2017 Ram 1500 Cruise Control Problems

I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding my 2017 Ram 1500. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) module has been non-functional for approximately one year. I have been informed the replacement part has been on national backorder for nearly two years, with no clear timeline for repair.

My 2017 Ram 1500 is experiencing a critical failure of the ABS control module, resulting in persistent brake system warning lights, ABS warning, and electronic stability control (ESC) warning on the dashboard.

When we bought the truck we drove to Virginia beach, va. The cruise control was locked on at 72mph and had to turn truck off to keep from rear ending many vehicles stopped on Interstate. Brake failure has almost caused wreck 5 or 6 times.

Despite recall u61/NHTSA 18v-332 being completed on my pickup- on 7/23/2018 I was southbound on interstate 29 between st.joseph and kansas city mo the morning of october 31, 2019. We had snow, freezing precipitation, etc the eve before and driving was tenuous at best.

Check ABS System, Check Electric Brake System, Check Trailer Tow, icy/skid light, and emergency BRAKE dash lights are all on. Trailer brakes module will not engage electric trailer brakes when towing heavy equipment, cruise control will not function, and anti-skid brakes (Plusing brakes, instead of brakes lock-up) do not function. The latter lock-up of brakes is a huge safety issue.

The NTSB requires that the manufacturer install ABS and SRS systems on the vehicle. The manufacturer, Ram is having issues supplying repair parts, the Anti Lock Break Control module is on national backorder with no idea of when it will be available. This is a serious safety issue and someone needs to review and determine if this can be corrected.

I keep getting the service electronic stability control along with ABS, no traction control,no remote start and no power whatsoever when I drive it happens mainly when it's cold outside but we have had this issue before and it was in and out of the dealerships garage for 8 months and the problem eventually went away after it got warm outside again.

While in gear the throttle has accelerated uncontrollably without a foot on the pedal. It has happened twice now and both times resulted in significant damage. Applying the brake made no difference they were just overpowered by the motor.

The anti lock brakes warning light is illuminated and dealership has no repair parts to fix the defect resulting in an unsafe condition. this also results in an inability to operate the cruise control function of the automobile . The condition has existed for over one year with no ability to obtain the needed repair parts to remedy the situation.

My ABS module is bad. I have no traction control, or cruise control. My truck shows service trailer brake system, service electronic braking system, and service antilock brake system.

My ABS system is not working Anti-traction control and cruise control. Dealer says parts not available for last 2 years. No reasons for manufacturer delays.

The cruse control comes one when it wants to this is an intermittent problem and gives no warnings it has happened several times since we bought the truck

While driving the vehicle, the cruise control disengages, the traction control light comes on, and the ABS light comes on along with a warning bell dinging incessantly! It may stay like this for hundreds of miles or may be intermittent. Sometimes I can restart the vehicle and it will reset and sometimes it won’t.

Brake, ABS and traction control lights all came on and according to Dodge Dealer the cause is the ABS ECU control module and /or ABS hydraulic system.

Part# 68295368AC ABS control module failed about 3 months ago. Took to dealership to repair and they said no eta on when part will arrive and that there is a national shortage on the part and 100's of these are waiting to come in for repairs. Contact Dodge/Ram and basically told the same thing.

Cruise control won't turn on and buttons related to cruise control are unresponsive. Last time it did work about a month ago the cruise control wouldn't turn off with the steering wheel button, had to hit the brakes. Vehicle had all recalls done, there was one related to the cruise control.

When using the cruise control between 30 and 45 MPH, when resuming the vehicle will gain up to 10mph over the set speed and the rpms will sit at 4k until cruise control is disengaged. This occurs on inclines, declines and flat surfaces. This has been confirmed by two dealerships on this vehicle.

Cruise control system disengaging during freeway operation. When attempting to re-enable cruise control system, vehicle shows cruise control system still active. Cruise control system must be deactivated to re-enable cruise control.

Returning from a trip to mi back to my residence in tn. As I made a turn into my subdivision I started to accelerate to my next turn when I experienced a sudden acceleration of my vehicle. I had been using the vehicles cruise control as much as possible during the 10 hour drive home so it felt familiar, like the cruise control was trying to accelerate my vehicle.

The cruise control turned itself on, while trying to turn it off the gas accelerated and I was unable to disengage the cruise control. I was unable to control the speed as it kept rising, causing me to go into the ditch striking a 6 ft culvert tile and flipping my vehicle.
