The truck has 59,005 miles on it. Driving down the road the following alerts displayed: Service Antilock Brake System Service Electronic Brake System Service Trailer Brake System The truck is available for inspect. There were no symptoms prior to this event but has continually displays these warnings since the first time of displaying in October 2024. I have another car so I parked the truck and start it periodically but do not drive it. I was near home and able to drive there without incident. When I start the truck it immediately display the warnings. I am hesitant to drive it to an independent service center cause I don't know if the brake system will completely fail. In researching the warnings I found this to be a common issue with these trucks and found an NTSA recall for the same warnings for the truck but for different years.
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the ETC warning light illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The ETC light disappeared and then the check engine warning light, ABS, and ETC warning lights illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
I have my traction control light show up on the dash. Took my truck to a mechanic thinking it might be my ABS Sensors. The code came up showing I am in need of the ABS Control Module. This seems to have been recalled on many of the Ram trucks as recent as September 2024. Also doing a lot of research, this seems to have been an ongoing problem for Ram trucks 2014-2016. The dealerships currently do not have the replacement part # 68228991AD which will replace the original 68228991AA, AB, and AC. It is apparently in engineering review. With the snow my location just had, I can tell you I have lost traction on the road. I have also lost traction and had hard braking on dry pavement within the past few weeks which is why I took the truck to the mechanic and learned of the ABS Control Module needing replaced. This should be recalled on all of the Ram trucks not just the 2019, 2021-2024.
On [XXX] numerous brake system warning dash lamps came on on your truck. I also noticed that once this happened the cruise control no longer works. The local RAM dealer could not inspect my truck for several days so I had an independent service center test it and he confirmed the anti-lock brake module had stopped working. I believe he also noted that error code(s) were detected. yes, it can be inspected. I drive the truck but do so without the use of the anti-lock brake system. Yes, the problem has been reproduced, and l've visited my local dealer and discussed the situation with them and they confirm that this has been an ongoing problem for over 2 years. Warning lamps only came on as soon as the problem started, though at the time I did not notice a problem as I did not have to slam on my breaks and make use of the anti-lock/anti-skid function. The service center and dealer both confirmed that the malfunctioning cruise control was definitely part of the module failure. Part # 68228991-AD (replaced part # 68228991-AB.

Vehicle is flashing service electronic braking system/Traction controland break light flashing. Seem the issue is related to other year models with the HCU/brake motor recalls that have been issued. I'm looking at having to spend over $3k just to have the unit replaced at a dealership. I don't feel safe while driving my truck as the other day when in the rain it started driving crazy when I lost traction on wet pavement uphill. The truck started trying to auto correct because of the traction issues was throwing me from side to side on the road. I believe this to be a bigger problem with FCA vehicles than they are reporting. With the issue being identified as a manufacturer part and the majority of the parts being almost identical in design it seems they should recall more year models. Along with that the replacement is not all that different in design either. The brushes in the motor are sticking resulting in the motor not functioning properly. So now I'm stuck not feeling comfortable with any of the fixes even if the offered them to my year model if they are using the same motor design.
ABS modules become defective and give errors. Mopar Part number 68228991AD has been discontinued with no new part number. This module affect stopping in icy and wet conditions. This is critical to the safety of the driver. Mopar needs to make an ABS module!!!
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while coming to a stop, the brake pedal was depressed due to the vehicle in front abruptly stopping with the ABS warning light illuminated. On several occasions, the brake pedal felt abnormal when depressed. On another occasion, the contact stated that the vehicle accelerated up to 30 MPH which caused the contact to rear-end another vehicle. The air bag did not deploy. No injuries were sustained, and no medical attention was provided. A Police report was filed with the Florida Highway Patrol and the report number was not provided to the contact. The vehicle was not towed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the ABS module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the contact was informed that no after-market parts were available. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced an unknown recall related to the brake booster failure however the part was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 188,635.
About a year ago my vehicles auto traction, brake light and abs light illuminated. The warning that my vehicle gives when I turn it on and start is braking system needs serviced and electrical breaking system needs serviced. The code that shows in diagnosis is abs brake module needs replaced. My brakes have not been right. The part has been back ordered for over a year. There are no parts and my dealer and Ram answer is it-??s under engineering review till January 15. The dealership answer is get one from the junk yard which they-??re aren-??t any. I wouldn-??t feel confident driving my grand babies with used brake parts. I was in an accident today because of brake failure and thankfully I didn-??t hurt anyone in the car in front of me.
