7 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 05/01/2025

The abs, trac control & brake lights are all illuminated on the dashboard. I took it to have a professional check it out. It turns out the abs modulator is faulty, causing my Jeep to not have abs, or traction control. This is a safety hazard as the Jeep is not known for its great handling during any emergency braking situation. Here's the worst part. Jeep has known about this for over a year without any solutions to fix it. Why haven't they been held to the standards? didn't the government bale them out before? this is a serius safety feature and Jeep needs to do something about this, ASAP.

8 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 04/19/2025

Was driving to work and the car failed to let me know I was going to hit something and I swerved into another lane creating a crash into a telephone pole and then into a pond/swamp area. The airbags did not deploy and I was going about 40 mph I suffered neck back and bruises to my arms. I am suffering servers neck pain. The car filled with water. The car did say it detected a crash but no air bags deployed after the telephone being straight in the middle. The car was totaled. Nothing appeared. No warning signs. I believe the car has been taken to salvage. If I had the air bags go off I would not have been hurt as bad with my neck back and arm pain. It was thrown violently.

9 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

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.

10 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 02/21/2025

I have a 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe rubicon. My vehicle has been recalled three times for updates. I have had one recall done for the defroster due to the faulty software that can cause reduced visibility increasing a risk of a crash. The second one was for risk of fire from a faulty high voltage battery driving or parked. The third recall call was to update software for the high voltage battery in which doing so caused my vehicle not to fully charge and to lose power when driving and not be able to start for hours at a time. I now have brought my vehicle back to the Jeep service center for a diagnostic test and it was found that the high voltage battery pack is faulty in which Jeep has said they will put a new battery in once approved from Chrysler. Jeep has not been able to be able to fix the problem with hybrid battery packs possibly catching on fire or exploding and the new one I'd be getting would risk the same problems possibly injuring or killing myself or any passengers I might have in the vehicle. Jeep is not able to get to the root of the cause of why these high volt battery can go on fire even when they are not in use causing possible property damage to my home or neighbors. I am told in the recall to park my vehicle away from properties and other cars which is impossible to do. I hope you take this serious matter into consideration that Jeep corporation must find a solution for this nationwide problem and for people on the road.

11 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 01/09/2025

I was driving in the middle lane on i96 west when the dashboard lite up fully every light alerting me of every possible thing that needs attention known to man. This isn’t the first time this has happened but it is was the first time on the highway. I attempted to move the steering wheel which wasn’t working-I’m guessing the power steering wasn’t working, I slowly moved to the far right lane and managed to exit the freeway actually “‘manhandling” the steering wheel to make the vehicle turn in either direction. Needless to say I was beyond scared of what was gonna happen next. I made it to a grocery store parking lot and called for towing back to the dealer. This vehicle was just at the dealer the previous week for the dashboard lighting up in the same way but I didn’t drive it anywhere since I couldn’t turn the wheel that time either. The dealer told me it was a fluke and sent me on my way. This vehicle is two yrs old and has only been serviced by the dealer for oil changes and tire rotations. After doing some research, I’ve read that other owners of Jeep Wranglers have had similar problems going as far back as 2018! I can’t possibly be the only to report this issue. If I lost control of the vehicle due to power steering issues and sensor/computer failures what would happen to me? would I be dead? would I kill other people on the road? how would I ever be able to prove this is the vehicle and not me? this is an issue that needs to be looked at deeper. My vehicle is still at the dealership. It’s only two yrs old and has 40,000 miles. I need someone to look into this problem before something horrible happens to someone. Unfortunately my daughter also has a Jeep Wrangler and I hope she can stay calm if something like this happens to her on the freeway.

12 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

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!.

14 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 10/03/2024

While driving at 55 mph the brake light, service abs system, check engine light, service 4wd, service transmission, loss of power steering, and engine cooling fan ran very fast. I was lucky to pull off the road and put the vehicle in park. The 4 way flashers would blink erratically. Engine still running wouldn't come out of park. I turned the vehicle off. L let it set a few minutes. I then restarted the vehicle and it shifted into gear and drove home with the check engine light on. The next day it had no check engine light.

15 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 10/01/2024

My dash lights went crazy while driving. I couldn't get the vehicle into the correct gear ( automatic transmission) I shut off waited then restarted drove home. After having the codes scaned it shows c2200 code ( faulty brake abs module) called dealer they had none to sell or buy and told me no time was given to them when or if it would be available. I asked them what's the solution to using my vehicle safely then park it and don't drive it. . Since then I've found thousands of people just like my situation. How can you build a vehicle and be unable to supply the public with replacement parts to operate as intended and not have a recall or offer a solution to trade off said vehicle. It's definitely a safety issue when a100,000 + owners have the exact same issue and no help in sight.

16 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

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.

17 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

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.

18 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

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.

19 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/10/2024

Jeep Wrangler jk model with abs issue. I had the "brake" "abs" and "traction control" light come on my dash. I took my Jeep to the dealership to diagnose the problem and have it resolved. I was told the "abs control module" had a c2200 code that stated internal fault with the abs control module. I had the dealership order one and I paid for it so I can make sure my family is safe driving the Jeep. I was informed by the dealership that the part was on back order and there was no timeline on replenishing off stock. The part was on "engineering hold" and would not be available anytime soon. The dealership gave my Jeep back to me and told me since it was the internal electrical part of the abs control that I would be safe in driving my Jeep without this safety system. I have read multiple forms online stating others are having the same issue across the USA.

