Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The truck had a recall done on its steering system. The steering part affected is the drag link. The drag link connects to the steering wheel to the tie rod . The recall fix was to weld the drag link jam nuts so they wouldn't come loose and cause a steering loss. Since the recall the vehicle s drag link can't be aligned correctly with the tie rod the drag link is attached to the steering wheel so when the truck is aligned it backs one side out to far to keep the steering wheel straight. This drag link that was recalled is a (safety issue) it's a bad design and causes the vehicle to sway all over the road and if it fails the truck looses all steering and goes where ever it wants to go Wich will cause a horrible accident and harm innocent family's on the highway including my own family it can lead to the death of people in my vehicle and around my vehicle it's a serious safety issue and a horrible recall fix on rams end. I have a appointment at the ram dealership to get new tires on but I don't want the new tires put on until this issue is fixed as the truck needs alignment and this safety issue aka the welded drag link replaced with the correct fix that the new rams have the new style drag link . It's a safety hazard. And innocent people can get hurt by the horrible recall fix. It's in acceptable. And very unsafe it's hard to keep the truck in a straight line on the roads it's all over the place like a drunk driver .

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Third time the ABS module has been replaced in 29,000 miles. Took months for our dealer to acquire the part. Second one with the "AB" suffix. Truck only used for livestock towing hence the low mileage. When the ABS-STC go out the warning indicators come on along with a "Service Electronic Braking" system message. When this occurs, not only are the two mandated important safety systems inoperative, four wheel drive wont engage. I don't use cruise control but hundreds of reports state it also is inoperative. Why is Stellantis and NHTSA dragging their feet on getting this issue resolved and recalled once and for all. Not having Anti Lock Brakes and Stability Control are dangerous. I don't get it.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Abs and traction control lights come on, simultaneously canceling cruise control. Vehicle speed immediately slows, and traffic behind me catches up quickly as it takes a few seconds to react and get the vehicle back up to speed. Also, no abs in wet condition, etc. Bumps in the road cause the system to go out and come back on. It's become such a problem that I've had to pull the fuse for abs, which means no more cruise control. But also activates the red brake warning light. So if another problem comes up, I won't know as the brake light is already on.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Beginning in 2018, the ABS system will stop working intermittently and a number of trouble lights will come on, such as "Service ABS system" and, at the same time the cruise control and 4 wheel drive will stop working. I took it to a dealer while still under warranty and they claimed the ABS system was fine, and they could find no problem with the ABS, which had to be a lie since a code would certainly have shown up. I will go months without a problem then it will start intermittently going out for weeks at a time. This happened once in a snow storm near Denver, CO and I nearly went into the ditch because the 4wd suddenly stopped working. My research shows this is a common and serious problem with the 2017 and 2018 Rams and the manufacturer is well aware of the defective HCU that causes this safety issue. It needs to be repaired in a recall. An OBT scan shows that the ABS control unit intermittently suffers a "complete electrical failure" in the hydraulic control unit of the ABS.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH and coming to a stop, the brake pedal felt abnormally loose, causing the braking distance to be extended. The ABS and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the ABS control sensor and ABS control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that several weeks later the message "Trailer Brake Connected - Go to Vehicle Settings - Check Vehicle Wiring" was temporarily displayed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 26,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Heading down a mountain grade on [XXX] came around a turn on the down grade and all the sudden warning lights starting going off. Tried braking harder but almost no brakes on the pickup. Managed to press the emergency brake, thankfully we were going at a slow enough speed. So many messages on the dash that I was having trouble getting to the trailer brakes to increase the gain so I could use them to help us get stopped. How was my safety and my Wife's at risk, brake failure on a mountain grade could have been bad. Taking it to a Ram Dealer on Tuesday, June 25,2024 in Hanover, PA. I was told by a mechanic that he scanned the system and pulled Code C0020. Was also told probably Hydraulic Control Unit or ABS Control Unit failure which is a common problem. At the time of the incident here are the warning lights and messages : Service Electronic Braking System, service abs, service trailer brakes. service rear park sensors, traction control disabled & trailer brakes disconnected ( had to unplug and replug to get back).

The abs control module and pump has been going out for the last 4 years with intermittent alarm every 30-44seconds. Every time I call dodge dealer the part is on back order for 4 years now I finally found a remanufactured one on eBay. This is a serious problem, very unsafe and I have talked to a lot of people with dodge ram trucks 2017-2018 that have the same issues and a couple people that have had bad accidents they believe is because now no traction control. Dodge needs to be held accountable for the parts they put in the truck and for not having a replacement ready to go.
