Abs module has been bad now for over 1 years, I was 541 on waiting list with only 2 available nationwide, now still being told not available and "it's okay to drive without it" by the dealership, so no anti lock brakes, no cruise control, no traction control, this module is now over 1400 dollars to install but not available, hmmm part was 200 bucks before all the 2015 jeep wranglers start to experience the same issue and MOPAR wont make the part , it should be a recall before a driver or other road users get KILLED, this is being reported all over the USA, seems like all 2015 modules are the problem, (should have recalled the plastic abs oil cooler that is placed inside of engine block PLASTIC doesn't withstand heat, but I repaired that to a tune of 1800 bucks) then ABS module out jeep dealer put me on the list for part but not able to say if ever the module will be available, I checked …

I parked my car fully functioning with no lights on the dash board, after getting back in the car i had the abs light, brake light and stability light on. I checked the codes and i had a C2200 code.The ABS module is bad and the part has been back ordered since 2021 from Jeep/Stelantis. Now the part is discontinued and there is no solution at this time. These cars are driving on the road with no ABS or stability control because the manufacturer has not released a replacement part in over 5 years. This is a major saftey concern and there have already been multiple accidents attributed to this defect. Were not even asking for a free fix we just want our vehicles able to drive safely and there is no option to fix it. This problem is only getting worse as time goes on. This is a widespread issue with 2014-2018 wranglers.

ABS Module/brake and traction light came on in 2021. Jeep dealership said ABS Module is on backorder. The Jeep at that time was still drivable. Now, May 2025, The ABS Module has caused so many items to fail that I can no longer drive it. It is currently at the dealership and they just called to say that the transmission and 0 mph is due to the ABS Module and it is still on backorder with no time frame for them to come in IF they do at all. How can this be legal? I can't drive it and I can't sell it! It is my only Car! It is dangerous to have this problem with no fix! What can I do?

Abs control module defective per dealer diagnostics (110 bucks) , abs light on, brake light on, traction control light on , little car on downhill slope, safety issues are driving without brake control and steering, parts on back order alot of people flooding internet with same issue, as well as oil cooler, who puts plastic in the middle of a hot motor and thinks that wont break, that should have been a recall that was 1000 replacement now 1400 part replacement because it has to be done at dealer

Unknown But my concern is the clock spring recall. I would like that fixed I don't understand why I can't have it fixed under the recall for my Jeep Wrangler 2 door. I am worried that the air bag won't work... right now the horn and a few other controls on the steering wheel doesn't work. So I believe this vehicle is part of the recall.

Airbag Clock spring has failed in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The airbag dash light is now on and the whole steering wheel system no longer functions properly. I see there was a documented recall for this year/model. It's not showing on my VIN. The clock spring has failed in my vehicle.

I recently purchased a new Jeep rubicon unlimited and had the dealer install a mopar 4 inch factory approved lift kit. The kit has a lot of issues with it and not a whole lot of answers to fix them. I was driving the vehicle with my 13 year old daughter in the passenger seat when the steering wheel started to shake uncontrollably and we headed into oncoming traffic. I was able to get control of the Jeep only by slamming on the brakes and turning away from the oncoming traffic. The dealership has been very helpful with trying to answer my questions but they are now saying this is a mopar parts issue and they are in a holding pattern until they can get some answers. I called mopar and they said it is the dealers responsibility and Chrysler has the final say about the repair process. The Jeep has less than 800 miles on it and im in a rental minivan. Too cool !!!!!! …

At 11600 miles, the front tires on the vehicle are severely cupped and chopped on the inside driving surface. The vehicle has had poor handling since delivery. At 2400 miles, the vehicle was serviced for poor handling, wandering, tire oscillation at highway speed. The dealer did "steering repairs" and returned the vehicle. At 11500 miles the vehicle was returned to the dealer for identical handling and steering problems. The dealer reported there was no problem with the suspension and rotated the tires. When the vehicle was returned, and driven at 30+ miles per hour, there was a terrible howl coming from the rear of the vehicle, and the steering problems persisted. When the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, the tire damage was revealed to the owner, and the dealer advised that these particular tires need to be rotated every 2500 miles or this damage will occur. …

I was lucky I was parking the Jeep when the sector shaft broke and the steering gear link fell off. Under other circumstances this could have ended in a major accident. And if a deadly accident occurred, the inspection report most likely would have blamed the collision for the broken shaft and Chrysler would have been exonerated of any responsibilty. My Jeep happened to be a deadly trap because of poor materials used in the manufacture of the vehicle. Where is the liability, and accountability of Jeep? Nothing! They won't even pay for the damned shaft to be replaced. Jeep will certainly ignore this event and if forced to respond they will probably blame me for abusing the damned Jeep which, by the way, I treat like my pet. I am so angry but if I express how I really feel, the complaint will not be posted. …
