Consumer Description

Sir/Ma'am, My Ram 2016 Ram1500 has been at the local Chrysler Dealer for approximately three months. The ABS and HCU needs to be replaced, however the dealer is unable to order the parts due to an ongoing engineer review which renews every 29 days. This is the same issue affecting the 2019-2024 models which have now been recalled following an NHTSA investigation which found that -- due to a software malfunction, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module may disable the electronic stability control system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems." I request the NHTSA also initiate an investigation into the 2016 Ram 1500 in order to expedite the recall of this model as well. Thank you.
