ABS & Traction light flickers and stays on. Brakes have pulsed. This is very dangerous for my family and myself. Ram wants to charge me $$ for a manufacturing defect that they are all to aware of. This not fare.

HCU / ABS module issues. Truck while driving has no cruise control my lights stay illuminated all the time, truck only has 57,000 miles and already repaired all 4 abs wheel speed censors, spent countless hours visibly checking all wires and fuses make sure no defects there. This could be a very dangerous and life threatening situation and I would think it's only right for Dodge Ram to recall the 2017-2018 for this ABS issue.

The Anti-Lock Brake control module along with the Hydraulic control unit is failing. At any rate of speed, the traction control light and the ABS light comes on and off repeatedly. When this happens, the cruise control disengages which has cause the truck to slow down rapidly in heavy traffic causing other drivers to almost rear end my pregnant wife, 3 year old son and I. I had my local ram dealer pull the Diagnostic Trouble Codes and confirmed that the parts stated above, were in fact failing. The messages that pop up on the instrument cluster are -??Service Anti-Lock Brake system-?? and -??Service Electronic Brake System-??. I can not have this component inspected as it is a daily driver and is the only vehicle we have currently.

- Kingfisher, OK, USA

The ABS, traction control, cruise control and 4x4 no longer function. It started intermittently and now is constant. The vehicle is available for inspection. After a hard stop the abs won-??t engage and I lost traction of the truck. There are two warning lamps that are on at all times (abs and traction control). It has been ongoing for almost 1 year and 10,000 miles or so.

- Carpinteria, CA, USA

Driving down the highway with the cruise control set and all of a sudden the cruise control stops working and my dash is dinging with service ABS system and service Electronic Brake System. The truck had 78,500 miles when this first happened. Now it does it intermittently while driving down the road. I notice there-??s no recalls and it sound like a large problem. Haven-??t taken it to a dealer yet.

- Wagoner, OK, USA

At 36,000 miles have been told I need to replace ABS pump control general electrical failure. Also replace ABS module. Parts are not available and are on backorder. I pull a 25 foot camper and this issue is causing concern with vehicle stopping. Apparently is a big problem as parts are not available and dealers that have part will not release parts so my truck can be fixed.

- Stanwood, MI, USA

ABS module system has been replaced twice.. needs to be replaced again per Dodge tech. No parts available. Unsafe to drive vehicle with no power brakes This is not unique to my truck. various individuals having same problem with same model Electrical Instrument cluster with display has been replaced and currently working.

- Yoakum, TX, USA

About every 10 to 15 seconds an alarm sounds and warning sign blinks on dash with message to service anti-braking system and traction control. If cruise control was engaged it disengages and sometimes will not reset until engine is turned off and restarted. Vehicle seems to have braking issues, especially on wet pavement. Brake pads have been checked and are ok. Vehicle odometer has 34102 miles on it..

- Onalaska, TX, USA

While applying the breaks the vehicle will deactivate ABS and force the vehicle to slide without control. ABS will turn off and on without warning. While using cruse control abs will deactivate and cause cruse control to stop working, causing the vehicle to slow unexpectedly. This has happed while towing a goose neck trailer causing additional pressure on vehicle when sudden loss of cruise control and abs.

- Rochester, NY, USA

The ABS, Service Electronic Brakes, and traction control warning alert constantly goes on and off while driving, deactivating cruise control as well. It does it all speeds, in all gears, including on the highway, at 70, in traffic. This is especially problematic in the rain, as I don't know if the ABS will work or not. The alert goes on, resets and goes off, then goes on, then resets, constantly. Sometimes for the duration of the trip, sometimes once or twice. This has been happening since September 2022, for eight months now. The anti-lock brakes or electronic brake system MAY NOT WORK; The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center; The vehicle has not been inspected outside the independent service center; No warning lamps or other symptoms prior to this failure.

