The Service Electric Braking System and the Service Antilock Brake System warning lights come on with chime. I or other have not been put into risk of safety as of yet. No dealer will look at it right now. I have called 2 dealerships and they both told me that they have to many vehicles as of now to look at it. At what point is mine and others safety con into play? I need my truck for my business and can't afford to let it go for long.
2018 Ram 2500 brakes complaints
Page 79 of 79: complaints 2,321 to 2,349 of 2,349, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Above vehicle 2018 ram 2500 has issue with the ABS system and or electronic braking system. Abs light blinks along with traction control because of a issue with the ABS module and or ABS pump. This issue is well documented in numerous ram trucks, new and used, of a failing part or parts that causes a saftey concern. When this part fails , you lose your anti lock brakes and it also puts your vehicle with no traction control. This issue needs to be addressed and a saftey recall needs to be issued to fix this problem before someone gets hurt or killed due to their vehicle losing control during braking or during acceleration.
The "Service ABS" light started intermittently going on and off on our 2018 truck. The truck has only 8,400 miles on odometer, and the issue started just three months after the bumper to bumper warranty expired. Taken to the RAM dealership and to an independent shop we were told that C0020 ABS pump motor failed and ABS pump and module must be replaced and reprogrammed. After doing some research on the web, we read of several cases identical to ours,. Still the dealerships did not offer any assistance and we are waiting to hear back from FCA/RAM. Since the issue is well known and common to a large number of vehicles (just google the error code) we wonder why this is not part of a recall. Braking systems are an integral safety part of the vehicles and the fact that the manufacturer is not acting on this issue despite being well aware of it being a common problem on their trucks is just irresponsible.
While driving my 2018 Ram 2500, the Service Electrical Breaking System and Service Anti-locking Break System flashes on and off. It usually does this while traveling on a bumpy road or driving over railroad tracks. Sometimes it will go days without coming on and some days while driving it constantly beeps and flashes the entire time while driving and it really distracts me from driving. When I called my local Ram dealership Lander's Dodge Bossier City, to make an appointment, they knew that it was a 2018 Ram 2500 before I told them. The first available appointment isn't until 22 November 21.
The abs light and traction control light came on with chiming going off. The lights would go on and off at random. Didn't start till I washed my truck. Took to dealer they said the ABS module bad and ordered it. They say warranty will cover it. They shut the light off and reset the system. Stayed off till I washed the truck again. The part is in just need to have taken to shop to put on. This should be a RECALL for as many of these trucks that this has happened too. The cruise control, won't work and how do you now that the brakes will stop the truck if someone pulls out and you hit the brakes hard if the ABS system isn't working right. They inspect the truck and see that the ABS system was not working who is liable in a law suite. Chrysler won't say that it is a problem. Something needs to be done about Chrysler (or any manufacture) responsible for the safety of the consumer buy there product. The truck only has 21,536 miles on it now. If it wasn't under warranty it wouldn't be fixed. It had 20,659 miles when went in to dealer. it had 20,583 miles when the light first came on.

ABS light came on. Dealership said that ABS Control Valve is defective. Could lead to safety issue. Have read on several forums that this is a reoccurring problem with this vehicle.

The anti lock brake and electronic braking system are throwing alerts on dashboard. It cuts off cruise control as well. This is a safety concern for us and other vehicles. On all ram forums there are complaints wanting to start a class action. This is a very common problem with the ram trucks. It costs $800-$1000 out of pocket.

Abs and tc lights come on and ding randomly, freedom service told me it’s a hydraulic pump and causes a safety issue it also knocks cruise control off when it happens. The dealership said they have changed many so I am sure ram is aware of this issue.
Intermittent dash notification to Service Electronic Braking System It is the braking system and there is noted thousands of these failed systems at very low vehicle mileage I have not had it in the shop, it just started yesterday but during my investigation of possible solutions I found thousands of the same problem going back years, Ram is well aware yes, the dash board lights and dings as well as a written dash warning.

Traveling West on I10 Mobile, AL it was raining and the ABS and TCS system lights started flashing along with a waring bell. this was repeating about once every 10-15 seconds. The road was in the process of being resurfaced and was rough. Return home to make an appointment with the dealer and was told five days was first available. Used a bi-directional scan tool to verify the fault as a ABS motor connection fault. Purchased the OEM hydraulic control unit installed and corrected the problem. After replacement the bad unit dc motor was found to be open no electrical connection. I have also performed a simple failure analysis. I found that one of the two DC motor brushes to be stuck in the brush holder. this appears to be causing intermittent connection faults on the rough road and total failure in the near future. I have found that the other brush that was making contact with the motor armature could be pushed into the brush holder and would also stick for a short time. This looks to be a design and or tolerance issue. I cut the outer motor housing with a small metal cutting wheel, while removing the armature probably pushed the bad brush into it's deeper position with no contact. I have all the parts if the federal safety agency would like to inspect the motor.
I have a 2018 ram 2500 with 24320 miles on it. The traction control light/ ABS/ebs service lights come on when driving. The speed control goes off.

This will get someon killed if they are not careful.

All of the dealer have stated there is a national back order for the parts due to the volume of failures that keep happening.

I have brought my vehicle into three different dealerships, twice at rockwall dodge, twice as dallas dodge, once at huffines dodge. Dealerships claim nothing is wrong with vehicle, the power steering pump on this particular model is more audible than others, also there is supposed to be some air created in power steering system. Dealership service advisor stated, 'for all I know, you could be syphoning the fluid out of the reservoir and claiming it's low' each dealership said nothing was wrong, but has failed to explain to me where my fluid is going, why I'm losing braking power, having complete loss of power steering, or why my truck is very audibly making an aeration noise. Vehicle has been out of service for 15 plus days. Dealerships only look to see physical leaks, see nothing, and say it's fine and send me out the door. I've been through the lemon law process. Fca won the case and ncds denied buyback. I will attach a picture of ncds's statement on why the denial was made.
