2017 RAM 2500 Complaints

Anti-lock break system malfunctioning. This module has already been replaced once in 2021 by a dealership. Now the module is malfunctioning again and needs to be replaced. This affects the trucks traction control system and cruise control. Meaning the vehicle will slide during winter/rainy weather. There are to warning lights that come on on the dash warning you that this system is malfunctioning.

Abs lights keep coming on and going off while driving. New abs pump and module. Dealer says just put another one on at 1500 a time or more. Countless other people are having same issue

ABS Module needs replaced and the part is unavailable. ABS/Traction Control lights are now on all the time. Previously they came on and off and truck made a dinging noise.

RAM has 18,000+ REAL miles on odometer when ABS / TRACTION CONTROL warning lights came on. Which means no ABS nor Traction assist. Research tells me this is a VERY common problem on several years of RAM trucks. Parts (like ABS modul ) are nearly impossible to get and many replacements have failed thereafter. This is a serious issue affecting many RAM trucks. This is obviously a design / manufacturing issue with this ABS system. No ABS on vehicles made to safely carry loads is lethality looking for a place to happen. The vehicle has been looked at by multiple mechanics and any obvious issues were not observed. Wiring connections were in pristine condition. This vehicle has never been used off road nor in snow / icy conditions. This is absolutely a safety defect that does not even offer OEM replacement parts and when gotten, those gotten fail again!

Abs and traction control light constantly coming on and off as well as an audible warning . This is causing the traction control to turn off and disable the abs brake function.. code in computer is saying module issue. Known problem on this vehicle model.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 2500. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH with the Adaptive Cruise Control engaged, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal to overtake another vehicle; however, after overtaking the other vehicle, the vehicle continued to accelerate independently. The contact depressed the brake pedal; however, the vehicle decelerated temporarily and continued to accelerate independently. The contact pulled to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V332000 (Electrical System, Vehicle Speed Control). The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair; however, the dealer informed the contact that the recall repair was previously performed on the vehicle. The dealer informed the contact that a fee would be charged for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

ABS breaking failure/warning on an intermittent but ongoing basis. Specifically, repeated failures of anti-lock brake modulator valve that causes ABS system to not function properly. Sometimes the ABS warning light flashes on and off, sometimes it stays on for weeks. RAM knows about the problem with part number 68143491AA. They replaced it for me once on 3/1/2022 at 50,650 miles but put in the exact same failing part. It started to fail again September 2, 2023. I had it diagnosed 11/21/2023 (as soon as I could get it in). It's the exact same issue. These vehicles are hazardous to drive. They have a replacement part now 68143491AB, but they refuse to pay for the repair leaving customers to to afford the expensive repair, drive the vehicles in an unsafe condition, or not use the vehicle at all.

While traveling westbound on I-64 at highway speed (~65 MPH), I experienced a complete tire failure of the driver's side front fire. It was first experienced as severe front-end vibration that made control of the vehicle difficult; there were no warnings or other indications of imminent failure. Fortunately, I was able to get the vehicle to the roadway's shoulder without injury or accident. Upon exiting the vehicle, I noticed that the left front tire was flat, and a portion of the tire's tread was protruding above the surface of the tire. Because of vehicle's location/proximity to the interstate, both vehicle occupants were at risk of serious injury if a crash were to occur; the vehicle was also a hazard to passing traffic. Minimizing some risks, we were assisted on scene by the Virginia State Police as well as a VDOT Motorist Assist vehicle until the vehicle was able to be towed away. Tire information: COOPER Discoverer AT3 285/60/20 purchased on 10 July 2021 Mileage at time of installation 56,707, mileage at time of failure 78,622 total miles on tire: 21,915 Tire is available for inspection
