I'm sorry to say it wont stop w/ the service brake warning, it will grow like cancer in your truck. Next you will see the parking brake on, traction control wont work, trailer brakes, then the electronic start will start to go out. I have been having this issue on my truck as well (1028 Power Wagon 6.4). I has been in the dealer 3 ties for the same problem. The last time it was there for 17 days. They cannot fix the problem, they flew out star mechanics and still hasn't been fixed. It has been going on for 6 months. I am trying to have FCA buy the truck back, but they want to "fix: it again. the problem is they wont supply me w/ a rental car.
Don't they have to give you a rental if they keep? Doesn’t make sense.

That's what I am so upset about...I have a full warranty.
Have you called corporate? Or another dealership? Thats Bs then. How about the customer care specialist that is on the forum?

I would have a field day with the department manager if it was my truck

Yes, I'm dealing w/ FCA now. I just called again this morning. They say they will not hold a car for me, if one is there then I can have it, but no reservation. I DM'd a person on here this morning

My first question is this, have you done any aftermarket programming to your truck? If you have done aftermarket programming, then that could be the problem right there. If the answer is no, then you've likely got a lemon. Your experience sounds pretty ******, but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen with this guy's truck.

Also, dealerships don't fly out ANY mechanics. If anything, the dealerships send data to the manufacturer who diagnose the problem and send the way to fix it.

As for your "rental", if you bought it from a Dodge dealership, I don't know of any, at least here in AZ, that won't give a courtesy vehicle if they have to keep it longer than a day. It's actually in your paperwork. Mine provided me one when I had mine in for last service and they only had it for a day, but I told them there was sfuff I absolutely had to do that day.

Hope you get this resolved, but done be telling this guy it's gonna happen to his truck when there are thousands of 2018 PW rolling the streets and numerous owners on this forum who haven't had your issue.

They don't fly them out but the specialists will certainly go to the dealer for certain issues. I know they did when my air ride was a problem.

I’m dropping it off tonight. I’ll keep you posted.

Yes, please let us know what they say. I am bringing mine in Wednesday for them to look at everything. My issue is it's a 2014 with only 25,000 miles on it - so definitely out of warranty, but hopefully they are pretty cool with it all.

Keep us updated!

The mechanic accessed the ABS or even the dynamic tire circumference option when doing the flash and didn’t reset the troubles codes. Any time the ABS is accessed at all it throw that message until the proper sequence is cleared. It popped up on mine when I set my tire circumference in the BCM. I had to go into the ABS module to reset the ABS code and clear the fault. BTW, Ram had the wrong tire size from the factory in my truck. If you trim level has the upgraded tires, the door sticker will reflect this, but the rolling mileage will still be for the smaller tires. My truck should be at 36k right now and it’s at 40k.

Good to know it was no charge. I’ll show this to them next week. Talking to the service dept guy he seemed to know exactly what it was when I explained it to him.

Thanks for the follow up!

2016 Power Wagon. 6.4. This was on my dash when it came back from the dealer. All they did was 3 recalls and change the oil. The dealer says to bring it in and he will see what code it is showing. Any know what it is? Pic is attached.

Really???? Wow. Yes, I know what that is. Just like it states...SERVICE ELECTRONIS BRAKING SYSTEM" To fix it, ya get in your truck, start it up, and drive it to your dealer and show them.

2019 SRW 3500 Laramie w/21K. Completely stock, no mods. Came out yesterday, started up and got “Service ABS System”, “Service Electronic Stability Control”, and “Service Trailer Brake System”. None of my cameras are working either.
Disconnected batteries for 30 mins, re-connected, waited overnight to re-start and nothings changed. Problem is, I live in the mountains and can’t go anywhere without 4WD, and that won’t engage either. UGH!
Anyone found a remedy to this without taking it to the dealer?
Called them and have been waiting a couple hours for a return call.
Thanks!
