2020 Ram 1500 Forward collision avoidance Problems

“Purchased 2020 Ram limited on july 14, 2020. Msrp was $70,355. On july 16 was traveling on I-15 when all traffic was stopped in front of me. I was traveling over 70 MPH. I applied brakes and nothing, didn't even slow me down. To avoid colliding with any of the stopped cars I left the roadway and drove onto the shoulder and into the bar ditch. Took me approx half mile to get stopped. Stopped by going up an exit. When I finally stopped, I was terrified. I checked brake pedal for obstruction and it was clear. …”

“I was driving on I-15 between cedar city, ut and st george, ut. Driving approx 75mph when suddenly traffic was stopped in front of me in both lanes. Applied brakes with absolutely no results. Drove off of paved portion of highway to avoid hitting stopped cars. Vehicle had less than 500 miles on it and I had owned it for 3 days. Finally got vehicle stopped approx 3/4 mile down the road. Approx $1700 damage to vehicle. Approx 5 months later I pulled into u.s post office to park. Brakes again failed and I hit brick building at approx 5mph or less. …”

“ABS light keeps coming on and off. The 4WD keeps going on and off and the cruise control and traction keeps working then not working. There is a recall for other year models for the ABS system that basically is exactly what’s happening with my truck. I am worried that it will go out and my truck will stop and cause and accident which almost happened today. This should be a recall alongside those other year models.”

“My truck was taken to the ram dealership in Conway, AR and they told me it needed an ABS Module and it was ordered and that was in January of 2025 so it has now been almost a year that the part (ABS Module) has been on back order and there is still no ETA. That is a serious issue and my truck that I have still been paying on is not fit to drive safely and hasn’t been since. Something needs to be done about that and time is very much of the essence!”

“Driving 60 mph down the highway in North Dallas, no vehicles around me in close proximity, went under an overpass, the truck braked severely, no skid but a very abrupt slowing to 10-15 mph, if anyone was behind us, it would have caused a major wreck. Pulled over and turned off the front collision warning system until I could get it reported. The message it flashed on the dash was unknown object encountered. I have not taken it back to the dealer. No police were called because there was no accident, just very scary.”
