Needed to use brakes but unexpectedly the pedal did not work or stop the vehicle. Had to swerve into a ditch to avoid a collision with another vehicle. Abs, traction lights then activated.

ABS light goes on and off constantly, cruse control will not work. Truck has 29,000 mikes and has been doing this for 3 years

Service antilock brake warning is intermittent. This has been traced to defective pump/control modules. Parts are unavailable.

- Santa Rosa , CA, USA

Antilock brake module failure and no traction control. Also no cruise control. Having this problem for over two years, took vehicle to dealer and replaced valve in abs system. Having the same problem again for one and a half years now. Please fix.

My truck has 57,000 miles on it. Keeps getting "Service electronic braking system" and "ABS" message. "ABS" fault light and "Traction control" fault light comes on. Lights and message stay on for a couple seconds. Does this over and over. I had this problem before when the truck had about 20,000 miles on it. Braking system hydraulic control unit (HCU) was replaced under warranty. Contacted dealer service department and was told it was safe to drive, but abs may not work properly.

[XXX] I got a check engine light and associated ABS and traction control light. Roads were dry and braking seemed fine. Lights eventually went out. Service department at dealership said sometimes moisture will cause this. No codes. Between May and October this problem has become repetitive and has been in the dealership service department multiple times. Codes show only when lights are on. Wheel speed sensor has been replaced (twice), but did not solve problem. Other features affected when these lights are on: 4WD will not engage, cruise control inop, rear collision sensor inoperative. My truck has been in the shop (dealership at Lithia in Anchorage, AK) since 10 Oct. Technician has said it needs ABS module and hydraulic pump, but FCA (or Stellantis who issued service contract) will not release parts (or they are out of parts and won-??t admit). Apparently Ram engineers don-??t believe service tech and are having him chase an electrical problem and now hub replacement. A quick internet search and it appears thousands of Ram owners (17-18) have dealt with this problem. The mileage is just shy of 110,000 and service contract expires at 125k or Jun 25. As a consumer I-??m stuck between Ram engineers, and service department at dealership (currently without vehicle). A heavy duty pickup in Alaska is useless w/o 4WD on the rapidly approaching winter. This is obviously a known problem and needs resolution.

Component Failure: ABS ECU and HCU modules presented a trouble code C0020-01 after dashboard warning of ABS System problem. Safety Risk: Pulling my 12,000 trailer down the I-5 Grapevine without ABS, Traction Control or Cruise Control is very dangerous to myself and others. Failure Reproduced and confirmed by independent service center. Manufacturer (Stellantis) RAM insisted they change the HCU module before changing the ECU module (P/N 68347098AC). The HCU replacement did not clear the code, The manufactuer has a hold on shipping any ECU units to their dealer network. Truck has been out of service for three weeks! Dated 10/22/2024

The abs and traction control lights flash on and off. They also have remained off and the back on for while. Happens a lot during summer and when driving for a while. While on cruise control and the lights comes sudden loss of power and agrressive engine slow down causing the vehicle to shake. Has happen multiple times.

The Hydraulic Control Unit Chrysler part number 68143491AA failed and Ram refuses to replace/repair it and I-??ve been waiting a year. This causes the Anti-lock braking system and Traction control system to no longer function limiting function under wet or slippery conditions. This puts the driver and others at risk. It also disables the cruise control and 4 wheel drive. I have contacted my local dealer multiple times and they have made no attempt to help me. The vehicle/component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no Warning lamps/messaged before failure only after. These would be ABS lamp and traction control lamp plus a service ABS warning message. "

ABS system keeps beeping due to known defective part which Dodge has known about. My vehicle only has 27,000 miles on

On two separate occasions I had total brake loss, the truck has under 21,000 miles on it and while driving and trying to stop I have total brake loss, today I almost rear end a car due to the failure, luckily for them I have relatively good reflexes and I don-??t panic, if either of those were not true I possibly could of killed the two occupants of the car in front of me, I was traveling approximately 70 miles an hour on the interstate had had to apply my brakes. When I did I had absolutely no brakes at all, no idiot lights or anything warning me of the problem, this was the second time this occurred, the first time I was on my way home at night and went to stop at a stop sign at an intersection and again total brake loss, both these times I limped home, hoping I would make it home safely. This needs to be investigated before some dies

ABS module is bad. Didn-??t last long and shut cruise control off. And makes hard to brake with trailers

- Dequincy, LA, USA

ABS Module/HCU replaced 3 times defective yet again. This is a safety issue because Anti-lock brakes, traction control, and cruise control do not work

- Naples, FL, USA

Check engine light came on. Got a code C0020-01. abs pump motor control. Opon further research I found out this is a common issue and I was told to report it to nhtsa for there investigation. I did not have it fixed yet.

Third time the ABS module has been replaced in 29,000 miles. Took months for our dealer to acquire the part. Second one with the "AB" suffix. Truck only used for livestock towing hence the low mileage. When the ABS-STC go out the warning indicators come on along with a "Service Electronic Braking" system message. When this occurs, not only are the two mandated important safety systems inoperative, four wheel drive wont engage. I don't use cruise control but hundreds of reports state it also is inoperative. Why is Stellantis and NHTSA dragging their feet on getting this issue resolved and recalled once and for all. Not having Anti Lock Brakes and Stability Control are dangerous. I don't get it.

Abs and traction control lights come on, simultaneously canceling cruise control. Vehicle speed immediately slows, and traffic behind me catches up quickly as it takes a few seconds to react and get the vehicle back up to speed. Also, no abs in wet condition, etc. Bumps in the road cause the system to go out and come back on. It's become such a problem that I've had to pull the fuse for abs, which means no more cruise control. But also activates the red brake warning light. So if another problem comes up, I won't know as the brake light is already on.

Beginning in 2018, the ABS system will stop working intermittently and a number of trouble lights will come on, such as "Service ABS system" and, at the same time the cruise control and 4 wheel drive will stop working. I took it to a dealer while still under warranty and they claimed the ABS system was fine, and they could find no problem with the ABS, which had to be a lie since a code would certainly have shown up. I will go months without a problem then it will start intermittently going out for weeks at a time. This happened once in a snow storm near Denver, CO and I nearly went into the ditch because the 4wd suddenly stopped working. My research shows this is a common and serious problem with the 2017 and 2018 Rams and the manufacturer is well aware of the defective HCU that causes this safety issue. It needs to be repaired in a recall. An OBT scan shows that the ABS control unit intermittently suffers a "complete electrical failure" in the hydraulic control unit of the ABS.
