ABS & Traction Light and ding ding, then go away for a while then it all comes back. Truck is out of warranty, so any cost is mine. They want you to pay for diagnostic even there is a code. Quoted cost was around $800 to $1000. The first time this happened the code said to replace the 4wd shift motor. Done that problem went away for awhile then came back. I am retired and these cost don't fit in real good. We purchased the truck new. I have read that this problem is not new, just ongoing. When this is happening the 4wd and cruse doesn't work or shuts off. It appears that RAM isn't going to do anything until people start getting killed. Then are forced to fix it.

Started getting an alarm for abs and traction control alarm with 15000 miles, it would come and go every few thousand miles. Truck now has 44000 miles and the alarm has appeared twice in the past 4000 miles. This almost caused an accident as it disables the abs at any given time. The dealer says it is the Hydraulic Control Unit.

I had to have my ABS module replaced because ABS fault on my dash lit up. A few months later the ABS fault light is back on. The parts they put on is junk. I cant keep paying the ridiculous price of this repair when it doesn't fix the issue. Reading thru the forums it has been a issue for many many years. I cant use my cruse control when this alarm goes off and I would like for my ABS to work the way it was intended for.

My 2018 Ram 35000 with only 33,000 miles has recently been providing numerous ABS and Electronic Braking System warning lights. They are intermittently and can sound several times continually or they can go for several miles with no alarms. It appears that this is a well known issue with Ram trucks that I believe the manufacture should repair as it is a safety concern.

I was driving my truck when the Service Electronic Braking System warning came on. Then the service the Anti-lock Brake System warning came on. Both warnings were flashing on and off. I took the truck into my mechanic which is an independent service center, American Muffler, in Burlington WI, on 10/23/24. I was told that the truck needed an ABS module and the Hydraulic Control Unit, but the mechanic was having problems getting the ABS module from the dealer, Miller Motors, in Burlington. I was told that Miller Motors needed authorization to sell the part, and it was pending. American Motors continued to call Miller Motors for updates and was told it was still pending. I finally picked up my truck on 11/04/24, without it being fixed. I drove the truck to my hunting land (about 120 miles), on [XXX]. The warnings continued to flash on and off periodically, on the trip. I stopped at Petersen Dodge, in Waupaca WI, to see if I could buy the ABS module there. Petersen Dodge didn't have one in stock but located one at a dealer in Janesville WI. I put money down at Petersen Dodge for the part and the part was going to be shipped to Petersen Dodge, where I was to pick it up. I was called the next morning and told by Petersen Dodge that the Janesville dealer cancelled the order. On 11/09/24, I tried to find the ABS module at Mopar.com National estore. They routed me to the Janesville dealer where it showed one in stock. I purchased that one online. On 11/11/24, I received an email from Mopar.com asking me for my VIN. I responded with the VIN. On 11/12/24, I received an email and phone call from Mopar.com stating that they were cancelling the order. On 11/15/24, I drove back home. The ABS indicator light and the Traction Control light were on the whole trip. I'm not sure if the truck is safe to drive this way, but I can't find anyone to sell the ABS module. I attached receipts and emails of me trying to buy the ABS module. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
