Consumer Description
Vehicle began experiencing electrical issues upon ABS/HCU unit failure. While initially intermittent, which allowed continued usage of the vehicle, additional components such as cruise control, trailer braking, etc., began to malfunction. Warning lights would toggle on and off, and truck began to have no-start problems with C0020 ABS codes and UO140 codes being thrown. Truck went to two Ram dealerships for inspection and neither could replicate any issues, but they were able to see the warning lights and code history. After being advised to first replace TIPM, battery, and starter, my truck has now completely died in my driveway. When I attempt to start, the check engine light comes on (in addition to ABS, trailer brake, traction control, etc.) and flashes between 3-10 times. I've now been told by dealer that the problem is actually in the ABS module and HCU, which due to the known issues with these parts may have caused damage to all of these other components, leading to the fault in the canbus system. This has been ongoing for nearly two years, which is ridiculous for the money spent on this vehicle. I've been advised by other Ram truck owners dealing with this type of situation to file a report in efforts to aid the ongoing investigation. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any further help, or alternatively if there is a resolution to this matter. Thank you and kind regards.
