ABS module needs replacing. Part on Backorder for a year, won't be available till July 2026. RAM is offers no alternative. 3rd party vendors are saying the computer chip controlling the module has been discontinued by its maker, and in reality, there are no more new modules being produced. Car has no ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY CONTROL.
Upon start get dash message "Service Electronic Braking System". When that goes away I'm left with these lights: ABS, Antilock system symbol, and BRAKE. As a result of this I have NO CRUISE CONTROL as well. Took the vehicle to Johnson Dodge dealership in Budd Lake, NJ. They told me the ABS modules are on back order for a year. Also that the replacement parts have been DISCONTINUED BY DODGE. No ETA available. I travel mostly hightway without ABS or cruise control. I worry about decreased stopping distance constantly. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY THREAT TO ME AND PASSENGERS. The internet is full of complaints for the same problem.
The ABS control module and pump failed. ABS Light, Traction / Stabilitrak light / Brake Light on Vehicle was diagnosed by the dealership Dec 16, 2022 was given quote to repair but the parts were not available and back ordered. Been reaching out since to have truck repaired multiple dealerships but ABS module is not available no ETA been driving vehicle as is Currently ABS module is still not available no ETA now and vehicle is rendered in operable due to the ABS Module failure There have been multiple complaints of this issue, yet nothing is being done.
ABS MODULE 68295368-AC failed. Prevents anti-locking brakes to function. Only have hydraulic brakes which will allow the vehicle to go into a skid. Does not allow the cruise control to function. This part has been on back order from my dealer since February 25, 2025. I have checked on the statis and have been told they are not even allowed to place any more requests for new customers with this same defected abs module. There is no after market part available for this model. Only option is to spin the wheel and hope for a working part from a salvage yard. There were recalls for previous models and later models. There are thousands of us, if not more with this problem. When will Stellantis be held accountable and get us the required part. With warning lights on the dash board for brake and traction control, there is little value to try and sell or trade my Ram 1500. Who would by it? With the defective abs module not only am I at risk, but other vehicles on the road could be endangered.

ABS Module tested by independent service to be defective. ABS, antiskid and brake lights all on. Cruise control disabled. Available for inspection. No -??incident-?? has occurred other than having no antiskid function which poses a risk in wet conditions as well as fatigue issues on long drives with no cruise control! ABS Module has been on manufacturer nationwide back order for over 2 years with no end in sight and no alternate resolution offered. Unit was under 3rd party warranty initially but it-??s been so long it is now not covered.
failure of ABS control module. This disables anti lock brake system, traction control & cruise control. There are hundreds of this modules on back order. Not one of parts suppliers have this part & do not know when they will be available. I reached out to corporate & they don't either
My Ram truck ( with extended manufacturer's warranty) has a faulty ABS module which has resulted in not having the ABS safety feature. In addition, this failed module renders speed control inoperative, thus increasing fatigue on long trips. The diagnosis was from July 29, 2025 by a Sulphur Springs dealer [very nice folks]. I have reached out to them several times and was told the part is still on backorder, with no ETA provided. I am hearing that this is a widespread problem, and it seems that we need to bring NHTSA to bear on the manufacturer-?? ?
5 months since ABS module failure. No ABS, rendering vehicle illegal to operate. Same issue with newer vehicles but my year not included in recall nor are there parts available to repair on my own. Law states 10yrs parts availability which I believe is whay they are holding out to not have to deal with this masive issue. The problem is negligence. Sensitive component in area prone to water and so physical seal protecting parts.
The ABS module has had an internal failure for a couple of years now, and since it had just over 50,000 miles on it, the code in the ABS is C2200-49, it turns off traction control and makes the Ram 1500, unsafe to drive, you guys made them do a recall for the ram 2500, and ram 3500, for the same part, it's time to make them step up and stand behind their ram 1500, also! Braking systems are very important to the public, and you obviously have enough proof that there is a problem, and this system fails so often, it is impossible for me to even find a replacement part, it's on impossible back order, which also proves the part is defective, in the 2013-2018, I believe. Please help, these things are thousands of dollars for the replacement part, and they fail so often, I can't even get one.
The ABS system and cruise control are currently inoperative. The ABS module has been diagnosed as faulty, but the replacement part from Chrysler is on a year-long backorder
ABS control modules are all out of stock, everywhere. This issue is becoming more and more common. I cannot replace the module or have it rebuilt because of a chip shortage, and I do not have ABS on my truck anymore.
Vehicle displayed ABS warning light and message to service electronic braking system. Took to Ram dealer August 2025 and vehicle was diagnosed with faulty ABS module. Service advised that the part was unavailable due to a national shortage for a known ABS module failure problem. Was told to continue driving vehicle because it was safe to operate. Subsequent, related problems presented over following three months: loss of traction control, speedometer failure, odometer failure, brakes failing to release when shifted into drive, and most concerning, loss of power steering while driving on a wet curve that caused loss of vehicle control not resulting in a crash. Three vehicle occupants were left very scared at the unexpected loss of vehicle control. Called dealership November 2025 after loss of control episode and was told the ABS module part was still unavailable. I fear the vehicle will kill us if driven and we encounter an emergency situation. The ABS module failure in this 2016 Ram 1500 model is well documented in public records and was confirmed to me by an authorized dealer.
2016 Ram 1500. Abs system malfunction. Brakes lock up randomly. Abs, brake light, traction control light come on randomly causing brake issues. Very dangerous. Called multiple dealerships. No control module available. No date for part to be available. This is huge safety issue and Ram/fiat are not seeming to care. No sense of urgency from any of the dealerships or manufacturer. Lawsuit could be happening sense this is huge safety problem. Code c2200-49
I first started having issues with the -??brake-?? light illuminating in dash, service electronic braking system, service abs, service trailer braking system (no trailer hooked up) around 8/20/25. I had it check out by a mechanic on 8/28/2025 and he confirmed that the ABS module was bad. DTC C2200-49 stored in ABS module. Inspected wiring and connections and found no issues. I have contacted RAM about the incident. There is a recall on other RAM trucks the same year model but not this one. I have a failed component.
I have a 2016 dodge 1500 hemi 5.7. The chrysler dealership diagnose that the abs module was bad. these abs modules are very rare to find. messages were abs light, check engine light, traction light and speedometer stop working. Thanks for your attention in this matter.
2016 Dodge Ram 1500 truck apparently this is a known issue and the module to fix the antilock brake is impossible to get. I have been researching this and I have thus far not only my year make and model truck but other Dodge trucks with the same failure and not able to get the module. The Dodge Dearler in Hayesville NC ordered this part and I call frequently to inquire as to its arrival. this is a safely issue that need to be addressed
