Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The issue with the Electronic Braking System and ABS has worsened. The two warning lamps are almost constantly on, or rapidly come on and go off rapidly. If I'm towing a trailer, all braking is lost momentarily - brake pedal to the floor - including the trailer brakes. The trailer brakes do not return until an ignition cycle, if the warning lamps stay off, that is. The dealer says no parts are available, but won't even take it in for troubleshooting or attempted repair. This truck scares me. This has been an issue for about two years and 20,000 miles.

My 2018 Ram 2500 had a ABS/Traction Control warning light and I took it back to the dealer 01/12/21 and had the the HDC replaced. Mileage on the truck at that time was 16,220. Warranty covered the problem. Problem returned and took it back to the dealer 04/28/23. Mileage at that time was 24,824. Was told that it was no longer under warranty. Was told the part only had a two year warranty. The dealer didn't have the part at that time due to numerous problems with this system. Truck only has 29,022 miles at this time. I haven't had the part replaced and just have to listen to the warning chime continually sounding. Researching the internet reveals this problem is very common and should be a recall with the manufacturer fixing this known problem. I have the Dealer Service Documents.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
ABS hydraulic control unit motor failure, occurred at 25k miles, just outside of 3 year warranty as I bought truck used from a dealer. Intermittent loss of ABS and traction control with no warning, and constant dinging sound while driving as the motor reconnects and disconnects. Currently have 40k miles, have not repaired as from what I’ve heard from other owners and seen online, the repair is $1000-$2000 depending on dealer, and the repair may only last 25k miles if the part installed is of the same build quality. Many owners have resorted to replacing the ABS pump motor with parts from other makes/models of vehicles, as it seems the Mopar part is dealer-only availability at this point. I have found a dealer source that has a new upgraded part number that I will be ordering from and finally replacing, but I have no hopes that the part will last any longer than others have seen. I am only replacing the part as there is a class action lawsuit pending. My hope is that a safety recall be issued, as this is a prevalent problem in the 2017-2018 Ram trucks.

Currently have 40k miles, have not repaired as from what I’ve heard from other owners and seen online, the repair is $1000-$2000 depending on dealer, and the repair may only last 25k miles if the part installed is of the same build quality. Many owners have resorted to replacing the ABS pump motor with parts from other makes/models of vehicles, as it seems the Mopar part is dealer-only availability at this point. I have found a dealer source that has a new upgraded part number that I will be ordering from and finally replacing, but I have no hopes that the part will last any longer than others have seen. I am only replacing the part as there is a class action lawsuit pending. My hope is that a safety recall be issued, as this is a prevalent problem in the 2017-2018 Ram trucks.
