    The service light for a electronic Brake System as well as the light for Electronic ABS system started blinking on and off numerous times. I called the dealer to make an appointment and had to wait 2 months to get it in for service. When I got it in for service they told me the issue. They said it will be covered under my extended warranty. However, the part is in Engineering hold and is not available for ordering untill February 22, 2024. I need my truck. Can't wait 5 months for it to be ordered and shipped. That is if they release for orders in the 21st. Now my truck is setting in the dealer back lot, unsafe to drive they have told me. This all started while driving. Fortunately I didn't have an accident or and incident before getting it to the dealership.

    ABS and Traction Control lights and bells and alarms going off saying need to Service Right Away. Called dealer and told not to drive truck till fixed. but the parts are and have been on back order for over a year because there are so many trucks with this issue and its going to cost me close to $2,000. to get this issue fixed. Its a faulty item not of my doing. Needs to be a recall on this issue. In the mean time I am with out a truck.

    This is an ongoing problem and it appears to be affecting other owners of this vehicle as well. The code is C0020-001. The ABS/Traction control light comes on - a message to service the Anti-Lock braking system comes on - and the cruise control does not work. This happens intermittently sometimes 20 times in a minute, sometimes it's 20 times a day and sometimes I can go 2 or 3 days without it coming on at all. It's very frustrating and unnerving as the cruise control just drops out while you're driving which is not safe. The ABS also does not function with this issue. This issue needs to be addressed. Additionally there is a parts shortage for this repair most obviously because the parts are in short supply with everyone needing to make this repair. There are countless other people who are having this issue besides myself. Please issue a recall. This is not safe.

    The ABS and traction control light are coming on and off and malfunctioning with a dinging bell alert. With a message that says service antilock brakes soon. On wet roads the steering seems off and brakes lock up. Very unsafe, The Ram dealer said the parts to fix are under engineering review and not available until February 2024. My truck is a 2017 Ram 2500 with19,850 miles. I bought the truck new

    Currently 73K on the vehicle. "Service Electronic Braking System", keeps appearing on the dash indication lights, also, "ABS Failure". the problem is intermittent. Through out the driving process approximately 2 hours a day, this incident will start ad start 5-15 time during this drive. Cant't replicate or recreate the problem every time. No controls. I haven't notified the dealer, waste of time, only if you pay them for a diag fee. One doesn't know when a accident will happen, unfortunately I have no confidence in the system to protect me as it was intended
