Service Brakes Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 1

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the abs and traction control warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a failed abs module. The contact was informed that the abs module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, the contact was informed that the parts were in back order indefinitely. The contact was advised that she could drive the vehicle at her own risk. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,108.

I purchased my 2015 Jeep Wrangler approximately a year and a half ago. At the time of purchase, the abs, traction control, and brake warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard. The dealership told me these lights were caused by a simple sensor issue that was on backorder and would be resolved later. About two weeks ago, while driving, my Jeep suddenly went into limp mode. I had two independent mechanics inspect the vehicle, and both confirmed that the diagnostic codes pointed to a failed abs module. I then contacted the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. They acknowledged that the abs module is still on backorder but claimed they did not believe the module was the issue, despite the diagnostic results from two separate mechanics. The abs module has now completely failed, and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. The abs, traction control, and brake systems are not functioning, and the Jeep cannot be operated normally. I am unable to drive my vehicle due to this safety?critical failure. This appears to be a widespread issue with abs modules on this model year, and replacement parts are unavailable. I am submitting this report so NHTSA can investigate whether this abs module failure represents a broader safety defect that requires action.

While driving approximately 35 mph on a 4 lane major roadway, the vehicle suddenly shut off in motion, resulting in a complete loss of power. This included loss of power steering and the abs system. The vehicle effectively locked up, and a message appeared on the display instructing me to place the vehicle in park. As a result of the shutdown, the vehicle lost all propulsion and came to a complete stop in an active travel lane of a high-speed roadway. There was no ability to maneuver the vehicle out of traffic. I could not steer it to safety, restart it, or shift it into neutral. The vehicle was fully immobilized in the roadway. This left me and my family stopped in an active lane of traffic, exposed to oncoming vehicles traveling at highway speeds, creating an immediate and serious risk of collision. At the time of the incident, I had two children in the vehicle. We remained in this dangerous position until police arrived and an hour after. The vehicle ultimately had to be removed from the roadway with assistance, as it was not operable. During the event, there was a total loss of electrical power. The critical safety systems, including brake lights, were not functioning during the shutdown. After attempting to reset the battery, the vehicle continued to malfunction. It would not properly turn on or off, wouldn't shift into neutral and remained unable to be moved. This is the third occurrence of this; once was while driving at highway speeds. All warning lights, including the battery light, were illuminated. The vehicle is subject to an active recall; however, I have been informed that there is currently no available remedy . Despite this, the dealership and stellantis advised that the vehicle was safe to operate. Given the repeated loss of power while driving, the inability to move the vehicle out of an active roadway, and the absence of an available repair, this vehicle presents a serious safety risk and I should be able to turn this vehicle in with refund.

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notifications of NHTSA campaign numbers: 10v236000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 16v290000 (air bags), and 18v021000 (air bags); however, the parts required to complete the recall repairs were not available. The contact stated that the dealer had been contacted several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer confirmed that parts were not yet available and were on back order. The dealer informed the contact that parts for NHTSA campaign number: 10v23600 (service brakes, hydraulic); had been discontinued. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that the parts were discontinued. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The contact had not experienced a failure.

While braking at low speed approaching a stoplight, the vehicle did not slow as expected when I removed my foot from the accelerator. As I applied increasing brake pressure, the engine revved and the vehicle continued to move forward into the intersection. The brakes appeared to be working but had to counter engine power, and the tires briefly chirped. I shifted into neutral to stop the vehicle and then backed out of the intersection. If another vehicle had been stopped in front of me, a collision would likely have occurred. The vehicle was in fuel and oil refresh mode (form) with max regenerative braking enabled at the time of the incident. There were no warning lights or messages. I provided dashcam video to the dealer. The dealer was unable to duplicate the condition but reported that stored vehicle data showed abs activation during the incident. The dealer has documented the event as a safety concern and reported it to the manufacturer. This appears to involve unintended forward movement or application of engine power while braking, creating a significant safety risk.

On 4/09/26 my trac control/ abs and brake light illuminated on the dash and the hill descent assist flashes . When diagnosed at shop code c2200 was found. ( module internal failure). This is a known problem to stallantis who has had problems for several years now with this module. They now have an engineering hold on it with no plans of fixing the situation. This is a mandatory safety equipment and a national recall should be made, and they should have to fix their equipment. How is it safe or even legal to let this type of thing happen?.

