Bought the truck new in 2018 from Planet Dodgein Miami. One year later (2019)the service braking system light came on. Dealer fixed the issue under the warranty. One and a half years later (2021, same issue and the dealer fixed the issue under the warranty at Napleton Dodge in Clermont Florida. 1.5 years later (2022), same issue. Dealer (Advantage Dodge Mount Dora Florida. said they needed to replace the same parts and added they needed to replace an additional part to correct the issue. This time I was charged $1000. Another year later (10/2023) the same issue and I'm being told by Advantage Dodge in Mount Dora Florida, the warranty will not cover and I have to pay $1500. Dealer told me it should be covered under the original warranty. Gave me the number to warranty (800)992-1997 (Trevor) told me not covered any longer and the dealer should warranty. Called the dealer back and they told me to call the number back. I did and was told a second time and they told me it is no longer under warranty and they (Eta) told me to call a second number (800)521-9922. Called that number and they have me a third number to call (800)765-7732. They told me the dealer should handle the issue and it's not covered under original warranty. Now the dealer will not return my call and they still have my truck.

Intermittent warnings of ABS system needing maintenance while driving. No known cause or correlation to type of road/weather conditions. Intermittent ABS failure affects ability to use cruise control. This started when the truck was at 52k miles. This has been happening for over a year now and we have been told that there is an indefinite timeframe for repair due to massive back orders.

- Belle Chasse, LA, USA

One month after the 3 year warranty ran out the truck issued a "Service ABS System" alert on the instrument panel. Had to replace the ABS Hydraulic Module at the dealer. 2 Years and 2 months, just after the additional warranty ran out, the same part failed again. Same warning on the instrument panel. Again took it to Ram Service at dealer and had it replaced again. This is a faulty part and the replacements are faulty as well. It is happening so often that it is hard for the dealer to find the part.

My ABS HCU sensor has failed and is causing my ABS system, traction control, and cruise control to stop working. Due to the high failure rate of this part RAM / Mopar is refusing to release any available parts for repair until February / March 2024. There are currently 4,000 of these parts in stock on the east coast but the company will not release them until 2024. Instead RAM / Mopar is asking me to continue driving my vehicle for 5 months with a failing ABS system, no traction control, and intermittent 4WD. The component has been inspected by the local RAM dealership and has been determined to be faulty while under warranty.

Vehicle randomly throws error codes on the dashboard. 1. Service Antilock Braking System 2. Service ABS Braking System. When this occurs, an audible chime sounds, and a visual warning warning displays on the digital dashboard covering current speed and other information. Also the cruise control is turned off, and I believe all ABS and Traction control features are disabled. While I have not yet experienced a related accident, I have had several close calls with other vehicles following behind me. By the time I react, they are on or near my tail end and nearly rear ended me. I contacted my local Dodge Ram dealership and they told me that the needed part (hydraulic control unit) has been backordered for nearly 4 years. They cannot disable the warning light nor the audible chime which may sound and flash 15-20 times a minute sometimes. They suggested I contact Mopar customer service, which I did and they ended up transferring me to another dealership that said I had to pay 300 dollars for a diagnostic and it would 2-4 days. If they cannot find the replacement part, I am out of luck on the diagnostic fee. No parts are available.

Almost constant beeping and flashing indicators telling me to "Service Anti-Lock Brake" system. Taken to repair shop and they tell me there is not a fix and there is an engineering stop on the HCU. A code read returns an active C0020-01 code. The brakes do seem to work but the ABS and Traction Control indicators flash constantly with the beeping. I haven't test the ABS functionality but would assume it is not functional based on the indicators.

The service anti lock break system and the service electrical break system warnings keep flashing. The traction control light and the ABS light continuously flash as well.

Service Anti lock Braking System light came on. Took it to the dealer and was told I need a new Hydrolic Control Unit, but dealer can not even order one until February 2024 at the earliest. I now how an unsaved truck I am just stuck with

- Gaithersburg, MD, USA

Hydraulic Control Unit Failed. Yes, it is available for inspection. The hydraulic control module controls the wheel speed and traction control system, without these systems working properly it has caused traction control issues and caused loss of control of the vehicle. Yes, Patriot Dodge and Chrysler in Oakland Md Diagnosed the problem. No, the component has not been inspected! Yes, there were Two lights on the dash (ABS light and Traction control light), Also My Cruse Control would not set the speed. I lost control of my vehicle and fortunately there was no property damage, and no one was injured. If the ABS and Traction control system had been working properly this incident would not have happened. This is definitely a safety issue for these vehicle owner's and the motoring public as well as anyone in the immediate area.

The ABS light comes on intermittently with a message to have braking system serviced. This causes a loss of braking performance, & cruise control. With this happening intermittently, it is impossible to have repaired by dealership. As the error disappears. I had also had this issue with a 2017 RAM 2500 I owned previously.

In October of 2021, my truck indicated an issue with the ABS System and the EBS System. Those two alarms would frequently go off randomly while driving, and also the cruise control would not operate during this state of alarm. It was fixed immediately by a RAM dealership; they replaced the HCU module (hydraulic control unit): part #68143491AA. Almost two years later, in September of 2023, the exact same thing happened and I took it back to the very same dealer; they confirmed the same issue and it would need a replacement HCU again, however I was informed those parts were all removed from inventory as they are being redesigned (fixed) to prevent more issues in the future, as this is a "known" problem. I am awaiting a call from them when the new "fixed" part will be available (it could be months). In the meantime I am driving the vehicle knowing that the ABS braking can go out at any time, thus driving more carefully than normal. It is also worth noting that about one month after the second occurrence of this problem, while driving with a faulty HCU, my brake line on the front driver side wheel (just about one foot from the HCU module) burst while driving and I lost almost all braking in a matter of 5 minutes. That brake line was repaired at my expense. It seems to me that could be related to the HCU issue possibly causing higher than normal pressures in the line. In my opinion, this situation is dangerous and should be raised to the level of a RECALL on that HCU part. Also, RAM should be paying for any such brake issue repairs that their truck owners have had to pay for while operating with this defective part.

- Lafayette, LA, USA

The ABS Motor circuit on my truck is losing power. The issue is this is part of the Hydraulic Control Unit assembly and it is not serviceable without replacing the HCU. Ram does not currently have a solution to this problem. This issue shuts down my Anti-Lock Braking System, traction control and I lose trailer brakes when this system fails. This is a safety issue and a recall needs to be issued for this.

- Cedar Rapids, IA, USA

My abs brake light goes on and off cruise control just stops in the middle of the highway. I was almost hit by an eight wheeler while commuting because of it. I loose traction driving on wet roads. I have taken it to the dealership more than twice to fix the problem. So solution in sight.

- Beggs, OK, USA

My Anti Lock Brakes, Traction control and power steering have gone out repeatedly on this vehicle. The ABS pump HCU unit has failed at 8,433 miles. The same thing failed again at 12,924 miles. As of this complaint the same thing has failed again at 20,000 miles. I have not had it repaired because Ram will not guarantee the new part they put in is not defective, like the original part and the 2 other replacement ABS pump they installed which have failed. I don't drive my this truck that much because without the abs for which the break system on the truck was designed for I feel like it is a danger to myself and others.
