2017 RAM 3500- Wasilla, AK
The ABS brake system control module HCU is failing vehicle is available for inspection I’m not sure if the brace are going to work or not the traction control is affected. Vehicle is not safe to drive long distance. The vehicle has not been reproduced for a dealer or independent service center. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer or the police or the insurance representative or any other Agency? I was driving along when I got the notice on my dashboard. My ABS module was malfunctioning and then it quit malfunctioningand then it started malfunctioning again, right now it is back-and-forth at random. A call to the local dealer service rep said that the parts not available and they do not know when it will be. My concern is it safe to drive or not?

2017 RAM 3500- Kewaskum, WI
2nd time truck has warning lights on related to ABS, electronic braking system with no parts available from manufacturer - HCU. Truck is set up to tow a gooseneck trailer. Loss of braking capacity has put me in hazardous situations as the problem is intermittent. Previous repair, where dealer stated my rotors were bad with fewer than 20k miles, was expensive and tech said it could be related to the electronic braking system failure causing rotors to malfunction. No remedy from manufacturer is unacceptable as I'm unable to use my vehicle and if I did, I could be in a situation causing a major accident with no brakes.

2017 RAM 3500- Warrenton , VA
The ABS system has deactivated along with traction control and all the lights are on the dash with a message that says service electronic brakes system. Stellantis claims that I am not included in the recall even though my model year and model match others being recalled and the part needed to complete the repair is the one that is being redesigned because the original one is faulty. Please help!
