36 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2025

The abs module has failed and this is such a widespread issue with Jeep Wranglers that you can't even find a new abs module part to order. The failure of this part impacts the braking system. Jeep should make a recall and fix this issue.

37 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2025

The anti lock brake module is not signaling correctly, causing the car to lose power for a second every few minutes, braking is more difficult, and there is no traction on slippery surfaces. The cruise control also is not working, and the brake, abs and traction warning lights flash every few minutes while operating. It was in the shop for a month waiting on the new module, and it is back ordered with no estimated date for shipping. My vehicle is under warranty and I’m not able to go outside the terms to get it fixed, and mopar is not making any effort to provide a solution. The dealership even said they had another that had been sitting in their shop for over a year with the same problem. The car is drivable but only until the system goes completely, which will be when it goes into emergency limp mode at a random time while driving, so driving it means taking on that risk.

38 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2025

Left front brake caliper not releasing. Replaced caliper and brake pads, problem still exist. After some research found that there has been an issue with brake line. Apparently the mounting bracket on the line has in some cases pinched the line restricting fluid flow causing brake to not release fully. Have seen multiple instances of this problem on line. Curious why Jeep has not addressed this issue? am currently waiting for new brake line to replace existing one to attempt to correct the problem. For reference I am a certified mechanic and this is my personal vehicle which is why I am preforming the repair myself.

41 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2025

The abs control module has failed (part number 68259556ad). I have discovered it has been unavailable from Chrysler/Jeep for over 2 years. I read where this is a dispute between Chrysler/Jeep and their supplier of the part. I feel it dangerous not to have my abs system, and it seems the manufacturer is doing nothing to make the part available. This needs to change.

42 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2025

Abs control module malfunction. Replacement part not available from dealership or 3rd party supplier, with item on continuous backorder. Abs and traction control lights permanently on whilst engine running. Potential safety concern across model nationwide?.

44 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2025

Abs module is failing (confirmed by repair shop) and needs replacement, and abs light had illuminated. After finding out the Dodge/Jeep has discontinued manufacture of this part that is in every 2012-2020 Wrangler, this poses a very serious safety concern as no replacement part is available. Possibility of purchasing a used one that ultimately will have the same result as the original one that was in the vehicle. A recall needs to be made before this becomes a major issue.

45 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2025

Brakes are sticking causing extreme heat and damage to pads, rotors and calipers and I'm afraid there is a fire hazard as well. The brake also occasionally engage during acceleration at around 45 mph and cause a severe wobble that could also be a safety issue as the vehicle becomes hard to control. Dealership claimed the problem was a single brake line that was replaced, but the problem is still occurring and now they claim it is a second brake line but my mechanic assures me it is a faulty abs module and the online reports indicate this is a real problem with Jeep Wranglers.

46 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2025

Abs module needs replacement. Impossible to find one in stock. Dealership claims it’s on back order for a year.

47 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2025

Abs control module cannot get the part so I would think this would be a safety issue because abs is not working. I know alot of other people who have a Jeep have the same proplem my part has been on back order for 4 months now. So I'm concerned about not having abs thank you.

The abs control module has malfunctioned which lead to the abs, traction control, and parking brake light coming on while driving. This is a safety concern due to a malfunction with these systems. These systems are meant to help control the vehicle when either sliding or braking quickly. An obd scan tool was used, which read the code c2200 to confirm the malfunction.

50 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2025

The abs module is reporting a c2200 error indicating replacement of the module and it seems to be a systemic problem with this module. Chrysler has the part backordered and I understand people have been waiting over a year to get one. I hope you can put pressure on Jeep to get these parts out or issue a recall.

53 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/12/2024

This vehicle along with many others Jeep Wranglers have an issue with the abs control module. It has a code for internal processor fault. Some days the vehicle is fine and others it acts up and it won’t shift gears or the abs system activates by itself or the speedometer doesn’t work. This has been going on for almost a year now because there is no parts aviable to fix it. The dealer keeps saying it’s in engineering review but they been saying that for almost a year now. That’s how long mine has been acting up. My wife won’t even drive it with the kids in the car because she doesn’t know when it is going to act up. Luckly I only work 5 miles from my house so I’ve been driving it. If they know there’s an issue with these modules they should be doing something faster to fix it or there should be a recall. Something needs to be done.

54 Service Brakes problem

My Jeep has a failed abs module, which mopar fully knows was a factory defect. They have stopped making the part and now we have dangerous, junk vehicles with no fix.

55 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2024

In December of 2024, my Jeep felt like a ghost was pressing my brakes. It got worse over time despite any troubleshooting we did and replacing sensors did not work. It went inot limp mode and would not drive out of second gear. Took it to my mechanic to find there is a national issue and back order problem with all abs modules for mopar/Jeep. I have read many Jeep forums online and this issue started in 2020. As of now since January there is no true eta on the replacement part. My Jeep sits while paying for it and unable to repair. We sought a company to try to rebuild the old one and they can't either since the replacement chips are back ordered as well. Luckily I noticed the issue while driving slow on a dirt road, however, this issue could have pulled the vehicle into oncoming traffic or off the side of the road. Jeep has not issued a recall or any help for the ones that are not inoperable. Someone needs to step up and take responsibility for this issue. There are thousands of people involved from what I have read. Please help!.

56 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2024

December 2024 the abs module failed on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Dropped it off at the mechanic and it is now may 2025 with no help from the manufacturer. This is a severe safety issue with the brakes locking up and causing the Jeep to not be functionable. I keep seeing recalls for other years makes and models. I need someone to help with a recall on my Jeep's abs module and to get a solustion to get my Jeep back functioning safely again. I can not drive it at this moment because of this issue.

