This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
often experience noticeable braking issues. illumination of the ABS or brake warning light on the dashboard, indicating a problem with the anti-lock braking system. difficulty maintaining proper braking pressure, especially in emergency braking situations or on slippery surfaces, where the ABS should engage. As a result, the vehicle's stopping distance increases, and I have noticed a lack of control during hard braking. In some cases, the brakes feel soft or spongy due to improper hydraulic pressure regulation. Additionally, intermittent or complete loss of ABS functionality has occurred, leading to less stable braking performance.
This is 3rd time I have had ABS failed. Truck only has 66,000 miles on it and this has happened for 3rd time. Has been twice repaired by Ram dealer in Denham Springs Louisiana. Evidently parts are defective. I am original owner. First time happened at 24,700 miles. Second time at 48,200 miles. Third time at 66,000 miles. Evidently bad parts.
The ABS Light along with the EBS light were popping up on the dash every 2-3 seconds. My cruise control quit working. The truck is steadily dinging. I am sure the ABS will not function when this light is on. I am worried the truck will not handle well on wet roads. I have a [XXX] and a [XXX]. Please help me resolve this issue. The code I am getting is C0020 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Traction Control warning light and warning bell comes on after hitting bump in road or just randomly. Anti-lock brakes no longer work and it is a safety hazard. this issue back at about 78,000 miles. This is an ongoing safety problem with Ram 2500's and there is no recall by the manufacturer for a known defective part.
First abs control module was replaced at 27k miles, now the second abs control module has failed again and needs replaced at 49k miles. There are many of these truck that these modules have failed on and the abs will not work.
ABS warning lights keep flashing in my truck, dodge has no fix for this problem, all they say is parts are in redesign and unable. what can be done here?
The ABS and traction control light flash and sound repeatedly. As well as loss of trailer brake control. This is the second time the vehicle has done this. The first time I fixed it as Fam said it wasn-??t covered by the warranty. I replaced the ABS module and HCU on my own dime. This is a major safety concern and should be treated as such.
-??Service ABS-?? and -??Service Electric Brake System-?? cautions alerts accompanied by warning chime, traction control and cruise control failures. Known issue with the Hydraulic Control Unit on this model. Dealer couldn't get parts as they were back ordered and now when available the price has tripled. Replacement parts seem to have the same issue. This started with about 25,000 miles on the vehicle.
Timely as my 2018 2500 seems affected. I've performed no troubleshooting but it is extremely intermittent, either the Service the ABS or Service the Electronic Braking System(s). Usually, a bump in the road makes it come and another turns it off. Sometimes it happens so quickly, only the message and traction control disabled light comes on, sometimes only the chime comes in. Sometimes the message stays up and the brake warning and traction control light comes on, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes a couple of seconds. Always goes away with an ignition cycle. If it's on long enough. For some period of time, it came in when I turned the truck on and off when I released the parking brake. Annoying.
I have been driving my truck around and my abs light keep coming on and off and traction control kept shutting of and it was raining and today out of nowhere it flickered on at a turn and almost caused me to hit a wall and braking C0020-01 is the code i got at oreillys today
ABS and Traction Control Warning lights keep Dinging, almost hit someone an actual person ABS fluttered and failed locked up brakes and missed person by inches. MFG is saying this is NOT a safety issue" When will is be a safety issue missing someone, Killing Someone or crashing my truck and missing myself"
The ABS and Traction control system which is operated through the ABS Module intermittently goes on and off alerting the ABS and Traction control systems are not functional. This causes the Anti-lock braking system and Traction control system to no longer function limiting function under wet or slippery conditions. This puts me the driver and others at risk.
The abs module has gave me issues and now has gone completely out causing no brakes and while it was having intermittent issues causes no cruise control and causes transmission issues which is another thing the transmission has went out again after this is the 3rd time replacing at around 10k everytime
Failure of traction control and ABS system. Causes loss of control in wet and snowy weather. Receiving C0020-01 ABS Pump Motor Control General Electrical failure code.
Failure of abs / hec control module of abs /traction control system...part has been on order for over 2 plus years only 15 k miles and failed.This would result in accident of abs not working properly.
The warning lights for my ABS and traction control come on and off while driving normal driving conditions. Every time they flash it also has an audible ding that is very distracting. If I am using the cruise control when this happens the cruise control will turn off. The ABS system does not work when the lights come on. I am afraid I will be unable to stop. I took it to a local dealer and they confirmed that the HCU unit is defective and needs to be replaced at a price of $1300.
