What Owners Say
"hcu went out"
Anonymous, OH (2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon 6.4-L V8)"Apparently the ABS module is a known for early failure/replacement. I paid $1,200 to have this ABS module replaced in NOV/2023 by dealership after a few weeks of dealing with intermittent warning lights and sounds coming on while driving to "Service electronic braking system" and "Service ABS system". As of this writing (less than 12 months) the ABS light has returned to activating intermittently. Pursuing options with dealership."
Anonymous A., FL (2018 Ram 2500 Laramie 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)"The ABS and Traction Control Warning has an issue resulting in loss of both. The fix is expensive. Had to remove fuse to stop audible warning. Fromw hat I have read this is a common issue but no recall or warranty offered."
Anonymous A., MO (2018 Ram 2500 ST 6.4-L V8)"ABS mobile failure after red light came on in September 2023. Was told part not available till March 2024. In March, dealership states Stelantis re-engineered part due to many failures and will be available in May( this month). Today dealership stated that Stelantis is making them perform an extensive checklist to make sure module is the problem prior to replacement. I was first to present to Jimmy Britt dealership, so I will be first for replacement"

Anonymous, FL (2018 Ram 2500 Laramie 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)"Apparently this is a known issue with the HCU being defective that Ram refuses to issue a recall about. Very annoying & causes the vehicle to be unable to maintain travelling in cruise control not to mention the constant dinging of the notification sound. Part is not available or extremely difficult to find and at our last check, is over $500"

Anonymous A., KS (2018 Ram 2500 Laramie 6.4-L V8)"Caliper hung up breaking the pads and damaging rotors on passengerv side. Replaced both sides rotors, brake pads,calipers. Also my ABS WARNING light is on because the vacuum pump for the ABS needs replacing"
Anonymous, MI (2018 Ram 2500 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)"Rear brakes have been making a screeching noise since I bought it. Dealership addressed the problem by applying a noise reducing paste to the brake pads. This charmingly shortsighted attempt to fix the problem lasted for about two weeks. Brakes continue to screech. I've read online of others experiencing similar issue."
