    My ABS and Traction Control components in my 2018 1-ton Ram are intermittently setting codes with the ECU, leading to loss of ABS, Traction Control, and inability to use my cruise control. I am concerned that I have a loss in braking performance without those components operating as designed. I have brought my truck to the local Ram dealer only to be told that the module will not be available for install until Feb of 2024 after an upgraded unit is made available to the dealers. I feel that this should be a recall, as a quick internet search shows multiple owners of the same vehicle are also affected.

    Purchased this truck specifically to tow 14000 lb fifth wheel camper. Two months ago warning chime and “service electronic brake system, Service antilock brakes and Traction Control” caution lights repeatedly activate. I am concerned about towing in this condition if operating on rain slick roads and winter weather. Also the constant chime is a serious distraction. Truck is currently at the dealership for repair. 25000 on the odometer. Truck is out of warranty. These failed safety systems endanger mine and my family’s lives, as well as other motorist and the public.

    Anti-Lock Braking system and Electronic Braking system, service system warning come on and off randomly all the time. When this happens, cruise control does not work. Had it replaced at the dealership once and It started doing the same thing. Took it back and they said they didn’t know what was wrong with it And that they didn’t want me thinking they didn’t want to do warranty work. The warnings were coming on and off more frequent. Don’t know what to do. Do you have any suggestions? This is a safety concern for me.

    ABS and Electric Brake System warning lights are on and off intermittently. These symptoms have been reported by many other owners due to defected part installation from the manufactor based on my internet research.

    Abs light and traction control light comes on and off all day long. Brakes will lock up if you’re using cruise control when the abs and traction control light come on. Both lights come on at the same time. The parts needed for this issue is on back order.
