Hi all
This may have been discussed but it needs a revisit.
The issue with these trucks is a reoccurring Electronic Brake System Failure message along with ABS and Stability Control faults.
Our 2017 3500 only has 27K miles as it is primarily used to tow our gooseneck horse trailer.
This is now the third time this error has appeared. Twice they replaced both the ABS controller and hydraulic unit.
I called my dealer again and they researched it and discovered these parts are on hold for a possible redesign with an expected ETA of February 2024!
This means those of us with this error are driving safety compromised trucks.
I urge everyone who has this issue to report it to the NHTSA site as there are many reports of this problem there now and they have opened an investigation into this problem.
The site is nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2017/ram/3500.
I think the more of us who complain the better a chance of getting a recall and quicker action.
Just FYI my first pair was covered under warranty. The second pair cost approximately $1K for the repair. I hope to eventually be reimbursed if they are forced onto a recall.
Thanks
