ABC Control Module - The warning lights that are on in the Dashboard are the ABS Light, Traction Control Light and the Brake Light. When these lights came on, I took it to the Ram Dealership, and they told me that it was the ABS Control Module that was bad and needed replaced. The lights stay on all of the time, so I do not have any ABS Braking, Tractor Control or Cruise Control. Not having the ABS Braking or the Cruise Control make it very dangerous to stop or control the Truck with bad road conditions. The Dealership told me that the part that is needed is on an Enginering Hold and that they cannot order the part. The Truck was taken into the Dealership in October of 2024. They are not giving me any solutions to the problem, and I am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle until Ram takes the parts off of Enginering Hold. I am not getting any help from Ram on this issue, and they do not seem to care about my Safety. The Dealership that my truck was at is Shively Motors in Shippensburg PA

I lost power steering and hard to steer. I looked at fuses and f78 looked to be good. I made an appointment with Dodge dealer and when I was going to bring it steering worked. Now I need to wait to see if this issue happens again and this is dangerous while driving. There should be a recall on Module that causes this. I’ve read where this is common. We shouldn’t have to drive a vehicle with a known problem as you all are investigating this issue. Thank you!

My truck has been diagnosed with a faulty ABS control module over a year ago. I have made countless efforts to remedy this to no avail. The demand is so high for these and the supply is zero. The vehicle will go into limp mode every time i drive it. This poses a serious threat to my safety by not being able to get up to speed on the highway and constantly having to pull over.

My problem is with my Ram ABS/Traction control, cruise control doesn’t work, 4 wheel drive will not engage. Having only rear wheel drive makes it hard and dangerous to drive on snow covered roads. Almost hit a semi head on because my traction control and 4 wheel drive doesn’t work. I’ve been waiting almost 2 years for a new ABS controller. Chrysler has put the part I need on back order like 5 times in the last two years and winter is coming and it’s not safe to drive my truck on snow covered roads. I don’t know what to do.

Electronic braking system, traction control system and cruise control are non-operational. This problem affects all vehicles travelling on the road with me. The problem has been confirmed and diagnosed by a dealer. Warning lights on the dashboard are constant, along with "service electronic braking system" on engine start-up. This fault started in November, 2023. The dealership is unable to procure a replacement ABS module. Why is this not a recall issue? This fault prevents the vehicle from passing inspection.
Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Mar 29, 2024
Been inspected by the dealer. ABS modules as with many other owners cannot be replaced due to a lack of inventory on a vehicle less than 10 years old. Abs and traction control lights stay on as well as having the brakes locking up during wet conditions. It’s completely unsafe and too widespread for the company not to have a solution. Much less at the owners dime due to a flawed design.

Loss control while going down the highway, as the traction control is not working, I loss control when the road had a slight hill and curve. It has been a little under a year since my ABS module/control as gone bad. This causes the loss of traction control, ABS braking and other issues. This is a safety concern as the traction control is needed and brakes lock up without the ABS. This is a well-known issue with 2012-2017 Ram's. The main issue is the part is not available to correct the issue which makes this an even more serious safety issue.
Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Feb 4, 2024
Vehicle ABS system, brake, and towing problem warning lights are on as well as loss of cruise control. I started noticing my cruise control not functioning properly about a month or two prior to total failure. The local RAM dealer in Live Oak, FL. verified problem and admitted this has been an ongoing issue. Replacement parts are not available with a tentative availability date in March. In my research I have found these estimates of part availability to be hopeful guesses. In the meantime I am not able to tow my travel trailer or utility trailer due to this unsafe condition. My vehicle has approximately 82,000 miles on it and for this to be happening to so many of these similar vehicles is unacceptable and Chrysler be held liable for this issue. I cannot safely take my family on vacation with our travel trailer without having use of the trailer braking system. I cannot sell the vehicle like this nor can I afford to buy another vehicle to replace this RAM 1500. Thank you.

Same issue as NHTSA is investigating on RAM 2500 is occuring on RAM1500 frequently. ABS computer failure. Warning lights on for ABS, ESC and parking brake. My RAM dealer found defective ABS computer and told me its on back order. My issue popped up in August and apparantly back order is until at least/earliest March of 2024. This is based on multiple comments found on internet from others with same issue. If comments are true, backorder is not for procuring parts but for engineering to advise a solution. Clearly RAM is aware of the issue yet has not issued a recall or offered any solution. According to nhtsa own site there are multiple reports of this type failure on RAM 1500s. Also here is another link to a site where people list there complaints with many related to same symptoms: [XXX] While this has not caused an accident or issue, No one can answer how safe is it driving a vehicle with these lights on and confirmed computer issue -by dealer. Should everyone with this issue just not drive vehicle for months on end? Apparantly that is what RAM is hoping for or crossing fingers and hoping crashes/liabilities are minimal? Please step in and drive RAM to issue a recall and push them to expediate a fix. Thanks. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The ABS and traction control lights come on and off intermittently. When on the cruise control also doesn't work. No traction control or Automatic braking control. Seems to be a common problem with RAM 4x4 trucks.

The ABS light, break light and traction. Control due to either a faulty abs modul or tip computer. Dealers unable to replace until MAY 2024. Concern is the abs breaking and traction control for safe driving. From what I have read this is a common problem that needs to been corrected.
