When the vehicle is under acceleration the brakes will lock-up causing an abrupt stop. The vehicle then has no acceleration power at the brakes are being applied with no input from the driver. Basically the ABS is engaging brakes without pressure applied to the brake pedal. It is likely and highly probably that this will cause a fatal or near fatal rear end collision. In traffic or when pulling into a lane of traffic it occurs without warning. ****** please address this problem. It is extremely dangerous***

2015 Jeep Wrangler safari right rear signal light work intermittingly. Verified that not power is being transmitted to the right rear signal light from the tipm. Jeep will not warranty because they didn't install the after market towing wiring kit. The kit was installed when the vehicle was new and the problem first started after the vehicle had over 13,000 miles. At the time the problem was very intermitting and was only noticed because the inside signal blinker would suddenly brink at a very fast rate. A few minutes late it was ok. Now if you turn the sign light on, after about 5 seconds, it start blinking very rapidly indicating the right rear signal has failed again. The vehicle now has 16,000 miles and the situation is that the vehicle behind me may or may not know that I am making a right had turn.

2015 Wrangler sahara engine fire I have just purchased 10 days ago a certified 2015 Wrangler sahara certified pre owned from avondale Dodge in phoenix AZ. It was a gorgeous hardtop grey, with 30" tires, mags and an led light bar. I had been looking for 3 months and finally found my dream Wrangler. Still with a temp plate and one tank of gas in it the engine caught fire sitting idle at my work. I had literally drove from the dealer how it happened. I had gone for lunch with co workers and parked in covered parking at my office in phoenix. There was no foul smells and the vehicles performance was normal. I was notified by the facilities managers 2 hours later while in a meeting that fellow employees saw it smoldering through the grill and phoned the fire department. When I got outside the engine compartment was completely charred.

I own a 2015 Jeep Wrangler unlimited 4 door 4X4 automatic transmission. Intermittent loss of power and traction control light comes on... I wrote up a report a couple of weeks ago--but I understand the issue better now...so, my Jeep basically conks out--often at highway speeds...and re-starts in about 1 second...at least it feels like it conks out--all of the dash lights come on as they do when I first start the Jeep...but the traction control light stays on--does not blink and it has remained on since then...also the cruise control will not turn on...I have checked the fuses...and I have run an obdii diagnostic--the fuses are fine and the diagnostic finds nothing wrong I have read that this issue is occuring frequently on Jeep renegade and dealership says nothing is wrong. This occurs while the vehicle is in motion, on streets and on highways...while going straight and while turning...

Vehicle, in motion, on highways, and streets, shuts off. The lights go out, sometimes the radio turns off, the steering goes out, the gauges fall to zero...then, the battery light comes on, and the engine begins operating as usual. It feels as though someone has turned off the key and then turned the key back on.

Blinkers are not working. Took it to Jeep dealer and they said it was total integrated power module and would cost $511 for the part plus labor. The Jeep is less than 2 years old and should not have this type problem. Need a recall.

I was on a road trip traveling 70 mph on I90 with cruise control set when cruise control disengaged 3 times on its own then approximately 100 miles later the power outlet in dash caught fire (behind dash) and spread to the heater/ac control panel. I ended trailering my Jeep home. It is drivable but I took it to dealer to check it out (they called Chrysler (they're sending out their own investigators)). My Jeep just turned a year old and less than 4000 miles.

Defective car door locking systems sporadically fails to properly function. Unlocking mode is inoperable at times. This defect occurs at all times whether the Jeep is stationary or in motion. I have brought the Jeep for repairs numerous times and was advised by the dealership that it could not figure out how to fix this issue. The Jeep has been brought in for service at least four times due to the locking system. On the last service date, I was advised after my Jeep had been in the repair shop for a month, that the inoperable locking door mechanism was a safety feature despite it not appearing as a safety feature in the owner's manual guide. I requested from the manufacture documentation verifying that the inoperable locking mechanism was a safety feature. At this time, manufacture has failed to provide any documentation confirming that the inoperable locking mechanism is a safety feature.

There is a 1 to 2 second lag when pressing the horn button and when the horn actually sounds. With the lag, it is nearly impossible to sound the horn immediately when someone is encroaching into your lane or any other time when the horn needs to be sounded to prevent an accident.
- Harlingen, TX, USA
When pushing the horn button in the middle of steering wheel, nothing happens for about 1/2 to 1 second, then horn sounds. Very dangerous when trying to call attention to a possible accident about to happen.
- San Antonio, TX, USA
Horn delay! when pressing the steering wheel there is a noticeable delay in the horn sounding. At times I have needed the horn to alert someone wandering into my lane and a quick 'hit' to the wheel did not sound the horn. No other vehicle I've owned operates like this. Please get a fix to us owners. My 2013 Wrangler had the same issue. Still in 2015 it exits. Lots of internet chat about this safety issue on the Jeep / Chrysler forums.
- Holly Springs, NC, USA
There is a distinct delay between pressing the horn button (steering wheel) and activation/sounding of the horn. This delay can be over 1 second. This has been brought to the dealership's attention. They claim that it is working properly, when clearly it is not. Many times, I have tried to "beep" the horn to either avoid an incident, or otherwise, and it has never reacted as necessary.

2015 Jeep Wrangler only had 10,000 miles caught on fire and burned total loss just pulled into driveway at residence
- Montgomery, AL, USA
I turned the key to start my vehicle and nothing happened, no lights on the dash, no 'ding', nothing. Dealership mechanics and technicians worked for two days to diagnose the problem and finally discovered that it was a faulty tipm.

About 30 minutes after midnight on a Thursday morning I was awoke by the sound of my dog barking and my sister walking into my room telling me there was a large glow in the driveway. After walking outside, we found my brand new 2015 Wrangler on fire with very large flames erupting from the hood. We quickly woke the rest of my family and rushed frantically to put it out. An hour later, after nearby neighbors arrived to help, and emergency services arrived to put out the fire (local fire department and police) the vehicle fire was doused and the Jeep was hauled off my property to a local towing yard. The fire seemed to have started around the battery area, but the source has yet to be determined. The fire claimed the entire engine compartment, most of the drivers dash board and drivers interior, and the entire front left tire/trim.

I bought the Jeep April 4, 2015. On July 19, 2015 I parked my car in the driveway and 3 hours later at 5:30 my dog work me up and I look outside and the whole front end of the Jeep was in flames. We were able to get the fire out but it was a total loss.
