Brake Sensor Problems of Jeep Wrangler

My dash keeps loosing power and when it does I have no breaks or lights. Everything drops to zero and then it will just jump back up again. My absolute, brakes,battery, seatbelt sensors keep going on and off. This happens moving and in park. Occasionally it won't start either. I have had the battery, alternator and starter tested. I was told there was a recall when getting it checked and inspection but upon calling the readership I was told no.

Abs and traction sensors come on when turning left. Abs sometimes deploys when these lights are on when braking. Shouldn't be happening in a vehicle that is 3 years old. I am hearing that this is a common problem in Jeep Wranglers from this time period.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked and came to an abrupt stop without warning. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and operated as intended. The vehicle was taken to Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram fiat crestview (5200 s ferdon blvd, crestview, FL 32536) where she was informed that the driver's and passenger's side rear brake sensors malfunctioned.

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.

Last Friday afternoon (12/13/19) I had a significant brake malfunction where I believe the abs system falsely thought a wheel was locked up and released the brakes or made them much less effective during a normal stop (my interpretation of what happened � especially after some online research). I was travelling at approx. 45 mph and the light ahead turned yellow and I pressed the brakes to stop. The brakes were ineffective, and I realized I was not going to be able to stop in time before entering the intersection. I decided to run the light and pull over on the shoulder immediately. I then proceeded to drive again in a slow fashion and apply the brakes. I had the same ineffective response. I tried a third time with the same results. I believe the abs was being engaged falsely. I was alone in the vehicle and no cars were in front of me. I am certain that if I was on a crowded major highway and I was had to stop I would have crashed � unnecessarily because there was no need for the abs to engage. The above incident occurred approx. 3 hours away from my house in the vicinity of davenport. I brought the Jeep to posner Jeep who checked the vehicle and re-initialized the abs and said they didn't find any problem. I bought the Jeep in 2015 from arrigo Dodge in tamarac and have had several issues with the abs system and sensors. I strongly feel that the issue can happen again and can cause accidents and possibly deaths if not dealt with appropriately.

Took 2016 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon hard rock edition in for a recall repair of the airbag deployment sensor. Dealership wanted $50 to do the work because I had a winch installed. My Jeep hard rock edition was designed at the factory to receive this specific brand and model of winch so I refused to pay. I contacted Jeep by phone and asked them to intervene. They refused. I told the dealer I was leaving without having it fixed and my estate would sue them if I was killed in an accident and then he agreed to fix it free. They claimed they fixed it but when I drove off I immediately saw a warning message saying the right front turn signal lamp was out. I made u turn and went right back. They said they needed to order a part. I left. Then my battery drained down. I contacted Jeep and asked them to intervene. When I called to make another appointment to get the recall done right the dealership claimed they needed to order a part. I found out they did the recall repair by soldering wires. 2+ hours later they said all it needed was a bulb. I asked if they had to order bulbs. They said they stock them and denied ever telling me they needed to order a part. They admitted there was still an electrical problem but said that could have been the result of electrical modifications I had made and wanted me to pay them to troubleshoot it. The winch was the only electrical modification and it was installed almost 1 year before I took the Jeep in and I never had any problems before they did the recall work nor did they have any trouble starting it or see any warning messages when I took it in fir the recall in late August. Within 2 miles of driving I noticed the headlights flickering. Within 3 miles all the warning lights on the dash started wildly going off an on randomly and speedometer was going back and forth. They did not properly make the airbag sensor repair.

Vehicle has exhibited multiple occurrences of rapid acceleration once the brake pedal is released. While driving down the road, the engine light and the engine controller light will suddenly come on and the vehicle will seem to loose power. Applying the break to slow the vehicle does not seem to help as the vehicle will begin to accelerate back up to driving speed once the brake pedal is released (almost like when the cruise control renegades. This has happened multiple times. The vehicle was take to the Jeep dealer where're they reset the code several times and relearned the pedal position sensor with a firmware reboot. This has not fixed the issue and Jeep is not able to identify the cause. This problem can cause an accident as the vehicle has suddenly accelerated up to 30-35 mph when turning into parking lots or away from stop signs. This also happens when in putting the vehicle in reverse.

The abs, stability control and traction lights keep going off and also disabling the speed control while driving. So far Jeep has replaced the abs sensors and the stability sensor twice. The car is being driven, usually going off on dry pavement. The Jeep also had the computer system shut down the vehicle with a security alert that need a computer update a few months prior.

While the vehicle was driven about 20mph, first on line to a traffic light and on about 20 t0 25 feet before the intersection and light was red, and when the brake was applied it did not stop and the vehicle kept moving and it was stopped by the emergency brake. A burning smell got inside the vehicle and people stopped yelling that the vehicle was on fire. When the hood was opened and the fire put out we notices that the fire started at the brakes pump sensor. It burned all the wiring around there to include plastic cover of left hand side wheel, the steering column rubber joint, sensors, the hood and other parts in that side.

Rear brakes on 2008 Wrangler unlimited wore completely out in 24,400 miles. The front brake pads were at 80% according to the Jeep dealer service tech. There was no underlying cause such as sticking calipers or slides according to the technician. The discs were scored and needed to be resurfaced. Although the end result was within tolerance, the surface of both rotors remained scored in several spots. After complaining to the manager they decided to replace both rear discs with new mopar discs. My fear is not identifying an underlying cause for the premature failure. With advanced design and computer driven sensors, there may be a safety issue yet to be identified. I've never had the need to replace rear brakes on a vehicle so soon and considering the condition of the front brake equipment, my suspicion is a system fault that may need to be identified. Please call me with any questions.
