2011 Jeep Wrangler Brakes Problems

Your ABS (anti-lock brake) control module has failed and needs to be replaced. Jeep has discontinued this part, making it difficult to get a replacement. This is a safety concern since your anti-lock braking system won't function properly.

Your Jeep's anti-lock brake system (ABS) module is malfunctioning, which caused your transmission to get stuck in first gear, making the vehicle difficult to drive. The specific part your Jeep needs is on backorder and requires dealer programming to match your vehicle's VIN when it becomes available. Fixing this will require replacing the ABS module and having the dealer reprogram it to your specific Jeep.

Your ABS warning light came on because a brake system component malfunctioned. The part needed to fix it is no longer available from manufacturers, and multiple repair shops have been unable to locate a replacement despite a year of searching. Since this is part of your braking system, it's a serious safety concern that needs to be addressed. You may need to work with a Jeep specialist or salvage yard to find a used replacement part, or explore alternative braking solutions.

Your ABS module (which controls your anti-lock braking and stability control systems) can fail on 2011 Jeep Wranglers, and replacement parts are no longer available from Jeep or repair shops. When this happens, your ABS and stability control systems stop working, leaving you without these safety features. You'll need Jeep to either produce new ABS modules or make repair components available again.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake) control module has failed, triggering error code C2200, which means your anti-lock braking system isn't working properly. Your dealer doesn't have replacement modules in stock, and you're having difficulty finding the correct part number for your specific 2011 model year on the used market. This is a safety concern for daily driving and family trips since your braking system's anti-lock function is compromised. The fix will require sourcing and installing a compatible ABS control module for your vehicle.

Your ABS control module has failed, which affects your anti-lock braking system. Multiple Jeep dealers have told you this part is on back order and unavailable. You're unable to get the part needed to repair your vehicle's braking system.

Replaced the master cylinder for brakes and it worked for about 8 months then started leaking. More and more fluid was leaking and the brakes became very soft. Decided to replace the master cylinder again and upon inspection of the unit that was failing found that the manufacturing process had damaged the reservoir seals and nipples and it finally gave way to the leak. I tried reaching out to the manufacture but was told I would be contacted but nothing came of it. I have tried to repeatedly get in touch with them to no avail. I fear for anyone else having one of these poor workmanship master cylinders in their vehicle. Could have been a lot worse.

There is a well known design flaw with the Jeep Wrangler JK parking brake. The parking brake handle is comprised of two springs, a clutch spring and a clock-spring, which keep tension on the parking brake lines. When this spring system fails, which it commonly does, the parking brake handle can be pulled all the way to the top without engaging the parking brake and holding the vehicle. The clutch spring has a extended tail which is supposed to be retained behind a small piece of upright stamped metal, the stop, in order to maintain tension on the spring, which enables proper operation of the parking brake lever. However, the piece of stamped metal is so small and inefficient, that the clutch spring tail flips past the stop, and the spring loses all tension, and in turn, the parking brake doesn't work. There are numerous YouTube videos of this well-known design flaw, with various questionable home remedies. Jeep needs to create a safe fix for this issue to ensure a properly working parking brake, which is especially essential for manual shift vehicles such as mine. The photo attached shows the temporary home fix I created with a washer to get the clutch spring tail to remain in the proper position behind the stop.

2011JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA LEFT REAR BRAKE HAS FROZEN WHILE APPLIED AND CAUSED EXCESSIVE HEAT AND PARTS DAMAGED ON 3 SEPARATE OCASSIONS. ENTIRE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WAS REPAIRED AND REPLACED WITH NEW COMPONENTS AFTER EACH FAILURE BUT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED ON ANY SURFACE TO HAPPEN. TIRE DAMAGE AND BRAKE LOSS IS A POSSIBILITY IF DRIVEN WITH THIS ISSUE.

MY EMERGENCY BRAKE KEEPS POPPING LOOSE WHEN ENGAGED. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP TIGHTEN IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT HOWEVER IT NEVER FELT LIKE IT WAS TIGHT. RECENTLY I'VE HAD MORE WORK DONE TO THE JEEP AND I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT CAN NOT BE TIGHTENED, IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. HE SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON WRANGLERS. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE WARRANTIED FOR 2 YEARS. AS FAR AS THE DATE FOR WHICH IT HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVER SINCE WE'VE OWNED IT.

BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE. BRAKES ARE NEW, BUT PEDAL IS SOFT. CREATES A STOPPING ISSUE AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE AND TIME THE STOPPING DISTANCE WITHOUT INCREASING BRAKING PRESSURE. HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, BUT MOST NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS BELOW 30MPH.

ABS BRAKES ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT TOUCHING BRAKES. THIS CAUSES THE ABS LIGHT TO TURN ON AND ALL FOUR WHEELS GO THROUGH THE ANTI-LOCK STUTTER PATTERN AND CAN DRAMATICALLY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL WHEN IT IS UNEXPECTED, PULLING THE VEHICLE HARD IN EITHER DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES YESTERDAY WHILE MAKING A 250 MI ROAD TRIP ON THE WAY BACK HOME. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT ILLUMINATES BRIEFLY EACH TIME AS THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES FOR ROUGHLY 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN RELEASES. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED ROAD SPEEDS WERE BETWEEN 45-65MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH FORCE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR FAILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

I WENT FOR BRAKES PRIOR TO 30,000. VEHICLE HAD 25,000 MILES AND THE ROTOR COULD NOT BE CUT... IT ROTTED THROUGH. I HAD TO REPLACE 1 ROTOR ALL OTHERS WERE FINE. COULD HAVE POSSIBLY AFFECTED MANY OTHER VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 02/19/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED 2 CABLES NEEDED TO BE FIXED ON THE EBRAKE AND THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER I NOTICED MY ROOF LEAKING. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET IT FIXED IT STILL LEAKS RESULTING IN MOLD BUILDUP & FOWL ODOR. MY ENGINE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER EXPECTED OF A NEW JEEP. WHEN I GET ON THE HIGHWAY MY RPM WILL RUN HIGH AND IT TAKES QUITE A WHILE TO GET UP TO SPEED. A COUPLE TIMES WHEN GOING OVER RIDGES OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD, MY WHEEL WILL VIBRATE VIOLENTLY & I HAVE VERY LIMITED CONTROL & MY BRAKES WILL NOT WORK APPROPRIATELY UNTIL THE SHAKING STOPS WHEN I SLOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO RUN WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY INTO A NEIGHBOR'S YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,400. *TR

ON ABOVE DATE, WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 JEEP, ON RT 206 IN UPSTATE NY, MY VEHICLES BRAKES LOCKED UP AT 55MPH THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN SIDNEY NY WHERE NOTHING WRONG WAS FOUND WITH THE JEEP. *TR ON 9-1-11 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GRAND PRIX JEEP IN HICKSVILLE,NY AND A DEFECT WAS DISCOVERED IN BOTH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER. MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR APPROX 7 DAYS. THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BY ME ON 8-23-11.
