It is a known issue that 2017 ram 2500 diesels experience turbo or actuator failures at low mileage costing upwards of 8-10000 dollars in repairs. My ram only has 61000 miles and due to exhaust fluid requirements etc, premature failure is common. Owners should be able to extend the warranty to 15 years as Chrysler has known this issue and has failed to address it. The code is in the attached screenshot.

I received notification of Manufacture Recall C4B (NHTSA Recall 24V-896) in Nov 2024. My intermittent ABS light on my dashboard is continuously going on and off, indicating a problem with the anti-lock braking system since 2024. This prevents the setting of cruise control as well as a constant alarm sound. I feel this directly correlates from the brake hydraulic control unit HCU susceptible to failure or malfunction as stated in the recall and feel unsafe to drive my vehicle due to the potential risk of loss of ABS/ESC/Traction control that may cause my vehicle to crash without prior warning. I have attempted to remedy this situation by contacting the Washington, NC and Greenville, NC Dodge dealerships and Mopar Parts Support (800-765-7732) directly for immediate repair only to be told that they do have my information on a ticket but do not have a part to fix it, but in the same breath tell me I can buy an after market part at my local auto parts store at my cost and have the dealership install at my cost to resolve my issue. This is unacceptable, as I now have a financed vehicle that I purchased from a Dealership and I am unable to confidently drive due to safety concerns that my life and others on the roadway may be in danger. In addition I am continually paying my monthly finance payment, auto insurance , yearly taxes/tags since the recall November 2024 and it is now August 2025 and I have an unsafe undriveable vehicle! I am seeking your assistance to demand the manufacture fix the problem by repairing it, replacing it or repurchasing the vehicle.

Truck has ABS and Traction control lights kicking on and off intermittently. Cruise control will kick off if engaged and won’t re engage until the lights go back off. Concerned this is gonna be a major safety concern hauling a 10,000 lb trailer
