Your Wrangler's Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module, which manages your anti-lock brakes and stability control, has become unavailable from the manufacturer due to production being discontinued. If your ABS module fails, you may have difficulty finding a replacement part, as Stellantis has not restocked this component and it remains on indefinite backorder. This could leave your vehicle without ABS and stability control functionality until a replacement becomes available. A fix would require sourcing and installing a replacement ABS module, either from a third-party supplier or waiting for manufacturer restock.

Your 2015 Jeep Wrangler needs an ABS (anti-lock brake) control module replacement, but the part is on nationwide backorder with over 300 customers waiting and no estimated delivery date. Your dealership has 15 pending orders for this part alone. You've requested that Stellantis escalate this issue to a higher level, but the case was closed without resolution or escalation despite your objection.

•The ABS system has failed in this vehicle. The cruise control has also failed. According to research, these are related. Diagnostics show a 2200 code “anti-lock brake module internal”. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Internet research reveals that this is a very common failure with this vehicle. The parts are unavailable from Jeep/Chrysler and other suppliers. Module rebuilding services such as Module Master cannot even refurbish these modules since the chips are no longer available. This leaves many Jeep/Chrysler vehicles either inoperable or on the road without ABS. •Without ABS, the safety of our family is at risk every time we drive since this important safety feature has failed and is irreparable. Anyone driving in the vicinity of any of these vehicles is also potentially at risk due to this system failure. •This problem is persistent and has been confirmed by advanced diagnostics (code 2200, see above). •The vehicle/ABS system has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others besides my neighbor, who assisted with diagnostics. •We were alerted to the failure by dash warning lights- the brake, ABS, and traction control lights are all illuminated. •In summary, this is a common failure for these Jeep/Chrysler vehicles which has been compounded by the manufacturer’s (and other’s) inability to provide repair parts to correct the failure. We respectfully request an investigation into this issue with a directive to the manufacturer to recall these vehicles.

ABS Control Module / Traction/ BRAKE - all warning indicators are lit on dash - again. Cruise Control not functioning as part of this. System is available for inspection. Replaced 3 tire speed sensors and ABS Module at dealer in July 2023 because of dashboard lights. In January 2025 all 3 dashboard lights are again lit, diagnosed by dealership ABS Module failed and needs to be replaced. In January - Parts are unavailable and cannot be back ordered, Jeep will not accept order. July 2025 I find that part can be ordered but Jeep fighting warranty replacement because order was just over the 2 year mark, yet the diagnosed failure was 8 months prior and unavailable for ordering. Multiple people are driving Jeep Wranglers without ABS Control Modules functioning properly because Jeep didn't have part. Jeep has recalled 2 other models due to ABS issues. It's a matter of time before someone is killed.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler failed at approximately 100,000 miles, causing a complete loss of ABS functionality. The component remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. This failure significantly impacted my safety and the safety of others, as it compromised braking performance, making the vehicle more difficult to control during sudden stops or slippery road conditions. Without ABS, there was an increased risk of skidding, longer stopping distances, and potential collisions, particularly in emergency braking situations or adverse weather conditions. Additionally, my cruise control is no longer operable due to this issue, further impacting the vehicle's drivability. The problem was diagnosed and confirmed by Suncoast Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, which identified the ABS module failure as the cause and provided a repair estimate for replacement. While the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives, the dealership's diagnosis serves as confirmation of the defect. At approximately 100,000 miles, the ABS warning light, traction control light, and brake light all illuminated on the dashboard simultaneously, signaling a system-wide failure. Since then, these warning lights have remained illuminated, indicating an ongoing issue with the vehicle’s braking and stability systems. The failure immediately coincided with a noticeable decline in braking performance and the loss of cruise control functionality. No other warning messages or alerts appeared before the failure. After researching this issue, I have found that this is a very common problem affecting numerous Jeep owners with models from 2007 to the present (JK and JKU models). Many owners have reported similar ABS module failures, leading to the loss of ABS, traction control, and cruise control.

