Service Brakes Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 1

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, one of the brake calipers locked up, causing the vehicle to veer from side to side during acceleration. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic, where a technician diagnosed it with a seized brake caliper. Due to the constant dragging, the brake pads wore excessively and failed to slow the vehicle properly, extending the stopping distance. The brake parts were replaced, and the vehicle was repaired.

The left front brake line has failed and needed replacement on 2 occasions. The brake line gets a restriction that causes the vehicle to veer to the right under braking. It also is causing uneven rotor and caliper ware resulting in a high pitched squeal under load.

My abs module has failed with under 12,000 miles on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler jk. This is a known issue with the replacement module either unavailable or, what used to cost a few hundred dollars, now costing a few thousand dollars. Why is a car manufacturer permitted to produce a defective part critical to stopping a vehicle and then be rewarded handsomely for a repair to the issue it created? many Jeep owners I have encountered are choosing not to repair their vehicles and are on the road in vehicles without antilock brakes. Surely this is a significant safety issue that should be remedied at the manufacturer’s expense.

My abs control module is not functioning. The car does not stop properly in wet weather. . The traction is effected. The abs control module was inspected by a dealership. The control module is non communicative to the abs module. The brake light, abs light and the traction light are all on, all the time. I cannot get the vehicle inspected. . If rain is dangerous, the upcoming winter is going to be treacherous. . I am extremely concerned for my safety. I’m having a difficult time finding the part for the year of my vehicle and I can’t fix this problem with out mfr intervention. I wrote to the Jeep manufacturer in michigan for assistance in locating this part and have not heard back. My vehicle is not the only vehicle to have this problem and there should be a recall because the breaking system not functioning is a huge safety issue.

While driving my 2019 Jeep Wrangler, the vehicle suffered a major electronic/can-network failure. Service shifter, abs and esc warnings appeared, the wipers activated on their own, controls malfunctioned, and power-steering assistance failed while the vehicle was moving, making it extremely difficult to steer. My two young children were in the vehicle. Jeep dealer diagnostics showed widespread communication faults involving steering, abs/brake, transmission and other control modules. The dealer replaced the power-steering assembly and rf hub, but the problem remains. On the first drive after repair, the abs and esc warnings repeatedly flashed on and off at highway speed. Interior lights are also flickering. I am concerned another network failure could again disable steering assistance or compromise abs/braking-related safety systems and cause loss of vehicle control or a crash.

The abs module on many of these vehicles has a known fault. You can’t find replacement parts, even the Jeep dealership can’t get them. Many ppl are driving around with faulty modules, on a waiting list for parts. I’m one of those people. All has been fine until I was driving toward 228 business in angleton to turn towards walmart. I was going about 45-48 and went to brake to slow down for the stop sign. My brakes were soft instead of firm and it locked up and skid on me. I didn’t hit anything but had someone been behind me it could have been different. It scared me. Now I’m scared to drive it and have no fix for it.

Check engine, abs, service shifter suddenly pops up and the steering was hard to turn almost had an accident.

I took it in for the maine state inspection and it won't pass because the rotors have delaminated, the caliper is starting to shift up, and the brake hoses are going bad already. The service tech says this is a known issue with these vehicles. Unacceptable for a vehicle with 42k miles.

On Monday, xxx, my 2018 Jeep Wrangler jku had several errors displayed on the dashboard: abs, brake, and traction control failures. I took my vehicle to an auto repair shop and they diagnosed it as a faulty abs module. This part is on back-order as per discussion with local Jeep dealers in [xxx]. Stellantis confirms that this part is not available as it has been deemed a systematic failure. There is currently no solution from stellantis which is causing safety concerns and increased risk of operating my Jeep Wrangler. The error code is c2200: anti-lock brake module internal - stored. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

3 out of the 4 calipers have failed.

Abs, brake, and traction control lights on. A Jeep dealership was able to discern that the abs module is the cause and that part is on back order for months. In the meantime my vehicle is unfixable even if I were to find a used part from a donor vehicle.

