general problems of the 2014 Jeep Wrangler

Abs module failure with no replacement available. Unit available for inspection. Vehicle can not be safely driven. Doesn't brake properly and not reliable on wet roads. Speed control non functional. Vehicle has been at dealer for months. Vehicle has been inspected by insurance and Jeep dealership. Multiple warning lamps are lit. First appeared after accident. Abs module replacements are not available per dealer.

My abs module failed, which is a very well know issue with the 2014 to 2018 models. When the abs module failed I was driving the vehicle and it went into fail safe mode while I was on the freeway service road. The speedometer stopped working and the vehicle would not go over about 20 mph. The vehicle was fine one minute and then I had no control of how fast I was going. I was with traffic that was going 60 mph and it could have been extremely dangerous for me or other drivers. The vehicle has been at the dealership since October 3rd, 2025 and has not been drivable due to this issue. It has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealership. There were warning lights but I was told that it was fine to drive until the part was available. It is currently on a national backorder for the last 18+ months without an estimated arrival date. The failure first appeared in June of 2024 and the part has been on backorder since then.

I own a 2014 Jeep Wrangler sahara jku with approximately 67,000 miles. The vehicle has experienced a failure involving the abs control module and related braking/stability systems. Current symptoms include: * abs warning light illuminated * brake warning light illuminated * traction control warning light illuminated * intermittent speedometer malfunction * brake pedal occasionally vibrates and becomes soft during operation * vehicle hesitates for several seconds when accelerating from a stopped position while dashboard warning lights flash the vehicle has been diagnosed by two separate Jeep repair facilities as having a failed abs control module. I have been informed that replacement abs modules for this vehicle have been unavailable for approximately nine months and remain unavailable as of today. This appears to be a widespread issue affecting Jeep Wrangler jk vehicles, with many owners reportedly unable to obtain replacement safety-critical abs modules through mopar or dealership networks. Because the abs and traction/stability systems are malfunctioning, the vehicle cannot pass inspection and is unsafe for my family of four, especially during rain or emergency braking situations. This issue affects federally mandated vehicle safety systems, including anti-lock braking and electronic stability control. Owners should not be left without access to replacement parts for critical safety equipment for extended periods of time.

Our abs control module has failed. P/n 68145835ae. It's available at any time to inspect. The abs system does not function. In a rain or snow situation this could cause severe harm to us and others on the road. Our local service center that works on a wide array of Jeep Wrangler products says they have other customers with the same problem on this specific model. It is also reported substantially on online Jeep enthusiast forums. The unit in our Jeep has been looked at by our service center. There are warning lights on the dash indicating the abs is non-functional. This failed in may 2024. The abs module also controls speed control and that also is no longer working. It has been this way for over a year. Other Jeep owners with this similar issue have reported the same issue. This appears to be a systemic issue that Jeep is very aware of but has taken no action to correct. The cost if I want to have this repaired is $1,200 plus labor.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the ongoing issue with the abs control module in my vehicle. For the past two years, this component has been faulty, leaving me without abs functionality, traction control, and proper braking performance. As a result, I have experienced several dangerous situations in which my vehicle was nearly involved in accidents due to these safety deficiencies. Despite my efforts to resolve the matter, I have been unable to obtain the replacement part. I have contacted multiple dealerships, suppliers, and even mopar directly, yet I have been given no estimated timeframe for delivery. I currently have the part on order, fully paid for, and after two years there is still no indication of when or if it will become available. This situation has created serious safety concerns for both myself and other motorists. Furthermore, I am unable to trade in or properly service my vehicle due to this unresolved issue. I find this unacceptable and believe it demonstrates a significant failure in both product support and customer service. I respectfully request immediate action to resolve this matter, whether through expedited access to the replacement part, an alternative solution, or other appropriate corrective measures. My priority is ensuring my vehicle is safe to operate, and I urge you to address this situation without further delay.

Driving sometimes with cruise on and sometimes not or going up a slight inclined the car will lose rpm goes down and then back up. I was merging on to a highway went to give it gas and rpm goes down and I had 2 semis coming up on me so had to pull over to shoulder. It is very unsafe because you just dont know when it is going to do it. Have had it in to dealership computer and no code. But very very frustrating. They have put computer on and drove around and of course it wouldnt do it. We are at our end of the rope we don't know what to do. Service dept just said if it doesn't throw a code cant do anything. I guess when we get hit they wiil do something.

The antilock brake module shorted out causing the line to melt and shut down my vehicle.

Hi I was driving the vehicle and the accelerated got stuck while driving for a few seconds . I applied the break but accelerated kept on giving the engine gas when I release the break the car would accelerate forward and finally after about 10seconds the vehicle accelerated went back to normal . There was a lighting volt that came on on the dashboard as a issue and the light disappeared when the acceleration petal came back up .

Upon startup, in park and stationary, engine revs to 4000-5000 rpm, turn ignition to off and restart, engine revs to 4000-5000 rpm, turn ignition to off, wait 30 seconds restart everything seems fine. Bought new in 2014, has happened several times over the last 5 years.

I have a problem with my Jeep Wrangler unlimited 2014 , this week the etc (electronic throttle control) and traction control light turn on and I lost engine power, it just ran idle. It can not go more than 2000 rpm. I turn it off and on and it was everything ok. Also the tire pressure sensor light is still on all the time. The tire pressure still in 35 psi.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. While at a stop light, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle jerked forward. As a result, the contact's vehicle crashed into the rear of another vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. The VIN was unavailable.

On July 3, 2014, the vehicle lost engine power while I was driving during a 150-mile road trip. Upon coasting for a short distance, engine power restored, and I was able to accelerate and continue driving without further trouble that day. I did not take the vehicle to the dealer for repair because I assumed it was an isolated episode. However, on July 22, 2014, I again had trouble while on another 300-mile round-trip road trip. During the return drive, the vehicle lost engine power at least six times both on the interstate and on local roads. Each time, I had to coast to the side of the road so as to not block the flow of traffic. After a short time, about 30 seconds, engine power restored, and I was again able to accelerate and continue on with my trip. I took the vehicle in to the dealer on July 23, 2014, where it was kept until July 28, 2014. The technicians were unable to reproduce the issue, and the problem could not be identified. Software updates were run in an attempt to correct the problem. I again had trouble with the vehicle on August 18, 2014, when driving a 400-mile round-trip road trip. During the drive, the vehicle lost engine power five times on the interstate, at speeds up to 70 miles per hour. Upon the fifth episode that day, I took the vehicle to the closest dealer for immediate attention, as I feared I would cause an accident by losing engine power while driving on a busy interstate. The service department was unable to reproduce the issue, but the technician stated that he ¿saw signs� of the problem I described during his evaluative drive. The vehicle was released to me and I was told to take it back to the usual dealer the following day for a more comprehensive evaluation. Upon driving it for over 100 miles, the service department has been unable to replicate the problem and, thus, again has been unable to identify and repair the issue.
