ABS System Component Failure: My 2017 RAM 3500 truck was diagnosed with a failed ABS pump motor on XXX, the pump was replaced per dealer procedure and since the code did not clear the procedure was to replace the ABS Control Module. I was advised at the time that ABS Module was not availble at any of the RAM dealers in the [XXX] and a warranty recall was pending. On XXX I was advised the recalled part was in stock for installation. On XXX, the HCU (Hydraulic Contol Unit) pump was installed, however the ABS system still has an active fault code C2200-49, indicating a defective ABS control module, which is bolted directly to the HCU. The dealer will not replace the ABS module under the terms of the recall, and the replacement part is still on restriction through the STAR Center. It is my opinion that driving for 2 years with a failed HCU caused damage to the ABS module and needs to be included in the C4B recall. Bottom line the truck is still not safe to drive without Traction Control and ABS Brake Control. I have a case pending with a FCA Level 2 manager to get this part expedited and cost coverd by FCA. Your help would be greatly appreciated. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving on interstate 20 and then on I65 my cruise control dropped off causing the vehicle to sudden decrease in speed. Rear end collision narrow avoided due to commercial vehicles, following, quick action saved a disaster. This loss of cruise control, is/was caused by the warning â ï¸ of recall C4B/the federal safety agency 24V‑896. We are now experiencing a total loss of safety (service electronic brake system, service abs system, loss of traction control, {loss of cruise control}). These safety functions are now making this, one ton, dually, a death trap, mental health problem (I have PTSD, depression, anger management, anxiety problems) . My wife is afraid of this vehicle, WILL NOT let me pull our 42 foot, 15,000 pound, Redwood 38GK 5th wheel RV. Should your investigation be done, this is the 3rd recall/repair on this system. Will this dangerous vehicle be the next cause or a deadly pile up, will children be the the innocent victims? This recall and the other ever be fixed? The value has dropped , now by $25k to $35,000 on truck with 45,000 miles. Appreciate your time, [XXX] .
