    HCU and ABS module have failed multiple times. The first time was repaired under warranty, the second failure there is a part backorder and I could not get it replaced. My truck is now out of warranty and the manufacturer is now pushing part availability put to Feb 2024. This is clearly defective equipment but the manufacturer will not address if and will not order recalls and replacement.

    Vehicle has about 60,000 miles. Has started intermittent service electronic brake and service abs warning. Noticed alot of information online that this is happening more than a normal rate of failure. I believe where this is being looked into...hoping for a speedy response. Thank You!

    The abs module started throwing a code and had to be replaced in 2022 which cost me around 900.00 dollars and the same module has malfunctioned again in 2023. This seems to be a very common problem with 2017 and 2018 ram 2500 trucks. This module should be recalled for parts and labor.

    ABS and Traction Control warning. Cruise control will not work either. This started at 25K miles, but the truck was out of warranty because of time. I purchased an ABS Module from Ram and installed it Dec 27, 2023 and I will have to take it to the dealer to program it.

    my truck has 130,000 miles on it currently. At approximately 37,000 miles the ABS and Stability systems stopped working due to a faulty Hydraulic pump. I paid $800 to have the pump and control module replaced at the dealership. The brakes worked normally for approximately 20,000 miles. Around 60,000 miles the ABS and Stability systems stopped working again with the same fault codes as before. The pump has failed again due to a stuck brush in the motor. repair parts are not available and I've been forced to continue driving my vehicle with reduced braking and handling performance for the last 90,000 miles. The manufacture needs to get it together and produce parts that will not fail and they need to be replaced at their cost.

    A Hydraulic Control Unit malfunction resulting in multiple warning lamps flashing on and off intermittently - including the ABS, the EBS, the Traction Control, and the Cruise Control. This is apparently a known issue with this model year truck and is inclusive of a class action lawsuit, yet there has been no recall. This failure results in unpredictable breaking and/or the ability to break and operate, especially in slippery conditions. This replacement repair is estimated at $1,100-1,300 on top of incredible uneasiness to operate the vehicle.

    This has been going on since May of 2022 Every time I start my truck I get a warning that my ABS is not working and that my electronic braking needs to be serviced. While these lights are active, I have no ABS, traction control, or cruise control. After about 10 to 15 minutes of driving, the warnings go out. The lights sometimes will stay off for twenty to thirty minutes, but normally flash on between off and on at random intervals. I also noticed that I immediately loose ASB and traction control during emergency braking. The lack of ABS has recently caused me to lock up the wheels on wet concrete while towing a camper as a car cut me off to exit the highway. The lock-up caused the trailer to jack-knife, and nearly roll over an embankment. I
