Brake Light On Problems of Jeep Wrangler

Abs light, anti-skid light and traction control light come on. Touched the brake slightly and Jeep went into a skid. My steering wheel wants to lock up, my brakes are trying to brake. Seems like a faulty abs wheel sensor and eveeyone is having this problem.

On my way to work on city street, slight curve in road, it was raining. Cruise control set at 50mph. I heard the chime and glanced at the dashboard. Cruise control light was out, abs light, anti-skid light and parking brake light were on. Touched the brake slightly and Jeep went into a skid. Luckily no one was next to me. Took it to my mechanic the next day and was told the abs module had failed and needed to be replaced. This vehicle has less than 38000 miles on it.

Abs unit failed. Yellow dashboard warning light illuminated. Red brake warning light was not illuminated. The brake pedal when pushed traveled to the floor. Front wheel brakes became completely inoperative as verified by jacking up the front wheels and testing. Rear brakes still operated, but minimally. Suspect the abs unit fails by sticking in a faulty bypass state that disables most of the braking capacity, instead of a fail-safe fault mode.

The speed sensor for the front brakes on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler failed and led to costly repairs. The brakes locked up so bad they stalled the Jeep when I let out the clutch. The Jeep literally slammed on it's own brakes in the middle of traffic without me having applied the brakes. The brake lights of course did not come on and I nearly had an accident. The repair cost $1200. The Jeep dealer told me "this is a common problem".

Anti lock brake module failed. Brake pedal would pulse on dry pavement even at speeds under 5 miles an hour but would fail to bring vehicle to a complete stop. Problem began as intermittent then would randomly go from pulsing but still stopping the vehicle to eventually the pedal going to the floor with no pulsing and no brakes whatsoever. Also, no brake warning light or antilock brake light. I kept the module and would be more than happy to send it to you for evaluation. Since I have replaced the module (last fall) I have had no further issues.

When turning I noticed that the vehicle started vibrating and the abs, esp, and traction control lights and also the brake light come on. My son drives this vehicle also and I am afraid the air bag is going to deploy.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 40 mph and depressing the brake pedal with force, the vehicle failed to slow down and the brake light illuminated. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake pedal sensor failed. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.

The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Wrangler. While driving approximately 20 mph, the brake light illuminated on the instrument panel and the brake pedal dropped to the floorboard abnormally. The contact stopped the vehicle on the shoulder of the road and added brake fluid to the braking system. In addition, the air bag waning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the technician stated there was a hole in the brake tube due to the steering shaft rubbing against the tube. The brake line would have to be replaced and the clock spring for the air bags was fractured and would also need replacing. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id numbers: 08v202000 (service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings) and 11v528000 (air bags:frontal) but was advised by the manufacturer that the VIN was not included in either recall. The brake line was repaired but the clock spring was not. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.

While turning into my driveway my 2007 Jeep Wrangler x (with 55000 miles) "chimed" and the air-bag , traction control, and anti-lock brake warning lights lit up. Upon investigsting the issue I found that this leaves the saftey systems inactive! a bad "clock spring" in the steering wheel is he cause of all the system failures. My vehicle is no longer covered under warranty, but I feel that this should still be covered by Jeep/Chrysler. This is a major safty concern or me and my family.

Brake light has been in forever, had checked, not an issue but. . . Began noticing on highway. Not so severe to have to stop to regain control. About a year ago iit happened at lower speeds, as few as 35mph, any uneven surface, bump, texture or level change sets it off. Tapping or use of the brakes. "death wobble" occurs. A slight tremor radiating from steering column then through the entire Jeep. So intense that it feels like the tires are turning sideways, maintaining control, steerin and braking extremely difficult. Regular braking does not help. Hars brake only. Haven't come to complete stop. I've always stopped, put back into park and turned it off. Thinking maybe some sort of reset may occur. It helps me to reset my own self anyways! very scary! especially if in a vendor curved part of roadway. . Brake light still on even after inspected (?) took into shop. Mechanic said ball joints needed replaced. Death wobble went away for a few weeks and it's back. Prior alignments~ only regular adjustments required. I tried to pay attention after this 'fix' and determined that braking (even just a tap) starts it and any surface change in the road older Jeeps had a simply fix, tightened a bolt on steering colum. My son is in training, did a visual inspection of the steering colum. Says seemed to me some extra play, nothing like a bolt loose but dark out, multiple components along column, unsure without a lengthier inspection. Nothing by sight. We stopped driving and took it in for inspection/replacement of front end balljoints. Tires have an unfamiliar pattern of wear. Using factory recommend tires, size and pressure. Very little off road. Mostly driven for in town/ highway driving. I hope this helps. Very very scary when this happens. Oh I've tried to outrun. Doesn't work. Lately I've shifted to 4thbeing and can usually regain control. .

I own 1. 5 month old 2007 Wrangler. I was pulling into a parking spot at a local business. I put my foot on the brake and car doesn't stop. I went up on the curb. I brake again. Doesn't stop. I turn the wheel so I wont go into the glass of the business. I hit their patio and brick wall. The car wont back up or move. I turn it off and on again,then it moves. The workers came out to make sure I was ok. I told them the brakes didnt work. I had no idea what was going on and I was terrified to drive my car. I call to have car towed to dealer. I look up online inside the business to see of any similar probs. All over internet there are recalls on brakes of my model,make,year vehicle. At dealer, I mention recall possibility and they have no idea" what I'm talking abt. And have "never heard of such a thing. . . " they were going to test drive" it. Why someone would want to do that when I just told them I had prob with brakes is beyond me. They say its "fine. "they tell me they are going to take off wheels and thoroughly check it. Hook it up to computer and run a few tests. See if it caught any codes. I say fine. Both people that I spoke with asked me if "any brake lights came on. . . Abs or any other right before it happened. "no idea. . . Didnt have time to check during incident. An hour later they come back and tell me "nothing is wrong" "no codes" that "they took for 2nd test drive and its fine. " but they are confident that I can drive it. Mileage on car the same as when I got there. I'm still terrified. I know something happened with my car. And I know that I could have killedsomeone. They told me that they looked up my VIN and no recalls. They told me to call cust service. I did. After getting my info,they told me that they would "get other parties involved. . . " and I should "contact the dealership tomorrow. I try the dealership the next day. No answer the 3 x I try. I call the main cust service line again. Was told"the dealership found nothing wrong. You need to contact your insurance comp to fix your car.
