My truck has 85000 miles on it. I have now experienced the ABS and traction control warning lights. They come on and off intermittently. The cruise control does not work when these lights are on. With all the complaints, its time Ram issues a fix under a recall.
Abs and traction control light goes on and off constantly. When the lights come on, traction control doesn't work, brakes don't worry as they should, and 4x4 doesn't work. Almost caused me to have a wreck in the rain with no traction control.
Hello, I have an Anti Lock Brakes electrical motor failure on my vehicle. The motor failed once at 20000 miles and failed again after a warranty replacement at 60000 miles. The part is on national back order for 2 years now and keeps the ABS from being fully engaged. It also disables cruise control and constantly dings. Two Dodge dealerships have confirmed the issue. The code is C0020-01
ABS won't stay engaged causing traction control to not stay engaged and causes cruise control to not stay engaged. Skidding and loss of control are possible without ABS and traction control systems working. Loss of cruise control can cause rear impact from sudden slow down. Same problems are occurring in similar vehicles. Console chimes and ABS and traction control indicator lights come on. Message to service ABS system appears on console.

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.
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)
Driving down the road and the radio randomly changes stations or turns on heated seat or heated steering wheel. It just depends what screen the radio is on.
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.
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.
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.
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.
UNKNOWN Service electronic ABS system light intermittently comes on and off hundreds of times in a ten mile drive. I am reporting this due to finding out that this problem is affecting many many other 2018 Ram owners.
Intermittent Electronic Brake System and ABS Failure messages. Been dealing with this issue for over a year now. Dealership told me I had to wait almost a year before there would be a fix and that-??s if I-??m lucky. The ABS pump motor and the software are both faulty and Ram is aware of how to fix it, and haven-??t. There needs to be a recall for issue, ASAP.
It's clear that my abs module is bad but it consists of three components. Mopar online doesn't have any components available to fix the problem. And the Dealer is selling the components separately and telling you which one they will sell you first and also at a higher price than what's available to you online
Service electronic brake system and ABS light intermittently comes on drive down the road or when stopping. Has been happening for the past 3 weeks now.
Hydraulic Control Unit & ABS Module. 2018 Ram 2500 4x4 Bought truck new, the HCU & ABS Module parts failed issuing constant alarms on dash. Parts were replaced in April 2021 under warranty with approximately 22,000 miles on truck. Now getting the same alarms again and dealer says the Hydraulic Control Unit has failed again. Truck only has 47,000 miles and are in need of replacement again. Looking this up online and there are tons of reports with the same issue on 2018 models. Brakes should be covered in a warranty or recall, IMO.
Starting about a month ago, I started receiving a warning about servicing my electric brake system. Was very intermittent. Spoke to the dealership and they said if it wasn-??t happening right then, they couldn-??t read the codes. If the light went out, I could wait to bring it. Went on a trip, and it started happening more frequently, but still intermittently. I tow a 7-ton fifth wheel, which made me feel very unsafe. Sometimes happens moments apart, and sometimes hours apart, and it always knocks out the cruise control. Looking online, I found that this is a very common occurrence, and that I should report it. I did not have an accident, and tried to do my best to drive safely so I could get home.
