ABS service light continually comes on and service antilock brake system light comes on daily. This seems to be an ongoing problem with all 2017 ram 2500 trucks there should be a recall on this Since it-??s been a problem for 5 to 6 years

ABS brake system error, brake module failure
- Marion, IA, USA
Continuous issues with ABS light and traction control light coming on, and steering not turning left at times.
- Pipe Creek, TX, USA
A sensor in the ABS braking system went out. We attempted to get it fixed in September but were told the part was unavailable until February due to the fact that Ram was having to reengineer the part. We personally know 5 people who have had to replace this sensor. The service manager at the dealership told us that it was a very common problem. We have been driving for months with no ABS. Shouldn-??t this safety issue be a recall? If the sensor had to be reengineered, Ram obviously knows it-??s a problem.

I own a 2017 Ram the electronic breaking system light kept coming on when I had about 34000 miles on it but I had it over the 3 year period for warranty. Paid dealership about $1200 to get it fixed. Again at about 45,000 miles it started it again. Checked with dealer said it would cost about $1400 to get corrected and they would have to wait for parts. I see a lot of others have had the same problem with that model. I feel as lot of others, this should be a recall item. Also cruise control want work when light is on. Ram is going to wait until someone has a wreck and a fatality before they do anything about this issue. Also there will be a class action suit against them and they will be plenty follow. Hope how soon Ram decides to honor this defective issue.

MULTIPLE repetitive ABS/HCU failures starting in 2022. Truck has for the most part been sitting since then due to unavailability of parts, reengineering of parts and now again lack of availability of parts. Should we have encountered an emergency braking situation we would could have experienced, increased stopping distance, loss of steering control and significantly reduced traction. This ABS/HCU also causes us to lose trailer brake controller and our truck is primarily for towing. Which is why ABS was mandated for all vehicles in 2011.

ABS and traction control lights come on.
- Red Bank , NJ, USA
Intermittent service electronic brake system message/ABS system service required message on dashboard. Truck has less than 32,000 miles on it.
- Roseville , CA, USA
The ABS and Traction control lights began to flash and the alarm began to come on intermittently in 2021. I took the truck to the dealer for repairs because the ABS, Traction Control and Cruise Control were not working. The repair cost was $1,00 at my expense. The problem has recently returned and is going to need repaired at my expense again. The ABS system not working causes a safety concern with stopping the vehicle. This is a know issue with these vehicles as such I feel it should be the manufactures responsibility for repairs.

Have had the service electronic braking system going off and on now for about 8 months now and have been waiting on a recall but that hasn't happened so here i am filing a complaint. My cruise and anti slip does not work while these warnings are on the dash.This defect could lead to the brake failure

Service antilock break system warning lights for the second time now. Replaced abs control module and hydraulic control unit at 51000 miles now at 56000 they are bad again. 1400.00$ in less than a year to keep my breaks working as they should with no recall on parts
- Rising Fawn, GA, USA
My truck has a failure of the ABS system to include the cruise control. This failure has resulted in the brakes locking during slick conditions and the vehicle to slide. I was not going fast so there was not crash. My truck is showing a code coc0020-10 (ABS pumpmotor control-general failure). This failure was repaired (replaced the HCU) by the dealership on 10/06/2020 and this temporarily fixed this issue. In 2022 this issue started again, and I contacted the dealership and was referred to Ram customer support. Ram customer support told me that the HCU was under engineering review and the review should be completed by Aug 2023. At last check there has been no new part number to replace the defective parts. I feel this issue should be fixed with a mandatory recall.
