Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 433)
Service Brakes →6 issues
Your ABS module has failed, causing the anti-lock braking system to apply brakes to wheels unnecessarily, which creates steering problems, overheated brake pads, and vibrations in all four wheels. The replacement ABS module is on back order with no parts available in the U.S., making your vehicle unable to pass safety inspections and unsafe to drive. Fixing this issue requires replacing the defective ABS module, but the part is currently unavailable through normal channels.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake) module may be failing, which could cause unexpected braking issues and loss of control while driving. The part is on permanent backorder and unavailable from Jeep, creating a safety hazard. Addressing this will likely require replacing the ABS module, though availability may be a challenge.

Your ABS (anti-lock braking) module is failing, which triggers a C2200 error code and lights up the ABS, Brake, and Traction Control warning lights on your dashboard. This prevents your anti-lock braking system from functioning properly, which is a safety concern for braking performance. Fixing this will likely require replacing the ABS module, which your dealership may need to order.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake system) warning light is illuminated on your dashboard. When you took it to a mechanic, they referred you to the dealership, where staff discovered that the required ABS module is not currently available from the manufacturer. This means getting the system repaired may require waiting for parts to be back in stock or finding an alternative solution.

Your ABS (anti-lock braking system) failed, which caused your engine to lose power and prevented acceleration. The dealer has indicated this part has been under engineering review for 2 years without resolution. Fixing this will likely require ABS module replacement or reprogramming once Jeep completes their engineering review.

Your ABS (anti-lock braking system) module has failed and needs replacement, but Jeep says the part has been unavailable for over two years. Without ABS, your brakes are harder to control in wet conditions like rain, which increases stopping distance and reduces traction control. The repair will require replacing the ABS module once parts availability is resolved.

Vehicle Speed Control,service Brakes →3 issues
Your vehicle's ABS module (which helps prevent wheel lockup during braking) is failing and has no available repair solution.

Your Wrangler's Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module, which manages your anti-lock brakes and stability control, has become unavailable from the manufacturer due to production being discontinued. If your ABS module fails, you may have difficulty finding a replacement part, as Stellantis has not restocked this component and it remains on indefinite backorder. This could leave your vehicle without ABS and stability control functionality until a replacement becomes available. A fix would require sourcing and installing a replacement ABS module, either from a third-party supplier or waiting for manufacturer restock.

Air Bags,unknown Or Other,engine →1 issue
You purchased a used 2015 Jeep Wrangler with an open safety recall for a defective Takata passenger airbag inflator that the dealership never disclosed to you, even though the recall was documented on the inspection report the day you bought it. The airbag inflator has been identified by the manufacturer as capable of exploding and sending metal fragments into the vehicle interior, which could seriously injure or kill occupants. Additionally, your vehicle overheated four days after purchase with a completely empty coolant system, indicating pre-existing mechanical problems. The recall needs to be addressed by having the defective airbag inflator replaced by a dealership.

Service Brakes,engine →1 issue
Your Jeep's ABS module is producing an error code (C2200) that puts the vehicle into limp mode when you accelerate hard, reducing power and responsiveness. This caused a near-miss collision because the ABS system isn't working properly, which means your brakes may skid and you could lose control of the vehicle during hard braking. The ABS module will likely need to be diagnosed with a scanner and either reprogrammed or replaced.
