I was driving down us 19/27. The road was wet and a deer ran out in frount of me. When I applied brakes my tires locked up and I skidded of the road. My ABS light stays on and every time I take to the dealer to have it fixed they tell me they can not get parts. The truck has been doing this since I first bought it. At first it was intermitten but now the ABS light stays
Driving home from work, ABS and traction control light and warning started to go on and off nonstop every 2 seconds or so. No bumps on the road or excessive turning just a straight highway.. will contact dealer today for any recalls but I don’t see any open.
Vehicle pulled out from parking lot in front of my truck. I had to hit the brakes very hard and they took longer than normal to stop. Luckily I was able to avoid the accident by going into another lane. Immediately after the abs and stability control lights started flashing and a “service abs system” and “service electronic braking system” messages started. They went away shortly after but since then intermittently sound a warning. When this happens cruise control disengages. Took the truck to the dealer on 7/26 and was told it needs a new hcu abs module. The part is backordered until at least February of next year.
Had to make a hard stop, now ABS light is on, lost cruise control and traction control. Part is on world wide back order, sometime next year, reading many issues with this year abs system.
ABS/HCU is constantly failing causing my breaking, traction control, and cruise control to fail.
Consistent warning stating, "Service Anti-Lock Braking System" and "Service Traction Control System" from the vehicle. While this warning is indicated by dinging tones, text displaying in the vehicle information screen, and lights lit on the dashboard, the ABS, Traction Control, and Cruise Control Systems do not function. This is a severe safety risk as if this occurs while driving your cruise control immediately shuts off and if driving in slick conditions you no longer have anti-lock brakes, nor traction control. This is apparently a known issue of Fiat Chrysler on the 2017-2018 model year vehicles where the HCU (Hydraulic Control Unit) needs to be replaced which will remedy this issue. The parts however seem to be in very short supply and not all vehicle mechanics can make the repairs as I am being told you need specific software to reset the system once the HCU has been replaced. This is estimated to cost between $1200-1800 to have repaired. I have reached out to Chrysler Cares and they advised me to take my vehicle to my local dealer for repair and advised there is no warranty, nor recall in place to cover these costs.
First the abs module failed then the abs hydraulic control unit failed. It has been over a year and no part is available.
My 2018 Ram 2500 6.4l is experiencing intermittent ABS, traction control, electric braking warnings on the dash which affects cruise control once alarm is active. This issue seems to be globally.
Message comes up to "Service electronic braking system." Code found was C0020-01 (ABS pump motor failure). Couldn't order part due to engineering review. Truck only has 20,400 miles. This part cannot be worn out. Should be a safety recall.
Vehicle receives service electronic brake system. HCU and ABS module seem to be the issue. Cannot drive more than 20 mph without message saying service is needed. It is constant up to 80 mph. Vehicle is parked due to safety reasons.
ABS pump motor control: apparently this is a major problem according to dodge bulletin boards. The replacement part mopar was shipping was defective so they made a updated part that is nearly impossible to get nobody has any stock. Subsequently everyone is driving around with a Faulty ABS system. This is very DANGEROUS. Some people are stuck because the can’t pass inspection for registration purposes with the fault light on.
ABS light turned on on the dash. Next a warning that the park sense, ABS, four wheel drive, and Cruise were disabled. Had Diagnostics run and found that the vehicle ABS is logging C0020-01 and C0020-16. Case number S2005000004 from STAR showing this to be a known issue. Contacted every dealership within 100 mile range and the needed part of an ABS HCU is unavailable until at least February 2024. Contacted Stellantis Customer care and they will not assist unless the vehicle receives an official diagnostic from a dealership that will cost me at least $150 and they will not assist with replacing the part or even supplying the part so there was no gain from having the diagnostic officially done at a RAM dealership. Well known issue per every dealership and many online forums. No assistance from RAM/Stellantis at all.
ABS Module and HCU Failure. No ABS or Traction control which could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. There have been several complaints filed but no recall issued. The same part (same part numbers)was recalled for 2019 and newer trucks.Service brake and traction control system lights on. Parts on extended back order.
