2016 RAM 1500 Complaints

Driving my ABS , traction control light and brake light all came on. Took to Garage and was told it was my ABS module pump control unit and was told part was not available and was under redesign. with no idea when avaiable and that there would likely be long wait when it does. My concern is do not believe safe to drive with all these lights on as if another problem occured in this system a person would not know and could lead to a incedent. I believe there should be a immediate recall on this issue for safety reasons as my research shows the apperance that this is a far reaching and widespread problem

2016 Ram 1500 sports with 68k miles power steering failed randomly after never having problem. Was out on a fishing trip in Alaska and was packing up to leave and started the truck and the service power steering come on!Tried turning vehicle off and on but nothing worked and I didn’t have good service so it took me a while to contact family! I’m aware of a previous recall for this model/year but to be at 68k miles and leaving me stranded is terrible will be contacting dealership soon

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the ABS, Emergency Brakes, and Check Engine warning lights remained illuminated. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly switched to LIMP Mode and failed to properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the ABS module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 79,000.

While driving at highway speed the ABS, Brake, Traction control lights illuminated and stayed on I was able to get the truck home and took to the dealer they read the codes and stated that it is an internal failure on the ABS module, he said there are hundreds of these with failures. He said he would see about ordering a new module but the lead time would be 6 to 8 months as the parts are not available from Dodge and some are still in engineering for redesign. This needs to be a recall to get them off their duff and produce parts and replace for customers. The service advisor said would not hurt to drive truck but others online have said it could cause brakes to lock up and is dangerous to drive with this failure.

The brake, ABS brake, traction control lights are lit up on the dash. We took the truck to a dealership in March of 2024 to get the truck worked on. We were advised the the ABS Module has went out. The Ram dealership told us that the ABS module in question is under review, and it would be mid June before the review results would be available. We were told that we could still drive the truck, even though the ABS brakes aren't working. We have even asked about pulling our bumper pull travel trailer, and we were told we could also do this. It is now June 20th 2024 and we have yet to get a straight answer about the part being on recall or if everyone with the same issues is going to have to pay for the part that is apparently a manufacturer defect. We are afraid to drive the truck any distance because of this issue. And we definitely will not pull the travel trailer. We are stuck in Mississippi where we went for the winter. We would like to go back home to Oklahoma but we are afraid to drive that far with or without our trailer.

I have a 2016 RAM 1500. At 50k miles, the ABS light and the brake light came on. The message states “service ABS braking system”. ?I went to NAPA to get the code read and they said that I need the ABS Electronic Brake Control Module and the Brake Fluid Pump assembly replaced and that it could be very dangerous to drive my truck and in fact, if I keep driving the truck without it being fixed it was a danger to myself and others. NAPA called to order the parts and they said that it was back ordered by 3 days. The date of was 5/21/2024. They have NO date when they will have the vital parts to make my truck stop in the manner and condition that I bought the truck. I went online to do some research and I found out thousands of people are waiting years to get these parts and for every model and year since approximately 2012. The Dodge RAM people are not making the parts. They say it’s under “engineering review” or that they are simply backordered, FOR YEARS!!! So let me get this straight, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE DRIVING THEIR TRUCK ON THE ROAD IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE THE RAM PEOPLE “REFUSE” TO MANUFACTURE THE PARTS. This is what I’m being told. That my truck, that I paid a lot of money for and incidentally is paid off, doesn’t have the vital parts in it to make it stop effectively. I wrote to them to find out about the parts. The response that I got was telling me that the parts are no longer under warranty. I didn’t ask that question I asked when can I get the parts. And they never will answer the question. Why is this not under a number one priority for the safety of individuals and the general public? Why are people allowed to drive their RAM around when every one of the modules is failing in every RAM? I was told by NAPA that the modules are all failing around 50,000 miles. And again, they warned me not to drive my truck. How are we all supposed to get to work?
