2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2025

My Wrangler's brakes locked up repeatedly and I took it to the dealer. They said that it needs a new abs module but that part is not made anymore. This is a safety issue and I now have a car that I can't sell, can't fix, and can't drive. My wife almost got into an accident.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2023

The abs contoller has failed! this controls the anti lock system on the brakes. People can loose control of their vehicle with this failure. All dealers and parts warehouses are on back order with no eta in sigh! this is very concerning and should be a safety recall because it is a well known maor safety failure. Nobody has they part! this should be a safety issue and a recall just like the air bags/ sensors! all my lights on the dash came on. . Abs, brakes, anti slip, check engine light etc. . . I went right to my mechanice shop a few mile from were I was! it was a abs internal failure! obviosly a well known fact because everyone is having the same issue. This concerns braking and not locking up the brakes were you can loose control of the vehicle or no brake pedal response at all! please look into it. We will be contacting our state senanator to also bring up this concern. Thank you in advance for the help! are we suppose to stop driving to work? no eta in sight?.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2021

Experiencing the death wobble.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2021

It has been a common known issue for at least the past year for Chrysler/Jeep to have faulty abs modules in their vehicles. The abs control module is a microprocessor that runs diagnostic checks of a vehicle's antilock braking system and processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system to determine when to release braking pressure at a wheel that's about to lock up and start skidding. It is probably one of the most important parts of a vehicle to make it safe. My local Jeep dealership said to me today that Chrysler plans to be able to allow them to order this part in February of 2023. I feel this is unacceptable, very unsafe and lives can be lost if the production of this part does not come sooner.

7 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2015

Me and my dad were driving on the expressway and it was 65 miles an hour all of a sudden the Jeep started shaking violently and it did it 3 times while we're on the expressway. The Jeep was doin the death wobble and both of us were shaken up. The brakes went out and had a hard time stopping. It's ridiculous and I think that these parts should be recalled. I'm gonna call detroit tomorrow.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2015

The clock spring ceased to work turning off the airbag, there was a shudder and the tcs (traction controlled system) began braking on its own. Then when the brakes were depressed the system went shuddery and quit working. This is a known issue with 2007 thru 2013 Jeep Wranglers and there is a recall on the part, except that crysler has determined that it only affects a very limited number of Jeeps. This is not the case. A search on google will show hundreds of cases where the clock spring breaks, causing the airbags to become turned off and the end and tcs systems to go haywire, making the vehicle uncontrollable and undriveable. Chrysler has refused to recall the part in Wranglers Jeep liberty and two other brands. The hazzard is compounded immensely if you happen to get (death wobble) yet another unfixed issue. This will lead to accidents and death, if it hasn't already.
