2017 RAM 2500 Complaints

Left front caliper locked up upon lightly pressing brake pedal and brake pedal pulsing while towing approx 10k lbs. ABS and traction control light were illuminated. C0020 code - ABS Pump motor control. Truck has had 4 other similar issues without locking up caliper yet resulting in replacement of HCU and ABS model. At 58,536 miles truck has been at dealer for 60 days needing 5th replacement of HCU and ABS pump that is not available to order per RAM Customer Care case# 85015233

ABS light and alarm come on and goes off at random intervals. This issue was repaired before on 10/06/2020 and now the issue is reoccurring. The original ABS code on the system was C0020-01 (ABS pump motor control - general failure). The HCU part #68143491AA was replaced and the issue corrected. My concern is that the ABS is disabled on the vehicle once the condition occurs and could result in loss of control during a hard or panic stop. I pull a 12,000 lb camper and am concerned that if a hard stop occurs the truck could start sliding and cause the truck and the camper to lose control.

Faulty break module. Dash reads service antilock break system, ABS light on in dash, traction control light on as well. Cruise control will not work because of this issue. Intermittent occurrences at first, now constant after 3 years. It has been taken to multiple dealerships, while under warranty with these exact problems. No results! An independent service center diagnosed this issue and has ordered the part. Have been waiting two months now still nothing.

The service abs and anti lock brake light comes on and off. I have talked with 3 different dealers and they all told me the abs module is probably bad . The part is on backorder for the last year, so I can’t get it fixed.

ABS / Traction Control lights began intermittently turning on. After roughly 5k miles, the lights are on all the time. The truck is throwing code C0020-01. From looking around online, this is certainly not a unique situation. The fact that there is an updated HCU (P/N 68143491AB) to be released later this year, shows that this is a known issue.

As I got in my truck and put the key in the ignition, my driver side power seat started to move forward on its own and would not stop, forcing me to open my door and remove my legs before it pinned my legs or worse, the seat stopped at the fully forward position with only a few inches between seat and bottom of dash.

Recently there has been a number of reports stating the Engine Pre-heater electrical connector has become corroded causing the connector to overheat, rust, and eventually dropping the bolt nut to fall into the intake manifold where the lose nut is succeed into one of the cylinders causing major mechanical damage to the diesel engine. One article was mentioned and posted on Bank Power website, article: RAM Insider Talks Bolt Failure, regarding the intake manifold part# 12B1023A163.

ABS and traction control systems are malfunctioning. Dodge dealer states that the abs module and hcu need to be replaced which both are on back order. Roughly $1500 worth of parts and labor are required to fix issue at my cost. Truck has 80,000 miles currently and problem started about 1000 miles/month ago. Both abs and traction control lights flash on/off constantly.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 2500. The contact stated while entering the vehicle, she noticed that the inside of the window and dashboard was covered with moisture. The contact stated that the rear basins were also filled with water. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing both rear cab vents and brake lights to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 49,584.
