    My vehicle has a recall for a an ABS control module which affects, the ABS system, traction control, and cruise control system. The cruise control system will randomly turn off when the vehicle is at highway speeds causing a momentary struggle to keep control of the vehicle. The driver information display in the gauge cluster will randomly flash an error message with an audible "ding" which is highly distracting while driving. At times, this warning flashes every 3-5 seconds and lasts for 10-30 minutes at a time making it very difficult to concentrate on driving the vehicle. The traction control system fails when the message flashes which has been a problem on wet roads. The dealership has acknowledged the recall of the ABS module multiple times and indicated the manufacturer has not made a fix available for nearly a year. The issues with my vehicle are becoming more apparent and frequent every week. This is the second Ram 2500 I have owned that experienced a failure of the ABS module. I began to notice the issues with this vehicle in July of 2023 and the frequency has dramatically increased in recent months.
