Ram 3500 abs comes on

Filed Nov 5, 2026 · Brakes · MD

[XXX] Chrysler Dodge Ram at [XXX] REFUSED to fix the hcu/abs recall due to truck being too tall. The truck sits at 8'5" tall. They seem to have a habit of doing this based on their reviews and talk from other shops. This is unacceptable and are required by law to fix these trucks. The truck is currently at another dealer without issue getting the recall repaired. Truck has never been "too tall" for any other shops in the area.

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)

There was a Recall C4B/the federal safety agency 24V‑896 on my 2018 Ram 3500 truck back in 2024. The part HCU/ABS unit that was recalled went out on my truck on or about 6/23/2025. Went to dealership on 6/25/2025 they told me that they have an old model part NOT the new updated recall part in stock. Due to safety concerns, I agreed for them to fix my truck, and they explained to me that FCA US LLC would reimburse me the cost, which I did receive the cost back. I have on many different occasions emailed them through their web site asking to be notified about the replacement part for my truck, when available. I have never received any notice until 10/19/2026 stating that my truck has been fixed as of 9/28/2026 and there was nothing else I needed to do. After first call with FCA recall center, they said that my truck was fixed according to their service records. I told them that the new replacement part was never installed and that someone made an error on their end. After talking with them I told them I wanted this escalated to someone higher up. A supervisor called me today 10/21/2026 and basically said the same thing that according to their system, part was fixed. The invoice that I submitted to them for the reimbursement says that the recalled NEW replacement part was not available on 6/25/2025. I have all the documents needed to prove that the parts were never changed with the updated part. I asked them to show me documentation on what dealership said my part was fixed, they said I would have to talk to my dealership, so I did twice with Opelika Ram dealership and they have no record other than the old part being put on 6/25/2025. FCA recall center refused to give me any document or tell me who closed out this recall C4B/the federal safety agency 24V‑896. They however said that they would give me a 2-year warranty on the old part starting on 9/28/2026; it took 7 years for the original part to go bad. My truck is still a safety concern because this Hydraulic Control Unit /ABS can go out at any time.

Since first test driving the truck in March of 2025, there was an issue with the ABS system warning coming on. When that happens, it also disables 4 wheel drive, electronic stability control, cruise control and trailer brakes. The first 3x it happened while NOT towing at about 45mph. Other times it happened while towing a 16,000# trailer which caused vehicle control issues when braking. I did however discover, in a panic, that the manual trailer brake lever still works. The cause of the ABS system shut down was determined to be code: C0037-2F (Left Wheel Speed Sensor Signal Erratic) It has be brought in to the dealer for repair at the following mileages: 4,478, 4,699, 13,790, 14,745 and 16,487 miles. Since then, the wheel speed sensor has been replaced along with the "tone ring" and other components. Most recently, it was determined that the main wiring harness was pinched and (2) wires for that circuit were shorted. The dealer ran (2) new wires outside the wiring harness. The new wire were also NOT sleeved as per SAE vehicle wiring specifications. They "said" they removed the fuel tank to access the repair, however forensic evidence does not support that. There is still undercoating on the bolt threads. It should have been disturbed or worn off when removing the fasteners. After the repair was made, the problem once again came back while towing a smaller 5,000# trailer on 10/4/26 at approximately 16,654 miles. The failure has occurred about 8 times now since the initial repair was made.
