The abs system failed and caused the cruise control to not function as well as the trailer brakes not operating. It has been inspected by a certified ram dealership in Corscanna, Tx and confirmed that the abs system is out. The abs warning lights comes on and off, on a 30 mile trip it will come on and off 15 or 20 times. This started in May of 2023 on a planned trip of 330 miles pulling a 10,000 pound Rv. The Ram dealer told me the parts would be in in August of 2023, and then in Oct of 2023 and then Jan of 2024, and now April 2024. The dealer tells me it will cost $1600 to repair it. I have warranty but no one can get the parts. Thanks
Service Antilock Brake System Service Electronic Braking System Illuminated warning lamps. Impacts Braking and cruise control. Started 10/2022, and appears to trigger randomly and frequently.
Hcu, hydraulic control unit, no abs, no traction control, no cruise, no 4x4 and emergency brake light on won-??t go off and part is not available been waiting for over a year and a half
The truck flashes service antilock brake system, service eletronic brake system. It cancels the cruise control on truck. On several occassions it shuts off cruise while on the interstate. You have to react very quickly to avoid having an accident. A couple of times its happened while pulling a travel trailer and nearly got rear ended by semi truck. Thats really scarey. It started about 8 months ago. Have contacted dealer and was told by service department that they know of about 2000 trucks has same issue. The parts are out of stock and back ordered. I think this is a real safty issue. Dont know what to do about this.

abs lite comes on. service electronic braking system message. cruise will not work when fault is active. second time for this. fixed first time under warranty. truck only has 60k miles.
Abs/traction control lights keep pooping up on the dash. The dealer has changed the abs module and it didn-??t last long. The truck has 28k miles. It definitely can cause an accident because I haul heavy loads a lot. If the abs brakes doesn-??t work correctly I will crash into another vehicle. And it dings/ beeps every time I push the brakes or every time I hit a bump or something. I hope Ram can come up with a recall to fix this issue soon. The contact stated he fixed the ABS issue on the 2018 Ram 2500.
The anti lock brake system has failed on my 2018 Ram 2500. This has been confirmed by the dealer as well as an independent shop. First case was hauling a trailer full of wood, a car pulled out in front of me, I slammed the brake and the anti skid failed, brakes locked up. The only reason I didn-??t completely lose control is my trailer brakes worked and stopped the swerve. Since that day the ABS light has been intermittent and is becoming more consistent. Because the light is intermittent the other symptoms are intermittent to include cruise control and the most critical; traction control. This problem caused me to lose control on black ice in Hastings MI about a month ago and swerve into oncoming traffic. No accident resulted. This is a known problem on this truck and there is a technical service bulletin published as well as a class action law suit. Because of this myself, as well as other owners, are reluctant to pay thousands to fix it because we are awaiting action from your office to drive a recall. I recommend action to implement a recall before someone is killed due to this faulty system. ABS light is illuminated as well as Service Anti Lock Brake System Message. Systems lost are anti lock brakes, traction control, cruise control.
ABS and Traction Control light on. This cancels out cruise control also. Vehicle was repaired at 23562 miles and is out again at 32000 miles. I have been on dealers waiting list for over a month. The part used for the repair must have been defective also. W11aiting time for the repair is entirely too long. Antilock brakes are a safety concern and should be quickly fixed.
The truck developed a warning light for ABS / Stabilitrak needing to be serviced. Ram dealership replaced an ABS Pump, but the issue came right back. They are now saying it needs a new control module at great expense, but that they are unavailable currently. Delivery on the part has been pushed back continuously over the last 12 months, still no parts. This issue causes a regular intermittent digging and warning light in the cab, disables ABS, disables Stability Control, Disables Traction Control, and Disables Speed Control (Cruise Control). This issue has been ongoing for 8+ months at this time with no developments from Ram and the vehicle in an unsafe and compromised condition.
Service anti lock braking system and electronic brake system code constantly coming on. This is an apparent safety issue that Dodge needs to resolve. After much research, I-??ve discovered that there are many, many complaints of 2018 Ram truck owners having the same problems. Thanks for all your assistance.
Service Antilock Braking System and Service Electronic Brake System will begin to constantly flash on the dash. It would display the ABS light and the Traction Control light. At this time it would also turn off cruise control while traveling down the highway. I purchased the truck with 62,000 miles on it on 12/28/2023 and the issue occurred on the way home and ever since. Since I was not aware of this issue, the truck slowed down and I was almost hit. I had to pull off the road to figure out what was going on.
Electronic Braking system failure affecting the ABS system, Traction control, and cruise control. It puts the safety of everyone in the vehicle and on the road at risk because the ABS and cruise control will fail causing an unexpected adverse conditional that can lead to an accident. This is a known problem for RAM and their is no fix at this time other than making the customer pay out of pocket for the broken parts to be replaced with the same parts that will fail shortly after. There needs to be a recall and a permanent fix from RAM
Service electronic brake systems, service anti-lock brakes. replaced under warranty and now the light comes on intermittently. Obvious problem with the Ram trucks
Antilock braking and traction control system failed. I was driving on a snow/ice covered road and hit the brakes with no anti lock control and truck slid in road side ditch. Truck has not been repaired. This is a known problem that Dodge is well aware of. This could have caused serious injury or death under alternate driving situation or heavy traffic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
