ABS Control Module stopped working with several warning lights showing on dash display. After 12 months the dealer is unable to supply a replacment part or a possible date when a new part might be available.
The ABS module on my jeep has failed. I've been put on a list to get a replacement part but have been on the list for 10 months with no indication of when my parts order will be fulfilled. The failed ABS module caused the BRAKE, ABS and TCS warning lights to be on. I am driving a vehicle under unsafe conditions and the manufacturer does not care.
My 2016 Jeep Wrangler is experiencing an ongoing problem with the ABS/braking system and wheel-speed sensor. The ABS/brake warning light comes on intermittently, particularly when turning right and during hot weather. The vehicle has NOT been repaired for this problem. I am reporting it because I am concerned that there may be a defect involving the wheel-speed sensor, sensor wiring/connection, wheel hub, or ABS system. Because these components are connected to the vehicle’s anti-lock braking and stability/traction-control systems, I am concerned about the safety of continuing to drive the vehicle. I would like this problem investigated as a potential safety defect. I am also requesting that NHTSA review whether other 2016 Jeep Wrangler owners have reported similar ABS, brake warning light, or wheel-speed sensor failures and determine whether a safety recall is warranted. There was no accident it just started happening on its own.
ABS Brake Sensor is on and the ABS Module needs to be replaced, however there are a lot of other people out there with this same issue and nobody can keep up with the parts to fix the problem. This should be a recall for all Jeeps 2009-10018
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced an ABS module failure. The ABS and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The dealer was contacted and diagnosed the vehicle with ABS control module failure; however, the part to repair the vehicle was not available. The vehicle was not repaired.

The ABS control module has internal problem which shuts down the module. Results of the module shut down includes: -The stability and traction systems are offline. -A failure in the ABS module or hydraulic unit. -Cruise Control inoperable. -The module no longer modulates brake pressure, which can result in brakes locking. Currently, Mopar has stopped production of this item, so there is no method to replace a failed or non-working module with an original part.
Code C2200 Multiple visits to shop. Part is on indefinite backorder. Brakes lock up when quick needed, traffic/other driver pull out in front of me Showed up 4 months ago
ABS module is bad, shooting codes on dash, disable cruise, worried about issues with braking.
The ABS Module is non operative and has been on back order for over 3 years from the Dealership.
ABS module failure
The abs module malfunctioned and there’s no replacement. It’s been on back order for a couple years
ABS module failure without cause. New modules no longer being produced. Lack of anti braking system is a huge safety concern. Vehicle was looked at by a mechanic. Brake light, stability control light, and ABS light all came on at the same time at the time of failure. Vehicle was in park and turned on at the time of failure.

The ABS module (68259556AD) on my 2016 JKU is not working (code C2200) and the part is not available anywhere. I tried buying online and reaching out to a dealership, but everyone acknowledges Stellantis doesn’t have the part available. There are posts on Jeep forums from 2023 from people with the same issue which is causing their Jeeps to go into limp mode at highway speeds. I feel unsafe driving my car and there’s no current way to fix this issue.
The ABS module has gone out with replacement parts on backorder and not being manufactured for a lengthy time. This is caused my jeep to go into limp mode since August 2025. There has not been a resolution to solve this problem at this time. Even to have it refurbished or rebuilt has not been an option due to most companies no longer working on this part.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Control Module failed nine months ago. Without working ABS Control Module the braking system and traction control system do not function which is a huge safety concern. New ABS Control Modules have been out of stock at all Jeep Dealers across the country! Thousands of Jeep Wrangjer owners are waiting for new ABS Control Modules and until Chrysler corporation provides new Modules all owners are enduring big safety risks driving their Jeeps! Need immediate help from the NHTSA forcing Chrysler to immediately provide new ABS Control Modules. A safety recall needs to be issued immediately for failed ABS Control modules for many thousands of Jeep Wranglers Thank you for whatever help the NHTSA can provide to resolve this big safety issue.
Keep ABS / Traction control module defective with no replacement available.
The ABS module has failed and this is such a widespread issue with Jeep Wranglers that you can't even find a new ABS module part to order. The failure of this part impacts the braking system. Jeep should make a recall and fix this issue.
ABS Module has been on backorder since 2021. Cannot get an ETA on part from the dealership. They advised its been on backorder 3 yrs at the time issue was confirmed. 9 months to date on backorder list. No traction control, ABS, cruise control and emergency brake. The vehicle has lost speed making it not maintain a speed on hills, and highway. Vehicle feels unstable.
ABS Module has gone bad. Has an internal communication error. This is typical on these vehicles. The problem is getting a part from Chrysler. The modules have been on back order for years and there’s no sign of getting a fix. The vehicle is unsafe to drive but we are left with no choice but to continue to drive it. Why hasn’t anything been done to kick them in gear and get replacement parts made?
I own a 2016 Jeep Wrangler with a malfunctioning Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The ABS is not functioning, creating a serious safety risk, particularly during emergency braking and adverse road conditions. The vehicle has been under an active repair order with Town & Country Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram since October, but the required part remains on indefinite backorder with no estimated time of arrival. I have escalated this issue to Stellantis Customer Care and have ongoing email correspondence documenting the delay and lack of resolution. Despite these efforts, the vehicle remains unrepaired, forcing me to either drive with a known safety defect or go without transportation. This situation represents a failure to repair a critical safety system within a reasonable timeframe. I am submitting this complaint due to the ongoing safety risk and lack of timely resolution.
Just like many other people have wrote about, the ABS SENSOR is defective. The ABS light comes and the traction light does also. Jeep has been aware of the problem for 18 months to 2 years. There is no fix or replacement sensor in sight.
MY GIRLFRIEND ALMOST CRASHED GOING DOWN A HILL TOWARD A STOP SIGN FOR A BUSY INTERSECTION FOR A ROAD THAT IS ALONG A CLIFFSIDE. JEEP CANNOT GET A PART FOR THIS VEHICLE AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET ONE. NEEDS AN ABS MODULE AS ONE OF THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUITS IS NOT COMMUNICATING. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MULTIPLE MODULE REBUILDERS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET PARTS FOR THIS MODULE ANYMORE. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE WRANGLERS AND JEEP IS NOT WILLING TO RELEASE A RECALL TO MAKE IT RIGHT. DUE TO PARTS SHORTAGE, THE MODULES ARE GOING ONLINE FOR $1500-$2000, WHICH FOR A MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT CAN BE A LARGE ISSUE. WE HAVE SINCE PARKED THE VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS WHILE I ATTEMPT TO LOCATE A REASONABLY PRICED MODULE OR FIND SOMEBODY THAT HAS THE CHIPS/CAPACITORS TO REBUILD IT. I AM A DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN WITH 7 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND WE HAVE SENT LOTS OF THESE VEHICLES TO AUCTION FOR THE SAME CONCERN.
ABS module reported to dealer in February, 2025..They said was safe to drive. Then April 2025 the module went out.-Part has been on backorder since March 2025. It was taken to Key Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Marianna in March 2025. Jeep would not steer properly, the brakes were not normal and all the warning lights on dash were on. I could not drive. .
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
