NHTSA Complaint #11502521 — 2018 RAM 2500

- I have a repeated low mileage failure of the antilock brake system hydraulic control unit. The faulty unit is still installed on the vehicle. - The ABS hydraulic unit failure intermittently renders the ABS system, traction control system, and electronic stability system inoperable for varying durations. This is the 2nd failure of this system on the vehicle. The first failure occurred during normal highway driving. The 2nd failure occurred while traveling in the mountains in the snow. Had I not been experienced driving a non-abs vehicle in inclement weather we could have crashed. - The issue was diagnosed and confirmed by a local Ram dealership service department. It was escalated to Ram customer care due to lack of parts availability and high cost of repair. Ram escalated part delivery and denied financial assistance. The vehicle is out of warranty for this particular part. - There are various intermittent warnings present. The fault condition will rapidly annunciate and then clear many times in a short time period, or stay active for long periods, or not occur at all. The fault condition appears to be completely unpredictable but is repeatable.
