The ABS control module is reporting a DTC code C2200 indicating an ABS module internal failure. The instrument panel warning lights for esp, bas, abs and the traction control are all continuously lit. This problem is continuous but has not been confirmed or inspected by a dealer. independent service center, police or insurance representatives. It is, however, a well known issue reported on Jeep owner forums as an ABS Dashboard Christmas Tree. I have not yet had an ABS related accident but it is extremely concerning that there is an internal ABS module failure that could cause an accident. I have attempted to replace the ABS Module, part 68067458AA, but I am told this part is not available due to a hold for engineering review. I was told the engineering review should be completed by March 20 but until then I am unable to obtain a new replacement part.
When starting the vehicle the check engine light comes on. Including the low tire pressure sensor comes on. The tires have been repaired yet the pressure system still says low. The car when shortly after it's been turned on only going several miles an hour and staying about 2RPMs starts to kick forward in a abrupt motion as if it wants to accelerate. Sometimes it's a hit or miss to start the car so I have to put it in neutral to start it. In conclusion everytime the vehicle starts to move from a complete stop or braking a loud clanking noise repeats a 2-3 times (clank, clank, clank) continues then stops after driving continually, then repeats after every stop that is made. I'm not sure what to make of it but my guess it has to do with the braking system even though no warning lights for brakes have come up.
Airbag, brakes, traction control inoperative with c2200-00 code for internal brake control fault. Vehicle has 58k miles garage kept, now has no safety components working. It is a known problem apparently all over the internet. Why isn't this being addressed.
Code C2116 - ABS Pump Motor Supply low. This error code has been occurring for the past year. I have no ABS brake function, no air bag function, and no traction control function. The part from Jeep Chrysler, ABS Module, has been on back order for 1 year. I believe it is dangerous for me to be driving this vehicle. One year on back order, please do something and help.
While driving vehicle at approx 45mph in the rh lane approaching an intersection with an illuminated green right-turn arrow(my lane), a vehicle in the same lane, traveling same direction, suddenly stopped at the green light at the intersection. I immediately applied hard pressure to brake pedal, only to have it slam straight to the floor-board with very little braking action. I was able to quickly down-shift and apply parking brake in time to avoid collision with stopped vehicle. I carefully drove vehicle to my home, approx 3 miles from incident intersection. Upon inspection I noted brake master-cylinder empty (it was topped-off to "max" line when checked evening prior), and hydraulic fluid sprayed all-around right (passenger)-side front inner wheel and puddled/dripping at banjo-bolt. You-tube research found a similar situation with a Jeep 2 model years older than mine. Link to video: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=nvdzj874xum&list=pldw3mie2V4tcrduua9D8rbclqv8qa1mfb&index=2&T=1230S when I removed the right brake hose assembly, the metal crimp-on fitting to the flex-hose was completely disintegrated by corrosion. I replaced the left brake hose assembly as well, and found nearly as-severe corrosion on the metal crimp-on fittings though no leakage had occurred from there during this incident. See attachments for digital pics taken throughout the repair process, and excerpts from the maintenance logbook I maintain on this vehicle. I have another, newer (2014) Jeep Wrangler that has the same flexible brake-hose installation at build. I intend to remove/replace those hoses at next scheduled inspection, in approx 6-8 weeks. I will report findings and link to this report. Please contact me at the email/phone provided, or at my work email: [xxx] I believe likelihood of like-failures is high, severity could be catastrophic.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA campaign numbers: 16V290000 (service brakes, air, electronic stability control) and 18V021000 (air bags). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time to repair the vehicle. Jake sweeney Chrysler Jeep (85 w kemper rd, cincinnati, oh 45246) confirmed that parts were not available to perform the recall repairs. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact also stated that an unknown warning indicator was illuminated. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.
The front brake lines have an insulator that covers the hard pipe to rubber connection. This insulator allows moisture to collect between it and the metal fitting that connects the two different line materials. The connection rots through and then begins to leak. The rear lines do not have this insulator on that connection and they are in perfect condition. The insulator appears to be the cause of the premature failure. I noted the loss of brake fluid while doing other maintenance on the Jeep.
All the break lights came on at one time (esp, bas, ABS) and the traction control will not go off. I was slowing down at a stop sign in a school parking lot. No rain or other weather events occured, on dry pavement
Took the vehicle in for a yearly inspection and garage told me there was a problem with the brake lines rubbing on the tires when the wheels were turned all the way. Mechanic showed me the wear and asked if I put any after market parts on the vihicle. I confirmed everything was stock. Told me there should be a recall being this was a manufacturing problem where the brake lines were routed too close to the tires and almost wore through the brake lines. Took it to the dealership to have lines rerouted and no recalls were issued for this problem. Did some research and found other similar complaints on several Jeep forums. Dealership said they had never heard of such problems.
