What owners report
I am filing this safety complaint regarding a defective ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) on my 2023 Ram 1500 Classic TRADESMAN CREW CAB 4x4 5.7L Hemi with approximately 87,000 miles. DEFECT DESCRIPTION: The ABS HCU periodically fails, resulting in complete loss of anti-lock braking, traction control, electronic stability control, 4WD and cruise control. This is an identical failure mode to the defect addressed under NHTSA Recall 24V-896, which covered 2017-2018 Ram 2500-5500 trucks.

The contact owns a 2023 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The battery light was illuminated and displayed 0 percent but then increased to 25 percent. Due to the failure, the vehicle failed to shift into neutral, and the contact was unable to activate the hazard warning lights to alert other drivers. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The dealer was contacted, and the vehicle was scheduled to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
My truck went into park while in traffic and engaged the parking brake. I believe it is part of the eTorque electrical stalling failure. I had to turn off the truck, put it in drive, then put it in park, then turn off parking brake, then back into drive.
