contents It is an open problem of Mazari-Armida whether every abstract elementary class of $R$-modules $(\mathbf{K}, \leq_{\mathrm{pure}})$, with $\leq_{\mathrm{pure}}$ the pure submodule relation, is stable. We answer this question in the negative by constructing unstable abstract elementary classes $(\mathbf{K}, \leq_{\mathrm{pure}})$ of torsion-free abelian groups. On the other hand, we prove (in $\mathrm{ZFC}$) that if $R$ is any ring and $(\mathbf{K}, \preccurlyeq)$ is an abstract elementary class of $R$-modules which is $κ$-local (also called $κ$-tame) for some $κ\geq \mathrm{LS}(\mathbf{K}, \preccurlyeq)$, then $(\mathbf{K}, \preccurlyeq)$ is almost stable, where almost stability is a new notion of independent interest that we introduce in this paper, and which is equivalent to the usual notion of stability under the assumption of amalgamation. As a consequence, assuming the existence of a strongly compact cardinal $κ$, we have that every abstract elementary class $(\mathbf{K}, \preccurlyeq)$ of $R$-modules with amalgamation satisfying $κ> \mathrm{LS}(\mathbf{K}, \preccurlyeq)$ is stable.
