ABS module is faulty causing other issues including problems with electronic stability, no speedometer, no cruise control, no abs brakes. Apparently Jeep is no longer making this part as it has been on backorder for months. I feel it is unsafe as winter weather is nearing and abs brakes would be essential for safe driving. At [XXX] old I feel it is an essential part of safe driving for myself and my wife. I've been communicating with Jeep customer care for several weeks with absolutely no resolve. It appears they are not even producing the part that would seem essential for safe driving. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My safety and the safety of others is at risk due to the primary control module of the ABS system malfunctioning. The ABS indicator light was on prior to seeking support from an independent service center. The service center's report is below: "ABS Module Internal Malfunction: Suring diagnostic the tech found the computer system recognized an issue with the ABS system. Tech tested the ABS module as well as all connecting parts and found that there is currently a failure within the Primary Control Module."

I have repeatedly got my car sent to a repair shop for screeching transmission & brakes. Every time no one can find an issue and the next day the noises will come back again. Recently once again my check engine light turned on. I have constantly stated there is obviously something wrong with the engine or transmission since the first month of buying this car, but no one can find anything so everything is good with the car apparently. Its not safe do something & I've filled a complaint before and gotten no response. Recent incident: the car is currently was stationary when I tried turning on my car and the check engine light came on. The past incidents: I was in motion on a 40mph road and the car completely shuts off. The repair shop took a crank piece out but that's not main problem since 2 weeks later my car doesn't want to turn on.*dt*jb*dt consumer stated she found the problem with the sensor.

Engine overheating, sliding turns, brakes make noise.

The warning lights on the dash board go on intermittendly for the ABS, traction control, and 4wd. When driving the vehicle, the engine will pause a few seconds, warning lights will go on, and vehicle will proceed forward. The most significant instance was when I was turning left into an intersection, the vehicle vibrated for approximately 30 seconds, speed reduced to 2mph, warning ligts for ABS, traction control, and 4wd went on, and vehicle proceeded forward. I had vehicle serviced three times for this problem. When the vehicle is connected to the computer to run diagnostics, nothing is indicated. The mechanic changed the wheel bearing 4 times with the hope that would correct the problem. It has not. When driving on a highway, the vehicle seems to shift into this error mode with the pause, ABS, traction control, and 4wd lights go on and the vehicle proceeds forward. It does not happen when backing up. I fear this will cause an accident because of the hesitation of the engine when this happens..

Since I bought this car from the dealer, all the from tires making noises when I press the break to stop, I spoke with the dealer but he don't want to help me out. Also the engine light showing up since I got the car from the dealer, the electrical system too is not working perfectly and the AC system is not too good.

The ABS brake lights came on as well as the skid warning light when I started the car. About 30 seconds later as I was driving straight at about 25 MPH down the street, there was a loud clicking sound and the brakes locked up and the steering wheel locked up too. Or possibly could have been the transmission that locked up. I can't be sure. But it is safe to say the entire care locked up leaving me unable to steer or maneuver the car in any manner. I waited a few minutes and the lights went off and I was able to get the car back home. I waited a couple of hours and started the car again and the ABS and skid light came back on. The car is a 2014 jeep compass.

Every time we back up there is a loud noise that comes from the brakes. More than 5 times, my wife has asked the jeep dealer to fix it over the last 2 years. They say the same thing every time that nothing can be done and that it is a defect with the way the brakes work on this jeep model. We are frustrated to hear this noise with no way to fix it.
