ABS module has gone bad and Jeep Chrysler dealership has told me that they only have nine parts in the nation to replace it and the engineers are not confident in the replaced part, they won-??t know when the part would be available and I was also told that if I continue to drive it I could potentially damage other components of the Jeep Wrangler. I was also told by personal mechanic that I shouldn-??t drive it as I don-??t not have Anti lock breaks..

While I was attempting to park my jeep across the street from my grandson's school to pick him up at 3:18, as I proceeded to pull in front of the apron so I could backup to a parking spot. In the process of going forward before I got a chance to put the jeep in reverse my brakes failed, hitting a parked car in front of me. I had my jeep towed to Old Center Island Auto Service. The mechanic removed a defective power brake booster and replaced it with a new one.

Car surges at times when braking. Increased brake pressure to stop vehicle causes engine to accelerate rapidly when pressing hard to stop vehicle. Dangerous situation. This has happened numerous times when trying to stop at a traffic signal.

Wednesday may 11th approximately 5pm. Was sunny and dry. Turned out of mcdonalds driveway. All of a sudden my brake pedal went to the floor. There was very slight pressure just before it bottomed out. I was lucky no one was in front of me. I could not stop. No dash lights came on. I coasted to stop at gas station. While I waited for a tow truck I started car to move into a better spot. Using parking brake. I then just started pumping brakes. And all of a sudden pressure came back and brakes worked as normal. I immediately towed jeep to dealership. They could not recreate the issue. Everything works fine.

I own a 2013 Wrangler Unlimited. Since new, the parking brake has been ever-more-difficult to engage. On October 26, I was using the Jeep around my property and had to exit the vehicle while in neutral (auto transmission) and attempted to engage the parking brake. If the handle is pulled slowly, SOMETIMES the brake engages enough to hold. In this particular instance, I pulled the handle slowly, felt some resistance to indicate the brake engaged, and exited the vehicle. The brake then relieved enough pressure to allow the vehicle to roll back into a hole form where a stump had been. Fortunately I was not injured and the Jeep did not collide with anything. This emphasized to me a previously-known safety issue with the product. The design of the brake lever is supposed to be self-adjusting, however in reality, the clutch mechanism to do this allows slippage to the point where the handle hits the backstop prior to engaging the brakes on many Wrangler JKs that are only a few years old. This is a well documented problem in JK forums and many owners have created workarounds to force the mechanism to maintain tension on the parking brake cables. I have not done this to mine, and consequentially have not had a reliably functioning for years. For obvious reasons, this flaw in the parking brake design (especially on vehicles offered with manual transmissions puts public safety at risk. Ilderton Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Winston Salem failed this vehicle on safety inspection in 2020 as a result of this, but I did not authorize a diagnostic investigation, as I was already aware of the problem. I was able to jiggle the parking brake enough to cause it to engage enough to pass inspection. Within 1 - 2 pulls, the brake was completely unusable again. I have checked parking brake shoe to drum clearance and verified that the rear is adjusted correctly for engagement. The problem only exists in the design of the lever. No warning lamps related to the lever/integrated switch.

All four brake rotors seized up. Traveling from work on secondary roads at speeds between 30 and 45 mph. I was smelling hot brakes. When trying to stop the Jeep pulled hard to the right, almost uncontrollably. When I got home I touched the wheels and all were super hot to the touch. Had the vehicle brought in for repair. Service reported all four calipers show signs of being seized up. Pads and rotors show damage from overheating. Needed to replace all four rotors, calipers and pads.

In order for emergency brake to actually work it has to be pulled upwards with greater force than should be reasonably expected. This presents the likelihood of the vehicle rolling when parked on an incline, particularly for those with standard transmissions.

