Service Brakes Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 1

Dear sir(or madam), the left rear caliber is locking up again. We have changed 4 rear calibers, rotors , breaks and brake hoses and two sets of front calibers, breaks, rotors and break hoses and again the caliber in the rear right is locking up again. This you would think is a safety hazard by now. We have owned three Wranglers and everyone of them had brake problems. I thought that maybe Jeep would have this problem solved by now. But am sure if NHTSA doesn't do anything then Jeep isn't going to do anything. This problem is costing us a arm and leg. I wish you at NHTSA would do something about this on going problem. Thank you.

While driving at about 55 mph my Wrangler shut down and dash read to put car in park to calibrate battery. I had to bring vehicle to side of road and try to restart. It did restart. I had a recall addressed at marc motors sanford maine service dept back in April 18, 2025. For recall for high voltage. Not sure why recall is showing incomplete? I am very scared to drive this car. I called the dealership in which directed me to call Jeep customer service. No one could help me. I was told I had to pay for a rental. I do not have such funds. In the mean time I am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle that shuts off anytime while driving. I'm leasing this vehicle from stellantis and still have no help or support. I'm afraid to drive this car. I have no other means of transportation. I need to be able to transport to my job. I was told by dealership and Jeep customer service that there is no solution to fix such recall. Not until the first quarter of 2026. Please, I need a solution thank you [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The abs warning light, traction control warning light, and emergency brake light are all lite up on the dashboard of my 2015 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport. Abs is not working on my Jeep. Mechanic shop checked for codes and said the abs control module is bad and needs to be replaced. The shop qouted me $1,500. 00 for parts and labor and that was if they could find a new abs control module somewhere. If part isn't replaced, I'm told that brakes could fail or Jeep could seize up after being driven so many miles. Mechanic shop said abs control module for Jeeps is on national backorder and they are hard to find, can find used ones at salvage yards but they are priced three and four times what they normally cost brand new and they may or may not be able to flash the module to match my VIN on a used one. In other words, can't get a new one because they are not being produced any longer, and there's no guarantee that a used one will work. Online forums have confirmed all of this information also, as there are thousands of people who are having this same issue over the past year or so. I have spoken with several online dealers who sell oem mopar parts and they have confirmed that this part isn't even being produced any longer and there is no replacement part for it. So all this to say, my Jeep is parked, undrivable because of a safety issue due to this part (abs control module) not being produced by anyone any longer.

I have been waiting on a replacement abs module for months , was told I could continue to drive the Jeep by a Jeep dealership, the part is on back order and no plans to put in productions; my shop can see that there is ove500 people waiting on this part that effects the operation of the safety features designed on 11/29 my Jeep would stopped abruptly in traffic and would not go forward or reverse just stuck - lucky I was not hit in the rear or causing a major accident, after turning on /off I was able to go 100 yards to get it out of traffic, and needed a tow . Sitting at dealership - Jeep payment , no Jeep and no answers - along with many other people driving Jeeps on the road today . -this may of caused other issues to my Jeep as well.

I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler that has the brake, abs and traction control lights on. It is a failure of the abs module. When these lights are on, these systems are disabled. Jeep has told me that this part is on back order, due to a high failure rate. It is a safety issue when these systems are down. I have been told that some customers have waited a year or longer for the part, with some selling the vehicles. I think this problem needs a recall.

While driving at highway speed on November 11, 2025, my 2021 Jeep Wrangler experienced a sudden and complete electrical failure without warning. A “battery saver mode” message appeared, and within seconds multiple safety systems began shutting down. First failure: while driving on the highway and exiting, the vehicle abruptly lost power steering, abs, stability control, airbag system, exterior lighting, dashboard displays, and engine power. Multiple warning lamps illuminated at once. Steering and braking became extremely difficult, creating an immediate safety risk. I was able to coast to a stop and park. The vehicle then appeared stable and the messages cleared. Second failure: after restarting the vehicle, the warning reappeared. While driving on a major high-traffic roadway, the vehicle experienced a total electrical shutdown in active traffic and would not restart. Third failure: a towing service attempted to jump-start the vehicle; it briefly powered on, illuminated nearly every warning light, then immediately shut down again with the radiator fan running at full speed. The electrical system continued to collapse and the vehicle required a full tow. Inspection and diagnosis: the dealership confirmed a complete alternator and charging system failure at approximately 36,419 miles. This failure occurred at only 4 years of age, which is unusually early for an alternator or charging system failure. The vehicle’s original battery also failed unusually early (at only 2. 5 years old) without warning, which may have been an early indication of a charging system issue. The vehicle is lightly used, garage-kept, never off-roaded, and regularly maintained. The sudden loss of steering assist, braking assist, airbags, lighting, and engine power at speed and in high-traffic areas created an extreme safety risk for myself and others. This appears to be a premature electrical system failure and may relate to broader charging system concerns reported in similar vehicles.

Abs system fails periodically causing the Jeep to go into limp mode driving in traffic.