Approximately 1.5 years ago my 2015 Ram 1500 Antilock Brake light came on along with the messages service trailer brake system, service antilock brake system, and service electronic brake system. I have taken it to different dealers and auto mechanics to have it fixed only to be told that parts are no longer available. I was told by service department at dealer that I needed an ABS Module. I have checked with dealers for current availability of the parts numerous times since diagnosis only to be told that the part was still not available and that they did not have any idea when it would be available. I have been researching this problem and found this to be a common problem with Ram pickups. I have also found where a recall has been activated for 2019-2021 ram trucks with the same problem. This to me is a real safety issue that should be addressed and a recall activated for this and other older models with the same issue, as I have had a couple of incidents where I have had to apply heavy pressure to brakes to stop my vehicle only to have the brakes lock up causing me to nearly lose control of my vehicle. If this is not addressed, I feel that the issue could result in accidents, injury, or worse loss of life could occur. Thank you for your time.

ABS control module under engineering review Part not available, manufacturer has not supplied replacement part for 2 + years. Tens of Thousands of failures, some repeat failures and dealer will not replace with used part. Dealer will not cover cost to replace part which is unavailable. $1500 - $2000 cost to replace part knowing all new parts are faulty.
ABS control module and pump failed no replacement available waiting now for 1 year for parts this is a problem with a large amount of ram trucks. Need assistance from this agency
ABS, traction control and BRAKE lights on continuously, took to shop to run diagnostic and was told the problem relates to the actuator leaking into the module which now both need to be replaced. Chrysler dealer states parts are "on back order" and have been for over 6 months due to"re-engineering" issues. Talked to several other Ram owners with same problem to hear they understand Stelantis has no intention of re-engineering due to cost and possible recall responsibility. This is a real safety issue, why has a recall not been initialized?
The ABS, traction control and emergency brake light all turned came up on the dashboard. I believe a past recall May 16, 2018 was of a wiring issue effecting the cruise control. Since all three lights have came on, the cruise control feature is not available for use. This is a concern within the Ram community and needs to be addressed.
Antilock Brake System module has failed, causing the light on the dashboard, along with the traction control light, to stay on. This covers up any braking issues, as I am forced to drive with this light on; as Ram is not selling the ABS module, saying they are under "Engineering evaluation". The problem with my truck cannot be fixed at this time & I am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle. Reported to Ram, but no action taken to recall.
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the steering wheel independently veered to the left direction. The brake warning light illuminated. The warning message "Anti-lock brake system service required" was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that there was an unusual burning odor from the exterior and saw an unusual vapor coming from the front driver-side tire. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the front driver-side rotor, caliber, brake pad, and brake hose were replaced. The contact stated that 2 weeks later the passenger side rotor, caliber, brake pad, and brake hose were replaced by another local dealer to balance the other repairs however the failure reoccurred. The first local dealer was contacted however, the contact was advised that the parts needed for the repair were on backorder. The contact reached out to the second unknown local dealer for a second opinion and they advised the contact that the part was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.
ABS Modular is malfunctioning and recommended to be replaced. I have been waiting 1.5 years for this part and continue to be told it-??s not available. My check engine light continues to be on and my car does not function as it should. The part is identified as needing to be fixed but no parts available. I-??ve called multiple states and made over 100 calls over the year. I am stuck with a car not functioning correctly and told by RAM that I just need to wait. Thousands of people are waiting for this part I am told and other years have been recalled but not my year somehow. This is dangerous and my hands are tied. I am putting my family in danger daily driving or am out 20+k on a vehicle I can-??t drive. This is ridiculous and not a decision I thought I-??d have to make with a well known company like Ram.
ABS Module failed triggering BRAKE light service and ABS Service light, and the ESB light. 6 month + and counting to get this OEM module. Why are you not addressing the supply chain issue......
Service ABS Brake, Service Electronic Brake Throttle, Service Electronic Trailer Brake & Standard Brake dash lights are illuminated at all times. I have no Anti Lock Braking & Sway /Stability Control Light is on and I have No Stability nor anti sway control. This disrupts the Cruise Control from working. It has been confirmed by a local trusted mechanic shop. The Warning Lights have been on since June 2024. This is dangerous especially in rain and wet conditions. The truck has no traction control and fish tails at the slightest turn during acceleration.
