The abs and electrical brake system lights stay on. I-??m worried that this will affect the functioning of the brake system. I-??ve read many posts on forums about this happening to other people. It sounds like a manufacturer defect. I have not brought it to the dealer yet because the cost of repair sounds like a lot of money.

ABS control module is out, code c0020-01 I know 3 other people with the same issue. It is a widespread problem with these rams. Especially in the 2017-2018 years. How can there be a widespread issue like this and there not be a safety recall, seems like an issue with the brake system would be recalled quickly.

ABS System. It is available for inspection. On my 2018 Ram 2500 HD 6.7 Cummins Big Horn the ABS warning lights start flashing and warning alarm will start beeping. This is intermittent, but lately much more constant. The big safety issue is when I'm trailering and the ABS system flashes I lose my trailer braking ability. Also, if I'm on cruise control and the warning light comes on, it drops out of cruise control.

ABS and Traction Control light flashes on and off constantly. Dealer replaced the ABS module while the truck was under warranty, it fixed the truck for around 30 thousand miles. The truck is doing it again and now has no warranty.

ABS warning light flashes then Traction Control will flash with a bing-bong noise. Now a few days later the 2 lights come on at startup and stay on. Bing -Bong noise is intermittent. Cruise Control will no longer engage. Model 2018 2500 Laramie crew cab with 122K miles. My concern is braking when pulling my 5th wheel. I think there is an investigation working right now.

Abs and traction control light goes on and off constantly. When the lights come on, traction control doesn't work, brakes don't worry as they should, and 4x4 doesn't work. Almost caused me to have a wreck in the rain with no traction control.

My vehicle has had the Service Electronic Braking System/Service Antilock Braking System warnings appearing for approximately 6 months, along with the ABS light and Traction Control light being illuminated. It was intermittent at first but has been on steady for the past month. The vehicle has not been to the manufacturer to get inspected yet due to the intermittent nature at first. With the lights being illuminated, I have had a time or two where when the brakes were applied in a quick manner, the abs was not engaged and the tire locked up when a deer ran across the road.

Hello, I have an Anti Lock Brakes electrical motor failure on my vehicle. The motor failed once at 20000 miles and failed again after a warranty replacement at 60000 miles. The part is on national back order for 2 years now and keeps the ABS from being fully engaged. It also disables cruise control and constantly dings. Two Dodge dealerships have confirmed the issue. The code is C0020-01

ABS won't stay engaged causing traction control to not stay engaged and causes cruise control to not stay engaged. Skidding and loss of control are possible without ABS and traction control systems working. Loss of cruise control can cause rear impact from sudden slow down. Same problems are occurring in similar vehicles. Console chimes and ABS and traction control indicator lights come on. Message to service ABS system appears on console.

Have had my truck into the dealer several times to check a hard brake pedal. No error code. When stopping it feels like there is no power brake Assist. It's harder to stop than my old truck with no power brakes especially when pulling my travel trailer. Dealer rep has driven truck an even admitted it was hard to stop. Truck has less than 22 000 miles. email - [XXX] / phone: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
