Jeep Renegade abs comes on

Filed Aug 7, 2025 · Brakes, Driver assistance · PA

ABS system issues: all warning lights come on - abs, traction control, parking brake (the yellow light as well as the red one. Red comes on an flashes then goes off), hill start, ect... Had codes ran that came back with several ABS related codes as well as engine codes leading back to the ABS system. Came up with right rear tone ring needs replaced. This is likely untrue as the lights come on and off leading me to believe it is more likely an issues with the speed sensor. This safety risk with this is that when the lights are on there is no traction control leading to it locking up an sliding even at low speed (few miles per hour when stopping at bottom of dirt/gravel drive way). There is also a power change lasting a few seconds while driving when the lights do go out. I have also had only a few times where the parking brake (E brake) will come on and stop me immediately when I first start to move forward.

Driving my jeep to work and a bunch of warning lights come on - air bag, power steering, camera, front collision detection, abs system, parking brake, etc. I also lose power steering. Mechanic cannot find cause and all modules appear to be working - codes clear and return after about 30 miles of driving. Car isn't safe to drive and has been in the shop for 11 weeks with no answers. It is about to come back to sit in my driveway - and I will have to continue to make payments on a car that isn't drivable and may never be again. Since electrical issues seem to be prevalent with the vehicle - there should be a recall to protect driver safety.

Vehicle randomly stalls out, engine shuts off, while driving. Check engine, service fuel cut-off, parking brake, air bag, ABS, coolant temperature high, service ESC system lights and messages. All of these warnings and messages occurred during the stall out, never before. It's currently in the shop for the third time to figure out the problem and to get it fixed. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership/shop currently working on it.

I have taken the car in since first oil change with an electrical issue. It still has not been resolved. The abs light, air bag, start stop and seat belt lights and sounds would go off. Potentially causing a whole host of issues. There is still no fix and this will be for fourth time I have taken it the dealer.

Manual trans 1.4l. For approximately the last year, I've gotten an intermittent 'service electric parking brake' message. I never had it looked at, I disconnected the battery and then it would go away. Also the car completely stopped turning off from accessory power mode. I couldn't just roll down the windows, I had to crank the car or the power wouldn't turn back off. Recently had check engine light with code p0807 'clutch position sensor circuit 1 low' showing. The next day, car was difficult to start. It took several tries pushing the start button and messing with clutch before it would turn over. I took it to a shop (not dealer) and they couldn't find anything or replicate the codes and told me it was a glitch. Next day I get the epb light again and used my code reader and it was showing p0807 and ABS code c1220-86. So I located said switch and unplugged it, and boom. All the problem codes popped up again and I was able to turn the car off like normal. I removed the sensor and opened the cover on it. The carbon film inside was missing a section. Tested with a meter and the sensor lost voltage when sweep arm inside reached the broken spot. This is a problem that could leave you stranded somewhere if you didn't have the tools to reach and jump out this sensor. And of course clutch parts are not covered by warranty. Even though this is an obvious factory defect seeing as it's on the inside of a sensor that I couldn't reach without removing the panel under the steering wheel.

The ESC, ABS, steering torque control, 4wd, parking brake lights all came on. The dealer told me that a rodent had chewed the wiring for a rear wheel speed sensor because it has soy based insulation. The vehicle had been parked over night, but gets driven every day.

Sunday, 2 jun 2019 @ approximately 1900 me and my friend were returning home from fishing, going approximately 30 MPH on a light gravel road inside a wildlife state preserve. While make starting to make a right turn, my steering wheel locked up on me which make it impossible to turn. I slammed the brakes and was able to free the steering wheel in time to turn hard right causing the vehicle to slide and coming to a stop inches before going into the river. My car was hanging off the bank with the possibility of rolling over into the river, my friend and I had to exit out of the passenger door for the fear of a possible rollover. I was unable to see any warning lights (hill assist, ABS warning, etc) as everything happened very fast. I currently have a accident claim in with my insurance and the jeep did sustain damage to the driver front tire. I will not know the results until tomorrow or the next day but from the initial look, it appears that my power steering fuild is leaking out and onto my axle and rotor. At this time it is unclear if this issue was caused before or after the impact into the river bank. After the toll truck pulled me out I was able to drive back home however I was hearing a flipping noise coming from my driver front tire. I am now very uncomfortable with driving this vehicle, as this incident could have caused serious bodily harm. Pictures will be uploaded later as I had lost my phone in the river a d have not received them from my friend yet.

Premature clutch failure. Vehicle has 13400 miles. Under normal driving conditions at highway speed (65mph, 6th gear) cruise control became disabled, and service engine light illuminated. Along with several other service warnings such as service ABS, 4wd, parking brake, ecs. Vehicle lost most forward power, but was still able to safely operate due to the vehicles "limp mode". Under "limp mode" vehicle still operated normaly with no indication of mechanical problems, after a few miles, all warning and service engine lights disappeared and normal driving resumed, had full acceleration power, and no issues. Presumed it was a computer malfunction and it corrected it self. Continued to drive to destination, after 30 miles vehicle lost forward power, and service and warning indicators re-appeared. Was unable to disengage the clutch to properly stop vehicle and or shift into neutral. Vehicle was stuck in gear and no matter how hard I pressed on the brake it would not stop the vehicle completely, vehicle would be nearly at a complete stop but would buck and jolt, until I manually shut the vehicle off. Vehicle did require a tow service and would not start afterwards. There was no indication that the clutch was slipping or failed during driving nor had it experienced any issue in the previous trips, (ie, smoke, burnt smell, bucking or jolting, rattles) only indication I experienced was the no forward power, unable to shift, and stop properly when the failure occurred. If the clutched failed catastrophically with no prior warning signs, it may have caused an accident due to possible locking of the engine and transmission with no way to disengage, resulting in unable to effectively stop the vehicle. It could also seize the engine and transmission, resulting in a sudden uncontrolled stop.
