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

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.

ABS and traction control light. Continue to flash on and off cruise control will not work when light is on and traction control does not work. One light is on.

ABS Traction control lights

ABS light and traction control lights display, as well as flashing messages -??Service ABS System-?? and -??Service Electronic Braking System-?? when weather is wet or when I hit a bump or pothole in the road. Dealer states the ABS module and hydraulic control unit needs replaced and that the ABS system could lock up during emergency braking and suggested not driving. Parts are backordered until July 2024.

Fault: "Service Anti-Lock Brake System" warning light appears intermittently Fault Code: C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control General Electric Failure - The above problem resulted in unexpected loss of ABS brake control, loss of Traction control and 4-wheel drive during hazardous driving conditions where these features are highly required, causing us to narrowly avoid pedestrians and other nearby vehicles. - We have discovered multiple complaints of this mechanical error with vehicles of the same model, year and make. Pressure to have the manufacture recall vehicles with this problem has been enacted with no resolution to date. See RAM Technical Service Bulletin #S2005000004

My abs module has a fault code on my dash with the light staying on. I went to my dealership to get the part replaced for my safety and after ordering one and paying for it in December 2023 they are now finding out their is none available and will not be available to order until June 2024, with no guarantee they will be available then What is one to do under these circumstances the is something the company needs to address NOW!!! Not whenever they feel like it. From what I-??ve read online this seems to be a major problem that many people that own these vehicles are dealing with Hopefully you help me with this situation Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Picked up my truck from the dealership and my ABS, and traction control light came on, and i lost my abs function and traction control. The my dash started flickering and it would go in and out. Now my heat also has stopped working. Truck is saying service abs system, service electronic braking, service rear park sensor. I do not feel safe in this vehicle as i did my research and see how many vehicles have been affected, i cannot believe Ram has not done a recall as with out my abs i almost slid off the road as it was icy out that day and i was unaware my abs would just stop like that.

During a snow storm, ABS and traction control lamps came on. The truck would not come to a controlled stop. After much sliding and skidding it came to a stop by hitting a snow abatement and curb line.

On approximately 7/20/2021 service anti lock brakes and service traction control warning lights and beeper were activated. The warranty had just expired due to date not mileage. Upon investigating on line I found this was a wide spread problem with no recall at this time. The fix is to replace antilock brake pump at a cost of 800 to 1,500 $. Dodge could not tell me if the part was upgraded or they are installing a newer version. They also would require a $250 scan after I supplied them a code on my scanner that identifies the same problem and a code. Now the warning lights go on and off on rough roads but mostly stays lit. I don-??t know how much of a safety issue this is but apparently I don-??t have traction control when the light is lit. As of a couple months ago the parts were not available.

ABS light goes on and off. C0020-01-ABS code internal failure. Cruise control goes in and out when code comes on. Brake pedal inconsistent.No parts available to fix this concern.

I have an ABS light on and a traction control light. I understand this is a problem with 2017 Ram 2500 and the 2018 Ram 2500. It is my understanding from the dealer it will cost over $1,000 for the repair so that my brakes will work properly. Vehicle has less than 87,000 miles on it. I feel this should be brought to your attention. This is a safety issue for all affected vehicles. Ram knows about the issue and has failed to address the problem. I feel this should be corrected immediately. This is a safety issue for the motoring public.

The ABS brake system has failed and been replaced 3 times now and it is bad again. It needs to be recalled. The truck only has 53,000 miles

I keep getting the ABS/Traction control warning lights and aural dinging warning on my 2017 Diesel Ram 2500. I pull a 10,000 LB trailer and without this feature, this is a hazard and danger to me, my occupants in my truck and other motorists on the highway. I do 95% of my driving in the mountains so it is a very crucial, critical and dangerous situation when I don't have ABS operating. If there is ever an accident, Dodge is open to a law suit because there hasn't been a recall on this. I've read several other owners of this vehicle with the same issue. Please have Dodge company do a recall for everyone's safety.
