Steering, Service brakes, Mar 5, 2026
I currently have a failed ABS module on my truck. The warning lights have come on for brakes, ABS and traction control. I attempted to go to my local dealer but was told the part to replace has been backordered for over 2 years. I am unable to locate a new part, or a company that will rebuild the ABS module. I've had this condition for ~ 9 months. Additionally, just recently within the last 3 weeks I've been experiencing intermittent loss of power steering while driving. This issue has typically been lasting 1-2 seconds, which can be very problematic especially while in a turn. When the steering goes out, there is a quick flash of a warning to service power steering on the dash, then the warning goes away.

ABS Module … same as 100’s of other Dodge Ram 1500 Trucks! My 2014 is sitting the dealership rotten because there is no part available anymore or anywhere! Have a warranty which is useless and no help from Dodge or dealerships anywhere it’s so sad and pathetic that a USA made Truck isn’t worth anything but scrap! Why are they aloud to get away with not fixing issues with Ram Trucks! No Recall no actions taking and people just sitting on there hands waiting for any glimpse of hope to fix there trucks! Shame on Dodge and will never buy a Dodge, Jeep or Chrysler vehicle. Your service departments your representatives all throw up their hands and say oh it’s Dodge. You should just get rid of it. …. that’s really sad.

ABS module internal electrical failure. Causes traction control, antilock brakes, and trailer brakes to fail. Brakes could lose power and cause a collision. Parts are unavailable new. No remedy available from manufacturer.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Jan 24, 2026
As many other dodge ram owners are also experiencing anti lock brake control module internal electronic failure. Abs, traction control, and brake warning lights are all on on the dash so abs and traction control are disabled the 4 wheel drive won't function due to this either. Abs has fault code c2200-49 diagnosed at a local facility with fix finder diagnostic and doesn't seem to be any available control module replacements to even repair it. This truck is useless on the icy road at this time and dangerous for everyone's safety on the road under normal driving conditions without all of these safety features working as they should. There should be parts available at least if not a recall or maybe even customer pays for the part and dealership programs new part for free! The anti lock brake control modules are faulty on way to many generations of dodge ram vehicles for dodge not to recall all faulty abs control modules on all year models, please help with this issue THANKS in advance

The ABS module (anti-lock brake module) has stopped working. My abs light, parking brake light, and traction control light stay on all the time and my anti-lock brakes are not working. This is SO common with 3rd generation Ram 1500’s (2013-2018) and I don’t understand why the abs module has not been recalled yet? The cost to replace the abs module is extremely expensive and if it a poorly designed part that will fail, Mopar should recall the part and replace it.
Service brakes, Nov 9, 2025
The ABS Module, part 68228991AD in the 2014 Ram 1500 has failed on my truck and in a large number of vehicles i have found on Ram Truck forums. The failure of this part is impacting multiple systems in my truck and and has made those systems inoperable including ABS, stability control, trailer brake control, cruise control, and potentially others. I don't understand why a recall for this problem has not been issued. To add, the parts have been completely unavailable from Mopar or any supplier. I've had this problem since June 2025 and no part availability anywhere and my son has been driving the vehicle because we have no other choice but to drive this vehicle. Please advise soonest about what can be done to help remedy this situation, I am very concerned about the safety of those driving this vehicle with this problem. Thank you

The brake, traction control and ABS warning lights came on in the dashboard. I went to local auto parts store and they scanned the vehicle and I got a C2200-0049 DTC. This apparently means I there is an internal failure in the ABS Module. I went to my local dealer and they told me the ABS Module is backordered and it will be at least 45 days before I would be able to get the repair. I've looked online and have discovered there appears to be a severe shortage of availability of the part and has been for several years. I don't understand how such a critical component of a vehicle is unavailable. To my research, the required part number is 68228991-AD.

My 2014 Ram 1500 ABS light, traction control, and brake light popped up and if I drive it for a short bit and stop and shut it off and crank it up the light don’t come back on. It has been doing this all the time through the winter and now says on all the time. All so the back up camera doesn’t power up when you first start vehicle for about two minutes on the radio display. The camera not coming on creates a big safety issue when backing up. We have small grandchildren and this makes it a big safety concern.

After rigorous research, it appears that my anti-lock braking system module has failed. A trusted family member that has worked on a plethora of vehicles during their career has performed an inspection and agrees. With the ABS module failing, this can be a significant safety issue for myself and others who own the same vehicle in both collision prevention and defensive driving maneuvers when necessary. I have called Ram dealerships specifically to inquire if the part is available, and it is not available but is in high demand (even dealerships are having difficulty with acquiring the part). After a significant amount of research, it is blatantly obvious that I am not the only one who can't find this needed part. This is my only vehicle for transportation. I have ordered the part with a third-party auto part vendor ($915.00) and have received an email from them advising me that the part I ordered and need is out of stock, and my spot in line is reserved for when the part becomes available. After even more research, I have learned that the manufacturer for Ram parts no longer manufactures this particular part. There currently are warning lights on (ABS, traction control, and the brake indicator) they have remained on since diagnosing this issue and have not gone away. With that being said, this can have a significant impact on immediate braking if necessary, and can lead to other problems such as stability control, transmission issues, uneven braking, parking brake failure, and ultimately total brake failure while in motion. This is not just an issue for me, but apparently for a significant amount of 2013-2015 Ram owners as well. I am on a budget; there is zero supply and high demand. Ram owners are hemorrhaging money regarding repairs to this necessary component for safe vehicle functionality. With this being my mode of transportation, I'm having to be even more aware of extra safety precautions which adds a significant amount of unnecessary stress as a driver.

I have been told the part is on back order and has been for quite some time. The dealer has called other dealers to locate the part, and all are in the same situation, cannot locate that part. This is a safety issue to do with the braking of the vehicle and if continued driving with a faulty ABS Module, could lead to brakes locking up or vehicle not stopping when needed. How can this part be on back order so long and people having to take risks and drive their vehicles with the issue as they may not having anything else to drive. My vehicle has been at the dealer since July 10th, 2025 awaiting this part. They tell me they do not have a date as to when it can be expected to arrive or if it will arrive. They gave recommended to me not to drive the vehicle in this situation as I could be in accident when the brakes are needed. This needs to be addressed and this part should be recalled as I have done my own investigation online and there are lots of people with this same problem and unable to get the part. Some people have become desperate and purchased refurbished or used ABS modules for this same vehicle and paid a significant amount for it just to have it fail just shortly after installation. Driving with a faulty ABS module can be risky as it disables the ant-locking system, potentially leading to wheel lockup and reduced steering control during braking, especially in slippery conditions. This needs to be addressed by your organization as the safety of human beings and their families are at risk of accidents with potential deaths.

ABS control module failed. I lost traction control while driving and spun out on the road. After that I found that not only does this failure affect traction control but ABS and cruise control.

The ABS control module failed on my 2014 Ram 1500 and is no longer available from Mopar. The part (68228991AD) is discontinued or on indefinite backorder. This disables a federally required safety system (ABS and electronic stability control). Dealerships will not install used parts, and there is no OEM solution. This renders the vehicle unsafe to operate and poses a risk to me and others on the road. Dodge/Stellantis needs to provide a solution or replacement. I’m requesting NHTSA investigation and recall if necessary.
