3 yrs ago, took to dealership for light for electronic brake module, was told that the part was on backorder. Picked up truck and was told that they would let us know when part came in, have called and spoken to at least 11 different service reps and a managers (Dodge as well) over the last 3 years. They close the tickets after a certain amount of time and you have to explain yourself over and over and get the same answer, the part is on national backorder. Our warranty expired 10/2023, there is still no recall on our truck but other truck have a recall. I have tried and called the 1-800 number to get help with this matter and still we have a vehicle that we may cause injury to us or others. Please help!

Abs brake service light is on and off while driving or when hitting bumps or parked and applying the brakes.it intermediate on then off . This is a low miles vehicle and is used basically to tow from time to time.After doing my research this is a problem with the abs system malfunctioning. Haven reported to a dealer yet but research say these parts are in back order for long waiting periods.

Continued intermittent ABS light and "service ABS System" message with annoying / distracting chime, Loss of ABS and traction control, I have had several instances when the braking of the truck has been affected and could have easily caused an accident. Between the braking issues and the constant distraction of the vehicle chiming and alerting of a system issue, this needs to be looked into. the number of complaints does not show the actual number of people that are having the same issues. I have talked with several other owners that have had the same issue and the dealership repaired them but not reporting anything.

C0020-01-ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL - GENERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. Service electronic breaking system Service antilock break system When this alarm happens you lose traction control, ABS breaks, and trailer breaks if towing a trailer this is a huge safety factor.

The ABS and traction control lights come on intermittently on the dash and the message to check the brake system comes on alot. The ABS system doesn't work when the lights are on and they come on alot. This I believe is a safety issue since it came with an ABS system to keep from locking up the brakes when having to brake hard to avoid a collision.

While driving, my "service electronic brake system" and "service antilock brake system" would come on and go off repeatedly. Other times, nothing would happen. Then it would come back on and stay on. Next time, nothing would come on. Shop states that it was antilock brake pump. He said that these are known to be bad but the part is backordered with no timeline available.

When I was returning from a trip across town my "service electronic brake system " came on with a chime and then went out. This was followed by check "service brake system" which also went out. They stayed off for a few days and then did it again. This condition got more and more frequent. I took it to the dealer and was told that it needed a ABS control module. I felt this was very early for an ABS failure with only 30762 miles on the unit. I now have 48845 miles and the ABS light is coming on and off ( with it's chime ) even when I sit at a traffic light not moving and going down the road it is almost constant. I have read in the Ram forums that this is a common issue. I believe this to be a safety issue. Why have ABS if it's not going to work.

The antilock brake system warning light because it's faulty The brake system affects the speed control And they don't have reliable parts to repair
