    The ABS module has an "internal electrical fault" rendering the ABS and traction control on my Ram 1500 inoperable. The replacement part 68228991AD has been on back order and therefore unrepairable at the dealer for over a year and a half making my truck unsafe and Chrysler hasn't done anything to make the parts more available.

    Courtesy jeep dodge ram on Adamo dr in Florida does not have parts for recalls. They say they are forever back ordered. the ABS Control module which THEY advised is recalled on this vehicle but WILL FORVER BE OUT OF STOCK, so what I’m going to ride around with no ABS? Very upsetting. Paid them 56k for this vehicle originally and they can’t honor recalls. They tell you, just buy a new vehicle. Seems fishy.

    Electric Power Steering Unit suddenly failed upon start-up of vehicle. This truck manufactured in Feb. of 2015 but DID NOT receive NHTSA 16V-167000. The Safety Recall indicates RAM 1500 trucks manufactured from Jan. 22, 2015 to Sept. 13, 2015. This truck is within manufactured recall dates so why isn't it flagged?

    My 2015 Chrysler Ram EcoDiesel 4x4 has a major safety defect that nearly caused a catastrophic accident and has left me traumatized. The vehicle is currently inoperable, sitting in my driveway with a dead battery and what sounds like a thrown rod after breaking down for the second time on the highway. While driving on Highway 101 in California, towing a horse trailer with live horses, the truck suddenly lost power without warning. I was left struggling to control the vehicle and avoid a crash in high-speed traffic. This was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Losing engine power with a loaded trailer on a busy highway could easily have resulted in fatalities — not just for me and my animals, but for other drivers on the road. I was horrified and shaken, and I continue to suffer PTSD from the event. This is the second time the vehicle has broken down under dangerous circumstances. The failure was life-threatening, and it is obvious to me that the engine has now suffered catastrophic internal damage (likely a thrown rod). Recall Issues: I had already received a notice of Recall 22V-406, but when I contacted Chrysler, I was told the parts were not available and they would not buy back my truck. The repair was not released yet, leaving me to continue driving a vehicle I already knew had a serious defect. This delay put me, my animals, and the public at unacceptable risk.

    I was resuming speed after a toll, my 2015 Ram Eco Diesel 1500 lost all momentum, threw an alarm to service the Electronic Throttle with a red lightning bolt framed by two red lines, and I limped to the shoulder with several semi close on my tail. After researching I shut off for a minute, removed key, opened door, then restarted. The engine struggled and revved several times before starting. The dealership confirmed the Tone Wheel is cracked in several places and is failing of not fault of mine. She is still there with the parts on order. This is related to already completed recall W58, although should be addressed by W68. I should not be penalized for taking good care of my truck. Thank you for your help getting my vehicle and several related NHTSA complaints addressed under recall W68. *Please see related NHTSA IDs: 11671188, 11655078, 11645531, 11644270, 11619387, 11614931, 11613109, 11593300... so many more. Please have an algorithm review the complaints for similarities to allow for safer highways and driving. Thank you and enjoy your week!

    I am experiencing ABS issues on my truck. After visiting a local auto parts store to get an OBD scan, the code says it’s a bad ABS module. I called the dealership to share this information and they confirmed the code from the auto parts store is a bad ABS module. They said “oh no, you got that code huh? You’re not the only one.” The reason for my visit was because three lights were illuminated on my dash. The ABS light, the traction control light, and the BRAKE (trailer brake) light. The messages on the dash display say to service the ABS system, service the electronic braking system, and service the trailer brake system. From my research, I have discovered that many people are experiencing this same issue on similar vehicles . So much in fact that the parts for repair are unavailable at the dealership and online warehouses. The cruise control is disabled while experiencing this issue and braking performance is affected while driving. I’m afraid that my brakes will lock up on me in a hard stop event and lead to an incident.

    For my truck a 2015 Ram 1500 there is a known issue where the ABS module fails and won't allow the driver to use ABS. It's ubiquitous and Chrysler isn't manufacturing or supplying the ABS module anymore. I was told by the Dealer that I should "just buy a new truck" if I want anti-lock breaks. I have children, this is unacceptable. I'm on a wait list for the part now for over 2 years and I'm told that I may or may not actually ever get the part indicating, again, that I should buy a new one for safe braking. Apparently I am one of 100's of people on a list and Ram just recalled 1.5 million trucks with the same issue but not my year range of truck.... Part no: 68228991ad
