1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2021

My vehicle was in motion and I was driving on a three lane street with a speed limit of 45 mph when the abs brake system suddenly seized. The brakes remained engaged and the only way I could drive my car was to put it in reverse, then neutral then drive. My entire drive home I could hear the brakes and whenever I had to stop at a stop sign the brakes would lock.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2017

Brakes locked up 3/2017 had it towed to anderson Jeep in az. They replaced the abs module and hcu. 100 days later they locked up again in mn. Towed to forest lake Jeep. When tested it worked ok then later they drove it and it locked up while they were traveling down the road. Codes showed same parts have to be replaced. They don't feel confident that this will correct the problem. We are concerned that this will cause a safety problem in the future. The latest was on a city street while car was in motion.
