2017 RAM 2500 Complaints

2017 Ram 2500 needs HCU and ABS modules dealer diagnosted the problem 2/29/24 parts are still not available to fix. I read there’s many of us with this problem it should be a recall, I shouldn’t have to pay $1635.00 to repair it.

Abs module and pump goes on and off about to put the third one on the truck and only has 74,000 miles

The ABS and electronic brake system service warning is going off. I scheduled an appointment and the Ram dealer and after inspection claims that HCU-ABS Hydraulic Control unit needs to be replaced. This seems to be a very common issue with the RAM 2017 2500 model.

ABS module constantly going off and removes 4 wheel drive, parking assist, traction control, and and brakes

ABS module unit replaced while under warranty. Vehicle again with ABS warning on/off intermittently for at least the last several months...regardless of weather, speed, road conditions, etc. Comes on and off while driving, sitting in a parking lot...pretty much as soon as I turn on the motor it starts...goes off again for several minutes/hours/days, then starts doing the blinking and dinging again for no reason. While traveling, it turns off cruise control and I have lost 4 wheel drive when I've desperately needed it. This vehicle is only used for long distance travel or during snow storms. This is a safety issue, in my opinion. Causes operational malfunction and causes driver distraction.

ABS and traction control lights intermittently go on and off. Most of the time just by driving over a bump. Constantly going on and off. Many forums online about this related issue. Many talk about pump being replaced and not solving or the Hydraulic Control Module replaced and not solving and many talk about faulty electrical connections. Error code: C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control - General Electrical Failure

"CHECK ABS SYSTEM" LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON/OFF. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON EVERY TIME I HIT THE BRAKES IT CHIMES. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2017/2018 RAM 2500/3500 TRUCKS AND THAT THE ABS MODULE/PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT THEY HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR OVER A YEAR. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE LOADS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL. THE DEALER SAYS THAT I SHOULD "BE CAREFUL" DRIVING THE TRUCK AS THE ABS NOT WORKING COULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCE.

ABS AND LSC WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF. WARNING BELL DINGS OFF AND ON. CHECKED AND MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE SYSTEM
