Consumer Description
I have a 2018 RAM 3500 with ONLY 20,000 miles on it. ABS and HUC critical parts are faulty, and I have no way to even purchase one until a recal is issued. Class Action Says 2017-2018 Ram 2500, 3500 Equipped with Defective Anti-Lock Braking Systems. No current part that resolves this issue. Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups are unsafe because they’re equipped with defective hydraulic control units (HCUs) and anti-lock braking systems (ABS). RAM knows about it and has ALL the modules on engineering hold. These parts have not been available for almost a year. No antilock brakes. No traction control. No cruise control. 4X4 four wheel drive system is locked out and cant be engaged after this warning occurs. Here's what they are telling customers who have filed with them about this. Good Morning Mr xxxx, As of 06/26, No new update Part: 68228991AD Module Order: xxxx Per CLIMS: Part STOCK is under QUARANTINE pending quality / engineering review and inspection. Working to obtain timing on resolve to predict allocation and shipment to DLR to fulfill No firm ETA to provide at this time. Pending response from SPLR / PKG Working to improve xxxxx Case Management 844-378-0575 Ext:4063199 My dealer said, be lucky if they ever have parts for a permanent fix. I can’t haul anything or use cruse control. Error lights keep popping up sporadically with dinging sounds, driving me crazy. It is "Service Electronic Brake System" with continuous ABS and STC fault warnings. This truck is dangerous to drive, a recall is a NO BRAINER!!!! I am writing for three reasons. 1. You need to get our dealer the parts now so we may have a safe vehicle, or 2. replace this truck with a new one if you cant repair ours ASAP, and 3. To make sure I have this all documented in case of any serious accident where you will have to assume all liability and responsibility if this occurs due to your lack of ability to repair this safety system.
