Consumer Description

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF ABS/HCU RESULTING IN NO ABS, CRUISE CONTROL, OR TRACTION CONTROL. UNABLE TO FIND THE PART IN QUESTION, DEALERS WANTING NEARLY $2000 FOR REPAIR ON UNACCEPTABLE TIMELINE. UNABLE TO HAUL SIGNIFICANT LOADS WITH TRUCK (I.E. CAMPER OR EQUIPMENT/TRAILERS). DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AND NO RECALL WAS EVER ISSUED. HCU PARTS ARE NOW RESTRICTED AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE IF ONE DOES MANAGE TO FIND ONE. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS INITIATED AGAINST CHRYSLER IN CALIFORNIA. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS NOW AND SHOULD BE MADE KNOWN TO ANYONE THINKING OF BUYING A RAM. I LOVE THE TRUCK BUT IT IS UNSAFE AND INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO REPAIR AT THIS TIME CAUSING SIGNIFICANT HEADACHES FOR MY FAMILY.
