There are 6 owner-reported driver assist & adas complaints for the 2018 Ram 3500in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
I have not been involved in an accident yet. You can’t drive the truck because the warning goes every 2 minutes. The brake hydraulic control unit has failed and they will not fix the truck. I can’t pull my camper. I have at least 6 hours on the phone with Ram and they say there is nothing they can do. The dealer ship says they have the part that is on the truck now, but Ram will not allow them to install it. It’s not the new part. Mean while my truck is useless until they fix it. They have been aware of this issue since 2017 and they still do not have a replacement part. The right thing for them to do is put the they have on hand on it so I can a least drive the truck. The truck has 90k miles on it. The vin # [XXX] . My contact info is [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Abs braking system not working per dash lights Safety is un sure due to not knowing It is always on the dash as a problem that needs to be fixed or inspected It started 2 months ago an can’t be reset.todays date 11/14/2024
Pulling a travel trailer in the mountains on vacation this month my Service ABS light started coming on and off intermittently and the alarm would sound each time. Each time my cruse control would turn off and I wasn't sure if my emergency ABS brakes were going to work, or not, if I needed them to pulling my trailer with my wife in the truck. I was 1,500 mile away from home and this created a stressful circumstance for me the rest of the trip. Upon arriving home, I discovered on the web that this is a know problem with Dodge RAMs of this year model. I also saw recall notices associated with 2018 models, just one year younger than mine with the exact same symptoms. Obviously, this problem didn't get fixed for the 2018 model year. I am quite concerned that my truck may not be safe and the ABS problem needs to be addressed. I am going to pay to have it fixed, but I feel confident that a recall notice needs to be executed, and executed NOW so others dont't have to die from a problem that was known and unaddressed. Thank you. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Abs warning light indicator is on. Dealership says abs module and pump have to be replaced, but parts are not available. I've been waiting since Nov of 2023.
The ABS/HCU module failed. I had to replace on 05/14/2021. At the time of replacement, I was unaware the NHTSA launched an investigation October of 2022. At this present moment, I am faced with replacing the ABS/HCU module again. The cruise control does not work and the traction and ABS lights are on again.
