Consumer Description
Heading down a mountain grade on [XXX] came around a turn on the down grade and all the sudden warning lights starting going off. Tried braking harder but almost no brakes on the pickup. Managed to press the emergency brake, thankfully we were going at a slow enough speed. So many messages on the dash that I was having trouble getting to the trailer brakes to increase the gain so I could use them to help us get stopped. How was my safety and my Wife's at risk, brake failure on a mountain grade could have been bad. Taking it to a Ram Dealer on Tuesday, June 25,2024 in Hanover, PA. I was told by a mechanic that he scanned the system and pulled Code C0020. Was also told probably Hydraulic Control Unit or ABS Control Unit failure which is a common problem. At the time of the incident here are the warning lights and messages : Service Electronic Braking System, service abs, service trailer brakes. service rear park sensors, traction control disabled & trailer brakes disconnected ( had to unplug and replug to get back). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
