Consumer Description

While driving the light and warning signal for the ABS Brakes and Traction Control go on and off intermittently. Another indicator comes on that says the ABS brakes need servicing. This can happen at almost anytime. If on the highway with cruise control on and the lights come on the cruise drops out and the vehicle slows quickly, hopefully no one has run into the back of the truck, because it happened at 65 mph on Monday. I had the codes checked and it says the pump motor for the ABS is at fault, stored code DTC C0020-01. The ABS pump assembly had to be ordered on March 10, 2020 and was replaced under warranty once already on March 25, 2020, 16015 miles for the same thing, and the part had to be ordered. The vehicle now has 20360 miles on it and it is my understanding that the part is on backorder for quite some time. There must be a problem with the part or they would be in stock at least so it can be ordered. This is a safety concern of mine being the brakes may not work properly and when it shuts off at highway speed with the cruise on, there could be an accident due to the vehicle slowing fairly quick. I would like to be able to drive the truck safely. This truck is unsafe to drive now and it is not covered by warranty. Needs to be a recall, manufacturer needs to look into this situation and fix it.
