2017 Jeep Wrangler Cruise Control Problems

ABS module failed 2 years ago. No traction control, no cruise control, no stability management. This part has been on backorder for 2 years and affects many years. Issue started intermittently about 3 years ago while driving, now the vehicle is extremely unstable in wet conditions. Dealership has diagnosed and said to check back every few months for a solution. Additionally the plastic oil filter housing has been replaced 2 times in 2 years at a cost of $1,200, the second install was covered by parts warranty. Dealers won't install the metal version available on other years that do not have a cracking issue, aftermarket metal versions are available but dealers won't install them.

File has been attached.

DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED OF 63 MPH ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED JEEP LOST SPEED IMMEDIATELY. FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE STUCK SMELLED A TERRIBLE BURNING SMELL

OUR SON WAS DRIVING ON 287 SOUTH IN NEW JERSEY AROUND ON 7-21-2019. IT WAS A HOT DAY. HE HAD BEEN DRIVING HOME FROM THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES. HIS SPEED WAS JUST UNDER 70 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR WOULDN'T MAINTAIN ITS SPEED. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE MADE A SOUND LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE RED THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. HE PULLED OVER SAFELY AND STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. HE WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO START IT AGAIN... WHEN HE TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON THE RED LIGHT WAS OFF AND HE DROVE HOME SLOWLY IN THE RIGHT LANE WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY WE TOOK IT TO THE JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY TRIED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, AND WE TOOK IT HOME. WE ARE SCARED, HOWEVER, TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY NOW!

WHILE I WAS PARKING IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKING SPACE, THE CAR ACCELERATED ITSELF SO DRASTICALLY WHILE I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. I HIT THE BREAK SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION. THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING WHEN I TURNED IT OFF. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AS NO ONE EXPECT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE ITSELF. JUST BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURE YOU CAN NOTICE HOW FAR THE CAR WENT, HOW MUCH DAMAGE IT CAUSED BY THIS STRANGE ACCELERATION AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW FAST THE CAR ACCELERATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ICONS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING TO THEIR DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING; HOWEVER, AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH TRONCALLI CHRYSLER JEEP (818A ATLANTA RD, CUMMING, GA 30040). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP (RANGING FROM SMALL POT HOLE TO LARGER POT HOLE) ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60+ MPH, MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. SPEED DECELERATES VERY QUICKLY AND I HAVE TO GET IT UP TO SPEED QUICKLY TO AVOID GETTING REAR ENDED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I HIT ANY KIND OF SMALL BUMP AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED. STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 5000 MILES ON JEEP AND STILL DOES IT AT 17000 MILES.
