Abs, traction control, and brake lights stay on I took it to the dealer they told me it was internal failure on the abs module I can't afford 1200$ to fix it I'm in a jeep club this is a common problem it should be recalled and fixed for free it's a safety hazard. And you lose power you can't even pass another car when all the lights are illuminated.

I have been unable to get an ABS Control Module for my jeep for over a year. This is affecting my vehicle breaking system putting my life in danger as well as others on the road. I have contacted Jeep directly and have only been told it is under review. I have taken it to the dealer and 2 different mechanics only to be told they cannot get that part. I have been told driving is relatively safe, I just won't be able to control a sudden breaking stop! I cannot belive this being allowed to happen. I am not only concerned for my own vehicle but how many others are on the road with the same issue. I am hoping to file a complaint with NTSA to force jeep to resolve this issue.

ABS anti lock break system, intermittent warning on the dashboard, brake and traction lights. Pep boys and auto zone both describe there is an internal malfunction with no specific codes, they can not prescribe a fix as the speed wheel sensors are working ok. Jeep forums say it may not be safe to drive as wheels may lock under hazardous driving conditions.

I have numerous warning lights all on at the same time and constantly chiming as I drive. These are the following lights that are all on: check engine, air bag, ABS, brake, and traction control. I have read past communication which addresses problems. I truly believe none of these issues were addressed prior to my purchase in 2020.

Parked vehicle on a slope in the mountains with the parking brake engaged. The vehicle is an automatic transmission and was in park. Immediately following all passengers exiting the vehicle, it slowly started rolling away, backwards. It traveled down a 4WD road a small distance before turning off and tumbling down the mountain. Luckily everyone had exited the vehicle and there were no injuries. Though we were parked on a slope, probably around 15 degrees, there was complete failure of both the park gear and the parking brake allowing a rollaway. The parking surfaces was a combination solid rock and dirt.

Brake issues the day I drove it off the lot on Jan 6th 2017. I took it to tuttle click who I purchased it from and they didn't inspect the vehicle I took it back again and they inspected it and found the brake booster damaged which they advised they repaired. I am still having issues along with additional issues and am concerned. This is a vehicle I purchased for my 16 year old. Please help they are refusing to repair or service the vehicle.
