It's been 2 months and there's no fix. Ill happily accept a repair but I want a refund or another vehicle if they can't fix it. I have no ABS or electronic braking system. I've been unable to drive it for years. The part needed is unavailable and dealerships tell me it will be a software update when a fix becomes available when the recall notice says new part. I just want to be able to drive the truck I pay almost 700 a month for. Thank you!

I have contacted multiple dealership’s and have been told that a recall about the ABS HCU module was “completed” yet, Every dealership is unable to provide a place, mechanic or even a work order proving said repairs were completed. My ESC traction control light, Service Anti-lock Braking System, Service Electronic Braking System, and Service 4WD lights are now on. And I cannot get the issue repaired because of a mistake within the system. Joe Cooper Dodge in Shawnee, Oklahoma would not diagnose the vehicle due to the issue mistakenly being marked as “Completed”. Even after making a face to face appearance with vehicle present.

Approximately January 2022, several warning lights illuminated on my dash in conjuction with a warning chime. The warning lights and chime occurred intermittently. My truck was taken to the dealership with only 9710 miles on the odometer. A scan showed a code of C0020-01 ABS pump motor control general electrical failure. Approximately 5 months later a new part arrived and was installed on the truck. There were no issues until February 2025 when the dash warning lights and chime reappeard similar to the first occurrence. The odometer reading now at 16.5K. I have contacted the dealership that performed the original work and they informed me that there is currently no repair for this issue. Having no ABS braking system is a major safety issue, especially when pulling a large travel trailer.

The GPS on the Uconnect radio has failed and the map, compass, and clock do not work. This is a know problem on this radio. The radio loses the ICCID number and the STAR TSB says to replace the radio. The issue is when I travel somewhere and need a map, now I have to look at my phone while driving. This is just as bad as texting. The Ram customer care says the TSB for this issue covers other vehicles but not the RAM truck. The cost to replace the radio is very expensive and I cannot afford to replace it. RAM truck will not help me out. What can be done about this issue. Lots of RAM truck owners are experiencing this issue. The issue started when my truck has about 3900 miles on it. The dealer in the Wasilla AK location was not able to troubleshoot this issue because they were short staffed. I finally decided to take it to another dealer located in Anchorage about 50 miles away.

Fuel/Propulsion System
Filed Feb 16, 2025CA

There is a chronic problem with most Ram trucks, this issue isn't just related to one model of Ram trucks. The problem is when you go to fill-up your tank with gas, the fill neck continues to back up, which requires skill & a lot of patients just to fill your tank. And, this is also a major safety concern due to the high likely hood of an overflow of fuel & possible fire & explosion situation. After much research & being a professional aircraft mechanic, what I found to be the problem in most all cases is a defective ( FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE). I took my truck to the dealer when it was under warranty & just a few a couple of months old for this exact problem. And, they told me there was nothing wrong? I now know the reason they told me this is because this fuel tank rollover valve is an integral part of the fuel tank & is expensive to change. With this extremely long history of failures with the (FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE), I am totally convinced this should be a Recall item!

Filed Feb 10, 2025FL

Afety Recall V06 / NHTSA 19V-021 Drag Link - January 25, 2019 This so called fix is abhorrent! It calls for welding an adjustable part of the steering linkage rendering it non- adjustable when having the front end aligned in the future. Not to mention the effect of welding, potentially causing a problem with the integrity of the metal. The correct fix for this SAFETY issue is to REPLACE this steering linkage component (which is an option). No do a weld job on the steering linkage of all things! I am appalled that NHTSA approved such a thing. PLEASE revisit this issue and do the right thing. Require Chrysler (FCA US LLC) to REPLACE this defective part with the proper part. Note.... Chrysler is not welding the nuts on the drag links on trucks coming off the assembly line! They are coming off with proper, safe, adjustable drag links!

I am filing this complaint due to a GREAT safety concern with my vehicle. I am a law enforcement officer as well as a firefighter. I was notified that there was a safety recall on my vehicle. The recall was for the hydraulic control unit ("HCU"). One of the risks of said recall is the loss of ABS/ESC/Traction control may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. After being notified about said recall, I notified several Ram Service locations in my area as well as the surrounding areas of where I reside. Each and every one of the service personnel or advisors I spoke with told me “there is not a remedy for the recall as of yet due to parts not being available.” When asked what I needed to do at that point, I was told to continue to drive my vehicle. Each dealership I spoke with stated they did not offer loaner vehicles, and did not know when parts would be available to fix said recall. That brings me to my complaint. On the morning of January 21, 2025 at approximately 05:47, I was driving my daughter to school then I was going to go to work there after. When I left my residence, I approached a stop sign to make a right turn. When I made the right turn, my front driver’s side wheel, locked up and pulled the vehicle hard to the left causing me to nearly strike a sheriff patrol officer and crash into a nearby residence.

The Anti-Brake system ABS and ESC Electronic Stability Control alert keeps coming on and off on my dashboard. The cruise control will shut off by itself when this alert comes on. The alerts appear randomly and all various speeds. I took this to the dealership in October of 2022 for this issue and they replaced the anti-lock brake controller and bled the brakes. I had to pay $1000 out of pocket cost as my truck was no longer under warranty. The same issue has started occurring again in June of 2024. I changed out the wheel speed sensors at that time thinking perhaps that was causing the issue since I got the repair done in 2022 and I noticed that the issue occurs frequently, especially when I hit a bump in the road. However the issue still occurs and I see that this has been a known issue by Ram for some time and a RECALL for the HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT is due to be mailed out January 9, 2025.

Hydraulic brake unit failure. yes part is still available for inspection as it is still n the vehicle. I was driving to work at 21:30 hours on 1/1/2025 on a snow covered road. I gently applied the brakes and my truck went into a spin. I was going 25 mph. the abs unit failed and there was no pulsating in the brake pedal and rear brakes locked up sending the truck into an uncontrollable spin. my front left driver side of the vehicle then struck the jersey barrier and vehicle did continue to spin and then struck passenger rear side of the vehicle on the jersey barrier. currently has $17k in damages to the vehicle. I was not injured at the time but currently experiencing lower back pain. there was no lights or warnings on dash until immediately after the collision. I had the ABS HBU replaced a few months back and was told the new unit was part of the old stock and would most likely fail. which it did. unfortunately i am one of the people in this world who could not afford to not drive my vehicle as the truck was $70k new and i still am currently driving it due to not being able to afford to replace it of park it and rent a vehicle. The HBU has been a known issue in these trucks for the passed year and they just issued a recall on 12/08/2024. this problem was first noticed on 05/08/2024. was taken to dealer shortly afterward and was told that these are known to fail and currently no remedy to the issue. as of 01/07/2025 there is still no remedy or time on when parts are available

Whilst driving, the ABS/traction control warning lights will randomly come on, then go off, and come on again. Sometimes they stay off, other times it is constant dingining as the lights appear and disappear, then re appear. when they are on the traction Control, and ABS do not work. I feel the truck is unsafe in incliment weather, or panic sitiuations that require emergency braking, or slick conditions where Traction and stabili track is important.

Reading these

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.
