ABS MODULE HCU MODULE Has failed, cruise control doesn't work, Dinging is non stop, Everytime I hit a bump it goes on and off

- Corpus Christi, TX, USA

Started experiencing the ABS and Traction Control lights coming on, sometimes momentarily and very intermittently, sometimes (but less frequently) coming on for long periods of time. The frequency of these events has been increasing. A scan of the vehicle indicates I am receiving these this code... C0020-01 - ABS Pump Motor Control - General Electrical Failure This seems to be a very common complaint on my truck's make, model, and year. The result is I lose cruise control functionality, four-wheel drive, and seemingly the use of anti-lock breaks and traction control. It is very irritating as the warning lights and alarms often go on-off many times a minute, often going on for hours.

ABS light and traction control light illuminated on dash. Service both comes up on info screen. Wheels will skid when braking in wet weather, rain, snow and or ice. Will lose traction when departing from a stop in wet weather, or starting from a stop on a hill. Safety of myself and any or all occupants (wife, grandkids, friends) including other vehicles and their occupants around me whenever this truck is operated. Problem has been reproduced warning lights have been on constantly for over one year and are on still today. Refuse to take it to the dealer due to the fact I have to pay for diagnostics on a safety issue they refuse to recognize as a problem, and then they want to charge me over 1K to fix with no guarantee of solving the problem. Warning lamps are on chimes from dash Lights came on 8/1/2023 and remain on to this day.

My ABS and Traction Control lights go on and off while driving. It happens at different times and all different speeds.

The ABS light has come on in our pickup. We have no idea why it is on, or if it is something we need to worry about. I researched online and found that this has been a well documented problem with this year, make and model truck. Many complaints filed along with requests for a recall. We plan to use this pickup to pull our 5th wheel camper, so if this problem could cause issues with braking system, it could be very dangerous for us, as well as other drivers on the road.

Warning lights and audible warning for ABS and emergency braking along with traction control have been active for several months. Dealer determined the ABS control module is faulty and needs replaced. Current lead-time for the part is 7 months and cost to replace is $1,200. While the warning is active the cruise control and traction control are de-activated. During a recent rain storm I had to accelerate to avoid a merging vehicle on the freeway and the rear tires broke loose due to the lack of traction control and sent me into an uncontrolled fish-tail across 3 lanes. Fortunately traffic was light and everyone was able to avoid me and I got it under control and stopped just before hitting the freeway barrier wall.

The abs light and traction control light have been flickering for years. Now they are on solid. When I went to the dealer they said the part is under engineering review and they can-??t fix it anyways. My truck now won-??t pass safety inspections and can-??t be reregistered

(I had to pay for parts and labor on ABS replacement that RAM neglects to issue a recall.) this costed me $1,252.11 April 16, 2023?-?" A Ram ABS module recall allegedly should have been issued by Fiat Chrysler because of problems in 2017-2018 Ram 2500 and 2017-2018 Ram 3500 trucks.

ABS and Traction Control light and alarms activated inside cab on dash. Vehicle taken to dealership and they stated the HCU (hydraulic control unit) needed to be replaced. At that time no parts were available and a time frame was not given because no one had the parts not even after market. After several months of driving vehicle with out ABS or Traction Control vehicle has been fixed.

The ABS lights and traction control lights alarm keeps flashing on and off at random intervals) on my 2018 Ram 2500 4x4 with 18,000 miles on it. When the ABS Light and traction control light come on intermittently it also disengaged the cruise controls. At first it was here and there or when I hit a bump or turning the steering wheel right or left. Thought it was possibly a wheel speed sensor. Checked code with scanner and got -??ABS pump motor control-general electrical failure-??. Thought the issue was the ABS module based on my scan. I tried to find the part I had to call all over the place due to supply chain issues. When I spoke to a parts person from a dealership I explained the issue and code. He stated that the General Electric code failure was the HCU and not the ABS module. It-??s bad when your cruising at the speed limit of 70 mile an you and the cruise control quits working an you ned to react to the traffic but, my real concern is that the ABS won't work and could cause the truck wheels to lock-up during a panic/hard stop.

Radio keeps going out and turning off, and then comes back on with different stations. Next is my outside mirrors on both side, heater to mirrors don't come on at all to defrost

My ABS CONTROL MODULE is faulty and must be replaced only 57,000 miles on my diesal 2500 Ram. I-??m aware of the class action lawsuit regarding this very issue. This issue needs to be addressed in a recall and Dodge needs to repair at their expense. My truck is at the dealership due to the ABS/TRACTION warning and the $2,600 cost to replace the faulty module.

abs / traction control system failure and cruise control no longer function. This has been intermittent since May, 2023. This became permanent in November, 2023.

Driving along my ABS and TCS light intermittenly appear. I looked into this briefly and have noticed that there is a larger issue in this case. There are thousands of Ram 2500 owners who are having this issue. It is a defective part from the manufacturer and should be covered under a recall. I do not have the funds at the moment to pay for these repairs, so in turn I will be driving with not traction control and no anti lock brake system.

The abs light blinks and sounder beeps on and off intermittently while driving and the cruise control does not stay functioning when this occurs.

The "Check Antilock Brake" message appears on the dashboard. The vehicle has been inspected by a mechanic who confirmed that it is either the supplementary brake fluid pump, or the brake pump control unit. Because of the intermittent nature of the problem, the manufacturer requires replacement of both expensive parts, as they do not know the exact problem. Because of the issue, the following vehicle features do not function: * anti-lock brake system * electronic stability control / traction control * cruise control * the holding of the rear brake on a hill until the operator accelerates (important in a standard transmission truck used for towing)

Abs light and traction control light will flash and beep intermittently when driving have researched a lot of people have the same issue newer models have been recalled for the same problem.

Bought secondhand at auction with low mileage. Had checked outbytrusted mechanic, all was well. Vehicle records showed brand new transmission on truck. Transmission slipped after service. From July 2022 to today (December 2023) have had to replace transmission FOUR TIMES at great expense. Went to dealership and found no recall notice, they are offering to purchase truck for $7500 cash. Purchase price was approximately $33000 plus about $15,000 in repairs/new transmission replacements and cost of rental vehicle in the thousands as this was a truck purchased for a business. Please issue a recall for this vehicle! This has put a huge dent in our small business and we still don-??t have a functional truck!

I just bought a 2018 ram 2500 tradesman yesterday and had the abs light came on today and stayed on. Read comments online and was advise to report this issue as a safety issue and possible class action law suit potential. Seems like many people have the same issue even with a barely use vehicle.

I am getting an ABS sensor warning that was previously fixed 3 years ago under warranty but is now resurfacing. It is a constant alarm that prevents the cruise control from engaging.
