“The ABS module has internal failure. Jeep doesnt make the part anymore, a used parts salvage yard i was quoted $1100 as a special order part they might not even be able to get, a few module repair companies wont repair the jeep ABS module because they cant get the parts, and a couple that quoted me to repair it the cost was $2K to $3k to make the repair here in Tampa. How can Jeep stop making the part that you ABSOLUTELY NEED TO STOP YOUR VEHICLE SAFELY??!! How is this not a SAFETY ISSUE that people have to drive their vehicle, not knowing if it WILL OR WILL NOT POSSIBLY HIT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IF THE VEHICLE HAS NO ANTILOCK BRAKES?? Makes driving in the rain hazardous, jeep slides on wet roads. Also will put your transmission into LIMP MODE, then the Jeep just doesnt want to move.. how is DODGE, Jeep, Mopar, NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THIS?? We buy a jeep and then FORCED TO DRIVE A DEFECTIVE AUTOMOBILE BECAUSE THEY DONT MAKE THE PARTS ANYMORE TO REPAIR IT??? Make it make sense!!!!”
“I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler with 180,000 miles. I never off road the vehicle, but after driving on a dirt road, the stability control kicked in during a turn.

Connecting the JScan app to the vehicle, the ABS module is completely unresponsive and the vehicle gives a C2200 error code. There were no symptoms of this issue before this event. This vehicle is available to be inspected any time. Lack of ABS is a very dangerous safety concern, as neither of my children have ever had to drive a vehicle without ABS. After some research, this seems to be a very common problem. After some age and heat cycles, the electronics in the module become weak, and my single use of the Stability control apparently is enough to push the weak electronics over the edge and destroy the module. This has been confirmed through several companies who repair these modules, such as [XXX] , who no longer repairs these modules, apparently because the computer chips are no longer made, and I have heard stories about the chip maker going out of business during covid. It was also…”
“The clockspring went bad, but the recall for that only applies to 2007-2010 Jeep Wranglers. The airbag light is on, my horn does not work, and the buttons on my steering wheel don't work.”
“ABS anti lock module stopped working. Vehicle braking system is now compromise. It also send the speed to the transmission, which is causing the erratic drivability.”
“NHTSA Recall Number 19V018000 Made appointment at West Knoxville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (530 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919) Dealership states they do not have the part, do not know when they will have it. They are refusing to help. They did not inspect the vehicle, or even ask if they could. They really didn't want me there for "recall work".”
“Oil pressure sensor failed. Fixed that. Check engine light came back on with battery light. New alternator. Check engine returned for oil pressure sensor. Temp gauge is fine. Changed oil twice within 3 months. When replacing jeep alternator melting of wires to alternator had occurred. This seems to be an issue with this model.”