I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler with 180,000 miles. I never off road the vehicle, but after driving on a dirt road, the stability control kicked in during a turn. At the start of the next drive after that, there were 3 lights on the dashboard: brake, abs, stability control. Connecting the jscan app to the vehicle, the abs module is completely unresponsive and the vehicle gives a c2200 error code. There were no symptoms of this issue before this event. This vehicle is available to be inspected any time. Lack of abs is a very dangerous safety concern, as neither of my children have ever had to drive a vehicle without abs. After some research, this seems to be a very common problem. After some age and heat cycles, the electronics in the module become weak, and my single use of the stability control apparently is enough to push the weak electronics over the edge and destroy the module. This has been confirmed through several companies who repair these modules, such as [xxx] , who no longer repairs these modules, apparently because the computer chips are no longer made, and I have heard stories about the chip maker going out of business during covid. It was also confirmed by a local Jeep specialist, and the dealer parts department also tells the same story, people have been waiting on this module for over 2 years now. A manufacturer of this size with this many vehicles affected by such a safety issue should step up and commission another chip manufacturer to make these vehicles road worthy again. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Keep abs / traction control module defective with no replacement available.

Parked my 2023 Wrangler 4xe for about three hours. When I started driving again the brake pedal was hard and it took way longer than normal to stop. No warning lights, no codes on the obd reader. Toggling max regen on and off made no difference. Power cycling the vehicle didn’t fix it. Pads are warm so the calipers are engaging, but there’s very little stopping force behind them. I would guess there is an electrical issue with the regenerative breaking system or brake vacuum.

2015 Jeeps have know issues with the tipm and abs module. There have been recalls for these on dodges and other model Jeeps. Something needs to be done to fix this. You can't even get a new abs module for this Jeep and haven't been able to for years. Please help us. This is a huge safety concern!!.

2014 Jeep Wrangler abs module failure, part number 68145835ae dash light for abs and brake warning light are constant on the dash. This is the 2nd 2014 Jeep Wrangler I have owned that has this problem. It has been diagnosed by the Jeep dealer and another mechanic. The part is on national back order. I ordered the first one in 2024 and it has not been available. I have done a bunch of research and believe a chip in the module fails but is no longer available. My Jeep is available for inspection.

Abs module error: c2200 causes Jeep to go into limp mode when accelerator is pushed hard. Near miss on collision, lack of abs causes skidding and possible loss of control.

The abs module (68259556ad) on my 2016 jku is not working (code c2200) and the part is not available anywhere. I tried buying online and reaching out to a dealership, but everyone acknowledges stellantis doesn’t have the part available. There are posts on Jeep forums from 2023 from people with the same issue which is causing their Jeeps to go into limp mode at highway speeds. I feel unsafe driving my car and there’s no current way to fix this issue.

A deer jumped in front of me and the brakes locked up. The Jeep spun 180 degrees before it stopped. Nothing was damaged and I traveled on. About a week later the abs and traction control lights started blinking. Within a day they were solid and the cruise control stopped also. I researched and found the speed sensor was a common problem. I carried it to a ase certified mechanic for the sensor to be replaced. The sensor was replaced but the lights didn’t go out. It was put on the computer and noted it was the abs control module part number 68259556ad. The problem is that the part is in such demand that it will take months to get it. So this seems to be a recurring issue for Jeeps. I am now riding with no abs because mopar can’t keep up with the demand.

Driving safety concern. Important my new vehicle (Jeep Wrangler rubicon x) 2026 abruptly shut down as I was driving and veering the steering wheel to the left. All the vehicle power was suddenly gone (electrical, engine, etc) without notice and the vehicle made an aggressive total stop immediately . The steering wheel was hard and the brakes blocked after it lose power and shut down. This has happened twice now. Fortunately I was driving at low speeds and there where no vehicles behind me. However I don’t want to drive the car anymore as this can lead to a serious accident. The first time this happened was two week ago. I took the vehicle to the dealership where I bought it and after 2 weeks of checking the vehicle they returned it to me saying that they couldn’t find anything. 5 days after I got the vehicle back from the dealership this happened again today. The problem persists and it’s a very concerning.

Abs pump is faulty, part is unavailable to purchase for years not safe when roads are icy or wet.

