2017 RAM 2500 Complaints

2017 Ram 2500. 24,000 miles While driving at any speed, warning lights and chime intermittently come on. Display reads "Service Electronic Braking System" and "Service ABS". ABS and Traction Control lights also illuminate on the dash. Sometimes the chime will come on and off so fast that the truck is constantly chiming which is very. Sometimes the warning lights stay illuminated. Sometimes they go away. Sometimes they flash on a off rapidly. The ABS module and Hydraulic control unit have already been replaced under warranty at 15,000 miles. I have been waiting for the parts to repair for over 8 months (since August 2022) with a promised part mid April. Upon contacting servicing dealer Daimler Chrysler has put this part under “engineering review” AGAIN with a new ETA of sometime in August 2023 for part availability. Safety concern is improper braking while ABS component is active or constantly going in and out during normal driving or while towing under all road conditions.

An oil leak has formed at 46k miles and it is dripping all over the engine and the entire under carriage of the truck. This is common in the 6.7 cummins. The truck is under warranty but mopar refused to fix the truck. The oil gets on things that cause smoking snd burning smells. This has caused the engine to lose oil pressure and shut off on the highway.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the ABS warning light and the traction control warning light illuminated, causing the Adaptive Cruise Control mode to disengage. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the ABS module part number: HCU68143491AB needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was unsafe to drive in rainy weather; however, the parts were not available for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Bought this truck with 88000 miles in Texas when I got home back to Arkansas the very next week I start having issues with brake occasionally spongy, service abs and traction control lights coming on and off multiple times and cruise control not working. It may work fine then all of a sudden ding and lights come on and shuts your cruise control off I have almost been hit for this issue multiple times.

For the third time I have had a loss of ABS, traction control and cruise control. Almost went off the highway when it was raining and it decided to stop working again. I personally know 3 other ram owners from 2017 and 2018 that this has happened to. Please help this is a major safety issue and ram is not addressing it properly. Ram just replaces the same faulty parts and 2 years later it happens again.

The abs system stops working. The dealership has replaced the abs twice under warranty and now it is doing the same thing the abs light and the traction control light on the dash is on. The vehicle only has 60,000 miles on it and needs it's third abs control module and abs hydraulic pump.

The Service Antilock Braking System warning and Service Traction Control warning illuminate regularly. There are no known problems with the systems but it is unknown if they will work when needed. The lights come on up to one time per second, and sometimes not for days. There are hundreds of people on forums complaining about this, no known fix. Replacing components does not seem to solve the issue. I have video available if needed.

My 2017 RAM 2500 (VIN-HG607103) at 83,015 miles began throwing a code of P2609 which is an air intake heater issue. I found my air intake relay was not working. I replaced it and all good, until the code returned a little over a week later. I then tested the relay and found it good and began to research more to learn that I had the "Bolt of Death" occurring. The bolt on my grid heater plate was broken, however it had not dropped into my engine cylinder. Luckly it was fused to the heater grid plate still. If it had fell off, it would fallen into a cyclinder damaging it and the piston, blowing the engine. There are recalls on new trucks with this engine however not the 2017s yet.

Abs pump and control module built with defective part’s causing pump and module failure which in turn caused break failure
