2017 Jeep Wrangler Brakes Problems

Your ABS braking system failed with a C2200 error code, and the replacement module is on backorder for over a year with no availability at Chrysler/Jeep dealers or other suppliers. This is a safety concern since your anti-lock brakes won't function properly, and no repair shop can fix it until the part becomes available. You may need to have the replacement module ordered and installed once inventory is replenished, or explore alternative repair solutions with independent shops.

Your ABS (anti-lock braking system) module stopped working about 25 months ago, and a warning light on your dashboard stays on whenever you start the vehicle. Without ABS working, your brakes lack an important safety feature designed to help prevent accidents. Your dealer told you the part is on back order, leaving you without this critical safety system while you wait for a replacement.

Your rear brake caliper keeps locking up even after multiple repairs. You've already replaced four rear calipers, rotors, brake pads, and hoses, plus two sets of front calipers, rotors, pads, and hoses, but the problem persists. This is a safety hazard that's becoming costly and recurring. The issue likely involves a defective brake line, master cylinder, or proportioning valve that's causing pressure to build up in the rear brakes.

Your brake hoses are collapsing, which prevents brake fluid from returning to the master cylinder and causes your brakes to lock up. You've had to replace brake hoses, calipers, and rotors multiple times on both the front and rear brakes, costing hundreds of dollars each time. The fix will likely involve replacing the brake hoses with parts that won't collapse, and possibly inspecting the brake system to prevent future failures.

Your ABS (anti-lock brake) control module isn't working properly and keeps triggering a warning light on your dashboard even after the code is cleared. The problem causes your brakes to engage in ABS ratchet mode unpredictably, even at slow speeds, and when braking downhill your vehicle slides instead of stopping smoothly—creating a serious risk of losing brake control and entering traffic. Jeep has been re-engineering the replacement module for two years with no part available for purchase. Fixing this requires replacing the ABS control module itself.

Your ABS control module has failed, leaving your ABS and skid control systems inoperative and triggering multiple brake warning lights on your dashboard. This happened at 63,000 miles, and the owner reports this is a known issue affecting many vehicles. The repair will require replacement of the ABS control module, though parts have been difficult to obtain.

Your ABS (anti-lock braking) module has failed, which triggered warning lights on your dashboard. Your mechanic confirmed the ABS module needs replacement, but Jeep doesn't offer a repair—only expensive replacement options. Until you get this fixed, your brakes will work like older vehicles without anti-lock technology, which means they're less responsive in emergency stops. The repair will require replacing the ABS module, which is a complex electrical component in your brake system.

I have contacted Jeep and I have a Case #[XXX] The past 3 times they were put on for free under part warranty, and I did receive a courtesy vehicle to drive... I don't want to continue to do this every year or two INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was traveling down the street in my town going about 40-45 and all of a sudden the dash lights came on and there was no control of the Jeep. I happened to be close to my mechanic shop so we got it there. No one was hurt but there was no warning that the abs module had gone out. I had to have it towed to a Jeep dealership in Topeka. Ks where it still sits 6 weeks later due to Jeep/ Mopar holding it hostage with no resolution to the ABS module shortage. I am being told there are none in production and there is no ETA for production and shipment.

May 14, 2025 Dear NHTSA, I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara, which has only 60,000 miles and has already required several major repairs that raise serious safety concerns. To date, I have had to replace three brake calipers and the emergency brake, at a cost of over $2,500. The calipers were seizing, and the emergency brake would not release properly, both of which posed clear risks while driving. I understand through forums and peer discussions that other owners have faced similar issues. In addition, my vehicle now has an oil leak that will cost over $700 to repair, and the windshield washer fluid hose burst, requiring another replacement. These repeated failures on a relatively low-mileage vehicle suggest underlying quality and reliability issues. I believe these concerns warrant review, particularly the safety-related brake defects. I respectfully ask NHTSA to investigate whether these failures are part of a broader pattern that may justify further scrutiny or a formal recall. Thank you for your attention.

While Driving ABS, Brake, and Traction Control lights came on simultaneously. Had error codes read and was issuing a C2200 error signifying that ABS control module had failed. Contacted local Dealership to obtain part and was informed by Martin Dodge in Cleveland Texas that the part was not being manufactured because of an engineering issue. Am concerned that this is an issue for all similar vehicles that use the same module and am driving a vehicle without all of its safety features available or even repairable at this time.