Abs system module has failed and the manufacturer has it on indefinite backorder. I read reports of some customer waiting over 400 days for this part. It compromises the effectiveness of the antilock braking system. How do they get away with this?.

Abs module failed forcing Jeep into limp mode. The Jeep dealership said the part is on indefinite back order. C2200.

2018 Jeep wangler jk experienced a brake failure due to a rusted collapsed right front brake line. Vehicle is one owner with 29,855 miles at time of repair on 08/05/26. Repaired by independent service center. Garage kept for the first 6 of 8 years of ownership, never operated off road, and no accidents. Parked in a covered car port for last two years when not in use. This is a well maintained, daily driver vehicle driven by a 79 year old male.

During a routine maintenance visit, a pre-purchase/general inspection was performed on my 2017 Jeep Wrangler, which documented the front axle and differential housing as intact and in one piece. Subsequent to that inspection, while the vehicle was undergoing service, it was discovered that the front axle housing bracket on the driver’s side had fractured and separated from the frame mount. Upon inspection of the fractured surface, the break exhibits oxidation (rust) at the fracture point itself, indicating the crack had been forming and propagating over time rather than resulting from a single acute impact or event. This suggests a pre-existing metal fatigue or corrosion-related structural weakness in the front axle housing bracket assembly that was not visually detectable during a standard inspection prior to full separation. Given that this is a structural component connecting the front axle/differential to the vehicle frame, a full separation of this type could result in loss of vehicle control, particularly under steering or load stress, and poses a significant safety risk. The vehicle is approximately 9 years old with 90,000 miles, and this type of structural failure at this age/mileage is a concern for other owners of similar model year Wranglers. I am filing this report to make NHTSA aware of this failure mode in case it represents a broader pattern in 2017 (and potentially adjacent model year) Jeep Wranglers.

Abs pump and module combination is making brake calipers to not released. It’s been two times in 6 months my brakes are used up and calipers locked. Jeep knows this issue across its brand of vehicles but not called for a recall. Parts are also in back order that says lot of vehicles has issues. Confirmed with local dealership.

Abs module failure back order with no date of possible delivery.

I was driving our 2015 Jeep Wrangler on the highway probably going around 60mph and had a deer run in front of her and had to brake suddenly. The Jeep skidded and fish taled slightly before coming to a complete stop and I avoided hitting the deer. The abs system did not work. Ironically, the abs and traction control lights had come on occasionally but would then go off. It's hit or miss whether these lights come on when you start the vehicle. We took the Jeep to barnes automotive in westminster maryland and they diagnosed that the abs module (part 68259556ae) was bad and needed to be replaced. They said they tested it by clearing the error, but then after driving it around town, the error would appear again. They informed me that there is a national shortage of the part and they estimated there is a 90 day backorder. I can't wait 3 months to not drive the vehicle so they let me know just to be aware the vehicle will be ok to drive but to know that it doesn't have abs if I need to make any sudden stops. Sounds like a very common issue with Jeep Wranglers.

As I was driving a service electronic stability control came up on my dash and I lost control of the vehicle. The brakes did not work and it was hard to steer. I almost hit a vehicle and the Jeep kept rolling until it stopped. Then I received an alert that the brakes did system, anti lock brake system, and electronic stability system failure. This is very scary my vehicle is a lease and they say they are fixing it but I’m very scared I will lose control of my Jeep while I’m driving.