Anti-lock brake system stopped working rendering the car inoperable. The first incident: about 5 years ago the abs engaged the brakes while driving almost causing a collision. This incident occurred in guaynabo, pr. After this incident the abs module stopped working but the car was still operable. A week ago the pcm lost communication with the abs module bringing the car into "limp mode" (stuck in 3rd gear until y did not longer engaged the transmission. Also the speedometer stopped working. ) this happened while driving on a Sunday on busy road. This has been a common issue with Jeep Wranglers made from 2012 to 2018. The company at this moment is not producing replacement parts (abs modules) for these vehicles leaving owners without any way to fix or use their cars. Abs module dtc's: -c2200 -u0100 -u0141 -u0126 -u0002 while scanning the module comes and goes offline.

The component that failed is the anti-lock braking system (abs) control module in a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. Diagnostic code c2200 (“abs control module internal failure”) was retrieved during a scan, indicating an internal electronic failure within the abs module. The component remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. When the failure occurs, the vehicle’s abs, traction control, and stability control systems become disabled. The dashboard displays warning lights for the abs, traction control, and brake system. While the base braking system continues to function, the loss of these electronic safety systems could increase the risk of reduced vehicle control during emergency braking or low-traction conditions such as wet or slippery roads. The issue has been confirmed through diagnostic scanning by a service center, which produced code c2200 indicating an internal failure of the abs control module. The condition is repeatable: the warning lights appear after approximately 10 minutes of driving, and if the vehicle is turned off and allowed to sit for a period of time (such as overnight), the lights reset but return again after driving. The replacement abs control module is currently extremely difficult to obtain. According to a Jeep dealership parts department, the module is on significant backorder, with hundreds of outstanding orders that were expected to be filled earlier in 2026 but remain unfulfilled. The part is widely reported within the Jeep owner community to be a common failure for this vehicle generation, yet no recall or official remedy has been issued.

My Jeep Wrangler abs module has failed and needs to be replaced. But Jeep decided not to make this part anymore and now me and a lot of others can’t get a new abs module. My Jeep is way too dangerous to drive now. When accelerating from a stop the vehicle barely kicks in like the tires don’t know what direction to move. When I’m coming to a stop the breaks don’t work right due to the abs module. This is a big safety concern and Jeep needs to be held accountable and fix this issue. This is a major issue and needs to addressed before people get into accidents. I’m sure some people already have.

Abs system dash light. Mechanic referred me to dealership. Dealership revealed no modules available from manufacture. Resolution?.

Pulled into parking space. Applied brakes and came to a complete stop. Could hear engine revving up. . Thought ok, that gas pedal seem to be pressed. Look at my foot wasn’t pressing the pedal. Looked at floor mats. It was laying flat on floor, not manipulating the pedal. I thought what’s happening? and lifted foot off brake ever so slightly and car jumped 6 inch high curb and hit the building. . Pretty hard. Caused structural damage to the wall. I went to the hospital, driven by husband. Swelling of my right leg on the shin. Released and told to stay off leg for few days, no fractures. After doing research, it seems other Jeep riders have had this experience. I have no idea how fast the Jeep was going.

My 2017 Jeep Wrangler experienced repeated brake system failures beginning shortly after purchase. After extensive brake repairs, the vehicle was ultimately diagnosed with a failed abs control module. The vehicle is unsafe to operate due to loss of abs/stability safety systems. Jeep/stellantis has the required oem module on national backorder with no repair timeline (some other Jeep owner reports say it has been on backorder for up to 18 months), reportedly under engineering review. Dealerships and mechanics indicate this issue is widespread among Jeep Wranglers. The inability to obtain a safety-critical brake component leaves the vehicle effectively unusable and unable to be safely repaired (has been undriveable since Feb 11 2026).

Abs module has gone bad. Has an internal communication error. This is typical on these vehicles. The problem is getting a part from Chrysler. The modules have been on back order for years and there’s no sign of getting a fix. The vehicle is unsafe to drive but we are left with no choice but to continue to drive it. Why hasn’t anything been done to kick them in gear and get replacement parts made?.

