Ram trucks have a known problem with the ABS module. When this system fails the truck loses it traction control. It has been known for years, but Ram truck continually states it's under engineering review. Per the dealer in Jacksonville, FL., there is no solution and no parts to fix this issue. My truck only has 61,000 miles and I've lost my ABS, traction control, cruise control, and 4-wheel drive.

The Antilock Brake Module (part # 68228991AD) and Antilock Brake Hydraulic Pump (part # 68196033AA) have failed for no apparent reason. The dealer states there's a national backorder for the module with no delivery date noted. The module controls the anti lock braking system, traction control, and cruise control, which are all safety concerns. The module cannot work without the associated pump. This problem has been confirmed by two dealerships and an independent service center. There were no warnings prior to the failure, which occurred on 10/18/25. The cost of the pump is $1290 from the dealership, which is outrageous. There are remanufactured modules and pumps out there, but they are outrageously priced. I'm thinking about going the remanufactured route to address the safety concerns this causses though.

In writing complaint against FCA for not fairness for some VINs with Ecodiesel doesn’t include W68. Following with recall W58 vs W68, my VIN was picked for W58, but never pick for W68 because my VIN is not included. Just complete service for crankshaft throttle failure and spent $2000 for this. I am very disappointed that crankshaft failure recalled do not cover because W68 was not included. I think those W58 for computer update failed to prevent break down due to loose magnetic issue. My VIN is suppose to add recall for W68 because FCA missed this. W58 failed to cover the damages with crankshaft which is mean computer doesn’t solve the problem.

The ABS went out on my truck 3 years ago and Ram/Mopar quit making the part. I am stuck with a $50,000 rock because their part has first been on back order and now no longer manufactured. My truck was 7 years old when this started. I cannot afford to go buy a new truck! I could find a used one and maybe get it flashed but people are charging $800 for a used part and no guarantee that it can be flashed to work in my truck, because Ram decided to make everything proprietary. I really don’t trust the rebuilt ones from China. This is a really bad situation and really should be illegal. I have read online many people that are having the same issue as myself.

The Starter of the truck seems to have "shorted" and started an electrical fire that burnt the wiring harness leading up to the battery including part of the battery cover. Drove truck on 100 mile trip. Arrived, parked. 2 days later went out to truck to drive home. Turned key, check engine light came on. Service electronic throttle control light came on. Opened hood, smelled burned smell. discovered battery cover and harnessed burned. Disconnected and removed battery. Had truck towed 100miles home. Went to mechanic who traced the burn down to the starter. He replaced the starter and showed me where the fire started. FYI I called the service manager at Berthod Ram in Glenwood Springs Colorado to ask if they would like to see the Starter, left message. THEY DID NOT REPLY.

Internal Failure with the (ABS) System Module / (EBCM) Electric Brake Control Module.
Service brakes, Oct 16, 2025
I am filing this complaint regarding a serious and ongoing safety defect in my 2015 Ram 1500 involving the failure of the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) module (Part No. 68228991AD). This failure completely disables the ABS, significantly reducing the vehicle’s braking performance and increasing the risk of loss of control or collision during emergency braking situations. This is a well-documented and widespread issue among Ram 1500 owners. Chrysler has discontinued the manufacture and supply of the affected ABS module, leaving owners without a viable means to restore this critical safety system. I have been placed on a waiting list for over two years for a replacement part, yet I have been informed repeatedly that there is no assurance one will ever become available. The dealership has even advised me to “buy a new truck” if I wish to have properly functioning anti-lock brakes. This situation is not only unreasonable—it is dangerous. The lack of a functioning ABS system places my family, my passengers, and others on the road at significant risk. The inability to obtain a replacement for a vital safety component effectively renders the vehicle unsafe for operation. I am aware that Ram recently issued a recall affecting approximately 1.5 million trucks for the same ABS defect. However, my model year has been excluded, despite exhibiting the identical failure. This selective recall leaves hundreds of affected consumers without recourse or protection. I respectfully request that Chrysler and the relevant regulatory authorities investigate this matter, extend the existing recall to include the 2015 Ram 1500, and compel the manufacturer to resume production and distribution of the necessary replacement parts to remedy this critical safety defect.

The Safety Recall indicates RAM 1500 trucks manufactured from Jan. 22, 2015 to Sept. 13, 2015. This truck is within manufactured recall dates so why isn't it flagged?

My 2015 Chrysler Ram EcoDiesel 4x4 has a major safety defect that nearly caused a catastrophic accident and has left me traumatized. The vehicle is currently inoperable, sitting in my driveway with a dead battery and what sounds like a thrown rod after breaking down for the second time on the highway. While driving on Highway 101 in California, towing a horse trailer with live horses, the truck suddenly lost power without warning. I was left struggling to control the vehicle and avoid a crash in high-speed traffic. This was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Losing engine power with a loaded trailer on a busy highway could easily have resulted in fatalities — not just for me and my animals, but for other drivers on the road. I was horrified and shaken, and I continue to suffer PTSD from the event. This is the second time the vehicle has broken down under dangerous circumstances. The failure was life-threatening, and it is obvious to me that the engine has now suffered catastrophic internal damage (likely a thrown rod). Recall Issues: I had already received a notice of Recall 22V-406, but when I contacted Chrysler, I was told the parts were not available and they would not buy back my truck. The repair was not released yet, leaving me to continue driving a vehicle I already knew had a serious defect. This delay put me, my animals, and the public at unacceptable risk.

I was resuming speed after a toll, my 2015 Ram Eco Diesel 1500 lost all momentum, threw an alarm to service the Electronic Throttle with a red lightning bolt framed by two red lines, and I limped to the shoulder with several semi close on my tail. After researching I shut off for a minute, removed key, opened door, then restarted. The engine struggled and revved several times before starting. The dealership confirmed the Tone Wheel is cracked in several places and is failing of not fault of mine. She is still there with the parts on order. This is related to already completed recall W58, although should be addressed by W68. I should not be penalized for taking good care of my truck. Thank you for your help getting my vehicle and several related NHTSA complaints addressed under recall W68. *Please see related NHTSA IDs: 11671188, 11655078, 11645531, 11644270, 11619387, 11614931, 11613109, 11593300... so many more. Please have an algorithm review the complaints for similarities to allow for safer highways and driving. Thank you and enjoy your week!

I am experiencing ABS issues on my truck. After visiting a local auto parts store to get an OBD scan, the code says it’s a bad ABS module. I called the dealership to share this information and they confirmed the code from the auto parts store is a bad ABS module. They said “oh no, you got that code huh? You’re not the only one.” The reason for my visit was because three lights were illuminated on my dash. The ABS light, the traction control light, and the BRAKE (trailer brake) light. The messages on the dash display say to service the ABS system, service the electronic braking system, and service the trailer brake system. From my research, I have discovered that many people are experiencing this same issue on similar vehicles . So much in fact that the parts for repair are unavailable at the dealership and online warehouses. The cruise control is disabled while experiencing this issue and braking performance is affected while driving. I’m afraid that my brakes will lock up on me in a hard stop event and lead to an incident.