On 7/25/2026, the vehicle set dtc p1128 (closed loop fueling not achieved, bank 1) with a steady check engine light and no drivability symptoms. I cleared the code with an obd2 scanner. My wife had driven the vehicle to a local store and back earlier with no issues. Shortly afterward, with the vehicle loaded for a trip, she applied the brakes at the end of our driveway and the vehicle did not come to a complete stop. She described the pedal response as delayed. She proceeded onto our residential street at low speed and applied the brakes again. The brakes did not function properly. The pedal traveled to the floor with minimal braking effect and the vehicle came to a rolling stop rather than a controlled stop. She pulled to the side of the street and cycled the ignition off and on. She then drove approximately 10 to 20 feet and applied the brakes again with the same result: pedal to the floor, rolling stop only. Steering effort was normal throughout. We judged the vehicle unsafe to drive and cancelled the trip. It has not been driven since. Within 10 hours of the braking failure, the vehicle experienced a complete electrical failure. The key fob would not unlock the doors and I had to use the physical key. With the brake pedal depressed and the start button pressed, the instrument cluster illuminated for less than one second and then shut off, repeating. The vehicle would not start and remains disabled. No crash, no fire, no injury. The vehicle has open safety recall 21d (NHTSA 26v-363) listed as incomplete. All other recalls were completed at dealer service in may 2026. Current mileage is ~62,000.

Abs control module, went out while driving on the interstate , causing vehicle to go into limp mode , and almost causing multiple vehicle accidents, loss traction control, emergency brake light, and abs warning light on.

I have a c2200 diagnostic code for an internal fault on my abs module. This is on a national backorder, and the Jeep dealership told me there in no current eta. Therefore, I have been driving around with no abs. Sometimes the transmission will surge or bog down causing erratic behaviors on the road which nearly led to me rear ending someone. I worry what will happen if I am ever forced to slam on the brakes in an emergency, but unfortunately, I have no choice but to continue driving it.

The front left (drivers side) caliper stuck and the the brake line needs replaced. The caliper sticking was causing extreme heat that could have caused a fire as well as brake failure. The repair shop confirmed that the parts need replaced. No warning messages were ever appear. Additionally, the left brake line from mopar is not available and there are almost a 1000 on back order. The Jeep is not drivable and no parts available for the foreseeable future to fix the problem.

2018 Jeep Wrangler rubber brake lines collapsing internally, trapping hydraulic fluid pressure, and causing front brakes to overheat/lock up. Happened last year on my driver's side. It completely locked up my caliper. Ended up replacing front driver hose & caliper. And both front rotors and brake pads. Now its currently happening to my passenger side. This time its actually causing a burning smell. Last year it did not it was just grinding. Been for a few months. At first I though it was my aux battery that was dead and was causing the smell. But got that looked at and didnt even have a ln aux battery. Didnt notice the smell for a few months. But now in extreme heat and worsen driving conditions it has came back. Was told my hose is collapsing. So now I have to replace rotors and brake pads again. And new hose and caliper on my passenger side.

My abs module is confirmed faulty resulting in an unsafe car to drive. The abs module is extremely hard to come by, on an indefinite backorder, and I cannot get the part anywhere. Maybe people waiting over a year for the part. This is resulting in aftermarket or refurbished parts, which are risky and unsafe. I am out of a vehicle because I cannot get the part and no one wants to buy a faulty car.

Incident: on the morning of July 14, 2026, (rush hour), I was driving my 2015 Jeep (VIN 1c4bjwcg6fl549467; approximately 28,000 miles) southbound on interstate 75 toward miami International airport. I was traveling at approximately 75 mph when several dashboard warning lights suddenly illuminated: •brake warning •abs •sway bar •stability control •transmission the Jeep speed dropped dramatically while the engine rpm increased sharply. The sudden deceleration caused a near pileup among the vehicles behind me, but no collision occurred. Aftermath: after the abrupt slowdown, the speedometer displayed no reading. To protect the engine, I continued operating the Jeep at 3 to 3500 rpm max, and an estimated speed of 20–25 mph. I was able to exit interstate 75 a few miles from the initial incident and eventually reached park 'n fly near mia airport. Dealer findings: upon trip return on July 23, 2026, I took the Jeep to bomnin Chrysler-Jeep (invoice docs178791). The dealer advised me that: •the Jeep's abs had failed. •the reduced-speed condition was a built-in "protective" feature known as “limp mode. ” •the failed abs module, part number 68259556, is reportedly a common issue in Jeep jk models. •stellantis no longer manufactures with part. As a result, the Jeep became inoperable for normal use and had to be transported approximately 150 miles from miami to my residence. Safety concern and requested action: I was fortunate that the road was dry and that no semi-truck was immediately behind me. The passenger vehicles following me were able to react safely, preventing a collision. It is unacceptable that a component directly related to braking and vehicle stability is reportedly prone to failure, discontinued, and that a reliable alternate part does not exist. Given the seriousness of the failure and the sudden loss of speed it caused, I believe abs module 68259556 should be investigated for a a potential safety recall covering the affected vehicles.

