Service Brakes Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

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?.

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.

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.

1. Deceptive failure of equipment: the "we owe" document is a binding contract proving the dealer was required to deliver a functional towing infrastructure. By installing a physical 7-way plug housing but leaving the internal wiring dead, dewey cdjr did not just break a contract—they created an undeclared equipment hazard. 2. Severe highway danger: the NHTSA strictly regulates aftermarket and dealer-installed towing equipment because if a vehicle travels on the highway pulling a camper without active electric trailer brakes, it violates federal trailering safety standards and risks a catastrophic accident. 3. Franchise accountability: the NHTSA tracks patterns of behavior. If a franchised stellantis dealer is caught falsifying safety equipment installations to save on shop labor, federal regulators can force manufacturer-level safety audits on the brand.

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 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. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Abs module randomly fails. Affects abs and traction control systems.

Most of the dash lights are on scan code u1412. Says traction control not working, abs not working, speedometer not working, and airbags not working. The power control module (pcm) needs replaced. A known issue with the Jeep Wrangler jks. No one stocks the parts and used ones are way over priced. How can Jeep not have to replace it or at least stock a replacement part that has the issues resolved?.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power and stalled, and the vehicle went into limp mode. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The driver was able to safely move the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the abs module had failed. The local dealer was contacted and advised that the replacement part was on backorder and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the replacement part was not available. The failure mileage was approximately 68,482.

I own a 2018 Jeep Wrangler that my 19 year old son drives for college. While driving, the vehicle jerked and became sluggish. There were no warning lights illuminated. I became aware that the front brake rotors had overheated again. I had the front right brake caliber and brake line changed back in 2024 and the issue has recurred this year. I had a local mechanic change the front brake pads and rotors for both front tires and caliber to right front side only in April/2026 and the issue has started again today. The vehicle was taken back to local mechanic to be diagnosed again. He stated that the brake fluid was unable to properly bleed through the brake line restricting air to fully purge from the hydraulic system, which can result in incomplete bleeding, reduced braking performance, uneven pad wear, brake drag, or brake fade and is part of the reason for burning smell near right front tire. He added that car isn’t safe to drive in this condition due to safety concerns of accidents due to inability to properly brake or even a fire. Vehicle hasn’t been repaired due to cost and I will attempt to contact manufacturer. The initial mileage reading when this issue occurred in 2024 was 90,000 miles. The mileage as of this complaint is 112,392.

Brake, abs and traction dash lights come on permanently. Code pulled is c2200, abs internal failure. Replacement or repair parts unavailable due to manufacturer hold due to engineering issues. Can’t drive due to nc safety inspection fail.

My 2016 Jeep Wrangler is experiencing an ongoing problem with the abs/braking system and wheel-speed sensor. The abs/brake warning light comes on intermittently, particularly when turning right and during hot weather. The vehicle has not been repaired for this problem. I am reporting it because I am concerned that there may be a defect involving the wheel-speed sensor, sensor wiring/connection, wheel hub, or abs system. Because these components are connected to the vehicle’s anti-lock braking and stability/traction-control systems, I am concerned about the safety of continuing to drive the vehicle. I would like this problem investigated as a potential safety defect. I am also requesting that NHTSA review whether other 2016 Jeep Wrangler owners have reported similar abs, brake warning light, or wheel-speed sensor failures and determine whether a safety recall is warranted. There was no accident it just started happening on its own.

My abs module is not working and I’ve been waiting for several months for a new one but two dealers have told me they are not available anymore and my Jeep slips and slides out of control when the ground is wet after rain.

The abs control module (part 68032358ac, ate 25. 0212-1155. 4) on my 2009 Jeep Wrangler unlimited failed at approximately 109,600 miles with stored diagnostic code c2200 (anti-lock brake module internal). The abs, brake, esp/bas, and traction control warning lights illuminate intermittently and the fault is permanently stored. When active, the vehicle loses anti-lock braking, electronic stability control, and traction control; base hydraulic braking remains. This internal module failure is widely reported among 2007–2018 Wrangler jk owners. The replacement part has also been discontinued — my mechanic and a Jeep dealership confirmed it is unavailable nationwide through the mopar network, leaving no new manufacturer replacement available for this safety component. No crash or injury has occurred.