Power stop brake hose kit was recalled do to leaks part# BH00139 Amazon order # 112-6473860 / 113-5400733 Recall report 24E-053 Front hose began to leak causing me to loose pressure in the brake system and loosing brakes. Had to have the brake lines replaced

Brakes keep dragging, getting hot and seizing. I have done four complete brake jobs and the vehicle has only 40,000 miles on it. Most recent time the wheel rim was so hot you couldn’t put your hand on it. Cost so far, over $6,000. Google searches indicate that this is a recurring issue on this model and year.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 30 MPH, the driver's side front brake locked up. The contact stated that his wife had not observed any warning lights being illuminated. The vehicle was driven back to the residence. The vehicle was stopped and parked, and the contact stated that there was smoke coming from the driver's side front wheel well. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 91,914.

The brakes kept grinding and squealing even after we changed them, next the rotors and calipers were done. Then again one by one everything needed to be replaced and still didn't take and we kept smelling burning coming from the tires. We then replaced the master cylinder and the brake lines and still it won't take. I looked it up and there are countless complaints on this and Chrysler/Jeep do nothing about this huge safety risk ! Answers to your questions 1. Braking system as a whole and yes it can't move 2. If you do not have brakes in a vehicle you cannot stop so unsafe for the driver and everyone on the road bc of collision. 3. Yes my mechanic has re done this job multiple times and agrees there is a defect going on, not normal. 4. I did not know I needed my insurance or the police involved, the dealership is a joke. 5. No warning sensors or a heads up, just does it.

Dear Sir(or Madam), My Driver Side Rear Cailper locked up (AGAIN) and my Rear Brakes, Cailper and Rotors had to be replaced (AGAIN) this is the second time I had this problem since I purchased this Jeep that I had the Cailper locked up. Jeep has a real problem with this happening. The last time this happened I had a warranty this time I don't. The last 3 Wranglers I have purchased had the same problem, if this isn't a safety problem it shoud be. I have not received a Repair Order as of yet but will summit it when I do get it.

2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 44,000 rear brake calipers sticking and burning smell. Had brake pads and calipers replaced on all 4 wheels. At approx 60K miles, rear brakes were sticking and smoking. Right brakes wearing unevenly compared to the left side, both front and rear. Caliper seals are leaking. Replaced 4 brake hoses, Calipers and Pads AGAIN. At 70K miles rear brakes locked up and caused a fire on the rear passenger wheel which created unsafe driving conditions with 2 small children on board. I had to stop on the side of a 2 lane road with small shoulder, quickly evacuate the children onto the shoulder of the road and extinguish the fire using an on-board suppression device. We then had to wait for towing assistance on the side of the road for 90 minutes. Brakes, Hoses, Calipers replaced all around. Again.

A check engine light came on and when diagnosed it was the Electronic Vacumn Pump which runs the braking system. I see there is a TSB from FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) about this problem.. Case Number: S1805000006 Release Date: 02/24/2020 Symptom/Vehicle Issue: ESC Light Illuminated. DTC C1252-92 VACUUM PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT And Or P258B ELECTRONIC VACUUM PUMP PERFORMANCE Discussion: If ABS has C1252-92 Active or Stored do not replace the brake system module (ABS). PCM may also have set P258B-00. The faults are pointing to vacuum pump system having an issue maintaining vacuum levels. Please check the vacuum pump operation, fusing, wiring, and connector for proper functionality. Poor connections, spread pins, damaged connectors are possible causes. Perform the diagnostic for the DTC P258B regardless if it is set or not, since it is more compressive of a test than C1252-92. In addition when checking Vacuum lines, please ensure to check Vacuum hoses and check valves between the engine intake, booster and vacuum pump. Because the check valves only allow flow of air on one direction, each vacuum circuit must be checked separately to make sure there are no leaks, kinks or damages. Please refer to the correct vacuum diagram. For KL vehicles: inspect ALL under hood grounds for connection and contact issues. My Jeep is at the Ford Dealership I work at at this time. Didn't want to drive any farther than I had to at this time.

Front driver side brake caliper was sticking on right after I bought the car at approximately 86000 miles! I found an article about there being updated hoses right after my car was manufactured. The updated hoses are on the front brakes. Of course I read this article after assuming it was the caliper cause I couldn't squeeze the caliper piston in. I replaced it, with the same results! After I replaced the hose, its fine now. So I cut the hose in sections to found out where the hose was pinched, and its where the hose is crimped in a metal bracket that bolts to the axle. I have a picture of the part of the hose, I cannot see through tiny 3" section or stick a pin through it! I'm assuming the bracket rusted and pinched that section off.