Abs module started to fail about a year ago but was only recently identified (within the last two weeks). Abs module listed for back order with more than 500 orders ahead of mine within Jeep dealership system. Order placed outside of dealership via mopar website but listed as shipping next month (16-28 December).

2015 Jeep Wrangler sahara, 3. 6l, v6. Vehicle suddenly goes into “limp mode” while on highway due to bad abs brake control module. Mopar replacement part number 68259556ad, but it is on back order nationally for over a year. Jeep dealer will not take to fix. Chrysler Dodge doing nothing about it, forcing owners to drive vehicles without abs or traction control. This is not right with customers as we need car to work or it is a 2 ton paper weight. There appears to be no incentive to fix this back order issue. Please help!.

It is all over the road going down hill when wet or icy. The 68259556ad abs module is not working , warninglights are on the vehicle and the part is no where to be found. Been on backorder for months.

Abs module has gone bad. Replacements are not being made, and it is unable to be rebuilt. This forces me to drive with the anti-lock brake system not working. This is my only means of transportation and I have to drive it to work to pay the grocery bill. I feel unsafe driving it, but I have no other choice. Something needs to be done, and replacement parts need to be made available. 1.

My vehicle shut off as I was accelerating.

Jeep 4xe complete loss of power while driving almost caused a huge accident. No power, no power steering totally dangerous and they knew damn well this would happen but didn't alert customers!!!.

Dear sir (or madam), we have a 2017 Wrangler rubicon and we've change the rear brake hoses, calibers, rotors and brakes twice due to the brake hoses collapsing and not letting the fluid return to the master cylinder. The first time it was covered the second time 1000 bucks. We have also replaced the front brake hoses, calibers, rotors and brake due to the brake hose collapsing and not letting the fluid return to the master cylinder another 640 bucks. This is the third Wrangler we've owned and the same thing has happened on all 3 the rear hoses collapse and wont let the fluid return to the master cylinder. You would think that since it has to do with the brakes you at NHTSA would say its a hazard because the brakes lock up.

Car stopped dead as I merged into a major highway and said hybrid battery issue and requested to be moved into park. I turned off the car and on and put it in esave mode to move it - very dangerous.

I was driving the Jeep in my neighborhood when the dashboard flickered and it told me to put the vehicle in park and press the "start" button (same message it would give when you get in the car and get ready to start it, except it was already running and I was driving). Vehicle seemed to lose some power assist features like steering. I wasn't going fast, so it was hard to tell exactly what switched off, but the brakes felt stiff as well. I was able to stop the Jeep, turned it off, and then back on. . . Which *seemed* to resolve the issue but then I had a check engine light on. I have a small diagnostic tool so I plugged it in and it give me 3 codes about control modules experiencing an "improper wake up" (whatever that means). Thankful I was not on the interstate at highway speeds or it could have been very dangerous.

My vehicle completely shut down while driving after a reported connect update issue on 10/10. I was driving down the highway on 10/12 and it completely lost power.

Our abs control module is firing out an internal error code. Mopar has the unit on back order. It has been on back order for more than a year. To get a used one costs 5 times more than a new one. This is a huge problem for people when it comes to safe driving.

Saturday morning, approx 10:00 am vehicle screen showed it was updated u-conn (not sure exactly) when update finished vehicle lost power while driving (*note 4xe hybrid electric Jeep in hybrid mode). Every light on instrument cluster lit up. I was able to coast to the side of the road and park. The display said to place vehicle in park and hit start. I was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle would drive for 3-5 minutes and then completely lose electrical power again. This is very scary to happen while driving, losing power steering, power brakes and being a sitting duck in traffic! when we looked on line, it appears this is an issue with 4xe electric Jeeps and many, many people have had the same issue. We were very lucky to have not had a major collision. Jeep needs to be accountable for this safety issue, how many people were not as lucky to avoid a collision. Completely unacceptable.

On [xxx] Jeep sent out a software update to my car. I did not agree to the update but it obviously updated my vehicle. The next day I went to drive the vehicle and after 1/4 mile the car started flashing the check engine light, it said to put in park and the vehicle died including no braking or steering. It happened three more times before I could get it to a safe place to park. Since it was a Saturday and I was in western north carolina, there were no Jeep technicians available to help me. I hit sos on my Jeep and connected to stellantis. They were having to send a tow truck. I finally read a blog where someone figured out how to rest the uconnect system. ( the one Jeep recommended did not work). It worked and the check engine light came off. However, this was extremely dangerous and irresponsible of Jeep. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

After my uconnect software updated today 10/11/25 my car has not been driving right since. I can’t drive more than 20ft without it stopping flashing “shift to p” all my gears are lighting up I put the car into park with my foot on the break it flashes 3 different other issues then reverts back to my mph, I am not able to shift it back into drive I have to then turn the car completely off then turn it back on shift it into drive. Happened on a major road with heavy traffic not safe. I managed to do a hard factory rest and drove it on e-save which I was able to get the car to my house without having to pay $350 for towing. I’m praying it can get me to work on Monday and this will be fixed by then because I cannot afford to miss work let alone pay for a rental due to Jeeps mistake!! I pay a lot of money for this car which is a 2024 Jeep Wrangler sahara 4xe with less than 20k miles never had any other issues with it until now. Very disappointed!.

