in 2022 the abs and traction control lights began to come on together, leading to loss of ABS and traction control in addition to not being able to use the cruise control. Vehicle was taken to the dealer to be serviced and they stated they would replace the HCU but would not replace the ABS module as they would only address one thing at a time. The problem continues to persist with the constant alarm ding and loss of abs and traction control as the lights continue to flash on the dash. This is a safety issue as you don't know when you'll have abs or traction control and if it happens while driving with the cruise control on, it abruptly shuts down the cruise control.

my family and I were on a trip out of town in the fall, this oct, when suddenly as we were braking and the trucks break system started flashing on and off saying service brakes failure antilock the bells kept chiming we were scared to death with bell chiming on and off and lights flashing on the dash we stopped along the side of a busy highway camper and all and go what is going on should we continue or make a call for help. I shut the engine off and started it back up and everything was fine. so we started down the road and it returned after a couple of miles so we did this over and over but finally it just kept dinging until we made it home now two weeks later have not driven the truck now two weeks later. found out that this truck has a history of this. by the way this truck only has 13000 miles on it not driven in winters and all highway use. yes but out of warranty with a dangerous breaking issue at again 13000 miles

ABS / TRACTION CONTROL dash light error. Light code C0020-01. ABS CONTROL MODULE.

- Camdenton, MO, USA

While driving the service ABS System/ Traction control dash warning message appears on the screen & chimes at the same time. The cruise control then shuts off. At first it was intermittent then it was almost all the time. With winter coming soon the ABS/Traction control will be much needed. After going online, it seems like this is a common problem with 2017-2018 Rams. After going to a Ram dealer in my area they replaced the HCU/ABS pump. I feel that if this is a common problem it should be addressed with a recall to avoid potential vehicle control problems

The ABS/Traction lights/Bell keeps alarming on my dash. The ABS HCU needs to be replaced. I have found out from research on line that RAM knows about this and chooses to do nothing about it. It mainly affects the 2017 and 2018 RAM 2500's. They switched manufactures for the ABS/HCU during those two years and the parts are inferior and constantly fail causing the ABS to be inoperable causing a serious safety concern.

ABS and traction control warning lamps and messages appear with chime on and off message Service brakes system needed ABS only 26,400 miles

- Marysville, WA, USA

Warning lights for ABS and traction control coming on with message to 'Service Electronic Braking System'. During this time the ABS does not work and cruise control stops working. Being a 2500 vehicle, it is commonly used for towing trailers as it has a towing capacity up to ~16K lbs. Suddenly not having ABS and traction control is dangerous. In July 2024 I was driving from Phoenix, AZ to East Texas with a ~10K lbs trailer and this issue suddenly started popping up. This is the first time I experienced this with this vehicle. I understand there is a known issue with the hydraulic control unit and the ABS modules for 2017-2018 2500 & 3500 models yet there has been no recall on these vehicles.

UNKNOWN Service electronic ABS system light intermittently comes on and off hundreds of times in a ten mile drive. I am reporting this due to finding out that this problem is affecting many many other 2018 Ram owners.

- Chillicothe , OH, USA

I am getting a warning saying to service the anti lock brakes and the traction control. I have had this same issue before and paid the dealership to fix it. Also when the warning appears the cruise control shuts off. I am concerned about the loss of control of the vehicle.

- Anderson, TX, USA

The ABS dash light and traction control light started coming on about a year ago. the light is intermittent with a ding sound. Some days it comes on non stop, sometimes it doesn-??t come on at all. cruise control does not work, and -??park rear-?? button is not able to get out of the off mode.

- Smicksburg, PA, USA

The abs and electronic brake control lights keep going off and no abs it also shuts cruise control off when light come on. I pull a trailer a lot and brakes lock up and no abs. Very dangerous, almost rear ended a vehicle on the interstate because traffic stopped all a sudden. Cannot believe there isn-??t a safety recall yet there are numerous complaints about this problem.

