ABS and traction control lights came on. Brought to my mechanic and they spoke with Dodge who started they put a freeze on selling the parts and currently have no fix.
- Ware, MA, USA
ABS Traction Control Failure. Dash lights come on ABS and Traction Control do not work after that. This started as an intermittent issue and now the lights are on all the time and there is no longer any ABS or Traction Control on the truck which I feel is a major safety issue for this truck especially when pulling a loaded trailer.
- Raleigh, NC, USA
Intermittent failure of ABS system. Causing cruise control to suddenly shut off at highway speeds as well as having a non-functioning ABS system.
- Buda, TX, USA
Like most other owners I too have the annoying ABS failure and traction control lights dinging on and off constantly. So no traction control or ABS. You also lose cruise control We are paying for a recall as the dealers want $2000 to $2500
- Cumming, GA, USA
On 8/10/2024 at 3.10 PM while traveling 68 mph on an interstate, the vehicle started displaying Service Electronic Brake System and Antilock Brake Failure warnings. This also shut off the cruise control system, causing a sudden and unexpected loss of forward momentum. The warnings would reset and then come on randomly while travelling.
- Williamsburg, VA, USA
ABS and Electronic braking system error. Traction control not working due to system malfunction.
- Kawkawlin, MI, USA
The ABS system module has failed leaving me with a large truck and no anti-lock brakes or stability control. This is a known issue on my truck (I found out on line) putting people in danger. The parts are back-ordered and they want $2300 to fix it. My truck has <60K miles on it. The warning lights are on and the dealer told me to just "pump my brakes" if the lock up - like "in the old days before abs." Please make them issue and recall. This is very unsafe.
- Jacksonville Beach, FL, USA
Got an ABS fault for a corrupt hydraulic brake unit. So I replaced the unit at the cost of $200.. once replaced I still had an ABS light, traction control light, Brake light. Reading the codes it would tell me that both rear wheel speed sensors failed to compare. Ultimately I got a check engine light for wheel speed sensor 1 failure. So when I rest the code it clears the lights and I lose the speedometer for 25 plus miles. Also renders the 4x4 feature useless on the truck. I took it to the dealership on 8/8/2024 and they attempted to do an update to the ABS module. After the update I lost the speedometer again. I was told that the ABS module will need replaced at the cost of $600 plus labor and program time.

The electronic braking system/abs light/traction control light constantly comes on and off every few seconds when driving. Having intermittent loss of anti lock braking system is a hazard.
- Bradenton, FL, USA
The ABS module and HCU are failing on these trucks. They-??re causing the brakes to lock up, and the traction control system to automatically turn off, disables cruise control, and there are thousands of reports of this all over the internet.
- Lumberton, TX, USA
The ABS and Electronic braking system has failed in this vehicle. While driving the vehicle, the ABS light will cycle on and off consistently. When the light is activated, the cruise control also becomes ineffective. It has been determined to be the ABS Module failing. This truck only has 100,000 miles on it. When I contacted multiple dealerships, they informed me that they cannot order a replacement part as they do not exist from the manufacture anymore. There are no aftermarket options. After contacting Fiat Chrysler Association (FCA) they informed me the parts were pulled from dealerships and they are under engineering review for replacements with no timeline available. This is a 10,000 lbs vehicle with a 16,000lb tow rating. It is unacceptable for this to continue failing on a truck that when combined with a trailer can be totaling 26,000lbs. If this system fails while towing, the result will be deadly to anyone involved. I've spoken with hundreds of others with this same failure on the same truck. It is unacceptable that we cannot drive our trucks safely, we cannot fix them because parts don't exist, and we cannot sell them because they are undriveable and unfixable.
- Montgomery, TX, USA
Driving in normal conditions.. even leaving my driveway ABS light comes on and traction control light comes on. and flashes randomly. Sometimes in doesn't come on for a bit but then will flicker on and off.
- Goshen, IN, USA
The ABS light and stabilizer light stay on along with the chime. It turns the cruise control off. The brake module/ABS/Hydraulic control unit is out and no parts and not going to be made per Ram dealers. This is a known issue with nothing done

ABS light and traction control lights are on and off with the service light on dash on and off.When the abs light and traction light comes on it also disables the cruse control to the off position. Performance is totally reduced ! Vehicle shows active code C0020 for ABS pump motor control general electric failure..Diagnostic issued said to replace the hydraulic control unit. The problem was inspected by the Ram dealer and was reproduced by the tech and is currently being repaired by the Ram dealer. We were notified the complete unit was not available and only the possibility of the control motor was available at this time at a cost of $1400 give or take. When the cruise control kicks out in traffic you go from the posted speed limit to 0 if not caught immediately. Mileage 53,500