I was driving my car and came to a near stop. When I attempted to drive the car again the vehicle displayed a message to shift to park and then restart the vehicle. I did that and was able to drive another 30 miles home. The next day, I drove the car 20 miles to get an oil change. When I drove a mile away from the oil change location the car displayed a shift to park and restart message again. After that, I was able to drive the car 20 miles home. About an hour later, I drove 1/2 mile up the road and the car again displayed a shift to park message and restart as I was driving up to 50 mph on the highway. I was able to get the car home, but the message displayed again twice. The car shuts off if you do not follow the instructions so as I was driving up to 50 mph the car lost power creating a very dangerous driving scenario.

After an update Jeep sent out on October 10, 2025, my Wrangler suddenly stalled while driving. I lost power steering, brakes, and total control of the vehicle. It forced me to shift to park. I had to drive home in limp mode, barely making it. My car is unable to be driven. It is a hazard. Thousands of others are having the issue as well — while on the freeway. This is deadly. Jeep has not put out any information. We are left without vehicles.

The abs module has failed causing the stabiltrak , brake light , and abs lights to come on the dash. We took it to the dealer and evidently this is a common issue with the Jeep Wranglers and Dodge rams. . So much that the part is back ordered and there is no eta. Some people have been waiting over a year. They say it’s under engineering review. Anyway my wife was driving the other day and someone had pulled out in front of her and she hit the brakes real hard and it made a weird noise and the brakes locked up. Almost causing her to swerve and lose control. I have the service report that says abs module and backed ordered with no eta. . I have heard other peoples Jeeps just going over to broke mode and can only drive 30 mph. It’s crazy? what are we the consumer supposed to do. Can’t afford to trade it in for another vehicle. But need a vehicle for work or keep driving it and hope brakes or something else doesn’t fail when you need it… thank you.

Car is locking up and saying “press p to start” and shift gear lights start blinking. Check engine light is also on.

While pulling into parking lot Jeep suddenly accelerated deployed brakes it would not stop. Hit pillar in front of store. Did considerable damage to build and vehicle.

The abs module failed while driving. Yes it is available for inspection. The 2017 Jeep Wrangler stopped abruptly. Then it barely moved when I continued to press on the accelerator pedal. Then it ran normal for about a mile, then it started jerking like I was depressing the brake pedal, intermittently. The safety of myself and others was put at risk by the sudden braking without any input from me. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. No, the vehicle has not been inspected by the police, manufacturer, or insurance representatives. The abs lamp came on, as well as others. It has been at the service shop for one month. The owner of the shop told me that the "working" part is unavailable, right now. He is looking in junkyards for a used part. I wrote an email to [xxx] " and they said that they're not working on Jeeps with this problem right now, because they can't get the "chips" (micro processors). I called the Jeep dealership, they told me that the part would cost me $371. 70. Then I talked with the service manager. He told me that installation and programming would cost me $490. 00 + tax. That's a total of $861. 70. Then he mentioned it could take 2 years, 1 year; or 6 months to get the part. He said that he just got one in, and the lady had waited since February (8 months) to get her part. Different year models require different versions of this part, and it is made in china. This shortage of abs modules has been going on for years! I have done multiple searches on the internet, and I found that there are thousands of people with this problem. I also found out that the abs modules for sale on amazon and ebay do not work. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The 2012 Jeep 4 door Wrangler had the abs control module internal error failure, this makes the car unsafe to drive. The dealer cannot get repair parts, the car is un-repaired since October 2025. Further, they cannot source the chips for the components, the make cannot provide a delivery date. (unknown when this will be rectified. Other years of this car have been recalled for this issue. This year has not yet. Please help us !).

My 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe (VIN [xxx] ) has two active recalls (25v-741 and 25v-766). The battery does not charge, and the vehicle has braking issues by itself. Dealership attempted repairs multiple times with no resolution. The vehicle may catch fire and is unsafe to drive or charge. I’m requesting NHTSA review and manufacturer action information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport and the abs controle module has failed rendering the Jeep without traction control and without abs system I have contacted service centers and told that it has been a backorder part for several years and that mopar has been less then responsive to the issue and all the service centers has waiting list of customers with the same issue that it is a well documented failure I reached out to mopar twice directly and got no answers and was told to talk to my service center something needs to be did to atleast make this part available.

The abs computer brake module is bad in my Jeep. It needs a replacement. Confirmed by Chrysler Jeep dealership. However, Chrysler does not offer a replacement module. Abs does not work on my vehicle. This is a huge safety issue and is common problem among this year Jeep. Chrysler shouldn’t be allowed to not have a replacement oem abs module. Huge safety risk and lawsuit.
