2021 RAM 2500

This problem first occurred on a state highway in [XXX] in 2023 and again in 2026 (this incident.) While driving south on XXX, there was an undulation/slight bump in the interstate while in a mild right hand curve. My vehicles brakes engaged without my input and slowed me down from 70mph to 35mph with traffic behind me. My gas accelerator and brake pedal were unresponsive from user input. At no point was my vehicle out of control to trigger such aggressive braking from my ESC, ERM, or ABS. The…

The Ram ABS Brake recall is over 2 years old. My dash abs lights and alarm continually are alarming. When they alarm the cruise control quits working too. The manufacturer cannot tell me when the parts will be available. They say it is safe to drive but the recall says accidents could occur. I cannot get rid of this unsafe truck because the resale value stinks due to the recall. What do 317,000 owners do?

2018 RAM 2500
Filed Jul 18, 2026
I received this safety recall in late 2024 (it is currently July 2026). I have made numerous calls to local dealerships and have called the manufacturer's customer service line. I have been told during these calls that parts are not available to repair my vehicle. Considering the safety recall notices I received in the mail states in bolded text that the loss of ABS/ESC/Traction control may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning, the time this has been left unrepaired seems unreasonable. I…