- Cypress, TX, USA

Intermittent failure of ABS/hcu resulting in no ABS, cruise control, or traction control. Unable to find the part in question, dealers wanting nearly $2000 for repair on unacceptable timeline. Unable to haul significant loads with truck (I.e. camper or equipment/trailers). Doing research I found that this is a very common problem with this truck and no recall was ever issued. Hcu parts are now restricted and extremely expensive if one does manage to find one. Class action lawsuits initiated against Chrysler in California. This issue has been known about for years now and should be made known to anyone thinking of buying a Ram. I love the truck but it is unsafe and incredibly difficult to repair at this time causing significant headaches for my family.

- Meridian, MS, USA

ABS lights flashing on dash, intermittent at times, sometimes all the time. Deactivates cruise and traction control. Dangerous when hauling loads. Sudden loss of cruise almost caused an accident.

- Oneida, TN, USA

Intermittent ABS, EBS and traction control issues causing spurious warnings and loss of cruse control. The alerts are distracting to the driver, loss of ebs/abs represents safety issues while traveling, as does the loss of traction control and cruse control. Dealer has diagnosed the issue to the respective abs/ebs controllers but reports no parts in inventory and no due date for when they will be available. Formally request NHTSA force a recall to require the mfg to correct the issue expeditiously.

There has not been an accident. Hopefully it won't come to that! This needs to be addressed

- Spruce Pine, NC, USA

The ABS light is on, states it needs to be fixed, we were told by our mechanic that this is a known issue. HCU unit fail and throws service ABS light. Cruise control does not work due to this issue. This started last November and are waiting for parts for the repairs. The truck only had around 74,000 miles when this started. Our repairs are going to be over $1200 to fix. This is crazy, Ram should be recalling these trucks and paying for the repairs.

- Ingalls, MI, USA

The vehicle experiences intermittent fault displays for "electronic brake service" and "ABS Service". This causes the vehicle to suddenly come out of cruise control and slow dramatically. This causes the vehicles ABS safety function to be inoperative reducing the overall braking capability and increasing the safe stopping distance This causes traction and stability controls to be disabled further degrading the built in safety features This was diagnosed several months ago by the dealership as an ABS hydraulic pump problem with no parts availability. The lack of parts has been an issue for months and has rendered my vehicle inoperative. The dealer said this was a common problem and that they had multiple Ram trucks with the same problem. I also checked online and found multiple reports of the same issue across the brand and across the country. This is a significant and costly repair >$800 for a part which is clearly underdesigned for the applicaiton with poor or little reliability.

ABS and HCU are in need of replacement parts. Because no replacement parts are available, I have no choice but to drive a Truck with questionable Breaking System, putting me, my family and others at risk, since the brake system is what stops my Truck when I need it to stop or slow down. I use this to tow the family travel trailer as well. This is also very important when brakes are needed to function safely. I have taken the Truck to my dealer of purchase. They completed a diagnostic test and also reproduced and confirmed the problem. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer's dealership Service Dept. The Truck's "ABS SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" warning lights and warning tones alerted me of service needed back in November 2022, with just over 36,000 miles. I made an appointment and the dealership serviced my truck in January 2023. Since no parts are available for the repair, I had no option but to pay a diagnostic's fee to have my vehicle released to me, still in need of repairs. The warning lights and signals continue to go off repeatedly whenever I drive my Truck, letting me know that there is a SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!

HCU antilock traction control unit, warning lights on.

- N. Ft. Myers, FL, USA

ABS system and Cruise Control cut out on my truck constantly when I-??m driving. My brakes have locked up while I was driving in the rain almost causing me to wreck. I-??ve seen other people having issues with this and their HCU units in these year trucks. Ram refuses to help me.

- Beverly Hills, FL, USA

ABS and traction control failed causing me to lose control on an icy road. I was able to regain control without hitting anything or having an accident but now I get an intermittent ABS control module service warning. When this appears the antilock brakes, the cruise control and traction control do not work. Once the light goes off all systems return to normal operation. It is intermittent and unpredictable. Parts are on National back order, I do not think replacing all of these parts is the issue. As dealers like to do-?? they just replace the whole system without identifying what the issue is. I do not think I should have to pay for replacing parts that are working properly. FCA needs to recall all of these systems and replace them at their expense!