The emergency brake on my 2010 Wrangler does not hold the vehicle on any sort of incline. The Virginia code for a parking/ emergency brake states that it must stall the vehicle in 2nd gear (it does) but the brake will not maintain the position of the vehicle on the slightest incline. I'm concerned that the vehicle may roll away into the road and cause harm to others. Furthermore, if I were to be in the vehicle then I may become trapped with it rolling in to traffic. This is a common issue on the early 2007-2017 body style Wrangler and needs attention before it causes serious harm.
First, I was driving on the highway and hit the brakes, when the vehicle locked all the brakes completely, the vehicle started skidding almost causing an accident because I lost control of the vehicle. A few weeks later, I was driving up the hill when all the dash lights lighted up, I stopped the vehicle and turned it off but they did not went off. I went to the dealer and they told to replace the ABS module (68067458aa) costing $215 plus $160 on labor. They also told me that a few customers are complaining about the same issue. The vehicle is also turning off the headlights at night. Right know the problem is intermittent. The check engine code is B162F, right low beam control. According to the dealer, the tipm needs to be replaced, it cost around $400. When I looked in the internet, there are several cases of that issue since 2010.it creates a possible hazard driving at night.
Wasn't due for an oil change for 3000 miles I use synthetic rod blew while on freeway with my daughter in the car. No brakes no warning no steering we could have died! Chrysler turning their head! mechanic says it's a defect in engine and never seen an engine blow at 64,000 miles and still have all proper levels of fluids! I was going 65 miles an hour on a freeway thank god it was a straight stretch and I was in the right lane, had there been a turn or had we have been on a bridge we would have died or seriously injured someone else!
I was driving my Jeep to work when all the sudden white smoke entered the cap. I rolled the window down to vent the smoke and saw flames at my feet. I pulled the Jeep over to the side of the highway just in time for the brakes to fail. After putting the emergency brake on so it would roll into another car I jumped out of the car just in time to see the flames eat the hood of my Jeep and work its way back through my entire vehicle. I watched as the fire department put out the fire over and over and over. Since it had a full tank of gas my Jeep was distroyed. I put $70,000 of parts into my Jeep and it was all eaten by a fire in 20 minutes. I got the oil changed done at the dealership and was never told about a recall. I never recieved any piece of mail notifying me of any recall. I didn't know about the fire issues until I started to research what the problem might have been. The fire department said that they will investigate it but that there really isn't anything left of the Jeep to find the origin. I have video of the fire when it was occuring as well as pictures of the before, during, and after the fire....updated 09/22/15 updated 12/11/2017
While the vehicle was driven about 20mph, first on line to a traffic light and on about 20 T0 25 feet before the intersection and light was red, and when the brake was applied it did not stop and the vehicle kept moving and it was stopped by the emergency brake. A burning smell got inside the vehicle and people stopped yelling that the vehicle was on fire. When the hood was opened and the fire put out we notices that the fire started at the brakes pump sensor. It burned all the wiring around there to include plastic cover of left hand side wheel, the steering column rubber joint, sensors, the hood and other parts in that side.
On the 2010 Jeep Wrangler (jku) dashboard, the airbag warning light, ABS, esp and traction control lights flash on every other minute with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags.this has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2010 Jeep Wrangler (jku) owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2010 Jeep Wrangler (jku) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Daimler Chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying.
The emergency brake failed when I applied it while parking the vehicle and it began to roll away. The vehicle is a manual transmission and this poses a severe danger when parking the vehicle.
I have had several big issues with my Jeep in the last month and a half. First my brake caliper and piston were frozen due to the fluids not flowing properly according to my mechanic. 2 weeks later my airbag light came on and stayed on brought it into the dealership and they needed to replace my clock spring and the third issue was my engine light that came on and then my car would not start. I needed to replace my alternator which was faulty and then drained my battery which I also had to replace. These three issues have cost me over $1000 dollars in a short period of time. I was wondering if any of them are a issue with my make and model and year of my vehicle. This is becoming I safety issue in my eyes. Especially my brakes and airbag issue.
Vehicle was parked in front of a house. I left the vehicle in 1st gear then set the parking brake and turned the wheels into the curb to prevent roll back and I got out of the vehicle. I went inside and the vehicle rolled down a hill and into a house. When the police came they found it still in gear and the emergency brake was still on.
