" of this repair, although I still have the customer copy of the receipt. I contacted Mopar customer support on 7/11/23 who told me that I would be contacted within 3 days, but I have not been verbally contacted. I also filed an online complaint with Mopar on 7/11/23 and have not received an electronic reply, either. This is a known issue on 2017 Ram 2500 trucks and something must be done about it. My vehicle is not braking safely and I fear to drive the vehicle at this time. Furthermore, our life circumstances require me to often pull a trailer, for which I am unable and uncomfortable with doing at this time. Please help. Dealership is reporting that this could be up to an $1800 or more repair for me to pay, out of pocket, which is unethical. This issue was originally repaired under warranty and persists. Furthermore, class action lawsuits have been filed over this issue, and investigations have been launched over this issue. Please help, thank you.
Vehicle set code C0020-01 ABS Control Module/ Hydraulic Control Unit failure. ABS system, Traction Control and cruise control does not work. Parts unavailable to fix issue leaving me with the choice or parking the vehicle or driving and u safe vehicle. This should have been a recall and Ram is doing nothing about it.
The abs light and service electric braking system light come on cost 1500 dollars to fixe to put new modules in it
Bought this truck with 88000 miles in Texas when I got home back to Arkansas the very next week I start having issues with brake occasionally spongy, service abs and traction control lights coming on and off multiple times and cruise control not working. It may work fine then all of a sudden ding and lights come on and shuts your cruise control off I have almost been hit for this issue multiple times.
ABS light and alarm come on and goes off at random intervals. This issue was repaired before on 03/04/2020 and now the issue is reoccurring when rain or hight humidity. The original ABS code on the system was C0020-01 (ABS pump motor control - general failure). The HCU part #68143491AA was replaced and ABS module the issue corrected. My concern is that the ABS is disabled on the vehicle once the condition occurs and could result in loss of control during a hard or panic stop. I pull a 7,000 lb trailer and am concerned that if a hard stop occurs the truck could start sliding and cause the truck and the traile to lose control.
Abs unit, hcu failed. Lights flash on an off over an over while driving. ABS light stays on so ABS will not work. Cruise control will not work. Keeps throwing service abs, and service electronic brake controller
ABS / Traction Control lights began intermittently turning on. After roughly 5k miles, the lights are on all the time. The truck is throwing code C0020-01. From looking around online, this is certainly not a unique situation. The fact that there is an updated HCU (P/N 68143491AB) to be released later this year, shows that this is a known issue.
At less than 50K miles, the ABS braking and traction control system has failed compromising the safety of the driver, passengers and cargo.
ABS/ Traction Control lights constantly going on and off. Kicks off cruise control. Message blocks digital speedometer. Known issue, yet FCA will not recall.
My 2017 Ram with less than 14000 miles has no a steady “service ABS system “light on:checking on internet this seems be to happening to ALL Ram models.
The ABS light constantly beeps and flashes. It is available for inspection. We are not sure if it is unsafe. We had it hooked up to the code machine from a dealership and they said it definitely needs to be fixed. Yes it has been confirmed. Not inspected from the Ram dealership yet because I was hoping it would be at no charge. We just bought the truck 8 months ago with 30,000 miles. There should be no problems. The lights come on every time you start the truck and blink more when you go over bumps .
ABS Hydraulic unit and ABS Module failed at 72465 Causing cruise control and 4x4 to not work. Warning lights flash on off intermitting. ABS module is on back order for at least 90 days. Not a guarantee fix. .
Service Electronic Brake and ABS lights flash on with dash chime indicating failure while operating the vehicle. No code stored. Intermittent issue - after reading other complaints it appears that this is a serious issue across all Ram owners. Dealer indicated that numerous truck owners are having the same issues and that currently parts are not available. Service tech advised me that the vehicles ABS may fail while operating.
The hydraulic control unit which operates the braking system ,speed control, cruise control.
When driving the vehicle, the ABS and traction control lights simultaneously activate, bells start ringing and a notification in the display screen. The issue started in october of 2019 when still in warranty. The dealer could not find a problem and claimed no codes. Starting in december 2019 the issue started more regular, the dealer could not get us in at that time. Then the issue quit for a period of time. It has now gotten to be a regular issue and stays active more then not. Occurs mostly driving in just about any condition and speed, has occurred a few times when the vehicle is stationary. The local dealer tells us it is regular occurrence on this type of vehicle. Parts are actually a dealer limited item and not in stock. It has now gotten to where my wife does not want to drive the vehicle. We are working with fca to get some assistance. The dealer tells it need the ABS pump (hcu) and controller. $880 for what appears to be defective safety part. Vehicle was at the dealer 3/30/2020 current mileage: 46579 note: we have heard from others in this area with the same type of failure and internet searches reveal dozens. We are very happy with the truck and just hope fca/ram does due diligence and takes care of the problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram 2500. While driving at various speeds the ABS, traction and service electronic brakes warning indicator lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken walker chrysler dodge jeep ram (3739, 5757 coliseum blvd, alexandria, la 71303 (318) 242-1628) where it was diagnosed that the ABS control pump and module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.
For the past month, I have had intermittent displays of "service electronic braking system" and "service antilock brake system". When this occurs, the cruise control becomes nonoperational. A check of the internet shows that these problems are widely experienced by dodge ram owners. The display comes on whether sitting or driving.
