The abs module has failed on the 2016 Ram 1500. It has illuminated the brake light, abs light, and traction light on my dash permanently. It is disabling abs, cruise control, and now I will not know if any other problems arise in my brake system because the lights stay on permanently. I have been unable to purchase a replacement part because it has been unavailable for over 6 months to purchase. I continuously get told a new part is under engineer review but they just keep extending the date every other month. In the mean time I have no way to repair my vehicle. Absolutely unsafe and unacceptable for a major system (brakes).

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The ABS Control Module has faulted and no longer allows for the ABS System, Traction Control System or Cruise Control System to operate properly and also leaves the BRAKE light illuminated (which should indicate the parking brake is engaged). This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and there is no timeline associated with a replacement part. This allows for the vehicle to be operated without the required ABS system functioning and no feasible timeline to make repairs to this system. The dealer has ran diagnostics to confirm ABS Control Module failure. This problem has caused a dashboard warning light and was brought to a Ram dealership promptly for diagnostics/repair. MOPAR and RamTrucks has been contacted multiple times without a follow up from the company.

Corrective Action:

The ABS Control Module has faulted and no longer allows for the ABS System, Traction Control System or Cruise Control System to operate properly and also leaves the BRAKE light illuminated (which should indicate the parking brake is engaged). This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and there is no timeline associated with a replacement part. This allows for the vehicle to be operated without the required ABS system functioning and no feasible timeline to make repairs to this system. The dealer has ran diagnostics to confirm ABS Control Module failure. This problem has caused a dashboard warning light and was brought to a Ram dealership promptly for diagnostics/repair. MOPAR and RamTrucks has been contacted multiple times without a follow up from the company.

Defect Description:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I was driving the truck and went to make a turn and suddenly the power steering went. It was very difficult to drive and was a definite hazard to myself and others. I took the truck to the dealer where they in turn said there was not a problem with the power steering. I have included the document given to me by the dealership. Upon my own investigation the power steering has defaulted many other drivers as well. This should be a recall. I then disconnected the battery and reconnected it two days later and the power steering returned. Withing the next few days the power steering went again. This is an electrical power steering and needs to be investigated asap. Yor help in greatly appreciated.
