What owners report
Abs module went bad and dealership wonât fix the issue because stelantis no longer produces the part. Renders vehicle undriveable
2013 Jeep Wrangler. Antilock brake warning lights along with anti skid lights are on. Trying to get a new ABS module but no luck. I understand there is a national back order. I also understand it is effecting multiple year models. Which is a safety concern. Also what is being done about this issue?
The ABS module has internal failure. Jeep doesnt make the part anymore, a used parts salvage yard i was quoted $1100 as a special order part they might not even be able to get, a few module repair companies wont repair the jeep ABS module because they cant get the parts, and a couple that quoted me to repair it the cost was $2K to $3k to make the repair here in Tampa. How can Jeep stop making the part that you ABSOLUTELY NEED TO STOP YOUR VEHICLE SAFELY??!! How is this not a SAFETY ISSUE that people have to drive their vehicle, not knowing if it WILL OR WILL NOT POSSIBLY HIT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IF THE VEHICLE HAS NO ANTILOCK BRAKES?? Makes driving in the rain hazardous, jeep slides on wet r
ABS Module failed rendering my vehicle inoperable. Lost signal to all speed sensors and swaybar. Vehicle is stuck in limp mode. This is my only transportation. Manufacturer should have recalled this years ago, they know itâs a major problem.
My ABS Module is not working and Iâve been waiting for several months for a new one but two dealers have told me they are not available anymore and my jeep slips and slides out of control when the ground is wet after rain