Loss of abs, cruise and traction control randomly, Abs code -C002001 After search seems to be common issue on 18 rams 2500s
ABS / Traction Control turns on and off intermittently without warning when this happens the cruise control turns off creating sudden loss of speed control
At Around 44k miles the ABS and traction control light started coming on along with the warning chime. Brought truck to the dealer for diagnosis and they said it needed a ABS hydraulic control module, P/N 68143491AB. I ordered the part but dealer stated that so many parts are defective that part is back ordered at least 4 months. I have no choice but to drive the truck with defective ABS module.
8 month ago my abs and traction control light and warning bazzer came on. i immediately took vehicle to local ram dealership where i bought in it new. they done diagnostic test and told me it needed a new abs hydraulic control unit . i was told that no parts where availiable at this time and it could take 6 to 8 months to get parts. i am still waiting for parts to arive and it would cost about $1400 to fix. this truck only has 25.000 miles on it. also was told it would be ok to drive it but i am not so sure about that since the antilock brake system is not functioning.
The antilock /traction control warning light and alarm is going off in my truck. I took it to Woody Folsom Ram Dealership in Douglas,Ga . They informed me that my HCU ( hydraulic control unit) needed replacing .They said they could not even order the part until Feb. 2024. so now if we drive the truck if is less safe especially in inclement weather. This is so dangerous for the Ram company to not have the parts available especially for parts concerning the safety of their customers.

2018 RAM 2500 6.7l service abs system and service electronic braking system warnings on dash. Took vehicle to mechanic shop and scan showed code C0020-01. Symptom/Vehicle issuse: C0020-01-ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL - GENERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. Replacing the HCU and ABS Module seems to be the fix. I bought the truck as a hauler for 5th wheel camper and do to abs and traction control failure it can be extremely dangerous to drive.
The contact owns a 2018 Ram 2500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle drove over a bump in the road, and the ABS and traction control warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the ACU, but the part was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,000.
ABS light comes on frequently and disables the ABS and cruise control. I dings each time and does so frequently when I hit a bumpy road. Ram says the parts are back ordered and none are available. This should be a recall due to the anti skid control not working properly.
Hello, I have been having issues with my 2018 Ram 2500. The Service Traction Control and ABS lights on the dash have been flashing on and off constantly. Along with no Cruise Control when this happens. This has been going on now for about 3500 miles. I am still driving the vehicle due to being my only work truck. I have been doing some research along with talking to the Ram Service Departments and have noticed that this is a very large safety problem that is highly known about that is not being taken care of. Even the service manager I had spoken with is amazed that this has not been a recall. This should most definitely be a recall and should be taken care of before more people get injured or killed.
Vehicle: 2018 Ram 2500, mileage 35171. Beginning in April 2023 the ABS and Traction control dash lights would intermittently flash while sounding an alarm. The message on the dash states "Service Anti-lock Braking System" and "Service Electronic Braking System." This creates the issue of losing ABS and traction control while disabling cruise control. As time progressed it would become more frequent and would more prominent during extremely humid or rainy weather. First call to dealership was told "We can only diagnose IF the vehicle is demonstrating the issue." At that time I indicated to the service tech that there are numerous national forums with the exact same issue. Truck was brought to dealership for official diagnosis: $179.00 diagnosis fee; $411.70 Labor to remove and replace HCM; $262.00 HCU (Part # 68143491AA); 447.50 labor to remove and replace ABS Module; and $388.00 ABS Module (Part # 68347098AB). Service tech advised me that all parts are on back order and I could possibly be without the truck until mid/end of August. This is an issue the manufacturer should be obligated to correct.
Driving, hit 40,5xx miles and ABS and traction control light was flickering on and off. Kept getting warnings to service ABS and Electronic Brake System. After 25 miles of on and off flickering and chimes which were extremely distracting, it turned on and stayed on permanently. I do not have ABS, Traction control or cruise control. This is a known issue with the 2017/2018 models, and Mopar does not cover it even though it should be a recall. Thousands of people are having this issue, and dumping thousands into it all for it to just break again in 10/20k miles. The ABS modules are complete junk
I was driving my truck home from Wyoming and my ABS and Traction control lights started to go on the Fritz which caused me to lose cruise control while pulling my camper trailer that weighs 10k pounds with my family in the vehicle.
My ABS service light keeps intermittently coming on and then off. Sometimes days go by without coming on. The all of sudden it comes on. Brakes feel like they are working but brake pedal seems soft. This is a safety issue. Vehicle is awaiting dealer inspection.
