The ABS module has been out on my truck for almost a year and RAM still hasn't released a part. According to forums on the internet for this year model and others, this has become a common issue. I am driving my truck without the ability to use my ABS system. I have called RAM customer service and my local dealer(s) several times and a part is not available. I can't get a response from my case worker with RAM. This should be a recall issue.
There was a recall for High Pressure Fuel Pump. Part ended up exploding and debris getting into fuel system, which made engine faulty. Found out just today there is a recall for ABS system, which ABS light has been on for 3 months The vehicle has shut off on the freeway 5 times, always on the freeway which was dangerous. The vehicle has been inspection and worked on by Ram dealership but they cannot find remedy for the vehicle. Yes the engine light was on and the ABS light is on currently. After new engine and PCM was installed the engine light went off but vehicle shut off last night which was (10/17/2024) now there is a red light blinking
ABS / BRAKE / TRACTION CONTROL/CRUISE CONTROL I am having problems with the list above. I have had my brakes, rotors and abs sensors replaced. Not to mention the dealership (Nyle Maxwell -Killeen, TX) supposedly did thorough check up and also changed out all the brake necessities a few years back. *** will NEVER take my truck back to them EVER.**** The problem is because of this, I am a hazard to be on the road. My brakes work, but may give out at anytime if too much pressure is applied. This is due to a faulty ABS Module. Through no fault of my own, I'm having to pay out of pocket for a fix that the MANUFACTURER is responsible for. ****Please issue a RECALL on the part. It will save you lives and money in the long haul.**** I've always loved Dodge/Ram Trucks. Please issue a recall.
ABS control module failed while driving. This also took out cruise control and electronic stability. This can cause brakes to lock up and/or a loss of control in inclement weather.
The ABS Control Module for 2014-2016 Ram 1500 trucks I'm getting a C2200 fault code; basically "ABS Module Internal Fault". My truck, like those of numerous other Ram owners, has a malfunctioning ABS Control Module. Because of this malfunction, the ABS and cruise control do not work. In turn, this places me and other owners of this vehicle in an unsafe situation in that lack of an operating ABS system is conducive to skidding and accidents.
My problem is with my Ram ABS/Traction control, cruise control doesn-??t work, 4 wheel drive will not engage. Having only rear wheel drive makes it hard and dangerous to drive on snow covered roads. Almost hit a semi head on because my traction control and 4 wheel drive doesn-??t work. I-??ve been waiting almost 2 years for a new ABS controller. Chrysler has put the part I need on back order like 5 times in the last two years and winter is coming and it-??s not safe to drive my truck on snow covered roads. I don-??t know what to do. I-??ve seen and heard lots of people having the same issue with the RAM trucks. Please help. Thank you!
Warning messages stating to service ABS system, as well as service electronic brake system. Warning lights for the ABS, traction control, and parking brake come on on the dash. Usually comes after cold start in cooler weather.
ABS system. Says as soon as the vehicle is turned on. "Service Antilock Brake System" Then it Says, "Service Electronic Brake System" Then it says, "Service Trailer Brake System" and lights are on the left gage. The ABS and the Traction control. 3 times since taking my vehicle to get service the first time I have lost control. Once near my home turning into my street, my vehicle lost control and went into ditch. Second time it was raining, and light turned, and ABS did not engage and almost hit another vehicle. 3rd time my son was getting on the ramp and he lost control getting into the interstate was not raining but road was wet from rain earlier in the day. The licensed shop told me that Stellantis had so many of these and that of so many failures they had to change the way the module was made this was in March 2024. Now this is August 30th and after 3 weeks at a Ram dealer they called me to pick up my truck because the part is still not available to replace. They said that they are so many of these vehicles affected that they are not even allowed to place an order. So again, I am on the road with a vehicle that is a danger, and I can't fix because of the negligence of Stellantis.
