2016 Ram 1500 Brakes

ABS control modules are all out of stock, everywhere. This issue is becoming more and more common. I cannot replace the module or have it rebuilt because of a chip shortage, and I do not have ABS on my truck anymore.

My ABS, Traction Control, and Brake light came on. Having my vehicle scanned at a couple of shops, the error message is C2200-49 which is tied to the Anti-Lock Brake System Module - Internal Electronic Failure. Retailers like Autozone, Advance Autoparts, nor O'Riellys do not have the part. I've researched it and it's not just my vehicle. There are a ton of people who are having this same issue. I've shopped multiple online retailers; many say they have it until you order it. Then you get a message stating that the ordered part has been discontinued or is backordered with no eta by the manufacturer. I've even tried having the part refurbished with no luck. It seems that Mopar has stopped making the part and there is no timeline for replacement or fix.

ABS module failed, locked up the brakes and almost caused and accident

Anti Lock/skid brake module doesn't work, anti lock, anti skid, & Brake warning lights are all on. Service repairman informed me Ram stopped making repair parts for this. Problem is constant and has caused locked brakes, skid and a near collision. Warning lights on continuous. What am I supposed to do about this? I have a $20,000 vehicle unsafe to drive and can't repair.

ABS Control Module is bad so ABS no longer functions. This has been confirmed my a mechanic. ABS light, Traction control light and BRAKE light on dashboard are all on. Replacement part is no longer manufactured so it can not be repaired.

Anti-lock brake module is bad

I own a 2016 Ram 1500. The ABS control module has failed, which has completely disabled both the ABS system and the traction control system. This is a serious safety hazard because the vehicle now has no anti-lock braking or stability control, creating dangerous conditions in wet or emergency braking situations. •Component/System Failed: The ABS control module has malfunctioned. The part is still installed on my truck because I need it in place to drive the vehicle to work, but it can be made available for inspection if required. •Safety Risk: The failure disables both ABS and traction control, greatly increasing the risk of loss of control and extended stopping distances in wet, slippery, or emergency conditions. This creates a direct safety risk to both myself and others on the road. •Dealer Confirmation: I contacted a Ram dealer who confirmed that no replacement parts are available and that they do not know when or if parts will become available. •Inspection/Verification: The fault has been verified with an ABS diagnostic fault code. Local shops confirm this is a common failure. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives, but the failure is documented. •Warning Lights/Symptoms: The ABS warning lamp, traction control light, and brake system light are all illuminated on the dashboard. These first appeared at the time of the failure and remain constantly lit. The OEM (Stellantis/FCA) is not offering a new replacement ABS module. Multiple rebuild companies have told me they cannot repair this unit because the required electronic parts are unavailable. The only option available is extremely high-priced used modules from salvage sources, which are unreliable and difficult to obtain. This situation leaves owners without a safe or affordable path to restore critical safety systems. Despite being a known issue, there is no recall or service campaign from the manufacturer. NHTSA should investigate these ABS module failures on Ram

ABS module failure. Part has not been available for at least 2 years when the failure occurred for this truck. Local repair shops and Dodge dealers are having difficulty in getting the part. NHTSA needs to start pressuring Dodge to get this resolved.

ABS Control Module is throwing a code. I have spoke with my mechanic and countless others along with representatives of Mopar/Chrysler and this ABS Control Module has been on back order know for 2 years that I know of. From research I have done the part has been on back order longer than that. In my research I have also found that Mopar/Chrysler does not seem to be manufacturing this part anymore. This issue is effecting 100s if not 1000s of people who have spent a lot of money on these pickups and Mopar/Chrysler could seem to care less about it. 2 years of being on back order is absolutely ridicuous.

ABS Module is failing preventing other systems to work properly (cruise control). This part has been on order since February. The service technician said there are people who have been waiting on this part for over a year and a half. Looking on line this is a problem of enormous proportions on multiple model years. If this part is not available to make this repair, it leaves us with a dangerous braking problem which can effect multiple other functions of our vehicles. If Stellantis knows this part is such a needed safety module, what can be done so owners can have their vehicles repaired?

Per the dealer the ABS module failed, affecting the antilock brakes, traction control, trailer braking. Component failures causes erratic braking. The vehicle is now subject to longer stops in wet/slippery conditions. The dealer has diagnosed the problem. Chrysler/Ram do not have the ABS modules and they are on national back order. There is no known delivery date. Multiple lights are on in the vehicle. Vehicle has been at the dealer for more than 2 weeks now. The problem was diagnosed July 1, 2025. The needed part couldn't be sourced by the dealer.

Abs internal system failure. Abs light illuminated, traction control light illuminated, parking brake light illuminated at all times. Is available for inspection. Do not have abs system currently working and is faulty. Spongy braking and am at risk for brake failure at any time. Especially during slick road conditions. It has been confirmed with independent service center and has been inspected by them. No problems prior to the illumination of lights and system failure which occurred June 4th 2025.

In January 2025, the “Check ABS” warning light illuminated in my 2016 RAM 1500 Laramie. I promptly brought the vehicle to the dealership where it was purchased. Upon inspection, I was informed that the required part for repairs was on back order. I was assured that I would receive an update from the dealership in March 2025 regarding the status of the part, but I did not receive any communication. On June 20, 2025, I contacted the dealership for an update and was informed that the part remains on back order and is no longer being manufactured. However, no solutions or alternative options were provided to address this issue. A representative from the Service Department stated they would escalate the matter to the Parts Manager, but no further plan or resolution was discussed. Given that the vehicle ABS is a key safety feature, I am very concerned that a necessary safety component is unavailable.

