Jeep Grand Cherokee abs comes on

Filed Nov 9, 2026 · Brakes · IL

My 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is subject to FCA recall 94B (the federal safety agency 24V‑838) for an HCU/ABS module that may falsely read pressure in the primary circuit. In June 2025, while driving, the ABS and traction-control warning lights illuminated. On June 30, 2025, an authorized Jeep dealer inspected the vehicle, found an internal fault in the ABS unit, and replaced the ABS/HCU unit. The dealer invoice also records, for Safety Recall 94B, 'NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL,' so the free recall remedy could not be performed and I paid $1,791.81 for the replacement. With the ABS light on, my anti-lock brakes and stability control were disabled; I did not consider the vehicle safe to keep driving my family in that condition. I later filed a recall reimbursement claim (FCA Case No. 98253756). FCA denied it on the sole ground that the vehicle 'is not shifting out of park,' and said the dealer confirmed that. My documented failure was the warning-light / loss-of-ABS-and-ESC manifestation that the federal safety agency's own Part 573 report for 24V‑838 lists — not the shift-out-of-Park consequence. I am reporting both the safety defect as it manifested on my vehicle and FCA's denial of reimbursement for a repair that addressed that manifestation when no recall remedy parts were available. On November 9, 2026, a Jeep Customer Care supervisor upheld the denial on a different ground, stating the repair 'is not covered within the scope of Recall 94B,' after the original denial had rested on the vehicle not shifting out of park.

Vehicle: 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, 3.6L V6 Incident Date: [XXX] Location: [XXX] Safety Complaint: On [XXX], while driving my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland on [XXX], the vehicle suddenly lost accelerator response while traveling on the highway. The engine initially remained running, but pressing the accelerator pedal produced no response. Multiple warning indicators illuminated simultaneously, including the electronic throttle control, ABS, traction control, airbag, and four-wheel-drive systems. The vehicle also exhibited unusual electrical behavior, including unexpected activation of the high-beam headlights. The vehicle subsequently became completely inoperable and would no longer crank or start. The sudden loss of propulsion while traveling in highway traffic created a serious safety hazard and placed me at risk of a collision. This incident follows an extensive history of significant mechanical failures and repairs to this vehicle, including: Replacement of the cylinder head following repeated overheating and engine misfires. Complete transmission replacement following transmission-related failures. Replacement of the radiator and cooling fan assembly TWICE within approximately one year, most recently during a trip to North Carolina. Additional mechanical concerns, including a camshaft-related diagnostic trouble code. Despite these major component replacements, the vehicle continues to experience serious reliability and operational failures. These repeated problems have occurred despite attempts to address them through dealership repairs and manufacturer warranty assistance. Stellantis previously extended the vehicle's warranty as a goodwill gesture following earlier issues. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On XXX, I brought my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Elmwood Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for the federal safety recall 24V‑838 (FCA 94B) on the ABS module/hydraulic control unit. I picked the vehicle up on the night of XXX with no issues reported by the dealer. On XXX, after running errands and parking in my driveway, I restarted the car and stepped back inside briefly. When I returned, every dashboard warning light was blinking and the vehicle displayed a cascade of false error messages — that it was not in Park, to check the transmission, to check the starter, and to pull over and stop. The vehicle then shut down completely and would not restart. It was completely undrivable. A tow company technician tested the battery on site and confirmed it was fine. The vehicle was towed the following Monday for diagnosis. The entire under-hood fuse box tray (power distribution center) was burnt out and had to be replaced. I paid $600 out of pocket for the repair. The recall remedy required the dealer to work directly on the vehicle's electrical system: the published remedy for recall 94B is to replace the integrated pressure transducer on the ABS module and update the ABS module software — both procedures involving the ABS module's electrical connectors and a powered-up electrical system. My vehicle had no electrical problems before this service. Less than 18 hours after I picked it up from their recall service, the vehicle's entire power distribution system was destroyed. The dealership denied any responsibility and refused to cover the $600 repair. The service manager would not help me — the only person who would speak with me was [XXX], a service advisor. I also reached out to the dealership's ownership. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The alternator failed. It was the Safety Recall P60 (the federal safety agency 14V‑634) remedy alternator, installed by an authorized FCA dealer when the recall was completed on 08/30/2021, as FCA confirmed in writing. On 09/24/2026, at 41,275 miles, the vehicle had no electrical power and would not start. An independent New York State registered repair facility diagnosed the failure as "no power," "not starting," and "bad alternator (burning)," and replaced the alternator assembly the same day. The remedy alternator failed about 5 years after installation. The vehicle averages under 3,000 miles per year. The mileage at installation is in FCA's records and is UNKNOWN to me. Safety risk: the P60 recall states that these alternator diodes can fail rapidly with no output or a short to ground, which can disable ABS, electronic stability control, and the engine and body controllers, and can cause vehicle shutdown while driving and an underhood electrical fire, with limited or no warning to the driver. This failure is consistent with that description: total loss of power and a burning alternator. Had it failed while driving, the vehicle could have shut down in traffic. Warning lamps or symptoms before the failure: UNKNOWN. Availability of the removed alternator for inspection: UNKNOWN. FCA has not inspected the vehicle or the component. It declined to cover the repair, first stating that the recall was completed and no recall is open, then stating that completed recall repairs are covered for only 24 months. It made no finding that this failure differs from the recall condition. In its 14V‑634 report, FCA stated that the remedy alternators used the same diodes as its 180 amp alternator, which it said did not exhibit the condition. In 2017, FCA recalled 180 amp alternators (the federal safety agency 17V‑435) for diode thermal fatigue. I ask the federal safety agency to evaluate whether P60 remedy alternators are failing in service and whether the P60 remedy was adequate.