The abs module is providing a code and mechanic states it is defective and needs to be replaced. Manufacturer has no parts available for repair. No accident occurred, only way to use vehicle is without abs protected braking.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the abs warning light was illuminated. While driving, the vehicle experienced a loss of traction, a pulsating or pumping sensation in the brake pedal, and skidded easily upon heavy brake application. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 24v896000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, Jeep models were not included in the recall parameters. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with electronic control unit (ecu), electronic stability control (esc), traction control, and abs failures. The vehicle was not repaired because the parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 128,000.

I was driving and the traction control light, down-hill decent, abs, and parking brake light came on. Diagnostics came back to the brake module being defective.

The anti-lock brake system (abs) control module on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler unlimited failed, resulting in a c2200 internal abs module fault. The failure disables the abs, electronic stability control, and traction control safety systems. The failed component is available for inspection upon request. The initial symptoms were abs, traction control, and stability control warning lights appearing intermittently. The issue was later confirmed through diagnostic scanning to be an internal abs control module failure. As the condition progressed, the vehicle lost the speedometer signal and began experiencing abnormal automatic transmission behavior, including delayed shifting, holding gears longer than normal, and higher than expected engine rpms. This appears to be related to the vehicle losing accurate speed information from the failed abs system. The vehicle was inspected and diagnosed with the c2200 abs module fault. The required oem replacement abs module is reportedly unavailable through normal parts channels and has been on extended backorder, leaving owners with limited repair options and significant repair costs. This failure presents a safety concern because critical driver assistance systems, including abs and electronic stability control, are disabled. In addition, the loss of vehicle speed information can affect transmission operation and normal vehicle drivability. The problem appears to be a known failure affecting other vehicles of this generation, and replacement parts are difficult or impossible to obtain through standard repair channels.

I recently had the c2200 code for abs module failure. The fact there are no current parts available and there has been a waiting list for years is extremely troubling. I'm not sure how having a faulty abs system is not an issue that warrants an investigation. There are a lot of Chrysler/Jeep vehicles on the road that are having to be driven in an unsafeanner due to not being able to repair the damaged parts. This is unacceptable.

Abs control module failure on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. I can not find a new, use or rebuilt replacement. The earliest appointment that I can get at the local dealership is July 30, 2026. I went to a local independent repair shop. They verified the abs control module failure but also can not find a new, use or rebuilt replacement. This happened to my daughter on her 2016 Jeep Wrangler about a year ago and my son on his 2016 Dodge ram pickup. It took my son two years to find a replacement part. My daughter got tired of waiting and traded in her Jeep. Three failures in the same family can’t be a coincidence.

Xxx lights on dash for abs, brakes, traction came on upon commuting home from [xxx] to [xxx]. I went to Honda fredericksburg and diagnosis was c2200 failed and the part was on back order. Returned to SC and followed up with Jeep and local automotive services and part back order but able to drive without replacement and still awaiting product. Xxx engine light on in addition to the continual abs, brake, traction lights as well as vehicle going into limp mode. Took it immediately to local automotive services shop and received abs control module failure is now sending error to other sensors to put Jeep in limp mode and inoperable. Oem part still on back order and unable to obtain from Jeep. I contacted mt. Pleasant Jeep dealership service department as well and unable to get the part. No part available and unknown timeframe which leaves me to garage the Jeep while waiting for a new part to become available.