Complaint: 2016 Ram 1500 - Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Module Failure Vehicle Information: Make: Ram Model: 1500 Year: 2016 Current Odometer Reading: Approximately 48,000 miles Incident Description: My 2016 Ram 1500 truck has experienced a failure of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module. This failure has resulted in the deactivation of several critical safety systems, including: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Traction Control System Cruise Control Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Consequences of Failure: The complete shutdown of these safety systems, particularly the ABS, poses a significant and immediate safety risk. Without a functional ABS, the vehicle's braking performance is severely compromised, increasing the likelihood of wheel lock-up during sudden braking and significantly elevating the risk of an accident or complete brake failure, especially under adverse road conditions. Dealer Response & Lack of Resolution: I contacted an authorized Ram dealership to address this critical issue. Unfortunately, the dealership informed me that they currently have no replacement parts for the ABS module and have received no guidance or support from Chrysler (Stellantis) regarding a resolution. This lack of parts and technical support leaves me with a vehicle that is, in my opinion, unsafe to operate and susceptible to an accident due to a known, unaddressed safety defect. Request for Action: I am submitting this complaint to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to report this serious safety defect. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this widespread issue and compel Ram/Chrysler to provide an immediate remedy for this ABS module failure, including the availability of necessary replacement parts and a clear repair protocol. The current situation leaves me with a vehicle that has compromised safety features, putting lives at risk.

The ABS warning light has appeared and the dealership inspected the vehicle and stated the ABS needs to be replaced. Research shows multiple RAM 1500 trucks from 2016-2019 have had a recall on this system, but as far as I know, no recall was issued on mine. I do not know where to look to view all recalls that were issued on a particular vehicle.

ABS Module failure. Cannot be repair due to discontinued part.

Brakes. Abs and traction control Brakes can fail Kindle dodge had truck for over a month cannot obtain part Abs and traction control lites appeared on driver information center

I have a 2016 Ram 1500 with unrepairable brake problems. My ABS system went out in November 2024 and was told that I need a new control module to make repairs. the problem is there are no module in the United States. They need to come from a foreign country and that they need to be inspected. This was to be completed by January 15, 2025. I am still unable to get the repairs. Under Pa. inspection I will need the repairs. They are now saying some time by the end of April it may be available. This sound similar to the recalls to the 2017 Ram 2500 where there is a problem with the ABS System. This is putting me and my family at risk, but I need a vehicle. My dealer is Faulkner Dodge, Mechanicsburg, Pa. 17055

1. ABS break system, 2.Breaks not working properly 3 yes 4. no 5. no

Started the vehicle and the ABS, Traction Control and Brake warning lights came on, as well as "Service Anti Lock Braking System" warning on the dash. Code C2200-49 internal failure ABS module. This is a common problem with Ram 1500s.

Internal abs malfunction, diagnostic code c220-49 vehichle is available for inspection upon request, abs module is a major safety risk as it highly increases the chance of an mva due to a brake system failure endangering many other drivers as these pickups are very common, problem has been confirmed by dealer, dealer told me that they are aware of many other vehicles with the same diagnostic code I have and that parts are on backorder with no eta whatsoever. Parking brake,abs,traction control lights are all on, cruise control has not worked as well ever since abs module went out, first appeared 09/01/2025

* There are ABS and Traction Control warning lamps and messages illuminated on the dash starting in July of 2024. They do not turn off. * Two different certified independent service centers diagnosed the ABS Module as the cause, which requires replacement. * The ABS module has malfunctioned causing the brakes to pulsate and extend safe stopping distance. The problem also causes the traction control feature to not work, which causes extreme danger on a wet surface. Additionally the cruise control will not set due to this ABS module malfunction. * I have ordered a new ABS module from RAM (part # 68295368-AC), but it has been under "Engineering Review" for months with no insight into when the problem will be fixed. Ram states that the truck is "safe to drive" while we wait, but my experience with it shows that to be false. RAM seems to expect us to drive an unsafe vehicle until they get around to finding a solution.

The brakes stopped working on September of 2024. I had to slam the emergency brake pedal to come to a stop. I slid into a ditch which caused autobody damage. A mechanic told me the ABS no longer works on my truck. He gave me this code: C2200. He said it defines the ABS module has failed. He said Mopar currently had no ABS modules in stock because they are constantly being replaced. I cannot drive the truck until the ABS module gets replaced.

The ABS module on my truck has been broken for over 9 months and RAM still can't provide a part. A search on the internet shows that this is a very common problem with RAM trucks and a lot of people are waiting on this part. Each time I have called to order the part, my local dealer has told me that they have had several calls about this and that they can't order the part because the system says it's under "engineering review" and that RAM says it will be ready next month. Well, I've heard this for 9 months now. Today, I was driving in the snow and had to brake hard and couldn't stop sliding because I don't have ABS brakes. Also, this has caused issues while pulling a trailer several times. I've turned this into RAM and NHTSA and have had no response. I really am trying to be patient with this, but this has gone on too long. If I have a wreck or someone in my family is hurt because of the unavailability of this part, I want something on record showing that I've addressed this several times.

The abs module has gone out and there's a nationwide hold on the part. The date keeps getting extended on release which tells me you all know there is a problem. Our truck has been sitting for months due to the issue but we are still expected to pay for something we can't even drive. Something needs to be done to correct this problem because there are lots of vehicles with the same issue which is very concerning seeing as how this is a safety feature.
