Front brakes come on while driving and ABS causes front end to shake. Brakes are so hot the the pads are burning. The vehicle has no power because the front brakes are both being apppied
It starts but doesn't crank, warning lights and codes flash, ABS shuts down when stopping at a stop light,lose of power while driving, skipping stationary and in motioneas and bas plus check engine light, I have to shut off all electrical buttons for car to start, over heats only when idle, replaced alternator and battery and still and starts and won't crank,
My light to air back is on all time I never do any recall by manufacturing also by test in the scanner show the ABS need to replaced
Last february my jeep started acting funny. The horn, wipers, fluid, raido, seat, and lights all went crazy while driving. Thinking that it was a battery or spark plug issue I replaced both. No luck. The next day I stated my car ABS the horn would not shut off. I disconnected the battery and had it towed for diagnosis. Tipm good I was told. 2 days later same thing. I brought my vehicle to another mechanic but this time asked to see the schematics. There is only one common component the tipm. No engine issues found, tipm tested for a week, no results. Got my car back and one week later recorded the car doing exactly what I had stated. This system only has 1 check with results either good or bad. I looked up recalls-none, called jeep and complained about how dangerous this is. I'm not incredibly tall so for my seat to move itself backwards while driving was scarey! I ended up going to a jeep dealership convinced this was the issue and had the box replaced and system reset. One yr later still no issues. I still have the videos as proof of this claim. Please realize all times this happened with the exception of the horn going off, battery disconnected, I was driving on the hwy going into street traffic. Only once was the weather incredibly bad; raining to the point of flooding. Because I live in upstate ny there was also snow and ice present. Due to my vehicle acting up, I chose not to take my niece's over the weekend as I typically did. Being responsible I couldn't let something happen with a then 4 year old in my car.
Inoperative speed control and sudden loss of instrument cluster lights/speedometer at high speed. Code read out performed. Indicated wheel sensor not communicating with control module. Had it replaced twice. Problem is not with the sensor. The control module for panel displays shuts down. Alll warning lights on dash display come on indicating ABS disabled, brake/engine failure. Also,speed cruise control lost plus speedometer drops/ freezes at zero
1, all lights come on dash; check engine, 4wd, brake, ABS - all of them, each time I have it checked but the codes will not register stating not found 2. Roof leaks at back of cargo area with heavy rain or when vehicle gets washed 3,when adding fuel, doesnt automatically stop and gas spews out all over 4. Locks will randomly lock and unlock. 5. Radio will stop and start
My air compressor started making a terrible screeching noise. The mechanic stated that the air compressor in jeeps do not last after a couple of years. How has this not been rectified? Also, my traction and ABS lights come on and cause me to be unable to stop when I press the brakes. This is not from normal wear and tear of driving a car.
