2017 RAM 2500 Complaints

ABS lights illuminated, Electronic stability control. ABS module has been replaced but did not fix issues. 1050.00 spent so far. This is a hazardous safety condition when driving if brakes are applied harshly. There are hundreds of complaints about this issue on these model trucks. My truck has 52000 miles on it.

I bought my truck brand new in 2017. Two weeks ago my truck started intermittently flashing a brake warning as well as an audible alert. The screen says “service electronic braking system”. Also, when this happens, it shuts off my cruise control. Worrying me as the braking system is CRITICAL for daily use.

ABS service light continually comes on and service antilock brake system light comes on daily. This seems to be an ongoing problem with all 2017 ram 2500 trucks there should be a recall on this Since it’s been a problem for 5 to 6 years

CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON, AND STEERING NOT TURNING LEFT AT TIMES.

A sensor in the ABS braking system went out. We attempted to get it fixed in September but were told the part was unavailable until February due to the fact that Ram was having to reengineer the part. We personally know 5 people who have had to replace this sensor. The service manager at the dealership told us that it was a very common problem. We have been driving for months with no ABS. Shouldn’t this safety issue be a recall? If the sensor had to be reengineered, Ram obviously knows it’s a problem.

I own a 2017 Ram the electronic breaking system light kept coming on when I had about 34000 miles on it but I had it over the 3 year period for warranty. Paid dealership about $1200.00 to get it fixed. Again at about 45,000 miles it started it again. Checked with dealer said it would cost about $1400.00 to get corrected and they would have to wait for parts. I see a lot of others have had the same problem with that model. I feel as lot of others, this should be a recall item. Also cruise control want work when light is on. Ram is going to wait until someone has a wreck and a fatality before they do anything about this issue. Also there will be a class action suit against them and they will be plenty follow. Hope how soon Ram decides to honor this defective issue.

The ABS hcu fails intermittently causing a loss of traction control, cruise control. this is the second time i will have to replace the this unit. i had to first replace it at the end of 2021 and it failed a second time in october 2023.

MULTIPLE repetitive ABS/HCU failures starting in 2022. Truck has for the most part been sitting since then due to unavailability of parts, reengineering of parts and now again lack of availability of parts. Should we have encountered an emergency braking situation we would could have experienced, increased stopping distance, loss of steering control and significantly reduced traction. This ABS/HCU also causes us to lose trailer brake controller and our truck is primarily for towing. Which is why ABS was mandated for all vehicles in 2011.

Intermittent service electronic brake system message/ABS system service required message on dashboard. Truck has less than 32,000 miles on it.

The ABS and Traction control lights began to flash and the alarm began to come on intermittently in 2021. I took the truck to the dealer for repairs because the ABS, Traction Control and Cruise Control were not working. The repair cost was $1,00.00 at my expense. The problem has recently returned and is going to need repaired at my expense again. The ABS system not working causes a safety concern with stopping the vehicle. This is a know issue with these vehicles as such I feel it should be the manufactures responsibility for repairs.
