SERVICE BRAKES
For the last 1.5 years the ABS control module light, check engine light, and the traction control light is on. I have taken my jeep to multiple dealers and mechanic shops for this issue and I am repeatedly informed the ABS control module is not in production. It is the only vehicle I own and I fear for my safety. I need to replace this part but the manufacturer is not selling to the dealer or mechanic shops. Can you help me find this part?

SERVICE BRAKES
December 2024 the abs module failed on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Dropped it off at the mechanic and it is now May 2025 with no help from the manufacturer. This is a severe safety issue with the brakes locking up and causing the jeep to not be functionable. I keep seeing recalls for other years makes and models. I need someone to help with a recall on my jeep's abs module and to get a solustion to get my jeep back functioning safely again. I can not drive it at this moment because of this issue.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Brakes are sticking causing extreme heat and damage to pads, rotors and calipers and I'm afraid there is a fire hazard as well. The brake also occasionally engage during acceleration at around 45 mph and cause a severe wobble that could also be a safety issue as the vehicle becomes hard to control. Dealership claimed the problem was a single brake line that was replaced, but the problem is still occurring and now they claim it is a second brake line but my mechanic assures me it is a faulty ABS module and the online reports indicate this is a real problem with jeep wranglers.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
This vehicle along with many others jeep wranglers have an issue with the abs control module. It has a code for internal processor fault. Some days the vehicle is fine and others it acts up and it won’t shift gears or the abs system activates by itself or the speedometer doesn’t work. This has been going on for almost a year now because there is no parts aviable to fix it. The dealer keeps saying it’s in engineering review but they been saying that for almost a year now. That’s how long mine has been acting up. My wife won’t even drive it with the kids in the car because she doesn’t know when it is going to act up. Luckly I only work 5 miles from my house so I’ve been driving it. If they know there’s an issue with these modules they should be doing something faster to fix it or there should be a recall. Something needs to be done.

The ABS control module has malfunctioned which lead to the ABS, traction control, and parking brake light coming on while driving. This is a safety concern due to a malfunction with these systems. These systems are meant to help control the vehicle when either sliding or braking quickly. An OBD scan tool was used, which read the code C2200 to confirm the malfunction.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
In December of 2024, my jeep felt like a ghost was pressing my brakes. It got worse over time despite any troubleshooting we did and replacing sensors did not work. It went inot limp mode and would not drive out of second gear. Took it to my mechanic to find there is a national issue and back order problem with all ABS modules for Mopar/Jeep. I have read many jeep forums online and this issue started in 2020. As of now since January there is no true ETA on the replacement part. My jeep sits while paying for it and unable to repair. We sought a company to try to rebuild the old one and they can't either since the replacement chips are back ordered as well. Luckily I noticed the issue while driving slow on a dirt road, however, this issue could have pulled the vehicle into oncoming traffic or off the side of the road. Jeep has not issued a recall or any help for the ones that are not inoperable. Someone needs to step up and take responsibility for this issue. There are thousands of people involved from what I have read. Please help!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in the garage, the contact became aware of an oil leak. The contact stated that the leak was small. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine oil cooler needed to be replaced. Additionally, the contact had previously replaced the thermostat at an independent mechanic due to the parts being on backorder. The contact stated that the failure might be due to the cold temperatures. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
While driving the ABS would activate the left front wheel and pulls to left. Previous all of the wheel sensors had been replaced. Took to dealership first time and could not duplicate problem. Problem happened again and return vehicle to dealership. The ABS, traction and possible another light was on. Took back to dealership and they did flow chart and found the ABS control module was bad. The part was on national back order. Car was non drivable from March 25, 2024, till February 21, 2025, when part came in. This dealership is in a small town, and they had approx. 8-10 vehicles waiting for the same ABS problem (module). This to me is a very hazardous problem because this happen while on highway driving 55 mph with a single mom and her child, thank goodness there was not an accident. NOTE: Do have invoices to send not available at this time. Dealership York Automotive CDJRF, 1765 US 231 Crawfordsville, IN 47933

SERVICE BRAKES
ABS Contol Module Failed in December 2023. Jeep did not have the part at the time, I was told it was on engineering hold. Fast forward to March 2025 and the part is still not available from any dealer and they cant tell me when it will be available. I am forced to drive the vehicle with no antilock brake feature and Jeep will not repair, provide part, or provide a loaner vehicle after over a year of waiting. If something happens, I will definitely bring a lawsuit against them. I know that this is a very common problem and there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Jeep owners that are in the same boat as me. If we can't rely on ya'll to take some action, what else are we left to do???