I was driving the truck when the light came on for EBS (Electronic Braking System) and the steering wheel locked up then the truck dash read a warning stating "Service Power Steering". Through my research on Kelly Blue Book this is a common problem with this year make and model of Ram 1500 pickups yet mine doesn't have this as a specific recall. I also have an issue with the exhaust manifold bolts rattling loose separating the exhaust manifold separating from the rear of the engine block at the head. My father owns a 2014 Ram 1500 and had that same issue with his exhaust manifold and I know 3 other gentlemen that had the issue with the exhaust manifold I was wondering seeing as these are common problems with this generation of Ram 1500's if I could have these 3 issues put out as recalls on my specific Ram 1500 because with these common problems I feel like I shouldn't have to come out of pocket to pay for them. Please consider my complaint. Thank you.
the abs module brake setstem has not been working properly for about 9 to 10 months. when I call to see if dealership they keep telling that their engineers are still working on the problem. the problem can go out anytime. i would like for the NHTSA to investagate the problem. I was told that this problem is a big safety problem.
I have experienced a total ABS module failure. According to MOPAR this part is under engineering review and a replacement part cannot be purchased from this corporation whatsoever. MOPAR has refused to state any resolution for this problem and there is no expected due date for this part to be available again. I was told by MOPAR and the dealership where I bought this truck to go to a junk yard and buy a used one. This is complete unacceptible.
while driving the abs, traction control, brake lites came on, also cruise quit an service abs brake and service trailer brake appeared on dash this happened in april 2024 it does this evertime you crank it after a mechanic lookibg at it an me calling dealerships an looking on line there is thousands of ram trucks with this problem stallantis has known about part defects an stopped the production of it but they are not producing new ones so peoole like me that has only one vehicle are have to drive these unsave vehicle there is a class action lawsuit but it only list 2017 -2018 my truck is 2016 and on ram truck forums there are even 2015 with problem i am stuck with this unsafe truck because i cant sell it when there is no part to fix
Vehicle lights on dash show -??service electronic braking system-??, brake light is on along with traction control light and abs light. Truck has 57k miles on it. Independent service used a code reader to determine abs module is bad. Dealer shows part on continual engineering hold. Due to the fault, no abs and no cruise control. This presents a serious safety concern for me and my family.
The warning lights for the ABS/electrical braking system module has come on with no issue with the vehicle's braking system.This causes the cruise control and anti-skid devices not to work. Upon trying to order a new module through tbe dealership, I have received nothing except the excuse that the release date for this module keeps changing. This has been happening since September of 2023. My concern is that if at some point there is an issue with my braking system I will not know due to the malfunction of the module. I have contacted Chrysler to no avail. They say the part is no longer being manufactured and I will have to obtain one through aftermarket makers. I have researched and checked on my own and with help from mechanics and this part is not made/available through aftermarket makers. Chrysler will not release the parts already made stating they do not want to provide me with a possible defective product. My argument is the product they have supplied in my vehicle is defective and they will not make it good by supplying a quality replacement. Therefore, they are putting their customers safety/lives at risk.
My service ABS Brakes light came on over a month ago. I took it into my service center and they told me they're unable to repair it, because the ABS module needed for it is not available. I took it into the local Dodge Ram dealership today and they told me the ABS module has been on backorder since Sept. 2023. They said they were supposed to have them in hand this past May, then this August. He read me a bulletin that stated the part is now under engineering review and will likely NOT be released until later this year. I live in Virginia, and we have state inspections. This vehicle is used every day to get me to and from work. It's a 2016. With the red brake light on in the dash, I can't get it inspected. I'm now paying for a vehicle I can't drive, can't get repaired, and have no available resources to get another car. Please help!
Took my 2016 Ram 1500 to the dealership for ABS light. The dealership told me the ABS control module has failed and they could not fix it because their are no controlers avaible because of issues with the ABS control module. They told me to be careful because your brakes could lock up and cause truck to slide out of control. It is the only transpertaion to get my dad back and fort to the hospital to haul his power wheel chair
In December 2021, my husband, [XXX] and I purchased a 2016 Ram 1500. We currently only have 37,600 miles on it. Last month, my husband brought the truck into the dealership because the ABS light would occasional light up. We were advised that the ABS module needs to be replaced, but the part was backordered and has been for years apparently. On July 11, 2024, I called and spoke to MOPAR RAM representative Kimberly (Case No. [XXX]) and was told all ABS modules for RAMs are under "engineering review" that there was no eta on the parts and that they could do nothing. Obviously we have put very low millage on the truck and only purchased a few years ago. Having an ABS issue is considerably a huge safety concern and renders the truck un-drivable. When I discussed with Mopar's service representative, she said she could do or tell me anything further. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
