Similar to the 2019 & newer Ram HD recall for the ABS electronic control module, my 2018 Ram 2500 has the same issue. It was recently diagnosed at the dealer in August 2023, but due to the abundance of impacted trucks, the dealer estimates that replacement parts will not be available until at least February 2024. While I wait for the repair I have no ABS, traction control, stability control, or cruise control. I drive the truck approximately 750 to 1,000 miles per week and have a 3,000 mile vacation planned in October. This translates to driving the truck approximately 15,000 to 20,000 miles without the above noted safety features. I believe my truck should be added to the recall, and RAM needs to step up and provide faster repairs.

I had my HCU pump fail 3 times previously(68143491AB, HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT Anti-Lock Brake System), now the dealer is telling me that I need to buy another module (68347098AB Module, Anti-Lock Brake system Electronic Stability Controller) in addition to the failed part for them to repair my vehicle (Tech told me its on a service bulletin, although my unit is not bad). The dealer told me if I got the parts they could repair my vehicle, so I bought the HCU. Shortly after they said a technical bulletin is telling them that they need to replace an additional module when they replace the HCU, which is not available until February 2024. If they diagnose my truck (which they did), and provide me with a receipt I would have to pay the diagnostic fee of $160, and they would not be able to release my truck until the repair was made. I can not have my truck at a dealership for 5 months waiting for a part to be available. Is there anything that can be done about this? I do trade shows and need a truck to carry my products.

ABS control module is malfunctioning for the second time. Was replaced at approximately 25000 miles. Now is failing again at 48000 miles. ABS braking and traction control is affected.

- Waterloo, SC, USA

Truck is showing service message "Service Electronic Braking System" and "Service Anti-Lock Brake System". Service message comes and goes constantly, chiming and making cruise control unusable. Several times I have almost had a collision on the interstate because the vehicle will drop out of cruise control expectantly. I have researched the issue and the required replacement parts are on national back order until Jan/Feb of 2024. So not only do I have to listen to the dang chiming noise, I don't have fully functioning ABS or Traction Control. This is a serious issue that RAM needs to deal with. I know an investigation is underway already: Preliminary Evaluation PE22-012. Please add my complaint to the growing list of RAM owners facing this serious issue.

My original ABS HCU pump has been replaced 2 times, and now 11 months later it needs a 3rd one. First one went at 60K, second one 93K, 3rd one at 120K and now I do not have ABS, Traction control or cruise control.

The ABS module and/or HCU on my truck is bad causing me to lose ABS functionality. The ABS light comes on and a tone alerts me to the problem. This normally happens randomly, and the problem comes and goes. The cost to repair looks to be around $1600 from the dealer. With this being such a safety issue, it seems reasonable for a recall to be put into place to address the issue. The issue is further complicated because there is a new and improved version of these parts, but the new parts have been on backorder.

ABS system keeps failing. Loose ABS, traction control, and 4 wheel drive. Part has been replaced 3 times already. 4th part is having issues

- Miami, FL, USA

My abs keeps going on and off repeatedly. This is what I have read in many forums. I don't understand why there hasn't been a recall for the part. The module is flawed and I believe there is a class action lawsuit. Apparently there is a back order until 2024 and I do not wish to put the same broken part in my $70,000 truck! I just want my truck fixed.

For the third time in 37000 miles the abs system including ABS system and electronic brake system has failed. This has been repaired around 15000 miles and recently at 35000 and it went out again at 37000 miles. Didn't last 2500 miles after last repair. When this happens trailer brakes quit functioning and cruise control also quits working as well as every few minutes the system gives you a continuous warning chime. From checki9ng a few web sites this seems to be an on going problem on the 2018 trucks mostly but a few 17s. Last info I have is parts are not avail for repairs until at least 2/24 and then only maybe. The truck is unsafe to drive especially when towing a larger trailer. This needs to be made a recall for safety concerns. I had to trade off my truck due to how I use it and no expectation for a repair time or date.

My ABS Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) Part Number 68143491AA seems to have failed and it seems as it is a very common problem which needs to be addressed by RAM. My ABS is not working, my traction control is not working, and my cruise control is not working. While I drive it constantly goes on and off and chimes over and over and over. This is VERY dangerous to not have the braking or traction control not working and is putting me and my family in danger. This needs to be a recall. Not to mention the part that needs to be replaced is on national backorder and you can't even get it. Please help.
