ABS, traction control and BRAKE lights on continuously, took to shop to run diagnostic and was told the problem relates to the actuator leaking into the module which now both need to be replaced. Chrysler dealer states parts are "on back order" and have been for over 6 months due to"re-engineering" issues. Talked to several other Ram owners with same problem to hear they understand Stelantis has no intention of re-engineering due to cost and possible recall responsibility. This is a real safety issue, why has a recall not been initialized?

The ABS, traction control and emergency brake light all turned came up on the dashboard. I believe a past recall May 16, 2018 was of a wiring issue effecting the cruise control. Since all three lights have came on, the cruise control feature is not available for use. This is a concern within the Ram community and needs to be addressed.

Antilock Brake System module has failed, causing the light on the dashboard, along with the traction control light, to stay on. This covers up any braking issues, as I am forced to drive with this light on; as Ram is not selling the ABS module, saying they are under "Engineering evaluation". The problem with my truck cannot be fixed at this time & I am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle. Reported to Ram, but no action taken to recall.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the steering wheel independently veered to the left direction. The brake warning light illuminated. The warning message "Anti-lock brake system service required" was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that there was an unusual burning odor from the exterior and saw an unusual vapor coming from the front driver-side tire. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the front driver-side rotor, caliber, brake pad, and brake hose were replaced. The contact stated that 2 weeks later the passenger side rotor, caliber, brake pad, and brake hose were replaced by another local dealer to balance the other repairs however the failure reoccurred. The first local dealer was contacted however, the contact was advised that the parts needed for the repair were on backorder. The contact reached out to the second unknown local dealer for a second opinion and they advised the contact that the part was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

ABS Modular is malfunctioning and recommended to be replaced. I have been waiting 1.5 years for this part and continue to be told it-??s not available. My check engine light continues to be on and my car does not function as it should. The part is identified as needing to be fixed but no parts available. I-??ve called multiple states and made over 100 calls over the year. I am stuck with a car not functioning correctly and told by RAM that I just need to wait. Thousands of people are waiting for this part I am told and other years have been recalled but not my year somehow. This is dangerous and my hands are tied. I am putting my family in danger daily driving or am out 20+k on a vehicle I can-??t drive. This is ridiculous and not a decision I thought I-??d have to make with a well known company like Ram.

Service ABS Brake, Service Electronic Brake Throttle, Service Electronic Trailer Brake & Standard Brake dash lights are illuminated at all times. I have no Anti Lock Braking & Sway /Stability Control Light is on and I have No Stability nor anti sway control. This disrupts the Cruise Control from working. It has been confirmed by a local trusted mechanic shop. The Warning Lights have been on since June 2024. This is dangerous especially in rain and wet conditions. The truck has no traction control and fish tails at the slightest turn during acceleration.

ABS Control Module failed and manufacture has not had a replacement available for at least a year and a half, they were supposed to be available March 2024 and that date has been pushed back every month. No one makes an aftermarket module either. Not having ABS on a Truck in Florida is very dangerous.

ABS, Brake, and traction light came on. Took my vehicle to dealership for diagnostic. The dealership stated it was caused by internal failure to ABS module and HCU. Parts are not available for repair due to parts engineering approval. This is a safety issue were the brakes could fail. Manufacturers should be responsible for repairs and recall vehicles for safety issues. How can the dealership say ABS is unavailable to order.

ON [XXX], I brought my truck to the dealer because the ABS light and traction control light were staying on. The dealer hooked it up to their diagnostic machine and it said the vehicle a Failed ABS Control Module. The dealer said that part was not available to April of 2024. I went back in April to the Dealer, Part still not Available! I called Ram Corporate and they said the part was in engineering. Today (August 22,2024) Ram Corporate called and said the part is at the dealer. (11months of waiting). I asked why wasn't there a recall on this item? i was very disappointed in the Ram Corporation. I felt like they should of covered the cost for this item. So now I'm writing this message to see if anyone else has this same issue, thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My truck, like those of numerous other Ram owners, has a malfunctioning ABS Control Module. Because of this malfunction, the ABS and cruise control do not work. In turn, this places me and other owners of this vehicle in an unsafe situation in that lack of an operating ABS system is conducive to skidding and accidents. Some owners have even reported that they cannot drive their vehicles due to locked brakes which resulted from this malfunction. I have a standing Brake, ABS, Anti Skid light and no Cruise control. All symptoms of a failed ABS Module. New Repair parts are not available from the Dealers or other Repair shops. Many trucks and drivers are at risk especially in winter weather or rain slick roads.

They told me that I needed a new ABS module but they were on back order. They have given many date where they were suppose to have them back in stock and all have come and gone. Since September 2023 I have checked with them and the date keep moving all the while my cruise control do not work. This is an issue, can you please help?
