NHTSA complaint #11374813, filed 2020-11, 13,900 miles“Intermittent Electronic Brake System and ABS Failure messages. Been dealing with this issue for over a year now. Dealership told me I had to wait almost a year before there would be a fix and that’s if I’m lucky. The ABS pump motor and the software are both faulty and Ram is aware of how to fix it, and haven’t. There needs to be a recall for issue, ASAP.”

The first time it was repaired around 3,200 miles, the second time was around 32,000 miles and now around 72,000 miles. The light flases randomly and when it does i can't use my cruise control.My vehicle can be inspected any time.”
