For the past month, i have had intermittent displays of "service electronic braking system" and "service antilock brake system". when this occurs, the cruise control becomes nonoperational. a check of the internet shows that these problems are widely experienced by dodge ram owners. the display comes on whether sitting or driving.
Intermittent mil for abs and electronic braking system, became more frequent over 1-2 weeks while waiting for appointment at dealership (out of town). day of the appointment, mil came on and stayed on. dealer read codes and stated 'internal codes found, replace pump and module' then informed me parts were on 'national backorder' vehicle has 46,500 miles at time of failure.
June 26th 2019 my truck felt like it shifted into 4wd on its own, later that day i lost abs, traction control and cruise control. it went to the dealership where it took 3 days to diagnose. was informed that abs pump and abs control module need to be replaced and the part is not currently available. further research of internet forums shows this is a known problem and does not appear to be addressed properly. i am still waiting for my truck to be repaired and there is a warranty on it. dealership allowed me to pickup the truck without the repair and did not provide receipts or work orders because i did not have any other transportation. in heavy rain the truck has become quite dangerous to drive.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram 2500 diesel. the contact stated that the abs indicator illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to an unknown dealer before the 36,000 mile warranty expired in approximately june of 2019. the dealer inspected the vehicle, reset the traction control indicator, changed the fluids, and stated that the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred the vehicle was taken to riser chrysler, dodge, jeep, ram, and fiat (4722 central ave, hot springs, ar 71913, (501) 500-5285) on september 21, 2019 where it was diagnosed that the abs hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. the contact was informed that there was a national backorder for the part and it was a major issue for those vehicles. the vehicle had not been repaired and was still being driven by the contact. the contact left a voice message with the manufacturer and had not been called back. the failure mileage was 39,100.
My abs traction control light came on intermittently prior to 36,000 miles. took to dealer and they could not find problem. with 42,600 miles lights have come on and set a code. ram has said they will not fix the problem. a computer has failed. this is a safety issue and should be corrected by ram. i don't know if this is a continuing problem in these trucks or if faulty parts were placed on mine. i want this issue duly noted. the failed parts are the abs module and the hydraulic control unit. ram has told me that this is my problem when it is in fact their problem which they will not take care of.
