2018 Ram 1500 Electronic stability control Problems

“Drove the vehicle about 4 hours to pick up my daughter. Had the vehicle idling for a while as I waited for her arrive since she was running late. Put the car in drive and started to head home and the service shifter message came on. Then the transmission warning came on as well as a message with the brake system. The service engine light came on as well as the lightening bolt in red. …”

“I was driving out of my drive way, and my vehicle went into park by itself. It appeared a strange message on the screen saying 'car not in drive, shift to park'. Also my vehicle displayed an alert message saying 'alert: electronic throttle control system malfunction, the vehicle onboard diagnostic system has detected a malfunction'.

“The contact owns a 2018 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed in rainy weather, the brake pedal was firmly depressed to stop at a traffic light, but the rear brakes seized, causing the vehicle to hydroplane into the middle of an intersection. The contact made a U-turn and continued driving. The ABS, traction control, and brake system warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced; however, the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. …”
