2018 RAM 3500- Dayton, TX
ABS/Service Electronic Brake Control and Cruise Control lights constantly flash and chime while driving. Have been told that replacements parts have been on back order for over a year now. Any help will be appreciated.

The vehicle is displaying a "Service Electric Brake System" message indicating failure of the HCU and ABS system and possibly affecting stability control. There is a lengthy history of this issue with the 2500 and 3500 trucks but no fix, resolution or recall appears to be available for this issue.

Antilock brake warning light that says service antilock brake system comes on often if you hit any bump or rough spot. It continually dings and then the cruise won’t work. We have been told the part to fix it is unavailable. It is a horrible thing that cannot be repaired.

I have been receiving an error for my electronic braking systems and ABS since July of 2023. I have been to various dealerships to have it fixed and have been told it is on a "galactic back order" - words from Dodge to the service advisors. I have attempted several times to contact Customer Care at Dodge over many months. My cases have been closed without resolution and with false promises of management will reach out to assist me. All I need is the 2 parts to be replaced so that I can use my cruise control and not have the constant dinging of the warning for the ABS and EBS. It has been very annoying and if there is such a large back order with others having this same issue, how come there is not a recall? It is the braking system.

The contact owns a 2018 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Electronic Braking System warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer and the contact was informed that the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure; however, no assistance was provided because the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The contact requested to buy the parts to repair the vehicle; however, the manufacturer refused to sell the contact the parts. The failed mileage was approximately 160,000.

Abs module keeps on going out in many rams from 2500 to 3500. Making a alert sound about every 3 seconds making distractive driving I am currently #28 in line for the part in a small town and it's been 2 months now. They need a recall on this. They are being negligent by not saying there is a problem.

ABS and traction light on dash. At 72,000 miles, I'm unable to drive my truck due to ABS module back ordered. Either I drive it and take a risk, or let it sit and rot. Purchased brand new in 2019. I have paid 965.00 monthly since 2019 and still owe 12,000 for a vehicle I do not feel safe in. I can't send a invoice, because the mechanic is not able to fix due to lack of parts.

1. "Service ABS soon" and Service Electronic System soon warning light and alarm occurs at random times. Failure code C0020-01. 2. Unsure if the braking system will actually work when needed. This vehicle is used to tow large heavy trailers and I just don't trust the breaks. 3. Took it to a repair shop since my warranty has expired. 4. No warning prior to failure. Failure occurred Jan 2024.

Bought from a dealership a couple months ago (JAN 2024). Immediately started blinking electronic ABS error. Took in to get serviced, and now maintenance department is stating a replacement HCU and additional service will cost around $3.5k on a vehicle that has around 68k miles.
