What owners report

2026-08-16, Vehicle Speed Control
My vehicle has experienced a complete failure of the ABS Control Module. A dealer diagnosis confirmed internal module failure. The symptoms are: - All ABS system warning lights illuminated (ABS, traction control, brake, sway bar) - Odometer and speedometer stop working while driving - All brake lights remain on continuously - Vehicle exhibits erratic shifting / rough braking This is a documented safety defect affecting many Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep owners where the dealer confirms the ABS module is defective but cannot repair due to the part being on national backorder with no ETA. I am being told the part is backordered indefinitely. I am left driving an unsafe vehicle with no functioning ABS,

Failure to replace airbags
2026-07-06, Electrical System
Started vehicle and went inside to grab my bag and there was a loud explosion and the engine bay went up in flames. Determined to be electric and originated in or near the TIPM. The vehicle is a total loss, house has damage, and other vehicles.
2026-07-02, Air Bags
Most of the dash lights are on scan code U1412. Says traction control not working, ABS not working, speedometer not working, and airbags not working. The Power Control Module (PCM) needs replaced. A known issue with the Jeep Wrangler JKs. No one stocks the parts and used ones are way over priced. How can Jeep not have to replace it or at least stock a replacement part that has the issues resolved?
