3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2025

Shortly after starting the vehicle and entering roadway, the power steering failed and shortly following an error came on regarding the abs system. I was able to pull the vehicle over safely, restart and the issue seemed resolved in that use. Next day, shortly after starting vehicle, same errors occurred, but self corrected. The day after that, shortly after starting the vehicle, all systems on the front panel cycled through several error codes, when attempting to shut the vehicle off to restart it, the vehicle would not shut off. Using the standard transmission, I was able to create a stall situation, but the vehicle's electrical would not shut off. After removing the key fab, the electrical system kept activating power systems, even turning on the windshield wipers when the control was in the off position. After 20 minutes and several attempts I was finally able to get the system to completely shut off.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/06/2025

While driving I received random warnings on the dashboard: airbag failure, power steering failure, shift control failure, abs failure. After the flashing of all those warning, I lost the power steering and the ability to shift from drive to neutral. My inability to steer the car and loss of speed put my passengers and myself at risk and the safety of cars driving on the opposite lane at risk as I was able only to make very wide turns. I took the car to the dealer and after about two weeks the mechanic narrowed down the problem to a failure of the abs module and told me that that part is on backorder nation wide and may take over 3 months to come. I was advised to not drive the car or to drive at my own risk.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/18/2025

Calibers keep locking up making the brake system go bad. I had my calibers replace, which is weird because they almost never go bad. My Jeep has only 60k miles on it. Now I'm back at the dealership getting them replace 200 miles later. This needs to be inspected.

7 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2025

Abs module has failed, according to dealership. The car has been in the service department at the dealership four times now in the past month. All of the warning lights go on, the car drives sluggishly, and I am told the car is undrivable due to the potential loss of brakes. Apparently there is a huge backorder of this part, but I purchased a max care extended service warranty and I feel that the dealership needs to make good on this. It's becoming a breech of contract.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/13/2025

Vehicle is inoperable. Dealer says it is a bad abs module. 80+ codes were thrown, dashboard lights flickering on and off. Right brakes locked up on mechanic test drive. All abs functionality failed. The part is not being manufactured at this time. I have been told that there is no date when to expect the part's availability. This seems to be a common issue that should be recalled.

9 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2024

Bad abs module part is not being produced in re-enegineering since 2023 Jeep has all warning lights on will go into limp mode speedometer stops working braking distance is increased will not shift into gear no time line on remedy or help from Jeep.

10 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2024

The vehicle started to have braking issues where the brakes would sometimes apply both front brakes or one one front brake causing the vehicle to swerve erratically when braking. Sometimes the right front brake would also stay applied for extended periods of time causing the vehicle to pull hard and the braking system to overheat so hot that I burned my fingers on the tire rim after parking the vehicle and inspecting. The Jeep has been at the dealership for repairs for over 7 months under warranty and they don't know how to fix the vehicle and are not willing to replace it! this is a massive safety concern that should make everyone think twice before buying a Jeep when the brand wont even take care of there customers!.

11 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/26/2024

Abs module went out in July of 2024, after being replaced in February 2024. Jeep does not have any of the parts available, the same part was recalled for the grand cherokee and ram 1500. My Jeep has been unable to drive since the part malfunctioned.

12 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2024

So driving about 50-55mph, the dash lights lite up like a christmas tree. Everything from abs, shifter lock, sway bar, airbags, traction control, aux battery and some other things that I can't remember. Engine lost power, power steering and unable to shift out of park. I took to my local dealer, I didn't buy it from them, and they diagnsoed the issue of a faulty abs module. This module has been in the stage of "engineering" for over a year. I spent $900 on one abs module that was available out of 5 in the us from another dealer and to get 20 minutes down the road only to have it happen again. The vehicle was at the dealer for 5 weeks. The new part was to become available on may20th. Two days ago the service manager called to tell me that they pushed the date to Aug 20th. This will be almost 2 years in this process with this part. The manager then proceeded to tell me it will probably be longer as Jeep went to a new vendor and it is redoing the part. I know of hundreds of other owners in the same boat. Jeep star techs say they can't diagnose past this part so I am paying on a big paper weight since November 23. I have started a case with Jeep customer care only for them to say they can't do anything financially or anything other than help expedite the issue. This is a lost cause as it is still being developed 2 years later. My gm of the dealership said he has 4-5 others at his lot in the same boat and a number of other owners with vehicles like myself at the house. I feel the need for someone to put pressure on the vendor to help with getting a recall on this situation.

13 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2022

While driving my vehicle on a major highway several lights came on and I was notified that the antilock break system had been disengaged while driving. I was terrified driving this vehicle down a major highway but manage to make it home after pulling over several times when the vehicle seamed loose control. Once the vehicle was started the next day the following malfunction were emailed to me. The vehicle would not turn off for several hours, windshield wipers were running while in the off position, and the screen indicated that the vehicle was a rubicon, despite it being a sahara. It was incredibly alarming not being able to turn this vehicle off after several attempts. The vehicle eventually turned off but upon restarting the vehicle the malfunctions would occur in addition to not being able to shift gears. 2) powertrain malfunction indicator light electronic throttle control (1) brakes & suspension antilock brake system (1) safety air bags.

