2017 RAM 3500 Complaints

ABS System, Traction Control and Cruise Control. Issues with ABS system taking out the cruise control and cause vehicle speed to decrease with out control increasing risk of a rear end collision. The manufacturer is very aware of the problem and the control unit is on back order for about 9 months. This is an intermittent problem that some times does not occur during the course of a day and sometimes it will flash 100 times a day.

ABS warning has been going on and off for 2 years This is the same problem that the current class action lawsuits make reference to. I have had this problem for a long time and parts to repair it have not been available. Recently my wife ran into a bullard in a wet parking lot that she felt was a result of the antilock brake system. I only use the truck when it is absolutely necessary due to this problem. It scares me to think that I might not be able to stop this heavy vehicle. I hope this gets resolved soon.

Driving on gravel road and each bump will cause the ABS service light to come on and disable my ABS and ASC to stop working. also on hwy with small bump ABS service light comes on disabling my ABS, ASC, and cruise control. Dealer says part is on back order for the next 9 Months so i must drive my truck without theses Safety systems until the part comes in. Dealer says it is the ABS pump and that it is a know issue and that is why i must wait for 9 months because so many trucks are failing.

The ABS and Electronic breaking lights keep go on and off each time it does it it turns off the cruise control

The grid heater in my engine overheated causing a bolt to lose integrity and snap off being sucked into the # 6 cylinder causing catastrophic damage to the motor while I was towing a trailer up hill. Losing all power on a hill with a trailer seems like a pretty dangerous situation to me. It’s a known issue dating back too 2014 and still hasn’t been fixed my 2017 suffered from the issue and now I’m 2021-2023 models there catching fire and being recalled but my 2017 is not. There’s only 48,000 miles on my truck it’s not old at all and should be in the same recall as the newer models.

My ABS lights come on at 37000 miles, the code reads C0020-01 which is the hydraulic control unit . There are no parts to replace these units which means no ABS brakes . After looking in to this issue it seems to be a issue with the 2017 and 2018 models.

While operating my truck the ABS warning light will activate and and deactivate intermittently. Yes, my vehicle can by inspected upon request. While braking the ABS will not engage causing emergency braking to be much more difficult and dangerous. The ABS failure has been confirmed by my mechanic. My vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance reps. The problem was initially hidden by the dealership that sold me the truck. I don't know how they managed to do it, but the issue was not disclosed by them.

Problem is ABS and traction control light randomly come up with warnings to service systems.
