2017 RAM 2500 Complaints

ABS light and traction control light coming on , cruise control will not work. I took it to a Ram dealership and it they advised me that it needed a new HCU, then they advised me that the HCU cannot be ordered until after February 2024. I cannot get a inspection sticker in my state (Virginia) with the ABS brakes not working properly and I’m afraid the truck braking system and cruise control not working.

The ABS Hydraulic Control Unit has failed for the third time and the dealer says parts won't be available until middle of NEXT YEAR! This drastically affects braking performance and negates the safety feature increasing the likelihood of an injury or death from improper braking

Part Failure: ABS Module Part Failure: HCU Module Braking System Failure Safety concern This failure has been repaired 3 times ABS/Traction Light on/Warning chimes

I took my truck into Don Franklin Dodge Ram in Somerset, KY for service as I was receiving an audible alert and message on my dash to service my ABS braking system. I was informed that this is a known issue and may become a recall. The $600+ part was ordered, but on back order until around February, 2024. While towing my 30 foot camper a car pulled out in front of me and I had no trailer brakes. It was a terrifying situation. Having to wait until February puts me dead in the water for pulling any of my trailers safely.

The service ABS light warning comes on frequently. I took it to a local RAM dealer who confirmed. They stated that the code for pump motor general failure needs HCU and ABS module. They also stated that this has been a massive component failure across several years, and that replacement parts cannot even be ordered until March 2024!!! Obviously, if this is as widespread a braking problem across several models and years, Stellantis/Chrysler should do something to correct this widespread issue. People are driving on public roads without operating brake systems.

ABS failure lamp on. I was told by the dealer that my truck is safe to drive, and the part was going to be 5 months out. Well, I'm only safe until I have to make an emergency braking decision. I've been told I'm not the only one with this problem. I think this should be a recall.

Code C002001, ABS pump motor control general electrical failure. the ABS and traction control light is on. this issue is very common now . please help

ABS and Traction Control warnings cycling on and off randomly. Warnings are off only for short periods and are on most of the time. Cruise control is not working when the warnings are on which causes a sudden unexpected drop in speed on the highway when a warning cycle occurs. Two dealers have advised that the unit is faulty in manufacture and design but no replacement parts are currently available. Unfortunately I am unable to replace the vehicle and must continue to drive it without these important safety features.

Failure of ABS pump module and ABS electrical connection has taken place and is available for inspection. This failure has caused failure of my ABS system, traction control system as well as my ability to use my trailer brakes when hauling which I have to do on a regular basis which in turn puts all drivers around me in danger as well as myself and any passengers I have while driving. Problem is repeated on a fairly regular basis however I am unable to know when it will or will not occur. It has been looked at by a service center with codes sent to local dealership who stated “those parts are under engineering review and are unable to be ordered through normal procedures” however he stated he would be able to put in a special request to Mopar to get one of the “under review” parts sent to his dealership. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than my local service mechanic. The problem has been associated with alarms, abs lights, traction control lights and multiple messages on my dash board screen hundreds of times while driving long distances.