15 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2022

Driving my vehicle and around 20,000 miles had all lights come on. Lost power steering wind shield wipers randomly going off and then it goes away once powering off. I took it to my dealer and they worked on it and said nothing was wrong. A week later it happened again. This time the vehicle wouldnt turn back on for about 30 minutes. Going threw a round a bout I will randomly lose all control and almost crash. I have had at least 4 or 5 close calls do to no power steering and lose of traction control. No dealer or mechanic can figure it out. It is throwing 37 codes. Hundreds of people on these Jeep forums have had the same issue for the same year. No one can figure it out. Several have crashed. My wife has almost died when she lost traction control in a blizzard. It has been months and now my vehicle is up to 42000 miles and its sitting there because now I'm to scared to drive it. It gets stuck in park and randomly powers down. This is a serious safety hazard and someone is going to get killed from a crash if this isn't addressed. All codes are related to abs and can bus but it has only fixed about 5% of the vehicles when they replace those parts. Come inspect it yourself I am available any time!!!.

16 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2022

The dash glitches and lights up all of the warning lights, speed and fuel goes up and down then the engine idles high despite not shifting/touching anything. Then it it completely locked up and cannot shift out of park. If it sits for a while occasionally it will start and only have check engine light on and allow you to shift to drive however while driving I have had the entire dash light up and speedometer/rpms going up and down causing it to run higher. It has been back to the dealer twice now for same issue that was supposedly fixed. It says service shifter, my abs are not working and electronic stability control needs service amongst other things. It is very scary when this has happened while driving on the highway with my children in the car and the fact I never know if I will be able to make it to or from work/picking up kids or if I will be stuck in drive/have engine shut off while driving. This has happened more than once in my 3 weeks of purchasing this vehicle and I am scared for our safety. I have had the codes read prior to going to the dealership and it says multiple things are malfuntioning.

17 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2022

When pressing on the breaks , the brakes required moderate amount of force to push in order for the vehicle to come to a complete stop or to yield, there is a loud hissing , leaking sound that is also heard from under the hood. This noise does not seem to go away even after taking it back to dealership to get it diagnosed, the brakes remain a little hard to press on as well. The dealership said it was a vacuum booster brake that was wearing out so they switched it but the noise remains the same and so does the forge to push down on the brakes . This is a dangerous factor to be dealing with as the brakes are something that is used constant in a vehicle to idle your car or to stop. According to the dealership this complaint is very common amongs other Jeep owners about the brake not functioning 100%, there are no warning signs or lights that ever popped up as well . Please help fix this can cause death if brakes fail at some point while I own the Jeep .

18 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2020

It has happened several times since we got the vehicle. There are times we are on the freeway and we press the gas but the car slows down and makes a horrible sound then after a little while we wiggle the shift handle and move it around to make it go. It has been very scary. Also the car has turned off when stopped at red light. We called the dealership and they just turned off the auto start. They told us we do not have extended warranty and that was it. Also the steering wheel gets locked up. We just pray that nothing happens to us. Could you advice please.

19 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2020

While drive for 30 minutes the Jeep has a complete malfunction with all electrical components and was unable to shut off engine, and abs, power steering, gear shifter, electrical gauges, auto start stop engine shut off and navigation system. Jeep only has 3800 miles on it. My family of 5 were all in the vehicle on the freeway when the Jeep electrical system started shutting off and on. We pulled into our street and the Jeep would not shift gears or turn off the engine. This put us in an unsafe position not know if the vehicle was going loose control. I pulled over but the Jeep would not shift and ended up blocking traffic. We felt unsafe and any speed, very scary for our family.

20 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2019

My power steering has completely locked up multiple times while driving on freeways, highways, and residential streets. This issue has occurred in all types of weather, including rainy days and dry days, so that doesn't seem to have any sort of impact on the issue. When the power steering locks up the vehicle throws around 50 codes, which the dealership has reset more than once. Each time the steering locks up I have to slam on my breaks and turn my car on and off multiple times until the steering starts working again. I have taken my Jeep to the dealership twice - on 11/30/2019 and today (12/29/2019) - and have called many, many times trying to get this issue resolved. No one seems to care or know how to solve the problem. I picked my Jeep up from the dealership for the second time earlier today, and my steering completely locked up again after driving it 20 miles. This time not only did the steering completely lock up, but the breaks were malfunctioning as well. Each time I take my Jeep to the dealership they claim that the issue is related to the sway bar disconnect, which makes no sense. Based on my research there and many, many stock 2019 Wranglers that are having the exact same issue. If this issue isn't taken care of with a sense of urgency, someone is going to end up losing their life. I am tired of going to the dealership and being pushed out the door each time being told that the issue is fixed when it clearly isn't. What is it going to take for this issue to get resolved?.

23 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2019

I recently rented a 2019 Jeep Wrangler from avis at mccarran airport in las vegas. The avis vehicle number was 90380010. The rental agreement number was 420140943. The vehicle had an aftermarket piece of electronic equipment installed by avis under the driver side dashboard, probably a gps device of some kind. The device was plugged into the vehicle's electrical system on the left hand wall of the passenger compartment, with a cord about 12-18 inches long stretched out under the dashboard. The device was very poorly installed. While I was driving, the device dropped out from behind the dashboard, and the cord wrapped itself around the brake pedal, with the device itself falling immediately behind the pedal. The actual device was about 2 inches by 3 inches. It blocked the brake pedal, reducing available braking by 80 percent. Fortunately, I was traveling at a slow speed on a quiet street and was able to bring the car to a halt.
