I had to have my ABS module replaced because ABS fault on my dash lit up. A few months later the ABS fault light is back on. The parts they put on is junk. I cant keep paying the ridiculous price of this repair when it doesn't fix the issue. Reading thru the forums it has been a issue for many many years. I cant use my cruse control when this alarm goes off and I would like for my ABS to work the way it was intended for.

I was driving my truck when the Service Electronic Braking System warning came on. Then the service the Anti-lock Brake System warning came on. Both warnings were flashing on and off. I took the truck into my mechanic which is an independent service center, American Muffler, in Burlington WI, on 10/23/24. I was told that the truck needed an ABS module and the Hydraulic Control Unit, but the mechanic was having problems getting the ABS module from the dealer, Miller Motors, in Burlington. I was told that Miller Motors needed authorization to sell the part, and it was pending. American Motors continued to call Miller Motors for updates and was told it was still pending. I finally picked up my truck on 11/04/24, without it being fixed. I drove the truck to my hunting land (about 120 miles), on [XXX]. The warnings continued to flash on and off periodically, on the trip. I stopped at Petersen Dodge, in Waupaca WI, to see if I could buy the ABS module there. Petersen Dodge didn't have one in stock but located one at a dealer in Janesville WI. I put money down at Petersen Dodge for the part and the part was going to be shipped to Petersen Dodge, where I was to pick it up. I was called the next morning and told by Petersen Dodge that the Janesville dealer cancelled the order. On 11/09/24, I tried to find the ABS module at Mopar.com National estore. They routed me to the Janesville dealer where it showed one in stock. I purchased that one online. On 11/11/24, I received an email from Mopar.com asking me for my VIN. I responded with the VIN. On 11/12/24, I received an email and phone call from Mopar.com stating that they were cancelling the order. On 11/15/24, I drove back home. The ABS indicator light and the Traction Control light were on the whole trip. I'm not sure if the truck is safe to drive this way, but I can't find anyone to sell the ABS module. I attached receipts and emails of me trying to buy the ABS module. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2018 Ram 35000 with only 33,000 miles has recently been providing numerous ABS and Electronic Braking System warning lights. They are intermittently and can sound several times continually or they can go for several miles with no alarms. It appears that this is a well known issue with Ram trucks that I believe the manufacture should repair as it is a safety concern.

ABS warning light & Traction control warning lights coming on and off intermittently. Found problem to be a bad HCU assembly. There seems to be a reliability problem with this brake HCU assembly. Other Ram trucks have a recall for this same problem & this is the second time this HCU module has failed on my truck. The first failure was in March of 2022 when the truck had 46002 miles. The unit was replaced at that time and Chrysler paid for the replacement. This latest failure was the same HCU module and it failed in October of 2024 when the truck had 76563 miles.

I am getting a warning on my dash to "service electronic braking system". I took it to the dealer and they told me the ABS Module and HCU internal failure. My truck only has 31,245 miles on it and I do not believe this important safety system should be failing so soon.

The service antilock brake system is constantly going off and the dealer says there is nothing they can do and no parts are available. We took it in and they ran a diagnostic and said they didnt know why and will not help us.