I have $80,000 in my Jeep parked in my garage because the abs module failed. Error code c2200. I have taken it to three mechanics; kap motor sports in palmetto FL, afny, and 4 wheel parts in bradenton FL. All have run tests coming back with the same error. We have done two abs bleeds to try and fix the problem. This part should have been recalled years ago. It has been on back order for years and when firkins Jeep in bradenton FL tried to order the part the order was canceled by Jeep. Jeep hasn't recalled it and isn't making it available for their customers who have spent so much money on their Jeeps. At this point a lawsuit needs to be filed and have started that process. This is my daily driver and if my Jeep kills or injures someone due to this abs failure Jeep will be held responsible.

Jeep abs system failed. Known widespread issue. Replacement module is on back order after multiple revisions. Failed module disables the traction control with a warning on dash. Warnings also include brake light and abs light. With traction control disabled I have had the vehicle spin out of control in wet situation. Once it has caused me to lose control and end up off the road. Vehicle was at dealer for other recall and the abs module needs to be replaced but on back order.

Recent abs module failure w c2200 code. Took to Chrysler/Jeep dealer for repair and was told replacement module part is unavailable with up to and more, a year backorder. Was advised there was nothing they could do to repair. Researched other dealers and suppliers with same results. This is certainly a safety concern as this abs module failure appears to be a common failure in Jeeps of this and adjacent model years and there is nothing a dealer or any other service firm can repair due to part availability.

I was pulling into my garage with my foot on the break going very slow, all of a sudden the Jeep jumped forward smashing into my garage wall into the family room. Filed a claim with insurance company for both damage to car and damage to home. Claim number for car: 26-01382 claim number for home: 26-01383.

Abs control module has failed causing the abs system and the traction control to fail. I have no antilock brakes now. I have had issues with braking multiple times, especially in loose traction. Manufacture stated there’s no available replacement parts to fix my condition. Traction control, abs, and brake lights stay illuminated on my dash. This also creates a distraction while driving.

The abs control module has failed. Anti-lock brake and stability management systems, in addition to vehicle descent control are malfunctioning. This renders the vehicle extremely unstable and difficult to drive. Stellantis is aware of the problem and reports no replacement parts are available and has not issued a recall. The vehicle has low milage and has never been in an accident.

I bought my 2017 Jeep with 29,000 miles on it. I had an issue with the rear driverside brake locking up around 40,000 miles. I feel this is a safety issue due to how hot the brakes got and at times would be smoking. It being the weekend and my only vehicle, repaired myself for approximately $280. I have had to replace several coil packs around $50,000 miles. My main complaint today, at 66,000 miles it seems to be leaking oil. I took to mechanic this morning and was told this is a common problem with Jeeps. The oil cooler housing is cracked and leaking. This part is made out of plastic. The repair for this is going to cost $1200 to $1500. I have read complaints regarding this issue and do not understand why this hasn't been recalled. This is a major safety concern and could possibly cause a fire. I have owned Jeeps my whole life and as of today, I will never purchase another. The Jeep brand has declined in reliability and has proved to be a huge financial mistake.

Abs brake module (part # 68145835ae) is a known defect on Jeep Wranglers 2012-2014. This part becomes defective, eliminating the abs braking feature, also causing other transmission related problems. The real problem is mopar support. Currently, nationally, this part is, and has been on back order (over 300 backorders) with no expectations of being available. I have been waiting for this part for over 6 months (no abs) and problems with the vehicle have been escalating. This is a known problem, discussed on Jeep forum. Com, mopar parts suppliers and among dealerships.

The abs module that controls the antilock braking system is defective for mine and many other Jeeps from 2013-2017. Jeep is no longer manufacturing this part, and essentially this renders the vehicle undriveable. I have sought modules both locally and online, and the experts are telling me that Jeep has not made this part in years. When driving with the bad abs module while trying to search for the new part, my Jeep shut down on the highway twice, and I was forced to pull over the side of the road. This was extremely dangerous. And Jeep is providing no solutions for owners.

Abs module part# 68259556ac has failed. (replacement part is 68259556ad) stellantis/Jeep has not provided a replacement part for over three years. This affects all Jeep Wranglers 2014-2018. We have no abs and no traction control in our Jeeps. We need help.

Abs module fails with c2200 code. No replacement parts are available, hence driving with no abs (manual brakes). Jeep needs to address the nationwide backlog on ats moudles so proper repairs can be made and Jeep owners have the peace of mind that the abs is functioning properly.