After sitting idle all night, started vehicle in morning and ABS and ESC lights came on. I was unable to accelerate as the rear brakes were being engaged by a faulty sensor. I shifted into neutral and back to drive and lights went out and back to normal operation. I pulled out onto the main thoroughfare and the Jeep stuttered upon acceleration and felt like it was losing power before it stopped. Both lights came back on. After shifting back to neutral, I was able to get back onto the street and to the dealer for service. This is the second time this condition occurred in this vehicle. In July of 2016 the right rear wheel speed sensor was replaced by fitzgerald Jeep in clearwater. Codes C1035 and C1049 were present at the time of the repair. This faulty sensor could have caused an accident with injuries, at best, or a fatality/fatalities at worst. The computer program that allows a faulty sensor to override the drivers action is a malfunction that needs to be addressed.

I was driving with my children in the Jeep to a dental appointment driving 45 miles per hour. I hear a cling clunk sound and ABS light comes on and then a loud bang and Jeep does not want to go. I pulled over right away I smell a awful smell. So I shut my truck off. Called my husband and leave my truck and get a ride to dental appointment. We called a tow truck next day to have it towed to auto repair shop. I get a call two days later stating my emergency break system had faulted and engaged it's self snapping my axel, speed sensor and break rotor. All of these things were ripped and everything will need to be replaced due to emergency break system failure. If I had been going on the high way at high way speeds I could have flipped my vehicle with me and my children. This issue needs to be replaced by the manufacturer do to it being faulty emergency brake system.

When I'm driving the Jeep, it does not matter if I going up or going down on a hill and I apply the brakes and stop, they stay applied and not released.

I parked the Jeep, set the emergency brake and put the vehicle in gear, with engine off. While inside the business lobby, the Jeep started to roll backward into a busy roadway. The Jeep gain speed due to the incline. And I desperately attempted to stop the Jeep, before it could roll-away onto the busy roadway and cause injuries or fatalities. I was ran over by my Jeep ' during my desperate and unsuccessfull attempt to stop the roll-away Jeep. The Jeep stoped, after crashing into an electrical utilities pole at the curb-side. I suffered severe damage to my leg requiring immediate emergency medical attention. The Jeep was taken to a Chrysler dealer, for an inspection. While the Jeep was in the dealership, Chrysler sent out a private contractor to inspect the vehicle. As part of the inspection, the occupant restraint controller (orc) crash-data was retrieved. I made several requests to Chrysler, for a copy of the final inspection report. And was repeatedly denied the (orc) data, retrieved from my Jeep Wrangler. The Chrysler dealer had to replace the front axle of the Jeep. The out-of-pocket cost for the repair was $6,859.92. Also, I had the Jeep taken to different Jeep-Chrysler dealer, for a second inspection. After performing diagnostics, the certified mechanic confirmed that the emergency brakes, while engaged ' would not hold the vehicle. The E-brake was replaced at out-of-pocket cost of $1,138.41. The failure mileage, for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler rubicon was 46,600. The 2011 NHTSA database posted Chrysler recall no. B03also, for Jeep Wrangler roll aways resulting from parking brake assembly failures. However, the probem has not been corrected and continues after recalls. This is a serious, and very dangerous safety issue ' in that you can see these vehicles turning into un-guided missles. And doing damage to people and property, as a result of parking brake failures.

2013 Jeep Wrangler had 72,000 highway miles, never towed or beat on Jeep. While driving at 70mph on highway car suddenly swerved violently to right and left multiple times, almost flipped over. Had it towed to belle tire and found right rear axel went out, affected calipers and brakes all had to be replaced. I was less than 2 months out of powertrain, called they wont reimburse since it was not repaired at Jeep dealer. The car ABS/tracktion control lights went on, hardly went forward due to brakes locked up and smelled like it was burning, actual right rear rim too hot to touch, wouldn't even move in gear unless gassed it. Never had a warning, rear brakes had just been replaced two months earlier.

When you pull onto the road it starts to hit the brakes and when you try to hit the gas it still hits the gas then the ABS comes on than the anti slip comes on and than the other one comes on like you are going down the hill comes on. It keeps up hitting my brakes than for a little while it lets up off my brakes but the lights stay on.
