Consumer Description

The ABS module failed on my truck and was replaced using an OEM part. The newly installed module worked for a few months, but failed. Upon failure the speed control failed, the ABS light came on and the truck was stuck in the middle of the street where I tried to restart the vehicle. The truck wouldn't shift into drive or neutral to be moved. The truck was unable to be moved and it took multiple restarts to get it able to be driven again. I have tried to get a new part for repair from Dodge (Ram) and they informed me the part is not being sold due to an engineering review being completed by the company that was going through March of 2024. The truck is far too dangerous and unpredictable to drive in this state and there is no way to repair the issue. What recourse is there to have an operational vehicle for use? This alone tells me Dodge knows there is a problem and they are unwilling to do anything about it in the immediate future. This repair is $1,000 to $2,000 every time it is completed.
