2015 Ram 3500: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed May 2, 2025 · Brakes · TN

At about 3,000 miles I noticed a periodical head light flicker and intermittent radio issues. Shortly after that the truck has presented with periodical brake issues. My front brakes parodically drag and get hot. Typically on one front side or the other. However on [XXX] my wife and I took the truck out for a drive and both front brakes began dragging and heated up. I had to be towed 40+ miles back home. Two of my neighbors can verify I've had issues with the brakes on multiple occasions for several years now. I've had to limp the truck home on several occasions while in town and in Feb. 2025 it put my wife and I in what a consider a dangerous situation by stranding us on the side of the highway. I don't remember any warning lamps coming on but I did a scan after I got the truck back home. B170-15, B210A-16, B222C, B2861-15, P2509 & P2560 were present. I used my scanner to delete the codes and reset the EMC but am a bit hesitant to take the truck out on the road. Note: The truck has experienced a weird and harsh vibration on back of truck as well. I stop, shut engine off - do a walk around but haven't been able to pinpoint anything. Crank engine back up and problem has seemingly resolved itself. I think it's possibly a brake issue as well. At present this truck has less than 11,000 miles on it. Yes, LOL, less than 11,000 miles. Calipers and pads are in excellent functioning order. Fluid is easily pushed back into reservoir with no restrictions and no apparent degradation of flexible lines. I considered the brake fluid might have moisture built up in the system so I had a complete fluid replacement done but problem has persisted.I did read there's a recall on the the HCU/ABS unit and my truck seems to be in that category but haven't received anything from FCA. [XXX] Your attention and assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ABS Module / HCU (Hydraulic Control Unit Failure) causing abs MIL on. Fault code C0020

Filed Dec 17, 2022 · Brakes · WA

ABS Module failed and is not reading rear wheel speed. Shop isolated issue to ABS module, and hydraulic control unit. Four safety components are no longer working as a result: ABS braking, traction control, 4wd, and rear back up sensors. This appears to be a common issue with Rams HD trucks as the parts are on back order causing me to drive my vehicle with no safety features.

Circa npoon 5/6/16 intersection of pomona st and orangethorpe , fullerton, ca my 2015 ram 350 w/3009 miles failed to stop while 25 ft behind a late model camray, at less than 1 MPH the ABS failed tota;lly. My ram plowed into the camray which was stopped while attempting a left turn on to ortangethorpe. The 87 year old driver in the camray was bumped 15 ft and sufford a dented left bumper, fender and tail light. My wife was in the passenger seat of the ram as a witness and a fullerton police officer witnessed the accident, he failed to make a report to the best of my knowledge.. I had no option but to hit the camray, as if, I swerved to the left I would have hit oncoming traffic and if I swerved right I might have killed pedestrians in the cross walk! .I had no choice, but use the camray to stop since the ram ABS system failed totally. I refused to drive the ram 3500 with out brakes, so I paid aaa to tow the ram back to the dealer mcpeek's dodge in anaheim, ca