Intermittent Electronic Brake System and ABS Failure messages. Been dealing with this issue for over a year now. Dealership told me I had to wait almost a year before there would be a fix and that-??s if I-??m lucky. The ABS pump motor and the software are both faulty and Ram is aware of how to fix it, and haven-??t. There needs to be a recall for issue, ASAP.

ABS module failure, only 63000 km had to pay $1038.19 to have it replaced at Parksville Dodge Jeep and $194.14 to read the code that we already had done at another auto shop. I have a case number [XXX]. I have sent many screen shots of other owners having problems, websites, recalls, 22v140000, 24v4150000. The ABS sensor came on our extended warranty ended in November 2023, we took it to a mechanic shop and the code C0020-01 came up (no parts only Chrysler can replace hmm that-??s a problem why?)we then phoned Chrysler in Parksville and took it in and they showed same code and said needed to order part only one was in Red Deer Alberta. This is obviously an issue with this truck as there is a class action suit alleging FCA breached its warranty by using ABS and HCU modules of subpar quality known to be unfit for ordinary purpose and not disclosing this issue to customers at the time of purchase. These modules are prone to premature failure due to defective materials used in their manufacture. The lawsuit states FCA knew about the defect thru extensive pre-sale testing and numerous NHTSA complaints, there is a Technical Service Bulletin regarding the faulty ABS and HCU, despite issuing the TSB, FCA failed to issue a recall. The hearing is scheduled for December 17, 2024. We would like all costs associated with the replacement of this module paid for by Chrysler Canada. I want a recall issued for my vehicle and a cheque to reimburse me as this is clearly an issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I'm getting warning lights to service abs system and traction control, also cruise control and 4 wheel wheel drive will not engage. Dealer replaced abs control module while truck was under warranty and now at 58000 miles I'm having the same problem as I did when it was fixed earlier. This is a safety Hazzard and a recall needs to be done because theses vehicles were built for towing heavy loads and you loose your abs and traction control when trying to stop heavy loads.

- Mineral Wells, WV, USA

Driving on interstate highway with cruise control engaged. Experienced rapid deceleration as cruise control disengaged without driver input. Received anti-lock braking error / service electronic braking system error. Was very dangerous situation to have occur unexpectedly and could have easily resulted in rear end collision or loss of control of vehicle. Received no warning prior to this failure. Issue has been sporadic but occurring more frequently. Vehicle has less effective braking in adverse road conditions. Never know when the anti lock brake system will be functional. A bump or vibration in the road can cause it to engage or disengage. Ram dealer service dept indicates Hydraulic Control Unit needs to be replaced. Looking online, I see this is an exceptionally common occurence in same year/make vehicles. So much so that the replacement part is backordered for months.

While driving the PU with my camper in tow, the ABS and Service electronic bakes system warning were displayed on my dash. Then they went out. This process repeated several times over the next 3-4 minutes. Then the warning lights came on and stayed on. It remained that way until I parked on the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. I checked the undercarriage for any signs of any visible damage to the braking system. None was readily identifiable. Upon restarting the vehicle, all warning lights were extinguished. I proceeded to the campgrounds with out further warnings on this system. The next day, with out the camper in tow, the warning lights were again active flashing on and off for a period of about 3-4 minutes before they again came on and stayed on. This process repeated itself as I would turn off the vehicle and then restart it. Upon parking for the evening they were still on. When I started again the next day, they were off.

ABS/traction control warning lights and alarm intermittently on and off during driving, speed control does not work during the alarm cycle. ABS not working when warning comes

- Summertown, TN, USA

It's clear that my abs module is bad but it consists of three components. Mopar online doesn't have any components available to fix the problem. And the Dealer is selling the components separately and telling you which one they will sell you first and also at a higher price than what's available to you online

There seems to be an issue with my ABS and Electronic Braking System, because both lights are blinking on and off saying to service them. It started while I was driving down a gravel road, then will shut off and back on. I drove nearly 500 miles with the ABS and Electronic Braking System sending me this message off and on again. I noticed when it was on that my ABS was not working properly, but when the light was off it was. I tested it several times to verify that it worked when the lights was off and that it didn't when the lights were on.
