abs lite comes on. service electronic braking system message. cruise will not work when fault is active. second time for this. fixed first time under warranty. truck only has 60k miles.
2018 Ram 2500-continued failure of ABS system-ABS warning light and service ABS system error code come constantly. When code is on ABS braking system, cruise control, and 4 wheel drive do not work as well. Truck has been serviced 3 times for this issue and dealer says ABS module needs to be replaced but they do not have a fix or the parts available to fix it at this time from Ram.
Abs/traction control lights keep pooping up on the dash. The dealer has changed the abs module and it didn-??t last long. The truck has 28k miles. It definitely can cause an accident because I haul heavy loads a lot. If the abs brakes doesn-??t work correctly I will crash into another vehicle. And it dings/ beeps every time I push the brakes or every time I hit a bump or something. I hope Ram can come up with a recall to fix this issue soon. The contact stated he fixed the ABS issue on the 2018 Ram 2500.
The anti lock brake system has failed on my 2018 Ram 2500. This has been confirmed by the dealer as well as an independent shop. First case was hauling a trailer full of wood, a car pulled out in front of me, I slammed the brake and the anti skid failed, brakes locked up. The only reason I didn-??t completely lose control is my trailer brakes worked and stopped the swerve. Since that day the ABS light has been intermittent and is becoming more consistent. Because the light is intermittent the other symptoms are intermittent to include cruise control and the most critical; traction control. This problem caused me to lose control on black ice in Hastings MI about a month ago and swerve into oncoming traffic. No accident resulted. This is a known problem on this truck and there is a technical service bulletin published as well as a class action law suit. Because of this myself, as well as other owners, are reluctant to pay thousands to fix it because we are awaiting action from your office to drive a recall. I recommend action to implement a recall before someone is killed due to this faulty system. ABS light is illuminated as well as Service Anti Lock Brake System Message. Systems lost are anti lock brakes, traction control, cruise control.
The ABS light goes on and the warning bell starts dinging. This is a safety problem as you don't know if the ABS is working or not. Dealers don't seem to think there is a problem with this. I looked online at [XXX]. And there are quite a few examples of this problem as well as what dealers are not doing. Going to this web site look for "2018 Ram, ABS and Traction Control lights. This seems like an ongoing problem that no one is looking into. One guy took his truck in, and they said they couldn't get parts to fix it for five months, but the truck was fine to drive. 11 blocks from the dealer he rear ended someone because the ABS was malfunctioning. Therefore, this is a safety problem and should be looked into by Ram and a recall issued for repairs. And when the ABS light is on you cannot use cruise control INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Got in my truck one day and my ABS and Traction Control Lights both came on, as well as a notification in my central dash advising to service electronic brake system. At first the lights where intermittent and random. I could start the truck and the lights would be off. Apply the brakes to put in gear and the lights would come on. Drive down the driveway and a bump would turn them back on and pressing the brakes would turn them off. Now the lights stay on permanently. The ABS error code I got was C002001, or ABS pump general electric failure. I called several local mechanic shops and they reported to me that this is a known issue, parts are on backorder. I called the dealership, was advised the same with the addition that Dodge/Fiat, not only new about the issue, but changed upgraded the part and gave me the new part number, which is also on back order. Knowing this vehicle is a diesel and is designed for towing, which is why I bought it, to pull my trailers and equipment, the brake system is vital to stopping the vehicle for my safety and everyone around on the road. If this is a know issue across the nation, this needs to be addressed.
I am receiving intermittent, but frequent, ABS error while driving. The alarm dings and cruise control is disabled. Most times it happens every couple of minutes but every so often, it will go several minutes without the error and alarm noise. It also goes on and off when hitting bumps in the road such as crossing bridges and going over the expansion joints. As off yet, I have not had any troubles braking but am afraid that I might. 1- The ABS/HCU module. Yes it is available. 2- Possible difficulty or failure in braking. 3- It has not been to the dealer yet. I read this is a very common problem but no recall has been issued? 4- No. It has not been inspected yet. 5- Alarm sounding and "Service Electronic Braking System" displayed on dash.
ABS module indicator alarm chime is going off. Dodge says part can't be ordered until June 30, 2024. Vehicle is unsafe and Ram refuses to work with me.
ABS control unit has gone out for 2nd time. Replaced at 15000 miles and at 59000 miles same issue and no resolve from Ram due to parts not available. ABS, ESP, Brake lights continue to show on dash. Cruise control and push button start effected and not working..
This vehicle has faulty or defective ABS braking system. The warning lights and warning chimes have been constantly going off for approx. 2 years. The Dodge/Ram dealerships admits that this is an industry wide defect with 2017 and 2018 Ram 2500 trucks, but say they have no parts to correct the problem. Their suggestion to me was to buy a new truck which is not acceptable or affordable. This was identified by both the dealership and Chrysler as being a safety issue with no resolution from Chrysler or dealer. I use vehicle to transport my grandchildren and livestock and truly doubt my ability to operate safely without the Federally required working ABS system. This is truly a safety issue and an immediate recall is necessary. Ram/Chrysler will not correct issue without recall. I am limited on the use of my vehicle but have no choice as it is my only transportation, thank you.
ABS and traction control lights came on. The dealer said that it was the control module. It has been replaced. There were no braking problems but concerned that it would eventually be a problem.
The truck has low miles only about 50K and my ABS lights go on and off randomly. Now when I am driving I randomly have ABS lights go on and off and I believe that the issue is with that ram ABS unit and control module. I have been told that the fix will involve replacing both pump and control module. I tow with this truck in all weather and it's not safe to be driving without a working ABS. The ABS error code I got was C002001.
Ongoing condition. Automatic break system communication along with traction control. Causes service ABS warning light and traction control warning light. Disables cruise control causing instant and unexpected speed loss. Causes loss of traction unexpectedly with failure.
ABS warning light comes on frequently. It was diagnosed as a faulty ABS pump motor by a Dodge dealership on March 31, 2023. I was told then that the replacement part would not be available till August 2023. I called in August and was told that it would not be available till February 2024. I called in February and was told it-??s not available till June 2024. The Dodge dealership parts manager told me they have 11 trucks with the same problem they are trying to service. So far we have spent over $700 in diagnosing and trying to get the problem fixed.
ABS and traction control go off and on constantly while driving. When doing so lights on the dash come on as well as a loud chime. Besides being very annoying, it makes the vehicle unsafe when not having ABS and or traction control at any given moment. This started happening when the truck only had 5,000 or so miles on it. I couldn't get it "fixed" because of COVID, and the dealerships have no parts/ back-ordered. I've heard that many others with same problem, had things replaced by the dealers ( at their cost) and it comes back again. This should be a recall !!!

I keep getting an ABS/Traction control warning on my 2018 Ram 2500 I was told this is a common issue and the parts for repair would be over $1,000 dollars. I am an ASE certified mechanic in the field of brakes. This is a safety item that should be under a recall if those systems go down not only do you loose the ABS/traction control but you also loose four wheel drive. That makes driving in the northeast very hazardous on roads covered in snow and ice.
