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?

ABS Module fails with C2200 code. No replacement parts are available, hence driving with no ABS (manual brakes). Jeep needs to address the nationwide backlog on ATS moudles so proper repairs can be made and Jeep owners have the peace of mind that the ABS is functioning properly.

When refueling and the pump shuts off, fuel with then leak back our and will run down the side of the jeep onto the ground. This is a large fire hazard, and there was previously a recall for 2007 and 2008 for this. The dealership states that they have never heard of this, and will not look at it without a full workup and paying up front. This issue is not safe, and I am thinking about getting rid of the vehicle completely due to this. There are are only 77,000 miles on this now so it isn't like I abuse the vehicle

In March 2015 the BAS ESP (traction control and stability light)warning light came on. It stayed on for several miles and then went off. This happened numerous times. On April 23, 2025 Parker Automotive Service Center removed the steering wheel and replaced the Clockspring. In May the BAS ESP again came on, Parker Automotive recalibrated the Clockspring which has the steering angle sensory built in. In Aug 2025 the BAS ESP light again came on and on August 14, 2025 Parker Automotive replaced the Clockspring under warranty. In September 2025 the BAS ESP came on again. On October 2 2025 Parker Automotive found a Safety recall M31/NHTSA 13V-176 Airbag System Clockspring and advised me to go to the Jeep dealer. Which I did and was told my vehicle was not among the recalled ones. Research shows that m31/NHTSA was replaced by S40/NHTSA. My records show that I “paid” Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Tucson to replace the Clockspring-steering column controls ten years ago on October 22, 2015. It is concerning that when the BAS ESP warning light is on the airbag will not deploy. Does the recall need to be expanded to include additional vehicles? The Clockspring in my vehicle has been replaced now 3 times.

As you were fueling the vehicle it will spit fuel back at you and poor fuel all over the ground and me, many people have this problem there is a recall from 2007 to 2008 but not 2009 through 2010 even though they have the same exact very dangerous issue

I will be driving down the road and a red lighting bolt will flash on my gauges then the jeep will either lose power or shut off. I was almost hit by a semi truck due to this. Once I cycle the key goes away till the next time it happens. Also the brake assist will randomly kick on typically applying braking power to the left rear passenger tire. This is not fixed by cycling the key. Jeep has recalled newer Wranglers for these exact issues but when I contacted Jeep they said it would cost me out of pocket

The design of the fuel tank installed in the 2010 Jeep Wrangler is faulty, The plastic utilized in the manufacture of the gasoline and evaporation fittings is of an inferior material and it can not withstand heat and low humidity. The plastic tends to dry out, crack and crumble, creating fuel and vapor leaks, which could result in a fire or explosion. I have had to replace the gas tank on my 2010 Wrangler in July 2017, at odometer reading 94944 and again in January 2023 with an odometer reading of 161599.

The ABS control module is reporting a DTC code C2200 indicating an ABS module internal failure. The instrument panel warning lights for esp, bas, abs and the traction control are all continuously lit. This problem is continuous but has not been confirmed or inspected by a dealer. independent service center, police or insurance representatives. It is, however, a well known issue reported on Jeep owner forums as an ABS Dashboard Christmas Tree. I have not yet had an ABS related accident but it is extremely concerning that there is an internal ABS module failure that could cause an accident. I have attempted to replace the ABS Module, part 68067458AA, but I am told this part is not available due to a hold for engineering review. I was told the engineering review should be completed by March 20 but until then I am unable to obtain a new replacement part.

When ever I fill the tank with gas I get leakage of fuel on my driveway so I have been filling it halfway and I don’t get the leakage it also has a fuel smell. I have found on the internet that this is common and the repair part is available, but I feel that this is very similar to the recall on Toyota trucks that is now on going so I feel it is my duty to report this safety situation

This vehicle was recalled in 2016 for defective airbag clock spring replacement and I had the recall work done in early 2017. In June of 2021, the airbag warning lamp came on and a scan showed that the airbag clock spring (which had been replaced under the recall in 2017) was defective. I took the vehicle to the local Jeep/Chrysler dealer and was told that they only warranty recall related parts for 2 years, which had already expired, and that I was responsible for FULL payment to get the clock spring replaced. It is incomprehensible to me that an official NHTSA recall that resulted in replacing a supposedly defective part with another part that proved defective would not be covered by the original recall at Jeep/Chryslers expense. Serious injury or death could occur to myself and other passengers if the airbags are not properly deployed in a collision. An additional recall should be issued for owners of all Jeep vehicles that had a defective part replaced with another defective part.
