2017 RAM 3500- Mount Juliet, TN
Service antilock brake system. This problem appeared about one year and a half ago, I took it to the Dodge dealership where after diagnosis, they replaced a valve in the hydraulic system. the cost of the repair was, $800.00. Now as of 12/28/2023, I am having the same problem with the same code and dash brake light and stability control. We need a recall, which will repair these problems, or redesign the parts associated with this system. Now, I am driving a vehicle that is probably unsafe to use. The vehicle is a 2017 Dodge Ram 3500 6.4 liter engine, SRW. Thank you

I am getting the C-0020-01 ABS code. The ABS module and HCU have been replaced and have failed again. This is making the vehicle dangerous to stop in damp conditions.

On many occasions, the backup camera on my 2017 Ram 3500 DOES NOT FUNCTION when placed in reverse. I had my vehicle serviced and the Dealer said no problem with the camera could be found, but they did check all of the connectors were OK. The problem usually happens on wet or high humidity days, but also occurs during nice weather at random times. When the problem occurs, the display just shows random scrambled signal like a TV tuned to a channel with no signal. I noticed a recall that does not affect my model year. I am curious if the recall can be extended to my model year. The campaign for backup cameras is 23V654.

2017 RAM 3500- The Villages, FL
Vehicle alarms indicating loss of anti-lock and traction control systems. Failure results in loss of both anti-lock braking and traction control safety functions Have twice had the ABS control module and Hydraulic Control unit replaced by Ram dealer. Failure returned for third time in July 2023, and have been waiting on same replacement parts since (manufacturer backorder). Vehicle has approximately 83k miles, and this issue has been ongoing since 2019.

2017 Ram 3500 intermittently displayed service anti-lock brake system and service electronic braking system notifications on the dash display while parked and driving. A local dealer diagnosed the fault it as an ABS hydraulic controller/pump failure and stated the replacement part is on backorder with an unknown timeline for arrival. They have informed me that the truck may not perform braking safety functions as intended and advised I should not drive the vehicle until the problem has been corrected.

ABS control module has been back order since June 2023. Abs light flashes and bing on regular bases. Cruise will not work when the ABS light is on. I’ve been on a wait list since June 2023, truck is very annoying trying to drive with constant binging. Towing my 5th wheel is very concerning with on going ABS module problems.

2017 RAM 3500- Summerville, SC
Random occurrences of an audible bell along with error messages stating, "Service Electronic Braking System" and "Service Antilock Brake System" flash momentarily on the dash. They may also stay on for prolonged periods of time. Cruise control is inoperable when the error messages flash, or stay on. The ABS trouble indicator light is also on during these events. The abrupt cancellation of cruise control in traffic is dangerous, especially when towing a trailer. The problem started (for me) just after purchasing the vehicle, used, with 27,428 miles on March 9, 2023. I suspect the pervious owner traded this vehicle on another vehicle because of this problem. I tried to get out of the purchase of this truck because of this problem. Dealer would not allow that without much expense on my end. So, I'm stuck with the problem. It has the potential to be very dangerous. Luckily, I had purchased an extended warranty but the dealer said I needed to wait a month or so before I took the vehicle to a Ram service center so the warranty would be fully established. I purchased the vehicle for pulling purposes and I do that regularly. In the similar cases I have read about, the owners say that the dealers are not helpful and the vehicle has to be kept for long periods of time for evaluation. I have not had time to get it properly diagnosed yet but the problem is exactly like the many others cases I have read about.
