2017 RAM 2500 Complaints

Abs light goes on and off intermittently. Caused my truck wheels to lock up in fast stop maneuver. Dealer said ABS module needs to be replaced but there is no recall yet.

The ABS warning lights comes on intermittently saying that the ABS braking system needs to be serviced. This appears to be can common defect with the Hydraulic Control Unit and Module on all 2017 to 2018 Dodge Ram trucks. With this defect the anti skid braking system does not work and the brakes are compromised. This happened at about 30,000 miles and the truck was already out of warranty. Dodge is stating that it will cost about $2,500 dollars to fix once Hydraulic Control Units become available. Apparently there is a nation wide back order.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 2500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS module failure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with ABS module failure. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

ABS & traction control brake failure light goes on and off as I’m driving. The ABS module was replaced around 30,000 and now it’s doing the same thing at 70,000. This is unsafe to be carrying heavy cargo and not being able to stop in time. Please issue a recall for RAM to fix this issue.

ABS and Traction Control lights have come on for the second time. First time at 100K miles the Hydraulic Module and Controller were replaced at my expense. Now at 153K miles the lights are coming on again. This is a habitual problem with this generation of RAM trucks and it's a safety issue for the following reasons: 1) the ABS system stops working 2) the traction control system stops working 3) the cruise control is unexpectedly turned off, which is a major concern, and 4) the 4x4 quits working which in the right circumstances can cause an accident.

I have a 2017 Ram 2500 6.4L. The ABS light is constantly on. At times it’s off then back on. Buying new parts for it does not fix it. I slid off a rainy road the other day due to this. Narrowly missing a vehicle. The brakes locked up. This is a safety concern. Please help. As far as I have found out there is no fix for this.

Anti lock brake system has intermittent Error code. Been living with this for two years. In the beginning, no-parts available from factory. Error can flash many time in and out during any driving period. Code C0020-01 'ABS Pump Motor Control-General Electric Failure. Dealer only repairs, however they cannot get parts. Was told this today. 9-12-2024 No recall from Ram/Chrysler/Fiat. $60k for a truck, the manufacturer takes no responsibility. Thousands have reported this issue over many years of production. I can't say this LOUD enough; This is a BRAKE system failure!

Abs service light come on and off intermittently. Something to do with a bad abs control module
