ABS, Traction Control, and Brake lights have been on for more than a year. I have taken it to Jeep Dealership here in Jacksonville, FL and they have continually tried to order the part from Jeep, but are told that the part is. not available at this time. I called Jeep directly and have been told "Part STOCK is under QUARANTINE pending quality / engineering review and inspection. Working to obtain timing on resolve to predict allocation and shipment to DLR to fulfill No firm ETA to provide at this time. Pending response from SPLR / PKG Working to improve." Which is not really an answer. My ABS does not work, and my car cannot be put into cruise control mode without this part being replaced. I feel that my car is not safe without ABS and traction control functioning properly. Part in question is: 68259556AD Module

My antilock brake system failed and made it where I cannot set my cruise control and the part that is required to fix has been on nation wide backorder since September 30 of 2023 this is unacceptable for a safety part to be that hard to replace and if that many are on backorder it should be recalled.

The traction control light and ABS dash lights will come on and the vehicle will jerk and bog down while driving. It is very dangerous and needs to be fixed. I looked on jeep forum to see if I could see what's going on with it and there were a bunch of jeeps that have the same problem.

Take the vehicle to service department repair brakes which had calipers locked up and picked up the vehicle but the brakes went to near the floor took back the vehicle and it is romaine there now to figure out the problem total of 1 week so far also when driving home with it vehicle had to pump the brakes to get stopped
While slowing to a stop from very low speed, on a paved city street, the brakes failed. Pedal was all the way to the floor, and seemed as if the Jeep accelerated slightly, and the ABS was possibly activating and releasing? causing minor damage traffic collision with stopped car in front of me. I am a retired traffic accident investigator, and was not distracted, I could not recreate the same malfunction after the collision.
While pulling out of my driveway I gently pressed the acceleration pedal and the vehicle started to glad the traction control light on the dash and the brakes were applied via the ABS system. The car lost all forward momentum. I thought maybe the car had just broke traction even though I was on a flat surface that was paved and dry. However, when pulling out of the end of my street the same event happened and put me in a compromising position because the vehicle stopped in oncoming traffic that I was attempting to pull across and there was a car coming. Thankfully I was able to get out of the lane of traffic before I was T-boned in the driver side door.
I was driving on a paved road and needed to step on the brakes to avoid striking a vehicle in front of me. My ABS breaks failed to work and I had to swerve to avoid striking the vehicle in front of me. Immediately after this incident my ABS light and slip light illuminated on my dash board and remained on. I have the next available appointment on the 19th of February at fields Jeep in glenview and I am unable to drive this unsafe vehicle until it is repaired. With that being said I need to take off of work without pay until it is repaired.
Last Friday afternoon (12/13/19) I had a significant brake malfunction where I believe the ABS system falsely thought a wheel was locked up and released the brakes or made them much less effective during a normal stop (my interpretation of what happened ' especially after some online research). I was travelling at approx. 45 mph and the light ahead turned yellow and I pressed the brakes to stop. The brakes were ineffective, and I realized I was not going to be able to stop in time before entering the intersection. I decided to run the light and pull over on the shoulder immediately. I then proceeded to drive again in a slow fashion and apply the brakes. I had the same ineffective response. I tried a third time with the same results. I believe the ABS was being engaged falsely. I was alone in the vehicle and no cars were in front of me. I am certain that if I was on a crowded major highway and I was had to stop I would have crashed ' unnecessarily because there was no need for the ABS to engage. The above incident occurred approx. 3 hours away from my house in the vicinity of davenport. I brought the Jeep to posner Jeep who checked the vehicle and re-initialized the ABS and said they didn't find any problem. I bought the Jeep in 2015 from arrigo Dodge in tamarac and have had several issues with the ABS system and sensors. I strongly feel that the issue can happen again and can cause accidents and possibly deaths if not dealt with appropriately.
Saturday morning at approximately 10:45 a.M. driving 4.9 miles to destination I asked as we were approaching parking "do you smell smoke?" I hit the breaks but there was no breaks. And then a combustion of flames came from wheel wells and hood of Jeep. We all jumped out and called 911 and tried to put fire of Jeep out with extinguishers. With no success. Fire department put fire out.
The contact owned a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 25 mph, all the instrument panel gauges illuminated and the brake pedal felt soft. The vehicle slowed down and the contact smelled smoke. The vehicle caught fire on the driver's side of the engine compartment. The contact pulled the vehicle over, opened the door, and the fire spread. The contact had to quickly exit the vehicle. A police report was filed and the fire department extinguished the fire. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and deemed destroyed by the contact's insurance company. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The cause of the failures was unknown. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 59,000.