ABS, Traction Control, and Brake lights have been on for more than a year. I have taken it to Jeep Dealership here in Jacksonville, FL and they have continually tried to order the part from Jeep, but are told that the part is. not available at this time. I called Jeep directly and have been told "Part STOCK is under QUARANTINE pending quality / engineering review and inspection. Working to obtain timing on resolve to predict allocation and shipment to DLR to fulfill No firm ETA to provide at this time. Pending response from SPLR / PKG Working to improve." Which is not really an answer. My ABS does not work, and my car cannot be put into cruise control mode without this part being replaced. I feel that my car is not safe without ABS and traction control functioning properly. Part in question is: 68259556AD Module

The traction control light and ABS dash lights will come on and the vehicle will jerk and bog down while driving. It is very dangerous and needs to be fixed. I looked on jeep forum to see if I could see what's going on with it and there were a bunch of jeeps that have the same problem.

HORN, AND ALL CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL WENT OUT. NOT SURE ABOUT MY AIRBAG. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE DUE TO AIRBAG RECALL BUT WHEN I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ONLY BUT THAT IT COULD BE THE CLOCKSPRING BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL JEEPS COME IN FOR THAT SAME ISSUE. I WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING, TRYING TO AVOID A CAR COMING INTO MY LANE WHEN I FOUND OUT I HAD NO HORN! THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHEN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FULLY AND DID NOT DISENGAGE. THE PEDAL RETURNED TO THE DISENGAGED POSITION, BUT THE THROTTLE DID NOT. THIS HAPPENED IN BETWEEN SHIFTS OF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TAPPING ON THE THROTTLE DID NOT RESOLVE THE CONDITION. I HAD TO KEEP THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED CAUSING REDLINE RPMS. THE IGNITION HAD TO BE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED BACK ON, THE THROTTLE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPLETING WORK FROM THE AIR BAG RECALL MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I WOULD HOLD A STEADY THROTTLE AND IT WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN SPEED UP. IT WOULD LAST FOR A FEW TO SEVERAL SECONDS AND SLOW DOWN TO A POINT LESS THAN THE STEADY THROTTLE. WHEN I WOULD USE CRUISE CONTROL THE VEHICLE WOULD VARY IN SPEED BY FIVE TO SEVEN MILES PER HOUR. THIS WAS DEFINITELY A CHANGE FROM THE WAY IT OPERATED PRIOR TO THE RECALL. I USED INJECTOR CLEANER THROUGH SEVERAL TANKS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE CONDITION WAS LIMITED TO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, BUT HAS WORSENED TO THE POINT OF REVVING THE ENGINE WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO CUT THE ENGINE OFF DUE TO THIS UNCONTROLLABLE REV. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRY OF ANY SUCH ISSUES FOLLOWING THE AIR BAG RECALL, BUT BEFORE I COULD COMPLETE MY QUESTION, I WAS TOLD, "NO." MAYBE, THIS ISSUE IS COINCIDENCE, BUT IT IS TRULY A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE SEARCHED THE NET FOR SIMILAR INCIDENTS, AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE VERY PREVALENT. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 68K MILES, AND ZERO INCIDENTS/PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE AIRBAG RECALL. I BELIEVE THE STEERING WHEEL IS REMOVED WHEN THE AIRBAG ISSUE IS CORRECTED, AND FOR THIS REASON I QUESTION IF THE ISSUES ARE UNINTENTIONALLY RELATED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET TO 62. IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN (AS THOUGH I HAD SLAMMED ON THE GAS PEDAL) WHILE BEING PASSED BY A SEMI TRUCK AND TRAILER. WHEN I TAPPED THE BREAK, IT DID NOT TURN OFF. WHEN I SLAMMED THE BREAK DOWN, IT DID NOT DEACTIVATE. I WAS FORCED TO THROW IT IN NEUTRAL, AND VEER INTO THE SHOULDER. WHILE IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AS THOUGH THE GAS WAS PRESSED. ONCE STOPPED IN NEUTRAL, I HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. I LET IT SIT FOR 5 MINUTES TURNED OFF THEN START THE ENGINE AGAIN. I NEARLY RAN INTO THE BACK OF AN RV, AND NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK DURING THIS EPISODE.
