Brake Sensor problems of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Just like many other people have wrote about, the abs sensor is defective. The abs light comes and the traction light does also. Jeep has been aware of the problem for 18 months to 2 years. There is no fix or replacement sensor in sight.

Within the past 6 months I have had to repair two abs sensors, one in the front and one in the rear. This last sensor blowout happened while I was stopping at a light. I heard a grinding sound and felt the vibration in the break peddle as I tried to stop. The Jeep then wouldn't accelerate properly after I got it stopped as I tried to get to the side of the road. I had a problem moving the vehicle off the road as the abs kept kicking in and grinding me to a stop. The mechanic said that the sensor was having a issue picking up the speed of the tires. My Jeep Wrangler sport is a 2016 4 door model, it spent 2017 in a storage and I bought it late 2016. It currently has 68795 miles on it. In the 2 1/2 years I have had this on the road I've replaced two abs sensors, had it in the shop for misfiring and my ac units blower motor seems to be failing. As a comparison, I have a 2010 Dodge challenger that has been in for less repairs.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 35 mph, the abs and traction warning indicators illuminated. The contact lost control of the vehicle and swerved off the road. The transmission revved and the rpms went all the way up. The vehicle was taken to premier cape cod Jeep (460 yarmouth rd, hyannis, MA 02601, (508) 815-5000) to be diagnosed, but the dealer would not service the vehicle due to the warranty issues and they were also booked for weeks with appointments. The vehicle was also taken to heller Jeep (635 mill st route 6, marion, MA 02738, (508) 748-0019) where it was diagnosed that the abs and traction sensors needed to be repaired. The dealer further stated that the engine overheated and leaked coolant and the transmission failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 17,978.

Vehicle has exhibited multiple occurrences of rapid acceleration once the brake pedal is released. While driving down the road, the engine light and the engine controller light will suddenly come on and the vehicle will seem to loose power. Applying the break to slow the vehicle does not seem to help as the vehicle will begin to accelerate back up to driving speed once the brake pedal is released (almost like when the cruise control renegades. This has happened multiple times. The vehicle was take to the Jeep dealer where're they reset the code several times and relearned the pedal position sensor with a firmware reboot. This has not fixed the issue and Jeep is not able to identify the cause. This problem can cause an accident as the vehicle has suddenly accelerated up to 30-35 mph when turning into parking lots or away from stop signs. This also happens when in putting the vehicle in reverse.
