My trucks ABS keeps cutting off, it’s operation is intermittent. This also disables the cruise control and traction control. I have researched this on this year and it’s a problem with many of doges trucks. The dealer has no fix for this safety issue.This is an on going issue that happens every time i drive the vehicle.

Cruise control quit working when towing my trailer with tractor loaded. Service antilock brake system and service electronic brake system messages and lights on dash showed. Would occur intermittently, then became more steady. Took to dealer today, 6/19/2023, and was told no part could be ordered to fix this. Dealer advised they do not have an answer/fix. May have by August 16. Seems a long time to wait for a brake system solution/fix.

ABS Braking System Failure. Safety is at risk as the manufacturer has advised to park the truck and not operate. The issue has been confirmed by the dealer and confirmed the risk and also advise to park. Yes warning lights are present on the dash for the problem. The components are currently still in the vehicle and new are not available per the dealer and manufacture.

My ABS Light is on and Service Electronic Braking System warning is on as well. I have taken it to a repair shop and they have told me that my ABS Hydraulic Control Unit needs to be replaced. This seems to be a problem with this make and model truck and it is an expensive repair.

Over the last couple years the Service 4WD warning light would come on causing the vehicle to drive erratically. However this was intermittent and the light would go out after turning the truck off and then on again. Dealers could not diagnose the problem unless there was a code showing. Finally my local dealer found a stored code and diagnosed the problem as a failed front axle actuator.

When I bought the truck (in Feb 2022), the dealership had just fixed the abs module. It had 87,000 miles on it when i bought it. About a year later (Feb 2023) it started dinging and flashing the abs error again. Shuts off or prevents cruise control from working, constantly dings and flashes the error while driving. Dodge said the part is on backorder and I'm waiting for them to be able to get it in to fix it.. .
