2014 RAM 1500 Forward Collision Avoidance Adaptive Cruise Control Problems

Driving on the interstate without cruise control on at 70 mph. I had a vehicle passing in the fast lane and a vehicle in front of me slowing down so I applied a little pressure to my brake peddle and my truck automatically began to accelerate on its own. I kept pushing on the brake peddle and it was stuck in a acceleration. The brakes tried slowing it down but it would not stop acceleration once I took my foot of the brake peddle it just rapidly began to pick up speed on its own again! I ended up pushing down on the break peddle long enough to turn off the engine and coast off to the side on the interstate. I was so glad it happened while I was driving it and not my wife she could of wrecked into the back of the vehicle in front of us...

The truck is a 2014 Ram with 74,000 miles garage kept and I have intermittent ABS service warning light researched and the ABS module has gone bad.

Beginning around March 2024: 1) The ABS, Towing, and E-brake dashboard lights stay on; and the Cruise Control stopped working. 2) The brakes and/or transmission locked up when I put the truck in Reverse. It made a noise like it was trying to respond but sort of dropped and locked up and would not move. This has happed a few times intermittently so mechanics have not been able to reproduce the problem. 3) The brakes grabbed to the left, brakes went soft, then I had to push harder. This has happened a few times. 4) My truck is large and heavy so it could really do some damage to other cars and endanger lives. I don’t drive it much for this reason causing me a lot of inconvenience. 5) The dealership and 2 local car repair shops scanned the problem. A lot of codes popped up - including the ABS...

In January 2023, my 2014 Ram 1500 sport truck got an anti-lock , braking system and Brake light flashing warning ABS lights. I went to the dealer and he said my ABS electronic module was bad and that it was problem with most Ram trucks. I asked when could I get a new module and he said June of 2024. So I went in June and no module. So here I am, driving an unsafe vehicle, and waiting for a part which may never come in. Thanks for listening because this is really a safety issue

Brake System ABS lights came on and stayed on and loss cruise control. Took to local dealer in March and as of June we are still waiting on part for repair. Unable to use truck other than local errands as we are concerned for safety of our employees on long distance deliveries due to no ABS braking and no cruise control

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...

* ABS Module and Hydraulic control unit (HCU), it was not available upon request, I had to wait two years for the parts. * No break assists while driving, brake pedal would go to floor, causing me to keep pumping the breaks until I came to a complete stop. * Yes, the problem was confirmed by the dealer. * Yes, the component was inspected by the dealer. * Yes, ABS light would stay on, this first appeared at the end of 01/01/2021.

My 2014 ram 1500 went to the dealership for recalls and a wheel alignment, ecm failed to recognize new software updat and will not start, new chrysler ecm installed and truck still wont accept new software so will not start. Previous experience of a bad tipm insisted on various lights coming on tachometer display, cruise control shutting off at various speeds, engine shutting down and turning off on highway at cruising or passing speeds, had new integrated tipm installed and new Altenator, resoled issues.
