Abs system is defective, and I need it to be replaced. It appears my car gad a recall. But other owners never felt the need to have fixed? Either way I need car fixed for my own well-being. The car has some electrical issues to, I don't know if their are recalls for that issue to? I need to get car smog certificate, but now I am stuck with a car idled by this ABS issue. No accident, got report from auto zone. It showed me exactly the cars, condition. Because lights in dashboard stay on. I'm sure many, other jeep drivers. Have the same, issue with the ABS module. Is defection, from manufacturer. So again this car never had the recall work on it. So I inherited, a pre-existing, condition lemon. No accident of incident.

Unknown. While my vehicle is set on cruise control and the weather is over 50 degrees or the air is running my cruise control will shut off. Warning lights abs, esp bas, & stability control will come on, then my cruise control won’t work anymore. Now just this morning going up a hill my car wouldn’t go pass 20 mph while my foot was to the floor basically. Then almost to the top of the hill it took off. The rmps went high Jeep shifted to next gear. Of course took my foot off petal and pushed brakes slightly. As slowing down it started shifting hard with high rmps still. I have done a new tune up and new transmission within the last 6 months. Before the new transmutation it was still doing this. The reason to replace the transmission was my Jeep just stopped completely moving. I don’t have the money to keep taking my Jeep back to the dealership for them to keep telling me they don’t know the problem. If nothing gets done about this sadly I will have to get rid of it. The cruise accrues when I’m on the highway going 60 to 65 mps. The shifting problem happen in town. Which both issues could cause a serious car wreck and harm to others and my self.
