The recall has been out for months and Ram still has no solution, yet parts are available if you purchase them. I paid for replacement for the same ABS issue 3 years ago before it became a recall and now the part has failed again.

In December 2024, I received recall notice C4B for my 2018 RAM 2500 truck. The notice concerned the brake hydraulic unit, which is susceptible to failure. At almost exactly the same time, I started to receive dashboard indicators to check the ABS, but it worked fine, I just assumed that the alert was related to the recall. The recall stated that parts were not available and that I would be contacted when there was a resolution. The notice did not indicate that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. Around [XXX], the brakes began making a grinding sound from both sides of the front wheels. I checked the pads, which seemed fine, and there was no scoring on either front rotor. Coincidentally, I got a flat on the left front tire the day after the grinding noise started. It was in the driveway and I was unable to put on the spare until July 12, 2025, the vehicle sat in the driveway with a flat tire until then. After swapping in the spare on the 12th, I planned to get the tire repaired at my local garage. I began pulling out of my driveway at a few miles per hour. I applied the brakes to maintain a slow speed, and the grinding worsened. As I reached the end of my 30 foot driveway and pulled into the street, I heard a clunk, which I also felt through the brake pedal. The pedal immediately went to the floor, and the vehicle rolled across the street before finally stopping. I was able to back into the driveway and park the vehicle without incident. I contacted my local RAM dealer, and they

I have repeatedly asked the manufacturer and the dealership for a resolution to the antilock brake system failure on this vehicle. This issue has been on going for months and I have no resolution. This is Ram case management # 93024671. My last correspondence is as follows: Dear Stellantis Case Management Team, I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction and serious safety concerns regarding my vehicle, 2018 RAM 2500. This letter follows a delayed response to my initial inquiry about the safety of my vehicle and family, which I find unacceptable. Firstly, I request an immediate and definitive anticipated release date for the crucial part that is pending. The continued uncertainty around this essential component is directly impacting my peace of mind and the perceived safety of my vehicle, my family and the general public. Secondly, I demand a thorough explanation regarding the active fault code on a manufacturer safety device within my vehicle, which your company has inexplicably deemed "normal" and stated the truck is "able to be driven." This assessment is illogical and deeply concerning. If a safety device, such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS) or a similar critical component, registers a fault code, its integrity and intended function are compromised. My fundamental question remains unanswered: If a safety system with a fault code is considered "normal" and safe, then why are such sophisticated safety features like anti-lock brakes installed in the first plac

Logging a second complaint for the brake hydraulic control unit that is already recognized by FCA as a defect that needs to be replaced. I am two years into this failed unit and continue to be told by the dealer and manufacturer's customer service that the replacement part is not available and they do not have a delivery date for this part. In the last two years I have had (4) near collisions as a result of no anti-lock brakes and no traction control. Additionally the cruise control is not active when this part fails and as a long-distance driver this is fatiguing. The contant dinging of the warning light and bell is extremely irritating.

ABS warning light and alarm come on while driving. If you have cruise control on, it then cancels the cruise control. After a few miles the warning light and alarm will go off, and works good for a few miles. Then the same thing happens - warning light and alarm come on again. This has been an ongoing problem, over a year. Went to dealer where purchased vehicle. Was told that Chrysler doesn't have a fix for this and doesn't have parts to fix it either. So there is nothing I can do. No parts to fix, dealer can't help, and meanwhile I have a faulty vehicle which is my main vehicle I drive. The ABS system is real handy here in Minnesota because of slippery roads in the winter with snow and ice.

There is a well know issue with potential failures in the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), which can impact critical braking and stability systems, including ABS, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and traction control. Manufacturer Recall # - C4B NHTSA Recall # - 24V-896 There has been a recall on this issue since Nov of 2024 however, there has been no remedy offered yet on most models affected. I am experiencing this failure on my 2018 RAM 2500. It is noted in the recall that this failure is a safety issue and can cause the car to crash without prior warning. The remedy is know by RAM as they have issued it for certain chasis types. The Brake HCU must be replaced. I believe RAM's delay for a remedy is simply the cost and they are willfully putting lives in danger over financial impacts.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