ABS module completely malfunctioned from a shortage. Threw up 7 different codes, even threw up my check engine light for a bit. Can’t even use cruise control because my “memory system” and “park sense” are unavailable. Sometimes it makes the wheel super stiff and the acceleration and break pedals super sticky. I see many recalls for 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s, and believe mine should be included. I should’ve have to pay $3,000 out of pocket for something a ton of people are reporting as an issue. I found one reported a few months back with the same issue.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at a slow speed, the A/C unit started blowing warm air, with the battery, ABS, and malfunction indicator warning lights illuminated. The vehicle stalled, and the contact to pulled over to the shoulder. Upon inspection, there was extreme heat and a burning odor coming from the engine compartment. A mobile mechanic jumpstarted the vehicle and the vehicle was driven to the residence. The battery was replaced, but the failure recurred immediately after the next start-up. The contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 17V435000 (Electrical System); however, the dealer confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 250,000.

I purchased a new 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee on May 9, 2026. On June 4, 2026, less than one month after purchase, the vehicle experienced a sudden brake system failure while I was driving. The brake pedal became hard and unresponsive, the ABS warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle had very limited stopping power. Fortunately, I was able to safely drive the vehicle to the dealership without an accident or injuries. The dealership diagnosed the problem as a failed brake booster (part # 68734134AB) requiring replacement. However, the replacement brake booster is on backorder, and Stellantis has confirmed that there is currently no estimated delivery date and no assigned distribution for the part. As a result, my vehicle has been out of service for 4 weeks with no repair timeline. Stellantis has acknowledged that this involves a critical safety component but has been unable to provide a meaningful resolution beyond monitoring the backorder. I continue to make lease payments, insurance payments, and other vehicle-related expenses for a brand-new vehicle that I cannot safely operate because of a warranty-covered safety defect. This is a serious safety concern because the failure involved the vehicle's braking system and significantly reduced the vehicle's ability to stop. Had this occurred at highway speeds or in heavy traffic, the consequences could have been catastrophic. I am submitting this complaint because I believe this brake system failure warrants investigation to determine whether it affects other 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles and whether the lack of availability of replacement brake boosters for a critical safety component creates an ongoing risk to consumers. A vehicle with a brake system failure should not remain out of service indefinitely because a safety-critical replacement part is unavailable.

During a standard service, the servicing dealership (Lester Glenn Jeep, Tom’s River,NJ) failed to perform the mandatory factory electronic scan bleed required for the Electronic Brake Booster (EBB) and ABS/ESC modules. This critical omission left unpurged fluid and internal system aeration trapped deep inside the electronic braking components, severely compromising the vehicle's stopping integrity and creating an immediate safety hazard. The safety omission was caught and documented via a secondary diagnostic scan by another authorized Jeep servicing facility (Pine Belt Jeep, Lakewood,NJ ), which had to perform the corrective electronic scan bleed to restore proper braking functionality and make the vehicle safe for public roads.

The vehicle experienced failure of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), including illumination of ABS and traction control warning lights. The failure was confirmed by a dealership, which identified an internal ABS module failure and wheel speed sensor issues. These components are available for inspection upon request. This issue is associated with Safety Recall 94B, which addresses defects within the ABS system. At the time of failure, there was no remedy available under this recall. The failure impacted critical safety systems, including braking stability and traction control, creating a potential safety risk, particularly during braking or adverse driving conditions where ABS functionality is essential. The issue was reproduced and confirmed by an authorized dealership, which replaced the ABS module and related components after diagnostic testing. Prior to failure, warning indicators including ABS and traction control lights were present on the dashboard. A recall remedy for Safety Recall 94B was later released. However, despite the failure involving the same system identified in the recall, the manufacturer has denied that the repair is related, without providing a technical explanation. This raises concern regarding whether similar safety-related failures are being consistently identified and addressed.
