The ABS, Traction Control, & Trailer Braking system no longer function. The vehicle is still drivable, technically unsafely. Warning lights for these system on all the time. I took vehicle to my local repair shop and was told the ABS Controller Module has failed (code C2200-49 indicating an internal electronic failure within the controller). I was quoted a replacement cost of $1579 + tax. I was also told the part, 68228991AD is on indefinite backorder. I have tried to locate the part on my own and there is in fact a nationwide backorder. As of this date replacement and remanufactured modules are not available. This is not just an issue with 2015 Ram trucks but extends to other Ram model years using the same part number. This is a huge safety issue that should be addressed through a recall. It is a travesty that Ram would not maintain adequate supplies of essential safety-related repair parts for a vehicle that is only 10 years old. At this point I have no recourse except to drive...

Subject: Request for Investigation of ABS Module Failure and Part Unavailability To Whom It May Concern, I am requesting that NHTSA investigate a potential safety issue involving the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module, Part Number 68228991AD. The ABS module in my vehicle has failed, causing the ABS and cruise control systems to stop functioning. In addition, the ABS, check engine, and brake warning lights remain illuminated at all times. As a result, the vehicle no longer has anti-lock braking capability, which increases the risk of skidding and loss of control during emergency braking or adverse road conditions. My primary concern is that this safety-critical part appears to be discontinued or otherwise unavailable. I have spent more than three years attempting to locate a replacement through dealerships, parts suppliers, salvage yards, and online sources without success. Because the required part cannot be obtained, owners are left driving vehicles with a disabled ABS system fo...

While driving on the highway with my entire family in the vehicle, truck lost power without warning and what it seems it went into a limp mode. This created an incredibly hazardous situation, exposing my family and the drivers around us to an imminent risk of a high-speed collision. Thankfully, nothing happened and no one was hurt. Upon restarting the vehicle, the check engine light illuminated, and power was drastically reduced, capping our speed at approximately 40 mph. I brought the truck to St Charles's dealership for diagnosis. Service department has informed me that the root cause of this catastrophic failure was the crankshaft tone wheel. Furthermore, I was informed that this specific issue was an unaddressed/unfixed defect on my vehicle by Stellantis. What I learned is that the fix for a broken tone wheel required dropping the transmission to physically press a brand-new tone wheel onto the crankshaft. Because this was incredibly expensive and time-consuming, Chrysler rolled o...

2015 Ram 1500 Laramie. ABS, Traction control, Brake light warnings on. Cruise control also will not work. Have taken to dealer O'Steen in Nashville, Ga. and was told the ABS module is bad and they are unable to get one. They informed me they have had three other customers order this module and none have received the part. They have been on back order for over a year.
