2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Aug 22, 2023 · Brakes · CA

Brought my 2013 Jeep grand Cherokee in for braking issues, was told abs module has failed. Dealership/Mopar does not have a replacement part for the module and no aftermarket support is available. As a father with a 2y/o and a newborn, this seems unacceptable that a critical component such as the abs module is no longer available 10yrs later.

I was driving on the capital beltway 495 in maryland when all the lights in my car came on and then turned off. After that my car completely stopped accelerating, my check engine light came on as well as the ABS light and a lightning bolt light where my speed is displayed started flashing. I was able to get to the shoulder of the road after almost getting rear ended. When I tried to turn my car back on all of the lights kept flashing and the engine wouldn't turn over. After about 30 minutes all the lights went out and my car was finally able to start. Off and on my car keeps telling my to check my gas cap even though I've replaced it and it's always on there tightly.

I took my jeep into a local dealership april/16/2015 for recall 05p14182 or recall p14 ie..a brake booster shield. On may 15 after approx. 3000 miles my ABS, fcw and traction light came on. I could not use my cruise returning to abq. And my brakes were sticking. I took it back to the dealer on 22may and they found that the master was leaking fluid into the brake booster and made mention of the p14 recall. They reperformed the recall and replaced the master and booster and after testing they found the same problem with the brakes. They ordered another master cyl. And after installing said the problem was fixed. On returning to abq on 15july/15 and less than 3000 miles later I encountered the same malfunction. Back to the dealer on july 17 with the same diagnosis and repairs. Less than 1000 miles on dec. 23/2015 the same malfunction and return to the dealer on 31dec. At this point the service advisor and the mechanic said they could redo the fix but it was going to happen again and it was a health hazard because of the possibility of catastrophic brake failure. I contacted chrysler about this problem and they said since it was repaired they could not do a vehicle replacement and to contact them when it happens again. I told them what the mechanic and advisor said about break failure and it was "we can not help you." I then wrote to their ncds and was told that since the vehicle was no longer in warranty I had no case. When this started the vehicle had 41759 miles and the last repair it had 48288. The jeep 2013 has a 50,000 five year warranty. I have all the repair invoices and the emails from chrysler in my files. Please help

We received a recall for this jeep last fall(2014). The number is p60/the federal safety agency 14v‑634 labeled alternator. The recall states that the alternator diodes in our vehicle may experience a rapid failure. Variability in the failure mode ranges from no output, reduced output, and/or a fully shorted to ground condition. Depending on the alternator failure mode and timing, vehicle electrical system voltage may drop to critical levels, disabling systems such as antilock brake system(ABS), electronic stability control(ecs), electronic control module(ECM),and/or central body controller(cbc). The driver will have little or no detection of the alternator failing,which can result in vehicle shutdown while driving and/or an underhood electrical fire. We contacted our dealer twice in the last 5 months and both times were told they do not have the parts. By their own statement this could result in a critical and disabling situation. We should have this replaced today or given a safe vehicle to drive until ours is made safe. How long do they get to put off repairing this????? Why has jeep not made these parts available? And if they have why are dealers not installing them. Our dealer is fox chrysler dodge jeep in auburn, new york.

Received notice for the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v154000. Took vehicle to dealer for inspection early june to have inspected to see if new brake booster system was needed or just shield. Dealer informed only shield was needed. Dropped vehicle off with an appointment before a road trip on august 12, 2014. I was informed after (around 8/16/14) I returned from road trip that brake booster and cylinder were actually needed and more time was needed for repair. Dealer would not give me rental as none were available. Finally got rental middle of following week after taking off work again. Parts delivery eta expedited to 9/1/14. Received call 8/28/14 indicating vehicle repair done. I was required to return rental before I could verify work on vehicle. Returned rental, took delivery of vehicle. Brake pedal went all the way to floor. Almost caused me to hit two other vehicles in the dealer's parking lot. Service advisor informed me this is normal with the recall replacement parts. I disagree so advisor has technician drive it and agree with me that it isn't normal. I am informed ABS system needs to be bled a few more times. Had to go home again and return later to pick up vehicle again. This time it was ok. Completely unreasonable amount of time for parts, had to take off many days of work, and dealer had no empathy for situation. This is in addition to having to fight for a rental. Now, a few days after having received my vehicle back, vehicle has loud tick on startup and while driving louder than radio, but I could not replicate at dealer. Service advisor didn't seem to believe me about tick and I was told hemi engines typically tick. This is not my first vehicle or my first experience with a hemi engine. It isn't normal. No interest in servicing vehicle and informed me to bring it back when it was making the tick sound. I've tried twice and I can't get it to happen at dealer.
