2014 Jeep Wrangler Cruise Control Problems

Our ABS Control module has failed. p/n 68145835AE. It's available at any time to inspect. The ABS system does not function. In a rain or snow situation this could cause severe harm to us and others on the road. Our local service center that works on a wide array of Jeep Wrangler products says they have other customers with the same problem on this specific model. It is also reported substantially on online Jeep enthusiast forums. The unit in our Jeep has been looked at by our service center. There are warning lights on the dash indicating the ABS is non-functional. This failed in May 2024. The ABS module also controls speed control and that also is no longer working. It has been this way for over a year. Other Jeep owners with this similar issue have reported the same issue. This appears to be a systemic issue that Jeep is very aware of but has taken no action to correct. The cost if I want to have this repaired is $1,200 plus labor.

The antilock brake module shorted out causing the line to melt and shut down my vehicle

HI I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE ACCELERATED GOT STUCK WHILE DRIVING FOR A FEW SECONDS . I APPLIED THE BREAK BUT ACCELERATED KEPT ON GIVING THE ENGINE GAS WHEN I RELEASE THE BREAK THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE FORWARD AND FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 10SECONDS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WENT BACK TO NORMAL . THERE WAS A LIGHTING VOLT THAT CAME ON ON THE DASHBOARD AS A ISSUE AND THE LIGHT DISAPPEARED WHEN THE ACCELERATION PETAL CAME BACK UP .

UPON STARTUP, IN PARK AND STATIONARY, ENGINE REVS TO 4000-5000 RPM, TURN IGNITION TO OFF AND RESTART, ENGINE REVS TO 4000-5000 RPM, TURN IGNITION TO OFF, WAIT 30 SECONDS RESTART EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE. BOUGHT NEW IN 2014, HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN PASSING GEAR THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK AND ACCELERATES CONTINUALLY WHILE HAVING TO KEEP LEFT FOOT ON BRAKE PUMPING GAS WITH RIGHT FOOT TO DISENGAGE THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN A MONTH. EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS!

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 2014 , THIS WEEK THE ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURN ON AND I LOST ENGINE POWER, IT JUST RAN IDLE. IT CAN NOT GO MORE THAN 2000 RPM. I TURN IT OFF AND ON AND IT WAS EVERYTHING OK. ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT IS STILL ON ALL THE TIME. THE TIRE PRESSURE STILL IN 35 PSI.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 51,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON 6/23/16, I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I ACCELERATED TO MERGE INTO THE LEFT LANE AND THEN, AFTER LETTING UP ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT THE SAME RATE OF SPEED. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED AS EXPECTED BUT I HEARD A DISTINCT "POPPING" NOISE, SEEMINGLY AS IF THE GAS PEDAL HAD POPPED BACK INTO PLACE. JUST A FEW MILES LATER, WHILE DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE, I ACCELERATED A BIT TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. THE ACCELERATOR "STUCK" A SECOND TIME, AND SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE RESPONDED AGAIN BY SLOWING BUT THIS TIME, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN TO KEEP PACE WITH TRAFFIC, THE GAS PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY NON-RESPONSIVE (I.E., THE PEDAL HAD SEEMED TO FALL TO THE FLOOR AND PRESSING IT DID NOT RESULT IN ANY FURTHER ACCELERATION). I PULLED ONTO THE LEFT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP VERBALLY TOLD ME COMPUTER FAULT CODE READ AS "ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN CORRELATION" AND SAID THE GAS PEDAL MODULE WAS READING INCORRECTLY. SERVICE ADVISOR ADMITTED TO HAVING SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. WHEN PICKING UP VEHICLE, SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT PROBLEM WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE DIRT ON/BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL. THERE IS NO WAY IT WAS CAUSED BY THIS, AS JEEP HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN OFF-ROAD, NO ONE DRIVES IT WITH MUDDY SHOES, ETC. ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AND PCM WAS UPDATED TO THE MOST CURRENT SOFTWARE LEVEL. PREVIOUSLY ON THIS VEHICLE, THE SENTRY KEY WAS REPLACED AS WAS THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AS WAS THE FRONT STABILIZER/SWAY BAR. NOT SURE IF THE STUCK ACCELERATOR IS DUE TO A COMPUTER/SOFTWARE GLITCH OR A MECHANICAL FAILURE. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT ISSUES WITH "STUCK" ACCELERATORS ON THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE ARE NOT UNCOMMON. INVOICE ATTACHED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES IN EITHER CRASH. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120.

WAS TRAVELING IN OUR 3 WEEK OLD 2014 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR AUTOMATIC IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. HEADING WEST ON A REMOTE TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN APPROX. 84 DEGREE DRY CONDITIONS. SPEED LIMIT IN THIS AREA IS 55. I CAME UPON A FARM TRUCK WHO WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 45-50 MPH. WHEN CONDITIONS WERE SAFE, I PULLED INTO THE ONCOMING LANE AND PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE VERY HARD TO PASS THE FARM VEHICLE IN A SAFE DISTANCE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON BUT WAS CURRENTLY NOT IN USE. AS I WAS ALMOST AROUND THE FARM VEHICLE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT FULL THROTTLE. I FIRST VIEWED THE ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO SEE IF IT WAS CLEAR WHILE AT THE SAME TIME I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE. I ALSO TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL COMPLETELY OFF. AN ERROR MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH HOWEVER DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES I DID NOT SEE WHAT IT INDICATED. THE BRAKING HELPED BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT FULL THROTTLE. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT THE JEEP REACHED A SPEED OF 100 WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I THEN PREPARED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL BUT FIRST REACHED AND GRABBED THE FLOOR MAT AND YANKED IT AS HARD AS I COULD TO PULL IT AWAY FROM THE GAS PEDAL AS I WAS STILL UNSURE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE ISSUE FELT MORE LIKE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE THEN A GAS PEDAL CAUGHT ON A FLOOR MAT. HOWEVER THIS DID SEEM TO STOP THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. ONCE HOME I VERIFIED THAT I COULD NOT SEE IN ANY WAY HOW THE FLOOR MAT WOULD HOLD DOWN THE GAS PEDAL AS THE GAS PEDAL SNAPS BACK WITH QUITE A BIT OF FORCE WHEN PUSHING THE FLOOR MAT IN FRONT OF THE PEDAL. THIS VERY WELL MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE FLOOR MAT HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE TO DOCUMENT WHAT HAPPENED. *TR
