Abs intermittently alarms very frequently and causes the cruise control to drop out. I assume the ABS is useless and this taking place. I’m told this is a common problem.

In November 2024 through December 2025 our Ram started experiencing issues with the traction control and ABS lights coming on randomly and the vehicle not braking properly. Braking in corners is very sketchy and feels like you are going to run off the road. As December went on, all brake related lights stayed on and the truck feels like it has manual brakes from the 1970s. We received a Legal Notice explaining there is a class action settlement going on due to the ABS module and Brake HCU on our truck in late December 2024. We did not drive the truck long distances for the latter half of December due to the issues we were experiencing plus receiving the legal notice. A couple weeks into January 2025 we received a notice from FCA US LLC indicating there is a safety recall for the Brake HCU which affects the ABS and ESC systems. The notice said the vehicle may lose control and cause a crash without prior warning. Due to this second notice and the fact that our truck was having more issues with the braking systems and the lights were permanently on, we parked the truck mid January 2025 and have not driven it since. In early March we contacted the local dealership Morie's of Little Fall, MN as well as Chrylser/Mopar asking when our truck can be repaired and explained this is our daily driver and only safe vehicle we have for distances over 30 miles. Neither of them have been helpful and could not give us an answer. The service person at Morie's confirmed our vehicle is a part of the recall and the things we are experiencing would be related. He advised we do not drive the vehicle either. We are now mid April, THREE MONTHS WITHOUT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, and we have received no further communication from anyone relating to our truck. It is still parked and unsafe to drive. Action needs to be taken to remedy this situation. We are normally a two vehicle household down to one that can't be driven far and one that can't be driven at all.
ABS light comes on and off during operation, "service electronic brake system" notification flashes on and off as well. ABS does not work while light is on. A scanner has been run and the code is for the ABS module. We put children in this vehicle. This exact issue happened back in 2022 and the ABS HCU was replaced. We received a recall notice but are being told the truck has been repaired because the part was replaced in 2022, however the same issue is currently happening again.

Dodge/Chrysler/Ram has known about this issue for a long time. I experienced the conditions outlined in the recall on my personal vehicle, before there was a recall issued. I took it to my local dealership to have the issue repaired in August 2024. They said the brake sensor is in national back order and could take a year to get the part in. How can you issue a safety recall but not have the parts available to fix the truck?

On August 10, 2022 the truck was presented to the dealership because the ABS system was failing. This was prior to the recall C4B/the federal safety agency 24V‑896. I paid to have the system repaired. A recall was issued AFTER that date. I submitted a claim and was paid for my expenses by FCA. On March 3, 2025 the system notification system flashed warning the the ABS system was failing. I immediately took the truck to Mac Haik dealership and was advised that I could safely drive the truck until the following Monday when I could drop it off for diagnostic testing. The diagnostic testing revealed that the system was failing BUT FCA would not cover the full cost of the repairs. They would require "Customer Participation" payment of $546.00. I refused the repair because the repairs done August 2022, PRIOR to the recall was failing, so that told me that the parts utilized August 2022 were faulty and should be replaced under the terms of the recall and not require "Customer Participation of $546. I need your help to get FCA to replace and repair their faulty manufacturing.

It's been 2 months and there's no fix. Ill happily accept a repair but I want a refund or another vehicle if they can't fix it. I have no ABS or electronic braking system. I've been unable to drive it for years. The part needed is unavailable and dealerships tell me it will be a software update when a fix becomes available when the recall notice says new part. I just want to be able to drive the truck I pay almost 700 a month for. Thank you!

I have been working via my recall letter. They have provided me with approval for a rental car, but so far I have been getting mixed information on the reimbursement and have not been reimbursed. They have not and will not provide me a date for repair. I use this truck for specific activities, and rental car options are not equivalent, and again I have not yet been reimbursed. I am reading my rights and resubmitting a complaint that the manufacturer has not remedied this situation. I need 100% reimbursement for my rental car, including taxes and non-optional fees, and my truck repaired, or purchased back. I will continue researching the legislation Photos showing my truck has this defect are attached. I need to have an equivalent, safe vehicle to use, or have money from this one to buy one that is.

I have contacted multiple dealership’s and have been told that a recall about the ABS HCU module was “completed” yet, Every dealership is unable to provide a place, mechanic or even a work order proving said repairs were completed. My ESC traction control light, Service Anti-lock Braking System, Service Electronic Braking System, and Service 4WD lights are now on. And I cannot get the issue repaired because of a mistake within the system. Joe Cooper Dodge in Shawnee, Oklahoma would not diagnose the vehicle due to the issue mistakenly being marked as “Completed”. Even after making a face to face appearance with vehicle present.
