The ABS dash light and traction control light started coming on about a year ago. the light is intermittent with a ding sound. Some days it comes on non stop, sometimes it doesn-??t come on at all. cruise control does not work, and -??park rear-?? button is not able to get out of the off mode.
The abs and electronic brake control lights keep going off and no abs it also shuts cruise control off when light come on. I pull a trailer a lot and brakes lock up and no abs. Very dangerous, almost rear ended a vehicle on the interstate because traffic stopped all a sudden. Cannot believe there isn-??t a safety recall yet there are numerous complaints about this problem.
Intermittent Electronic Brake System and ABS Failure messages. Been dealing with this issue for over a year now. Dealership told me I had to wait almost a year before there would be a fix and that-??s if I-??m lucky. The ABS pump motor and the software are both faulty and Ram is aware of how to fix it, and haven-??t. There needs to be a recall for issue, ASAP.
ABS module failure, only 63000 km had to pay $1038.19 to have it replaced at Parksville Dodge Jeep and $194.14 to read the code that we already had done at another auto shop. I have a case number [XXX]. I have sent many screen shots of other owners having problems, websites, recalls, 22v140000, 24v4150000. The ABS sensor came on our extended warranty ended in November 2023, we took it to a mechanic shop and the code C0020-01 came up (no parts only Chrysler can replace hmm that-??s a problem why?)we then phoned Chrysler in Parksville and took it in and they showed same code and said needed to order part only one was in Red Deer Alberta. This is obviously an issue with this truck as there is a class action suit alleging FCA breached its warranty by using ABS and HCU modules of subpar quality known to be unfit for ordinary purpose and not disclosing this issue to customers at the time of purchase. These modules are prone to premature failure due to defective materials used in their manufacture. The lawsuit states FCA knew about the defect thru extensive pre-sale testing and numerous NHTSA complaints, there is a Technical Service Bulletin regarding the faulty ABS and HCU, despite issuing the TSB, FCA failed to issue a recall. The hearing is scheduled for December 17, 2024. We would like all costs associated with the replacement of this module paid for by Chrysler Canada. I want a recall issued for my vehicle and a cheque to reimburse me as this is clearly an issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I'm getting warning lights to service abs system and traction control, also cruise control and 4 wheel wheel drive will not engage. Dealer replaced abs control module while truck was under warranty and now at 58000 miles I'm having the same problem as I did when it was fixed earlier. This is a safety Hazzard and a recall needs to be done because theses vehicles were built for towing heavy loads and you loose your abs and traction control when trying to stop heavy loads.

Driving on interstate highway with cruise control engaged. Experienced rapid deceleration as cruise control disengaged without driver input. Received anti-lock braking error / service electronic braking system error. Was very dangerous situation to have occur unexpectedly and could have easily resulted in rear end collision or loss of control of vehicle. Received no warning prior to this failure. Issue has been sporadic but occurring more frequently. Vehicle has less effective braking in adverse road conditions. Never know when the anti lock brake system will be functional. A bump or vibration in the road can cause it to engage or disengage. Ram dealer service dept indicates Hydraulic Control Unit needs to be replaced. Looking online, I see this is an exceptionally common occurence in same year/make vehicles. So much so that the replacement part is backordered for months.
While driving the PU with my camper in tow, the ABS and Service electronic bakes system warning were displayed on my dash. Then they went out. This process repeated several times over the next 3-4 minutes. Then the warning lights came on and stayed on. It remained that way until I parked on the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. I checked the undercarriage for any signs of any visible damage to the braking system. None was readily identifiable. Upon restarting the vehicle, all warning lights were extinguished. I proceeded to the campgrounds with out further warnings on this system. The next day, with out the camper in tow, the warning lights were again active flashing on and off for a period of about 3-4 minutes before they again came on and stayed on. This process repeated itself as I would turn off the vehicle and then restart it. Upon parking for the evening they were still on. When I started again the next day, they were off.
ABS/traction control warning lights and alarm intermittently on and off during driving, speed control does not work during the alarm cycle. ABS not working when warning comes
It's clear that my abs module is bad but it consists of three components. Mopar online doesn't have any components available to fix the problem. And the Dealer is selling the components separately and telling you which one they will sell you first and also at a higher price than what's available to you online
There seems to be an issue with my ABS and Electronic Braking System, because both lights are blinking on and off saying to service them. It started while I was driving down a gravel road, then will shut off and back on. I drove nearly 500 miles with the ABS and Electronic Braking System sending me this message off and on again. I noticed when it was on that my ABS was not working properly, but when the light was off it was. I tested it several times to verify that it worked when the lights was off and that it didn't when the lights were on.
Service electronic brake system and ABS light intermittently comes on drive down the road or when stopping. Has been happening for the past 3 weeks now.
I had warning lights come on service abs brake system. They replaced abs control module at around 30000 miles under warranty, and now at 58000 I'm getting the warning again. Abs doesn't work, traction control doesn't work and cruise control doesn't work. This makes the truck very unsafe especially when towing which truck is designed for. There needs to be a recall done on this problem.
ABS and service electronic breaking system lights all come on. I loose 4 wheel drive and cruise control as well as traction control. Happened at about 55000 miles had fixed now happened again at 95000 miles. Breaking is not as good as it should be!
The contact owns a 2018 Ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 MPH, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the ABS sensor had failed and replaced the ABS light. While driving approximately at55 MPH and decelerating, the contact applied the brake pedal but failed to respond. The vehicle was coasted to a stop. The vehicle was returned to the same dealer who had diagnosed that the calipers had failed. The brakes, brake pads, routers, and calibers were replaced. Approximately, 6 months later the contact noticed the vehicle failed to reverse. The vehicle app notes brake system failure, anti-brake system, ABS failure, and tire pressure failure warnings displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to confirm a diagnosis however had assumed the reverse piston rods may have failed. The contact was informed the repair may take up to 2 weeks due to limited parts. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 111,000.
Hydraulic Control Unit & ABS Module. 2018 Ram 2500 4x4 Bought truck new, the HCU & ABS Module parts failed issuing constant alarms on dash. Parts were replaced in April 2021 under warranty with approximately 22,000 miles on truck. Now getting the same alarms again and dealer says the Hydraulic Control Unit has failed again. Truck only has 47,000 miles and are in need of replacement again. Looking this up online and there are tons of reports with the same issue on 2018 models. Brakes should be covered in a warranty or recall, IMO.
Two years worth of "ABS" and "service electronic brake system" warning lights and bells going off. About 3 months ago they finally got a re-engineered ABS brake module installed and the light went away for about 2 months. Now they are back intermittently. Took it in to the dealership and they now say the HCU unit needs to be replaced as well. From reading RAM forums this is a known/on going problem with 2018 RAM 2500.
Intermittent ABS/Traction control light despite new ABS module and service at dealer. During heavy braking the Traction control does not function properly, causing unsafe driving conditions for myself and other motor vehicles on the road. Chrysler/Mopar have failed to address the issue.
Electronic Braking System comes on and off after I hit a bump on the road. I am very worried about this issue. The dealer is not able to diagnos the issue unless it come on when I drop it off to them. This issues has been an issue for several months now. I checked online and several other Ram 2500 and 3500 owners are dealing with the same issue. Please help us do something about this.
ABS does not engage in emergency stops. Truck has been reviewed by a dealer noting a surge of HCU and ABS units malfunctioning. Parts are on a year lead time in order to repair.
