So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Red brake light came on dash. Dealership investigated & found faulty ABS control Module. Dealership said it is a very common issue and poses a significant safety risk as the anti lock brakes are inoperable.
ABS anti lock break system, intermittent warning on the dashboard, brake and traction lights. Pep boys and auto zone both describe there is an internal malfunction with no specific codes, they can not prescribe a fix as the speed wheel sensors are working ok. Jeep forums say it may not be safe to drive as wheels may lock under hazardous driving conditions.
I have numerous warning lights all on at the same time and constantly chiming as I drive. These are the following lights that are all on: check engine, air bag, ABS, brake, and traction control. I have read past communication which addresses problems. I truly believe none of these issues were addressed prior to my purchase in 2020.
Abs control module.... brake light, abs, and traction lights on... they come on, they go off... Control module is defective. Continual problem... I know of at least 6 other jeeps.... JKUs with the same issues.... lets pray it works when I need it!!
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the braking system erroneously activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. During the failure traction control and ABS sensor warning lights illuminated and remained illuminated. Several minutes later the sensor light disappeared and the vehicle operated as designed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.
On 3 of the 4 wheels, the oem caliber mountain bolts back out of the calibers. Subsequently causing the calibers to come off of the rotor and wedge inside of the wheels destroying the wheels and causing dangerous flat tires while driving
Parking brake failed causing vehicle to roll while someone was working under the vehicle. Dealer is unable to adjust parking brake to remove slack in parking cables and fca is unwilling to replace the defective parking brake lever that has a failed tensioning spring.
Vehicle failed to stop when brake was applied at intersection. Brake pedal was down at floor and it felt as though the ABS was kicking on, also the steering was affected. Note: Brake inspection was done at bill marsh dealership in kalkaska, mi 10 days prior to incident and brakes supposedly were
Parked vehicle on a slope in the mountains with the parking brake engaged. The vehicle is an automatic transmission and was in park. Immediately following all passengers exiting the vehicle, it slowly started rolling away, backwards. It traveled down a 4WD road a small distance before turning off and tumbling down the mountain. Luckily everyone had exited the vehicle and there were no injuries. Though we were parked on a slope, probably around 15 degrees, there was complete failure of both the park gear and the parking brake allowing a rollaway. The parking surfaces was a combination solid rock and dirt.
When attempting to brake, the vehicle would not stop. The brake pedal started pumping like the ABS system kicked in. The brakes worked as expected minutes later (after rear ending the vehicle in front of me).
Brake issues the day I drove it off the lot on Jan 6th 2017. I took it to tuttle click who I purchased it from and they didn't inspect the vehicle I took it back again and they inspected it and found the brake booster damaged which they advised they repaired. I am still having issues along with additional issues and am concerned. This is a vehicle I purchased for my 16 year old. Please help they are refusing to repair or service the vehicle.
I purchased a pre owned certified Jeep Wrangler from tuttle click in tustin ca and the same day I drove it off the lot it had brake issues. I had to come back twice to the dealership to have them to look at it and it turned out the brake booster was not functioning. I still hear noise from the brakes.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the rear brake pads wore out prematurely. In addition, the contact mentioned that while replacing the brakes, he noticed that there was a high pressure oil leak coming from the oil filter housing and as a result, it needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 41,000.
The ABS, stability control and traction lights keep going off and also disabling the speed control while driving. So far Jeep has replaced the ABS sensors and the stability sensor twice. The car is being driven, usually going off on dry pavement. The Jeep also had the computer system shut down the vehicle with a security alert that need a computer update a few months prior.
Incident 1.) on August 17th, 2015 around 8:00 pm I was driving in the left lane of the gsp traveling at approximately 70 mph when my vehicle erroneously accelerated to 80 mph while simultaneously pulling slightly to the left. At first, I thought my carpet had been stuck but I quickly realized that this was not the case. Being I had a manual shift, I immediately was able to shift into neutral. In doing so, the engine was still revving high thus making a loud engine sound (I did not get to see the actual RPM.) I began kicking the side of the gas pedal while trying to pull slightly to the right to keep the vehicle on the road. Eventually the car just went back to normal. This whole process may have been about twenty to thirty seconds long. Incident 2.) on August 18th, 2015 around 6:20 am (not even 12 hours from the first incident above) I was driving in the left lane of the gsp traveling at approximately 70- 75 mph when my vehicle erroneously braked hard as if it was a 'brake check' and the ABS traction control light lit at the same time. It was like I slammed on my brakes only this happened while my foot was on the accelerator. I quickly looked in my rear view mirror and saw the car behind me shoot into the adjacent lane to my right in avoidance of a collision with my rear of the vehicle. This happened quickly and harshly and then it was over. I moved into the right lane and continued to work with caution. I called my local Jeep service center and explained my situation. They were going to schedule me for the earliest appointment of August 31st 2015 but I stressed that this was not good enough as it was a potential serious safety issue to myself and others. I was directed to bring it in tomorrow 8-19-15 in the morning.
I was driving in my parking garage at about 12mph and went to take a sharp right turn. When I went to make the hard right turn, the brakes seemed to lock up and the car did not stop. I could feel the vibrations through my feet and luckily was still able to steer the vehicle clear of the cement wall.
Purchased a new 2014 Jeep Wrangler with manual transmission in September 2013. On July 21,2014 I was parking the vehicle and pulled on the parking brake and heard a popping noise. The parking brake failed and will now not hold the vehicle in place. I took the vehicle into a Jeep dealership to have the part fixed on July 23, 2014 and was notified that the "parking lever" was broken and needed to be replaced. The replacement part is on "backorder" and the dealer could not give me any timeline on when the part would be replaced. Considering this is a manual vehicle, the parking brake is needed to safely operate the vehicle. I have contacted Jeep corporate regarding my issue and have received no response. Upon doing further research, it appears this issue is common with Jeep Wrangler and many people have had incidents where their Jeep has rolled away. This is a safety issue and could eventually result in an injury or fatality. I do not feel safe operating my Jeep Wrangler until Jeep takes action to fix the problem.
