    72,000 miles on vehicle. Received error messages - service electronic brake system and service abs brake system. The error is intermittent and causes loss of ABS functionality and a potential safety hazard. The repair is to replace the ABS system Module (68437098AB) and the ABS Modulator (68143491AA). This is not a small repair. From reading on the internet, this is component defect and a reoccurring problem on these vehicles, and the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge this as a problem. I am recommending that the NHTSA consider this as a recall.

    Intermittent alert to "Service Electronic Braking System" and "Service ABS System". Will cycle on and off multiple times in a row 3-4 times per minute. Sometimes will go 30 minutes without alert or will stay illuminated. Research of RAM TSB S2005000004 suggests failure of ABS Hydraulic Control Unit and/or ABS Control Module. Commonly reported issue. When illuminated, cruise control does not work. It appears that anti-spin and stability control are inactive.

    While driving down the road my vehicles ABS and Traction control light go on and off, most of the time the lights are stuck on. Causing the vehicle to not have ABS and traction control during the rain and snow months of the year an further more the cruise control does not work. At this point the truck is unsafe to drive in all conditions as it does not retain its safety braking systems, I will not put my family in the vehicle. Moving forward ask my local Ram dealer about the repairs and they say they can not get the parts they have been on back order.

    First got an Service Antilock Brake System and Stability Control light. A couple days later, lost speedometer and park sense lights came on along with "Service Trailer Brakes", but I haven't had a trailer hooked up to this truck ever.

    I have replaced my right rear ABS wheel speed sensor 2 times and still having issues. Cruise control or 4x4 does not work when abs light is on and with 4x4 not working it can leave you stranded if 4x4 is needed

    ABS CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT FAILING. REPLACED COMPONENTS IN 2021 AND 2022 AND FAILING AGAIN IN 2023. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THESE UNITS FAIL THEN IT CAUSES LOSS OF ANTILOCK BRAKING AND SPEED CONTROL
