Consumer Description
Whenever it rains or is high humidity, my dashboard lights up and repeatedly chimes with ABS lights and Electronic Braking System error. The error repeats itself on and off again every few seconds. It is a dangerous distraction of error messages. Since it is raining, all traction control and ABS systems deactivate themselves with this error. I spun out this morning due to the error. It is absolutely dangerous. This is the EXACT error that occurred on my previous Ram. This is a dangerous faulty hydraulic control unit (and ABS system). Upon a little research, I found tens of thousands of posts of owners being stranded or driving without ABS / traction control due to this malfunction. This is deadly and needs to be recalled. RAM is aware of this issue but has not issued a recall. It is raining today, and my RAM will not have traction control or ABS. This is unacceptable. This is affecting tens of thousands of owners. With upwards of $1,600 for a repair. Yet, the part can create a fault AGAIN within weeks or months. DANGEROUS.
