Anti lock brake system has intermittent Error code. Been living with this for two years. In the beginning, no-parts available from factory. Error can flash many time in and out during any driving period. Code C0020-01 'ABS Pump Motor Control-General Electric Failure. Dealer only repairs, however they cannot get parts. Was told this today. 9-12-2024 No recall from Ram/Chrysler/Fiat. $60k for a truck, the manufacturer takes no responsibility. Thousands have reported this issue over many years of production. I can't say this LOUD enough; This is a BRAKE system failure!

On November 9, 2022 I had the Control-Anti-Lock Breaking System repaired by Bob Moore Chrysler Dodge in Tulsa. They replaced the HCU and performed a base bleed of the brake and ABS breaking system. This repair was prompted by the vehicles ABS warning light and chimes activating during operation. As of September 3, 2024 the same ABS warning light and chime is again activating during operation. I paid $620 the first time to get this issued repaired and I do not feel that I should have to pay this again on a part/system that is obviously defective from the manufacture. My research into this issue shows this is a common issue on these models as well as a possible safety problem.

ABS / traction control as well as service ABS system. At times it comes and goes and most times now it stays on. Disables cruise control and at times even says 4 wheel drive unavailable. This seems to be a known issue with my year model Ram and I'd like to remedy this issue asap.

Antilock Brake System Warning and Traction Control lights on dash with associated warning chime. Was also given the warning that 4X4 is not available. The warning occurred on a return multi-day trip. The warning interrupted cruise control causing it to turn off and unable to reengage. After a brief fuel stop and the trip continued the warnings disappeared after a few miles. The warnings then reappeared with the associated disengagement on the cruise control. A few more stops were made and the warnings persisted never going out after restart. Reading forums on the internet seems to indicate this is a persistent issue with numerous reports the the NTSB. The Vehicle has approximately 75,000 mile and was place in service in early 2018.

2017 Ram 2500 crew cab ABS light on know traction control light on will not engage in 4x4 because ABS light on Code said ABS C0020-01 ding, ding, ding, ding always.
- Islip Terrace, NY, USA
ABS/traction control lights keep coming on due to something wrong in the ABS HCU and/or control module with fault code C0020. It is my understanding that almost all 2017/2018 2500s & 3500s are affected. This needs to be a recall.
- Clayton, NC, USA
ABS and traction control light flashing randomly. Causing cruise control to shut off randomly. Caused by faulty ABS modal, and or HCU. This is a know major issue with 2017 rams with parts not even currently available to fix.
- Oak Ridge, MO, USA
ABS failure code. Very inconsistent. Has been repaired yet still throws the code when it rains or hitting a bump. Frustrating
- Durango , CO, USA
Dash warning lights service abs brakes and 4 wheel drive and cruise control doesn't work with the lights on. Mopar does not have the parts or nohow to fix this.
- Durant, OK, USA
Truck has had two ABS units replaced under warranty for the code C0020-01. Now a year after the last replacement the code has come back and needs the ABS unit replaced again. FCA knows there is an issue with these and continue to sell and install parts that they know will fail. This will cause the loss of ABS braking, traction control and trailer braking. Someone need to force FCA to provide a "correct" repair and ungraded parts for this error.
- Mount Olive, AL, USA
The vehicle has an intermittent ABS TCS warning that Dodge refuses to recall and fix. The warning light goes off incessantly it should be a recall and Dodge has known about the problem for 7 years at a minimum.

- Punta Gorda, FL, USA
ABS LIGHTS AND TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHTS INDICATE PROBLEM. ERROR CODE IS : ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM C0020-01 I am not protected from the anti-lock brake system that could potentially save my passengers and my life.I am no longer able to use cruise control as I paid for. online states parts are unavailable. Cost of fixing should be covered by manufacture as I have less than 40,000 miles on my truck and have it serviced regularly.

The anti locking brake light comes on and goes off all of the time. It's very annoying with it ringing when the light comes on.
- Pulaski, TN, USA
Service ABS Electronic Braking System Message, ABS as well as Traction Control light intermittently coming on and shutting off, Sometimes staying illuminated awhile then going back to coming on Intermittently. Took to shop and ran diagnostic trouble codes on truck. The trouble codes saying ABS/HCU Pump Module Electrical Failure. Recommended fix is to replace ABS Pump Module. I am aware of the class action lawsuit and this same issue on most all 2017-2018 Ram 2500 trucks. The problem I am presented with now is, The ABS Pump Module is on national back order which is making it extremely difficult to find a replacement. I am now left with a truck that is unsafe to drive as a father and husband due to the vehicles Antilocking Brake System not functioning at all as well as the Traction Control System not functioning at all. Due to these issues when I am forced to operate the truck for commute to and from work and day to day purposes I am now putting my family, myself and everyone on the road at risk as there is no immediate solution to the problem at hand. This is wildly unacceptable just as well as it is wrong in every aspect to be put in the position that I could possibly injure or kill another family on the road simply because this issue is going through political channels and I have not other option but to continue to operate the vehicle for day to day life.
