2014 Jeep Wrangler — Known Issues & Recalls

Your ABS control module has been on backorder since May 2025 through your Jeep dealership, and this part is only available directly from MOPAR with no third-party options. While waiting for this part, your vehicle's ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Descent Assist, and cruise control are all disabled, which reduces braking safety especially in wet or winter conditions. The dealership has repeatedly delayed the expected delivery date, and Stellantis reports the part is under engineering review with no confirmed release date.

Your ABS module failed, causing your Jeep to shake violently on the freeway and creating a serious risk that your brakes could lock up unexpectedly. When the module failed, your ABS, brake, and traction control warning lights all came on at once. The dealer confirmed that replacement parts are on indefinite backorder from Stellantis/Mopar, and even rebuilt modules aren't available, leaving your vehicle unsafe to drive for over a year with no solution in sight. Fixing this will require replacing or rebuilding the ABS module, but parts are currently unavailable.

Your ABS module has failed, which means your anti-lock brakes, cruise control, and traction control no longer work. Jeep doesn't currently have replacement modules in stock or a timeline for fixing this issue. Without these safety features, your Jeep is operating with outdated braking technology, and there's a risk it could enter limp mode, which would prevent you from driving. The fix will require replacing the ABS module once Jeep has them available.

Your Jeep's ABS (anti-lock brake) module has failed, causing both the ABS and brake warning lights to stay on continuously. This is a known issue affecting multiple 2014 Wranglers, and the replacement module (part number 68145835AE) is on national backorder with extended delays. The underlying cause appears to be a failed chip within the module that is no longer available.

Your brake warning lights came on, and your Jeep dealer identified a faulty AntiLock Brake module as the cause. The part has been on backorder for about 5 months, and despite the manufacturer showing it as available online, neither the dealer nor Chrysler has been able to supply it for your vehicle. You're concerned that driving with this defective module could eventually lead to brake failure and an accident. Fixing this issue will require replacing the AntiLock Brake module once it becomes available from the manufacturer.

Your ABS pump (which helps prevent wheel lock-up on slippery surfaces) is faulty and may not function properly on icy or wet roads. The replacement part has been unavailable for an extended period, making safe braking difficult in bad weather conditions. Fixing this will require replacing the ABS pump assembly.

Your Jeep's ABS (anti-lock brake) module has failed, which means your anti-lock braking system is no longer working. This is a safety concern since ABS helps prevent skidding during emergency braking. The owner reports that replacement parts are currently unavailable, making repairs difficult.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake) module has been identified as faulty and is causing your Jeep to enter a reduced-power "limp" mode that prevents normal acceleration, especially when trying to merge into traffic. A replacement module has been ordered but is on backorder with a long wait time due to multiple owners experiencing the same issue. While the vehicle is still drivable, the acceleration limitation creates a safety concern in traffic situations. The fix will require replacing the ABS module once it becomes available.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake) warning light has been on continuously since 2022, and you haven't been able to drive your Jeep because replacement parts aren't available from MOPAR or other suppliers. Multiple mechanics have been unable to fix the problem due to the lack of available parts. The fix will require sourcing and installing a replacement ABS module or control unit once parts become available.

Your Wrangler is hard to stop, and your traction control and cruise control don't work. Your parking brake, traction control, and ABS warning lights are all on. A mechanic found that your ABS control module has failed, which is preventing these systems from working properly. The fix will likely involve replacing or repairing the ABS control module.

Your Jeep experiences a severe vibration and steering issue commonly called "death wobble," where the front end shakes uncontrollably, particularly at highway speeds. The dealership is aware of the problem but has not successfully repaired it or documented the issue. This requires diagnosis of the steering and suspension components to identify and correct the root cause.

You have a do-not-drive airbag recall on your Jeep, but you're having trouble getting help coordinating a safe repair. Your dealership isn't offering towing despite the recall's severity, and FCA's call center has been difficult to communicate with. You're concerned that being told to drive the vehicle to the dealership contradicts the do-not-drive warning and puts you at risk. Resolving this will likely require working with FCA directly to arrange towing and clarify recall procedures with your dealership.

Your ABS module failed while you were driving on the freeway, causing your vehicle to enter a safety fail-safe mode that limited your speed to about 20 mph and made your speedometer stop working. This happened suddenly while you were in traffic going 60 mph, creating a dangerous situation for you and other drivers. The dealership has had your vehicle since October 2025, but the replacement ABS module is on national backorder with no estimated arrival date. Fixing this issue requires replacing the failed ABS module, though the part is currently unavailable.

While driving on I-35, you saw a small spark and your vehicle caught fire. You safely exited the vehicle and called 911, and the Lewisville Fire Department responded to the fire at 9:45 pm on 10/23/2025 (case number 2025-0012175). The Lewisville Police Department also filed a report (case number 250068809). Addressing a vehicle fire requires a complete electrical and engine inspection by a qualified technician to identify the ignition source.

After having suspension work done at a repair shop, your Jeep developed a severe vibration called "death wobble" that made it unsafe to control while driving on the highway. The vibration was dangerous enough that you had to pull over to regain control of the vehicle. The repair shop has refused to tow the vehicle back for warranty work, and your car has been undrivable for a month. Getting the suspension components properly realigned and inspected—and potentially replaced if they were damaged during the initial repairs—should resolve the wobble.

Your ABS module may fail, which can cause your vehicle to become stuck in gear and prevent the transmission from shifting properly. When this happens, your speedometer may also stop working. The complaint indicates this is a widespread problem affecting many vehicles, and replacement parts have been difficult to obtain.

Your engine's oil housing failed, which allowed oil to leak into the engine and exhaust system. This can cause smoking, poor engine performance, and potential engine damage if not addressed. The repair will likely involve replacing the failed oil housing and flushing the affected systems.

Your vehicle's ABS (anti-lock braking) system warning light came on while driving, along with your seat belt and parking brake warning lights. A mechanic determined that your ABS module had failed and needs to be replaced, but the part was on backorder at the time. Fixing this will require replacing the ABS control module.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake) module has failed, which means your anti-lock brakes and traction control no longer work, and your cruise control has been disabled. According to your report, Jeep has not offered a fix, replacement part, or recall for this issue.

Your Jeep is leaking oil onto the ground while parked, caused by a failure in the oil filter housing. The mechanic told you this is a common problem on this vehicle model. The fix will involve replacing the oil filter housing with a new one.
