This vehicle is not suitable for driving, it has suspension, alignment, brake and speed problems. I was about to have an accident, I was going down an avenue and suddenly the wheels stopped and the car began to move from one side to the other and I lost stability of the steering wheel and the car, putting my life and the lives of my family (my girlfriend and my mother) at risk, luckily I did not cause an accident because there was no car in the side lane . . . It is impossible to drive this car, the next day I took the car to a detailed inspection at a mechanical workshop specialized in Jeeps and indeed it has serious and serious problems with the car. There are images where the lights on the dashboard are on and the engine is also overheated . . . For this reason, I decided to return the car to the dealer and file the report as evidence of this defective car and dangers to driving . . .
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?.
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.
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.
I had someone cut me off on the highway, I went to honk my horn & it didn't work. I then also noticed that my steering wheel control buttons did not work, or light up either. Upon investigation I found out that those are all symptoms of the clockspring not working properly & needing replaced.
Abs modulator not working in Jeep. Warning lights on dash currently are: abs, traction control and brake light. Jeep dealer confirmed abs modulator is defective. Unable to replace/repair due to backordered item as of 11/24. Stated possibly not available until 2/25. Jeep will randomly not shift gears while driving, speedometer not working, gas pedal sticking occasionally, rough braking with brake pedal shaking when braking.

On thursdsy 5/13/2021 at approximately 5:15-5:20pm, I was dropping my daughter off to work and I got back on the road then through the u-turn to get back on the other side. I proceeded to enter the roadway initially about 10mph and all of a sudden, the Jeep accelerated to almost 80 mph and I smashed the braked and it would not stop at all. The rpm's were steady going up. I pulled up the emergency brake right before I almost rear ended the car in front of me at the light getting ready 6o go through the intersection. I was on the brake at the same time. Once the car finally came to a stop, the engine was still reved up. I put in park and turned the vehicle off with the ignition. I then restarted and was scared the rest of the way home. The vehicle was in motion when this happened. There was nothing under the brake. My floor mats were flush and flat and the acceleration was so scary. I feared for my life. I have not driven it since. I called the dealership and they told me to bring it in the next morning, Friday the 14th at 10 am but that theu would not be able to look at it until 7-10 days. I did not bring it as this was unacceptable. I will call back and speak with someone else for results. The tech even told me that this happened to his brother that also have a Jeep. There isn't a recall for this that I've found. Someone will lose their life because of this malfunction. This is a very serious safety hazard.
I was on a major city street behind a slow moving vehicle. I made a manuver to pass the vehicle in front of me and the car accererated on it's own. I could actually feel the gas pedal being pulled down (as my foot was still gently on the pedal). I immediately lifted my foot off the gas pedal. The car continued to accelerate. The car reached 36 mph quickly approaching another vehicle in front of me which now was stopped. I immediatley stepped on the brakes hard. The car stopped and the red warning light for the throttle position sensor lit on the dash. I am a car dealer and an experienced driver with professional driver training. I feel most people would have experienced an accident. I took the vehicle to my service department where we put the manufactuer diagnostic tool on the vehicle. We were able to download the report. I also took photos of the dash and reported to the factory service rep and field technical specialist.
2016 Jeep Wrangler sport with only 20,000 miles has, for second time in one year, a faulty esc system and it malfunctions causing the brake system to activate, loss of power, and sudden steering changes. Nissan brothers had supposedly fixed this issue the first time. . .
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.
Jeep was stationary waiting for light to change on city street. When light turned green I stepped on accelerator; while still pushing foot down on pedal the engine started to rev up to max rpms but Jeep was not moving forward. I was afraid the engine would keep revving and blow up. I instantly removed foot from gas and let Jeep roll; put on emergency flashing lights and turned (rolled off) to parking lot one block away and turned Jeep off. After a few minutes I restarted car and slowly drove the six blocks home. Took it to authorized Jeep dealer and the service department could find no error code, said that they test drove it and could find nothing wrong with the Jeep.
2 x now while driving my gas pedal excellerated after I took my foot off of the pedal and would not stop until I pulled the pedal up with my foot. First time I was on the highway at about 65 mph. The second time on a street at about 25 mph.
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The abs warning indicator illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 23,530.
Since I have had the chemical, the crude control will work rite along for a few weeks, then one day it won't turn on and I will have to push the button over 20 times to get it to work. The chemical was in motion while trying to do this on the highway. Also recently the sterio will no longer connect to bluetooth. Bluetooth will not work will driving or stationary.
