SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
What component or system failed or malfunctioned? Intermittent failure of the electronic braking system. Audible Warning tone and indication ‘Service Electronic Braking System’ followed by ‘Service Antilock Braking System’ experienced intermittently. The multiple warnings automatically disabled the antilock brakes, stability control, and cruise control as well as producing annoying audible tone. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I pull a Travel trailer loaded with our life's possessions and obviously my immediate family is with me. I cant trust or rely on my breaking system to stop my vehicle and trailer, Its a complete hazard to drive the vehicle on the road. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I dropped my truck off today for a diagnostic to check the ABS issue and the dealer wants to charge me $199.00 + tax to verify this WELL KNOWN issue. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not at this time 3/20/23 Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no prior warning to the ABS failure, it simply started "dinging" and throwing the ABS failure warning on the IDC.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
UNKNOWN - The ABS brake system warning light blinks on and off repeatedly. Then the warning will not occur for several days, but then starts blinking again. When this happens, the cruise control is abruptly disengaged. The code for this event is C0020-01(1/1)Active ABS Pump Motor Control-General Electrical Failure. I captured this with my own code reader as the event was occurring. When this event is occurring, the code clears itself after the warning light goes off and is not retained in the system for the dealer to see. The problem is chronic. It is the same problem that involved the NHTSA for the 2019-2022 Ram 2500/3500 trucks. I have also read that there had been a class lawsuit. I simply want Ram to repair and correct this issue

Potential Consequences:
my vehicle (Ram 3500 w/ a 6.7 liter diesel engine) has less than 38,000 miles and the ABS Hydraulic Control Module has to be replaced. I’ve been told the part is on back order and cost to replace the unit is over $500 with another $400 plus to install this part. The dealership stated they could not place more orders until late March and since I’ve been researching and found out that this is a larger issue that has been identified to Ram with a class action lawsuit for certain years and I think that this issue should be handled at no cost to the consumer.