57 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2024

Brake line brackets are rusting on interior on bracket at higher rate than rest of bracket. This design does not allow for clearance of the brake line and is a failure point. This is causing the brake lines to compress and brakes to fail. Vehicle has 65k miles and no other issues this is rejected by chryslers warranty division.

58 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/17/2024

Abs and traction control lights recently started coming on upon starting the vehicle. This morning, I took to repair shop and had brakes checked. I was told nothing was wrong, that brake pads look good, brake fluid level is good. When I returned home, I checked the nthsa website to check for recalls on these modules. Saw another complaint regarding the exact same thing I am experiencing. That person stated that the dealership indicated that no fix is available as yet due to a supposed redesign of these components. So now what? I have no choice but to drive a vehicle that has abs and traction control safety systems that are unavailable. While on the site, I also checked for recalls and found 5 recalls for which I was never notified, including air bag non-deployment. Great. I want to get rid of this vehicle, but alas, interest rates make it impossible.

59 Service Brakes problem

Loss of abs, traction control.

60 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2024

Abs and traction control lights came on. Took to dealership in July and told the abs control unit was faulty. Dealership ordered part with expected delivery on 8/12/2024. Went to dealership and was told part was in redesign with no real date for availability. Now I have a vehicle without abs, traction control, four wheel drive, or cruise control with no date for a fix. The abs and traction control are safety systems that are unavailable.

62 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2024

"Jeep death wobble" - I was informed by my mechanic that the automatic braking system module will need to be replaced. This was after numerous attempts to fix what is being referred to online as the Jeep death wobble online - widespread complaints online and on Jeep forums. Previous attempts to resolve this issue included alignment, new pads, brake pads, new brake rotors, 4 new tires. Despite all of this expense ($2k +) the Jeep continued to wobble erratically and unsafely at around 44 mph because the brakes are engaging or partially engaging. The temperature of the brakes and rims exceeded the range of the brake temperature sensor my mechanic used so he cautioned the car could vehicle could catch on fire if driven more than a short distance. The abs module is on back order for months so I am out of luck to fix the vehicle. Jeep claims this is only a supply chain issue but based on what I see as widespread problems, it seems to also be a demand issue - this is happening to many other drivers and should be a safety concern for instability (hence the name death wobble) if not also for fires.

63 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2024

The Jeep has an abs module that went bad. I have been waiting months- perhaps over a year, and there is still no estimate on the part coming in. It is an essential part, one with no generic replacement. It is illegal for Jeep to just leave all of us hanging.

64 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2024

On July 19, 2024, my abs and trac control light (anti-lock brake light) came on. I took my vehicle in to the myrtle beach Jeep dealership in south carolina and after a complete checki was informed that c2200-ans module internal will require replacement and the part was currently being re-engineered and was on backorder for at least thirty days. When even tried calling other dealerships and was told that they are having the same problem. On August 27, 2024 I called and spoke with my Jeep service advisor (jennie jo, 843-448-1191) and was told that the abs module is still be re-engineered and will not be available for another thirty days or longer. I saw on-line that numerous Jeep owners are having this serious problem with no relief. There has been no-recall and we cannot drive our vehicle do to the safety risk. I do not know why Jeep is not providing some relief or alternative to customer. I have never experience this type of situation. The dealerships are waiting on Jeep to provide the part and the part is not cheap, over $800 dollars to replace. Jeep needs to inform customer that this is a major safety issue and conduct a mass recall of these other Jeeps. We need help.

65 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2024

The warning lights indicating a problem with abs/traction system. Vehicle taken to wallace Jeep on [xxx] and diagnosed as "abs module internal failure". Service manager advised the module was unavailable for several months with mopar indicating the "part was on hold until engineering review was complete" and had been that way for several months with numerous extensions and no definitive available date and they were unable to order one for my vehicle with 28 already on order. Living in south florida where it rains almost daily, driving without operable abs and traction assist for several months now with no idea when parts available is very hazardous. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

66 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/19/2024

My first issue is my windshield wiper fluid only works or comes out once every couple days. My 2nd issue is my tpm system has been blinking and does not show the pressure on very hot days. Both issues have been going on for over a year. 3rd issue is I can no longer use the am/fm radio. 4th issue is my brakes went out due to a faulty rear passenger side brake hose in March. Over the past 2 weeks something has been wrong with using my brakes. Today I just found out both front brake hoses are defective. Due to these defective hoses, my rotors also need to be replaced. My automotive mechanic said this is very common. My car only has 54k miles on it. I feel like these issues should not be happening on a car that only has 54k miles on it. I feel like many children are in danger because of these hoses being defective. What if a parent has this happen and they are unable to stop on the interstate or anywhere really. I almost wrecked when my brakes went out in March, but luckily I was able to stop before hitting anything. The car behind me almost hit me as well. Can you please investigate these issues as soon as possible before anyone gets seriously hurt. Thank you.

The abs warning lights come on and go off intermittently. Occasionally when I brake I can feel the brake pedal shudder. This problem has occurred at various speeds from 5mph to freeway driving at 65mph. This problem has been happening for several years but only occasionally. I would estimate it started at about 30,000 miles only occasionally and started more frequently about 50,000 miles. We love our Jeep and are diligent about maintenance. Now it is almost constant. I have taken it to a trusted independent mechanic who could not detect the problem over the past 2 years because it didn’t happen while in the shop. We have had a brake job done and that has not corrected the problem. We took it to get hoses replaced yesterday and got a call from our mechanic stating that the abs warning system went on for them and they were able to detect a faulty sensor and will replace it. This most recent incident happened when moving vehicle to lift for repairs of heater hoses. The date is 5/24/2024. We have experienced similar and exact problems as other owners complained except have not taken our vehicle to the dealer. Seems it’s about time something be done by Jeep.
