Have constant issue with ABS system with skid control. Light on and off when you first start for several miles then every few miles. Had it serviced and still issue

Truck spun out with my baby in the back seat due to not have abs or traction control due to a abs and hcu failure.

The traction control and ABS warning lights come on and go off intermittently without cause. When the lights are on, anti lock braking and cruise control are non functional. The ABS portion of this issue is an extreme safety hazard. This is a known common issue of this year vehicle

Truck has only 11,500 miles Flashing service anti locking brake system —& ABS and anti skid lights also flashing Took to Ram -ABS module needs to be replaced around $1200 to fix

I am the second owner of this vehicle. Shortly after purchase (mileage 26,401) the Hydraulic Control Unit (Control for Anti-lock braking system) failed. Dodge dealer installed OEM replacement in March 2022. The same component (Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)) failed again July 2023. Dodge dealer scheduled service/replacement for August 3, 2023. Upon delivery of vehicle for service I am told Chrysler has blocked dealers from ordering any HCU nor are they to use any current inventory on hand. Chrysler has initiated an "engineering investigation" into these parts and is seeking another manufacturer to supply going forward. Chrysler estimates a part may become available by February 2024. Vehicle is used for towing and has no anti-lock braking system in the mean time. I believe this could pose a safety issue.

My ABS control module was replaced 2 years ago by David Stanley Dodge in midwest city oklahoma. It is failing again and i have discovered a lot 2017 & 2018 ram 2500/3500 trucks are having the same issue. Last time it cost $800 to fix. I now have to take it back in again to have it fixed again. This is unacceptable. Ram should be recalling this issue on these trucks.

The ABS system failed. It flashes on and off randomly. I pull a lot of trailers not having ABS is not safe for me or anyone around me. I Tried to get it fixed but the parts are more then a year out is what a dealership told me. The dealership was able to see the problem. I have 2 friends that have a 2018 and a 2017 Ram 3500, and both have the same problems.