The vehicle has 55,000 miles on it. BOTH brake calipers were stuck and grabbing. A complete front end redo for brakes & calipers at very low mileage. When braking to stop, it was all over the road and unpredictable.

The Front brake calibers ( both ) right and left have completely frozen and locked up under normal operation, twice, since the vehicle was bought new. It created direct emergent highway conditions as the vehicle became uncontrollable and created extremely high heat conditions to the rims/brake pads and bearings. Totaling over 2 thousand dollars in repairs

Rear brakes locked up, over heating, burning smell.

My rear calipers are frozen. My car has 41,000 miles on it now and at 21,427 miles my rear calipers were frozen I paid and got them replaced and now again there frozen something doesn’t make sense

After driving vehicle, strong burning smell Took to dealership - diagnose is new calipers - 5 year old vehicle with 52,000 plus miles. Asked Chrysler to recognize through phone call to customer service??? Inquiring about warranty first then asking for them to recognize defect in same phone call - third party warranty is helping with costs - brake calipers and lines should not be failing on this vehicle at 5 years old 52,000 plus miles and unmodified

This jeep has 60,000 miles and is 5 years old and has had all 4 calipers seized and rotators brakes replaced and cylinders misfired in the engine that has been replaced. All this on a new vehicle is insane and a safety hazard for a vehicle this young AND with this low of mileage. I took ownership of this jeep in March of 2020 with 33k miles. Then in January 2021 with about 40k miles on the car being 3 1/2 years old the back calipers seized causing smoke and burning smell and was a fire hazard and unsafe to drive. Fast forward another year and a few months later on May 13th I was driving the vehicle and the BACK calipers siezed while in operation and now both rear sides had to be replaced, rotators, calipers, brakes and hoses. A year and 1/2 later only 15,000 more miles. So now all 4 calipers siezed and were replaced, motors, brakes, hoses. This most recent time it was to the cost of $1427.15. I googled this issue and it is a common issue and a known issue in jeeps especially in 2017s. A complaint from 2017 shows a gentleman was reimbursed for this exact issue by FCA after his complaint and I am looking for the same. I have also had the engine cylinders misfire and go up in this jeep as well that occurred 2 months ago!

The car brakes failed Thursday May 5, 2021 while I was in the open road. The car did not have any prior warning sign indicating there was an issue with the brakes until after the fact, which with the help of the emergency brake I was able to park on the side of the road and have a towing company pick it up. My car has been at the dodge, Jeep Wrangler dealership since. I contacted the dealer that sold me the car “EchoPark at Grand Prairie” in Texas, the dealer was aware that the brake pads were well below 50% of useful life when they sold me that car that was ultimately the thing that caused my brakes to fail and they’ve refused to pay for the damages occurred, or compensate me in any sort of way. I believe my life and my friends life(a pregnant woman) who was my passenger was put at risk because the dealership failed to check on an item that needed to be check before the car was sold to me. I’ve keep calling the dealership where the car was purchased and they only paying for the broken Caliper through a extended warranty and refused to pay for the additional damaged Ive incurred due to their negligence.

The contact stated the vehicle was exhibiting a pulling sensation and jerking. The vehicle did not display any warning lights. The contact took the vehicle to the dealership who diagnosed that the calibers failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware and confirmed the repair was not covered under warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 31,069.

DTCs for left AND right rear wheel sensors. wiring was open on sensors and caused the speed sensors to not read properly at times 3.00. the sensors were replaced at Mac Haik. 3 other jeeps had the same issue the same day. ABS and traction control lights on dash came on before the sensors were replaced and applying gas did nothing. my jeep was automatically applying my breaks even when I went 5 mph.

We took our car to Rairdon's Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Kirkland for oil change and checking the brake on February 12th because the rare brake had been making some noises and might need a replacement soon. The estimate for the services that we requested plus the additional services that they claimed to be critical was over $2,000. We did not question the amount because safety first and we trusted them to do a good job. We picked up the car on February 15th and paid $2,863.68. We drove home and did not use it until a week later. While driving on a highway, the brake was very loose and there was a huge sound when driving over a speed bump. We checked the car and noticed that a part came off and hanging from the base of the car. We had our car towed back to the shop on March 7th and the staffed confirmed that the caliper had fell off. The service director said they did not touch the caliper when they performed the initial service. Therefore, she was not sure what happened to the car. This is a serious safety issue because we could have get into a car accident or hit other people in the street.

