2017 RAM 2500 Complaints

Abs and traction control light flashing randomly and disabling cruise control while on.

ABS and HCU have gone bad and parts are not available. Please help. This should be recalled, these parts have gone bad in many of the 2017 and 2018 ram trucks.

We too our 2017 Dodge Ram 2500 to Lenoir City Chrysler Dodge on January 11, 2024 because the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control warning lights were coming on. The truck was in the shop for about a week. We were told initially that the part (electronic control module) was on order. Then we were told that the part was under redevelopment and that they did not have a date for when the part would be available. We do not know if the truck is safe to drive or not so we have not been driving it. All we want is to purchase the part so we can use a truck the cost us $43,000.

Vehicle has less than 22000 miles. ABS controller replaced at 7000 miles then again at 14000 miles and is now needing to be replaced again.

Abs and tc light turn on ad off intermittently regardless of what mph driven. Constant audible warning sound. Dealer states known issues with abs system hydraulic contol unit with similar vehicles.

The check electronic brake system light started coming on intermittently in October 2023. Dealer determined it was a faulty hydraulic control unit but it took three weeks to locate the part for a vehicle just over 24,000 MILES and based on other reports I consider myself lucky to have my truck repaired under four weeks. RAM was completely unapologetic and had me pay full price for the repair. I have no trust for the replaced part or RAM as a brand. Sold the truck, but I would not mind a refund for parts of questionable quality.

Service Antilock Brake System & Service Electronic Brake System on 2017 Ram 6.4 hemi

Traction control and ABS lights flicker on dash cluster. Possible ABS module failure. Parts on back order, I believe this is a safety hazard that needs to be corrected by a recall. This is a known issue that has yet to be resolved since 2017. That's unacceptable.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 2500. The contact stated that the Service Electronic Braking System warning message had appeared on the instrument panel. As a result, both the remote electrical start and the cruise control features failed to operate as needed. The dealer acknowledged the failure but informed the contact that the part needed to repair the failure was unavailable. Once the part became available, the contact was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and agreed to cover for part of the repair; however, once the part became available, the manufacturer no longer offered any financial assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
