Service Brakes Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 1

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!!!.

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).

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.

- 2015 Jeep Wrangler with only 46k miles - dealership has confirmed that the abs module is out on the break system. - when module suddenly went out, Jeep went into "limp" mode in heavy houston traffic. - warning lamps: abs system, sway bar, check engine, and traction control all lit up suddenly. - Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep has a national backlog of the abs module that apparently has not delivered new products for months or years. - vehicle hard breaks, will not go faster than about 15mph, and cannot be used in current state as it is unsafe to drive. - vehicle is stranded 1 hr from my home, cannot be driven and will not be able to be driven for the foreseeable future. - unconscionable that Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep is not making this part thereby rendering my vehicle absolutely useless.

Abs sensor has failed at 35,000 miles and has left me without antilock brakes which impairs the braking ability of my vehicle in emergency situations. This needs to be issued as a recall.

Abs module has failed and has shut off the cruse control system. The o. E. Module is on national back order with no idea of it availability. The unit is still in the vehicle. Non-a. B. S. Brakes work. How ever the traction control system is shut off as well as the cruse control system posing a greater risk to all.

Abs and traction control lights are on. Sometimes emergency brake light comes on causing it to go into “limp mode”. This is dangerous for me bc this is my mail Jeep. I’m driving on roads where the speed limits are sometimes posted at 55mph. Mechanic replaced the rear wheel sensors because the computer indicated that was the problem. Did not fix the problem. The abs module has to be replaced and they’re on back order. Forums online have many different people stating they’re having the same problem with Jeep. Jeep parts department stating it could be a year or more before the part comes in and is available.

My 2016 Jeep Wrangler is displaying warning lights (brake, abs, traction control) on the dashboard. I took it to my Jeep dealership where they diagnosed the issue as an inoperative abs module part number 68259556ad. They placed it on order but it was back ordered with no available delivery date. My Jeep is now not able to be driven.

The abs module has failed on the vehicle. Attempts to repair it have been unsuccessful due to the part being back ordered for years.

Engine surge while braking. New 2025 Jeep Wrangler rubicon with 450 miles. V-6 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. No modifications. Autonomous braking. Came to a traffic circle with yield sign. Slowed by braking for vehicle on right to enter traffic circle. The engine suddenly surged, began bucking as I depressed the brake further, and entered the traffic circle, just barely missing the vehicle to the right. One wheel (not sure which) began skidding as if the abs had come one. I pulled over, shut the Jeep down and restarted. Problem did not recur. I tested pushing the brake while using the accelerator and the brake easily held the vehicle in stop. I am certain I did not "accidentally step on both the accelerator and brake at the same time. " an hour later I took the vehicle into the service department of the local Jeep dealer. They did not run a diagnostic but said that there were various possible caused but had not seen it on Jeeps they had serviced. I looked on the various Jeep chatrooms on line and discovered that many people had had the identical problem over the last 5 years. Some say they reported it to NHTSA. This is likely a software or computer issue and is extremely dangerous. It needs to be addressed by the manufacturer it was only by sheer luck I did not hit the right-of-way vehicle thank you for your interest.

Vehicle went in for repair of no power boost to brakes. Dealership replaced brake booster, no change. Dealership replaced vacuum pump, fixed issue. After 64 miles vacuum pump failed, no power brakes. Dealership replaced vacuum pump 2nd time said part was faulty from parts supplier. Problem was resolved. Around 100 miles later vacuum pump has failed for a 3rd time. Awaiting resolution.

Was on [xxx] traveling 40 mph. Traffic came to a sudden stop, when I hit brakes the abs never kicked in and I slid into car in front of me. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2020 Jeep Wrangler. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal became inoperable, and the brakes locked up without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the brake caliper had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic, where it was later diagnosed with a failed brake hose, but the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact ordered the parts for the repair from the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000.

Abs module is bad and has been on backorder for well over a year now.

The abs modular has went out in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler and [being that there is a nation wide backorder I am assuming this is a known problem by Jeep.

On August 12, 2025, the brakes on my 2022 Jeep Wrangler failed and resulted in a low speed collision. Brakes were being applied to stop for a traffic light and when I realized the vehicle was not stopping I pushed pedal to floor twice to try and stop vehicle. After the accident the vehicle was towed to tate Jeep dealership who could not duplicate the incident or identify why pressure in brake line dropped. Air bags did not deploy.

Dear NHTSA safety team, I’m writing to formally report a serious and widespread safety issue affecting Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The problem centers on the failure of the abs module, which triggers diagnostic code c2200. This defect disables critical safety systems including abs and traction control, and causes the vehicle to shake violently—often mistaken for warped rotors. Jeep has discontinued production of the replacement abs module, and the part has been on backorder for years. Today alone, my dealership received three separate calls from owners experiencing the same issue. This is clearly not an isolated incident. The consequences of this failure include: - loss of abs and traction control functionality - unstable braking behavior - increased risk of collision - no available replacement part from the manufacturer this poses a clear and present danger to drivers, passengers, and others on the road. I urge NHTSA to investigate this defect and compel Jeep to issue a recall or provide a viable solution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
