2013 Jeep Wrangler Sahara ABS and ESC light illuminated when starting vehicle after sitting overnight. Unable to accelerate as rear brakes being applied by the faulty ABS sensor. Jeep stuttered and would not allow me to accelerate as I was pulling out onto a busy thoroughfare. EXTREMELY dangerous situation. This has to be a safety violation at least. Why is a FAULTY sensor allowed to override the drivers actions? A potentially life threatening situation. AND the kicker - The Jeep dealer charges to replace the factory faulty sensor. I was told by the service department, if I had read my manual, it says not to drive when this condition occurs. I am sorry, my vehicle is essentially broken down on the side of the busiest road in Pinellas County and you want me to take my manual out of the glove box and read it? My bad, I should have thought of that.

I bought my 2013 Jeep Wrangler with 17,000 miles 2 years ago and since then the ABS sensor on the tires have locked up twice without any warning. I had one of the sensors replaced Sept 2014 and now exactly 1 years later I was driving on I-75 outside of Atlanta on Friday afternoon when my brakes completely locked up without any warning. Thank goodness it did not cause an accident, but there is SERIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH A VEHICLE THAT THE BRAKES WILL LOCK UP ON THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR OTHER MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. After finally making it back from Atlanta I was able to drop the car off at the dealership and they want to charge me $230 RIDICULOUS! The last bonus to owning a JEEP is each tire has a sensor so if I continue to drive this junk I have 2 more tires that can lock up with out ANY warning. This is a LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS TO KNOW DO I WANT TO HAVE IT FIXED SO REALLY would you put your kids back in a JEEP?