21 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/29/2023

Driving in parking lot, as I went to turn into a spot, my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe suddenly accelerated as if I had floored the gas. Unintentional acceleration continued as I applied and pumped the brakes. The Jeep hit a concrete and metal pole in the lot, and continued to try to accelerate, crawling up the pole until the engine was shut off.

22 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/02/2023

The abs pump module on Jeep Wranglers are not working and stellantis/wrangler has stopped making replacement parts. If you look on Wranglerforum. Com you can see that this is a nationwide issue and impacts Wrangler models spanning over several years (so far I've seen from 2014-2019). I've been trying to get the part for over a year to no avail. Also, the part is tied to the vehicle's VIN number, so you cannot use one from another Jeep (for example one from a junk yard). The safety issue is that the automatic braking system does not work properly. My Jeep also fishtails when driving in the rain. There are warning lights on the dash, which come on and off randomly. Mine do not stay on permanently. Initially, I tried to get this part replaced at a firestone in CA, and then tried again at a mechanic in TX. Both told me the same thing, that the part is unavailable, no longer being made and that it is a national issue. A recall has not been issued either.

23 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/26/2023

My 2022 4xe rubicon has been at the shop for 60 days now for slamming in to a dead stop while driving over 8 -18 mph. This happened 4 times early in the morning trying to drive to work. The dealership towed it in that morning, but failed to look at it for over 2 weeks. - they thought it was just in for regular maintenance. - during this time multiple warning lights were on (cel and etc, etc) . To date, they can not recreate this frightening situation or pull up any codes. I could have killed somebody, had I made it to a busy road. I had the 22v-865 recall done in Feb 2023, which clearly did not work. Chrysler's involvement has been useless, the latest safety recall report I read (dated 7/13/23) indicates they cannot find the "root cause', they are attempting update software that will change "fail safe from shut off to limp home" but state in this report that there is still no resolution, and is still under investigation. I purchased my 4xe August 27, 2022, fca knowing they manufactured the 2. 0l phev engine, issued a stop -sale notice in December 2022 "in order to control and avoid the damage and emergency situations on the us roads. '" not a stop drive notice. -other then this scary problem, I have form problems, and it throwing itself into autopark while in reverse. (going less then 3 mph) - how is this not being investigated, . . . How is it that there are no codes or replicate the problems.

24 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/01/2023

Abs, traction control, and brake lights have been on for more than a year. I have taken it to Jeep dealership here in jacksonville, FL and they have continually tried to order the part from Jeep, but are told that the part is. Not available at this time. I called Jeep directly and have been told "part stock is under quarantine pending quality / engineering review and inspection. Working to obtain timing on resolve to predict allocation and shipment to dlr to fulfill no firm eta to provide at this time. Pending response from splr / pkg working to improve. " which is not really an answer. My abs does not work, and my car cannot be put into cruise control mode without this part being replaced. I feel that my car is not safe without abs and traction control functioning properly. Part in question 68259556ad module.

25 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler

26 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler

27 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2020 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 01/28/2023

I was driving on the highway merging on a bridge before entering a tunnel, there was a car in from of me that was rolling slow. My forward collision warning did not go off when the car was in front of me but when the car was about 3-4 car lengths away and was driving away the warning went off and the emergency automatic brake engaged and there was nothing in front of me. I was almost rear ended and could not get my Jeep to move. The automatic brake disengaged and I was then able to drive normally.

28 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 10/04/2022

While stopped at a light on a busy highway I heard a loud sound similar to the automatic emergency braking system engaging. When the light changed the vehicle would not move. I tried turning it off and then back on again with no luck. The dash displayed the message "service charging system" and then ultimately illuminated an icon for the 12v battery and the charging system. I wound up having the vehicle towed to a local dealer where it currently remains waiting to be repaired. My biggest fear here is that there was no way to move the vehicle, some type of limp mode would be a much better solution so at least I could have moved out of traffic.

29 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 07/21/2022

Driving at 50 mph on high-speed concrete highway during a thunderstorm, my abs and traction control lights came on and stayed on for a few minutes. In those few minutes, my car started slowly fish-tailing, so I pulled on to the side of the interstate. I turned off the engine completely and restarted, as well as other resets, to try to turn the abs and traction control lights off. I started on to the highway again and got up to 50 mph again with both lights still on. Again, my vehicle started shifting in the lane, so I pulled off the highway again and turned the car completely off. After a few more minutes, I restarted the vehicle engine, both lights remained on, and I got on to an asphalt surface for the remainder of my trip. Within half a mile, both lights turned off and the vehicle felt more secure on the road way. For the remainder of my drive, both lights remained off, but I did go through at least 4 standing puddles of water with no other issues with traction.

30 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2015 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/21/2022

Abs brake light and traction light will randomly turn on and cause the car to automatically brake while driving in traffic. This almost caused me to be rear ended by the car behind me.

31 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 06/13/2022

In the middle of the intersection, the power steering turned off and the steering wheel locked. I could not move the steering. All dashboard lights came on as well as the emergency brakes. The gear shift also locked and refused to shift into any toner gear. The vehicle was completely disabled and would not restart. This is the 5 time this has happened. I took it to get serviced at my local Jeep Chrysler Dodge dealership and I am still receiving the same issue.

32 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2017 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 03/10/2022

Dtcs for left and right rear wheel sensors. Wiring was open on sensors and caused the speed sensors to not read properly at times 3. 00. The sensors were replaced at mac haik. 3 other Jeeps had the same issue the same day. Abs and traction control lights on dash came on before the sensors were replaced and applying gas did nothing. My Jeep was automatically applying my breaks even when I went 5 mph.
