SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
ABS and Traction control light indicators on dash appeared intermittently. After diagnosing from the dealership, it is advised to changed the Antilock Brake System module. However, the dealership advised there is a block and that they must first change the Hydraulic control unit, although they say it is perfectly fine. While we have not had an accident (luckily) it appears there is an ongoing investigation and multiple lawsuits against Dodge/RAM/Chrysler for this systemic problem of faulty ABS on 2017-2018 Ram 2500/3500. My 2018 RAM 2500 only has 36,000 miles. This failure is premature and potentially very dangerous. The dealer could not advise whether my truck was safe to drive or not even if the indicator lights were off or on. I have not yet had the HCU replacement completed, however will have it completed next week. I am submitting this incident report as a pro-active report as this is a serious safety issue and one that is systemic across too many 2017-2018 Ram 2500. The manufacture is not allowing replacement of the ABS Module until the HCU is repaired which is an additional (Double) cost to the consumer.

ABS and Traction control light indicators on dash appeared intermittently. After diagnosing from the dealership, it is advised to changed the Antilock Brake System module. However, the dealership advised there is a block and that they must first change the Hydraulic control unit, although they say it is perfectly fine. While we have not had an accident (luckily) it appears there is an ongoing investigation and multiple lawsuits against Dodge/RAM/Chrysler for this systemic problem of faulty ABS on 2017-2018 Ram 2500/3500. My 2018 RAM 2500 only has 36,000 miles. This failure is premature and potentially very dangerous. The dealer could not advise whether my truck was safe to drive or not even if the indicator lights were off or on. I have not yet had the HCU replacement completed, however will have it completed next week. I am submitting this incident report as a pro-active report as this is a serious safety issue and one that is systemic across too many 2017-2018 Ram 2500. The manufacture is not allowing replacement of the ABS Module until the HCU is repaired which is an additional (Double) cost to the consumer.
