Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor Problems of Dodge Journey

Earlier this year, my abs light came on in my car. I scanned it and pulled a code indicating that that right front wheel speed sensor had gone bad. I replaced the sensor, and cleared the code. A few months later, while driving during a thunderstorm, the light came back on. I scanned my car again, and the same code came up. The next day, after the weather was clear, the light had gone back off. Now, any time it rains or gets very cold, the light comes back on.

This is the second time the rear abs wheel speed sensor failed. My vehicle has 26,651 miles on it. This caused me to have to pull over on an interstate in order to check to see what was happening. This was a safety concern for me and I asked the dealership they said it's a known issue but no recalls on it.

I have had my cruise control sensor replaced multiple times within the last two years due to it not activating. After the last repair within 3 months it again stopped acting ating. This was about 8 months ago. 3 weeks ago I went to release my parking brake and heard a loud thud sound. The foot pedal would no longer catch and simply made a clicking sound. I had already scheduled an appointment for December 16, 2019 to repair my catalytic converter due to a recall that had been issued and let the service department know I had concerns with what possibly could be my emergency brake cable. They told me I could pay to gave it diagnosed but I let them know I would have to reschedule. Within this last week my truck has been flashing the traction warning light as well as the electronic throttle control sensor light which seems to come on sporadically. I am concerned that the emergency brake line could have been caught through a recall for approximately 276,000 model-year 2012-15 Dodge Journey suvs manufactured between April 21, 2012, and April 14, 2015. This seal of the wiring harness may have prevent water from getting into the system on my truck. After doing some research the problem may be my speed sensor, which is a major component of the abs system. The constant replacing of the cruise control may have been a sign that this system was being affected.

Been having serious intermittent issues with my brakes. My traction control light and abs lights would come on simultaneously and then brakes start to make a grinding noise as well as pedal starts to shake. Brought it into dealership on 10/6/19 as it was throwing a code for a wheel speed sensor. Had them replace that along with a full brake system check only for it to start having same issues 2 weeks later. I've read online of many other customers having the exact same issue only for Dodge to slap a bandaid on it. I have 3 kids and do not feel safe driving them anywhere as it is a serious safety concern.

Traction control light on and abs light on constantly. Customer complaint of vehicle not stopping and abs activate pulse felt in brake pedal. Wheel speed sensor giving a fault code was replaced but still having the same issue. Hooked up snap-on scanner and found communication issues from abs to tcm to ecu so a data line most likely a culprit. Vehicle has 75k miles. Attached is a scan report of the codes found on vehicle. This seems to be common on many of the same vehicles. Will report findings once customer agrees to further investigate the issue. I'm thinking a faulty abs module or wiring to abs and faulting out the data communication line causing data loss between other modules in the system.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that their vehicle was repaired under two recalls regarding the abs system. The contact stated that after having the repairs completed that while driving approximately 5 mph when the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The contact stated that when they pressed the brake pedal, the brake pedal failed to move causing the vehicle to fail to stop. The contact stated that the vehicle then turned to the right and crashed into the curb on the side of the road causing the vehicle to come to a stop. No air bags deployed. The front-end of the vehicle was damaged. The contact had no injuries. A police report was not filed. The contact stated they had their spouse come to slowly drive the vehicle home at approximately 5 mph, then had they had the vehicle towed to the dealer (address: 1880 highway 290 wbrenham, TX 77833-5216; phone: 979-291-2785) who stated that the speed control sensor failed and needed to be replaced as well as other repairs, which, were unknown. The vehicle's abs system was still failing. The contact spoke with the manufacturer who referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that a loud grinding sound emitted from the vehicle when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact also mentioned that the abs and traction control warning lights illuminated randomly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure codes were cleared, but the failure was unable to be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on three occasions and the front passenger side speed sensor module was replaced. In addition, the gears slipped and the abs and traction control warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v675000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic) and 11v550000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The failure mileage was not available.