Both front calipers froze at 48,663 miles causing excessive smoke and brake damage. Only symptom was shaking of steering wheel during normal use. Stopped immediately. Vehicle towed, cost to repair $1200.00

2017 jeep Wrangler sport JKU all stock, normal road tires from the dealership, rear and front driver side break caliper is sticking and causing break drag at 32,000. due to this causing the rear break pads to prematurely wear bi-lateral and damaging the rotor on the affected side, causing the vehicle to operate at higher RPMS as the breaks are dragging. due to the heat the caliper boot was damaged as well. Excessive dust on rim and burning break smell with excessive friction heat along with the vehicle pulls to affected side when you let go of the wheel at residential speeds. the heat causes a dangerous break lag and the break pedal is harder to depress as what i believe is fluid not making it back to the master cylinder. when the vehicle is in drive you let your foot off the break on level ground the vehicle dose not move as it should when the transmission is in drive at idle, no gas given, the breaks squeak and jump grip as the jeep tries to move when gas is given, the break is stuck on the rotor. rear breaks where replaced bilaterally cleaned with new calipers, high temp silicone grease , rotors and ceramic pads is hopes to fix the problem. after that is when the front driver caliper was noticeably showing the same signs as the rear did. to have a non dealership mechanic do the job is 970.00.vehicle drives as if the emergency break is on but was inspected and is not touching the inner drum. vehicle is not heavily uses ether 1.)no lights or check break lights luminated its all feel. no accidents due to the break lag but is very dangerous if you need to stop suddenly. 2.)issue confirmed by a independent service center mechanic 3.) at 15,000 miles vehicle was taken back to the dealership for a break groaning sound and squeak when backing up or when driving, dealer stated it was just dust on the pads, inspection found no issues. after the visit the sound would still periodically kept reoccurring but was kept being told "dust" not sure if that was a early sign

DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE CALIPERS FAILED. 31765 MILES ON VEHICLE. SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND ROUGH RIDE. TOOK VEHICLE TO JEEP DEALER. TOLD $2,100 TO REPAIR AND CAUSED BY MY ONLY DRIVING VEHICLE 31000 MILES IN 4 YEARS. TOLD DEALER I BELIEVED THIS WAS SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS FILING NHTSA COMPLAINT. FCA PROVIDED REPLACEMENT BRAKE CALIPERS FOR ALL 4 WHEELS AND FAILED BRAKE HOSE AT NO CHARGE. DEALER REPAIRED AT $965 COST TO ME FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILED BRAKE CALIPERS.

WHEN THE HEAT WAS TURNED ON A BURNING SMELL WAS DETECTED. VEHICLE WAS TAKING TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND AN ANALYZE FOR THE BURNING ODOR, THIS VEHICLE IS AT 52000 MILES. RESULT: MAJOR LEAK TO THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT IS ALSO LEAKING GREASE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT BEING USING FOR OFF-ROADING OR 4WD DEALER STATED THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS FIXED AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN WHILE WAITING ON THE OTHER PARTS. I CONTINUE TO DETECT THE BURNING ODOR. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LEAK OIL. ON FURTHER INSPECTION THE COOLANT AND THE RADIATOR IS EMPTY. DEALER MECHANIC STATED THAT THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING AND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT IS HAVING THIS ISSUE; WHEN INQUIRED ABOUT A RECALL, I WAS TOLD THAT CURRENTLY THE MANUFACTURE DOES NOT HAVE ONE IN PLACE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHES 50,000 MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY, IT IS NOW THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM.

CALIPERS LOCK UP FOR NO REASON CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS DAMAGING THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS.

FRONT RIGHT BRAKE ON '17 WRANGLER (CALIPER) FROZE SHUT WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY MOVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. SMOKE WAS VISIBLE ABOVE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL, VEHICLE SHOOK WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE HAS 19,000 MILES, ZERO INDICATION OF LOW BRAKE PADS WHICH SHOULD LAST WELL OVER 45,000 MILES, AND ONLY THE RIGHT BRAKE PAD WORE DOWN. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS LOW BRAKE PAD CAUSED ISSUE, THEREFORE WEAR & TEAR. DUE TO NO PRIOR BRAKE ISSUES/SLOW BRAKING/ SQUEAKING, AND CURRENT MILEAGE, I'M OF THE OPINION THAT BRAKES LOCKED DUE TO DESIGN OR MECHANICAL ISSUES RATHER THAN LACK OF MAINTENANCE.
