ABS & traction control light coming on intermittently I have had in a shop a bunch still not fixed
- Baytown, TX, USA
abs and traction control lights and alarms come on and off at very random times
- Glenburn, ME, USA
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. Investigation: PE 22-012

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.

The rearview mirror backup camera display intermittently does not turn on or disappears while vehicle is in reverse. Yes. Could cause significant risk to others outside the vehicle while backing up if not seen in other mirrors. I have sent the truck in multiple times to multiple dealers but it is intermittent so they were not able to recreate the problem while in their possession. Only inspected by the dealership. No warning lamps or messages or other issues prior to the display not showing. I first noticed the issue the first week I purchased the truck (2022). I have a video of the issue for proof but this form will not allow me to upload.

My ABS light came on and then shortly later I noticed that my stability control system was disabled and its warning light came on. I also lost the ability to use my cruise control. Took vehicle to the dealer and they determined that the ABS Control unit needed to be replaced. They trouble shot the issue and replaced the ABS Hydraulic Control unit. This repair is for the same recall as 85B for Ram 1500's.

1. ABS sytem faults, no known triggering, continuous flashing, resetting, and going off again. Drops the truck out of cruise control. 2. I would say yes, my safety and the safety of others are put at risk when this happens, especially when the truck drops out of cruise control at random upon onset of the issue. 3. onset 17sep24, continuied 18sep24, two days in a row now. Troubleshooting call has been made to dealer this am for follow on diagnostics. Cursiary research done this am shows multiple reports of faulty ABS system parts and modular issues being reported, class action lawsuits, NHTSA reports etc. 4. no 5. yes, ABS system failure warnings, ABS fault light with system chimes

I received the recall notice V06, for the Drag Link, I purchase 4 new tires and took the truck in to have the repairs done, the dealership informed me that I also needed upper and lower ball joints both sides and front end alignment, I had them preform all that they said it needed. I took the truck back because I noticed excessive tire were and they told me that the Drag link needs replaced, the alignment redone and that I would have to pay for

This truck has had two major REAR-END repairs. After the last one it vibrates. Several sets of tires and even a new set of rims and it still vibrates. NONE of the dealers can locate anything.I took it to a shop that has vibration detection equipment. Their results show the issue is in the rear end. I get no resolution or help in resolving the issue. I have been out a lot of money on this truck due to odd break downs and issues that Ram refuses to acknowledge. I am beyond sick of this. I paid a lot of money for this junk.

Hitting bumps causes an intermittent chime and notification alerting me that the Antilock Breaking System and Electronic Breaking System need service. Both the ABS and traction control lights are illuminated. I contacted my local dealer and they indicated that this isn't an immediate safety concern and is due to an electrical issue for which they haven't solved. They quoted me $1,600 for the replacement of the Anti-Lock Brake System Module and Hydraulic Control Unit. After some online research, it seems that this is a common issue with many resulting in total brake failures. A potential brake system failure should be a recall for obvious reasons.
- Georgetown, TX, USA
The abs/traction control lights are coming back on again. The abs control module and the hydraulic control unit were replaced when the truck had 34,000 miles. Now it has close to 60,000 and it has started doing the same thing again. Talked to the dealer and they said it would be close to $2000 to do the repair this time since it isn't under warranty. I have seen many of this same problem in a lot of the ram or cummins forums and feel this is a known issue and should be recalled. You lose the abs and traction control when these are out but it is intermittent. Fortunately, I haven't had an accident from this so far but could very well see how it could cause an accident. When my traction control was out the truck fish tailed on a wet road.

The service electronic brake system warning light and chime along with the traction control and ABS warning lights and the cruise control fails to work. This occurs frequently. The code is C0020-01 ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Pump Motor ControlGeneral Electrical Failure I believe.

ABS/Electronic brake indicator light on continuous, no Dodge repair facility cannot seem to fix issue. This should be a recall item.
- New Bern, NC, USA
Hydraulic cont module/ abs module is constantly going in and out causing the abs/traction control to be disabled and non functional cruise control. Highly unsafe when towing heavy like I do most of the time.
- Cambridge City, IN, USA
ABS and traction control light appear and disappear rapidly while driving. Message pop up saying service electronic braking system. The lights don-??t stay on they go out immediately after chime. Notice it will sometimes (more often than not) come on when hitting bumps in the road.
