Abs unit failed. Yellow dashboard warning light illuminated. Red brake warning light was not illuminated. The brake pedal when pushed traveled to the floor. Front wheel brakes became completely inoperative as verified by jacking up the front wheels and testing. Rear brakes still operated, but minimally. Suspect the ABS unit fails by sticking in a faulty bypass state that disables most of the braking capacity, instead of a fail-safe fault mode.

I started my 2007 jeep wrangler 4x2 (manual shift) and was sitting in the drive way (the vehicle was not in gear) when the jeep turned itself off and restarted. At the time it restarted itself, the horn began blowing non-stop, the front and rear windshield wipers turned on, washer fluid sprayed from the rear wipers, the dash lights turned on, the radio turned on, and the interior lights turned on. I attempted to turn off the vehicle and remove the key from the ignition. The horn kept blowing, both sets of wipers were on, the interior lights remained on, the engine kept running, the dash lights remained lit, and the radio wouldn't shut off. I tried to restart the vehicle and turn it off, but nothing helped. The horn was blowing like a demon. The neighbors raced over to help me. We manually stalled the jeep to stop the engine, but the horn, radio, lights, and wipers remained on. We disconnected the battery terminal - horn kept blowing. (this wiped out the computer codes). Then we disconnected the horn to keep it from blowing non-stop. This is the 4th time this has happened to my jeep. On thanksgiving day 2014 - the vehicle turned itself off and turned itself back on while driving at 45mph. The ABS and compass module has been replaced. Software updates have been completed. The clockspring was replaced. They claim the tipm was replaced in 2007. I called the chrysler customer care and the dealership on all occasions after each incident and they basically told me that if they can't see any codes, then the issue didn't happen. They want to see of video. I need help with my demon jeep - I am totally afraid to drive it and the dealership and chrysler corporation won't help me. That thing will eventually cause a serious accident. These issues began in august 2014 and remains unresolved as of 1/17/2015.

Shortly before taking vehicle in for brakes, the ABS/esp/bas and traction lights came on. Repair shop stated this would reset after brakes replacement. It did not. Now the lights are on all the time. I have no ABS,no traction control and vehicle is all over the road in inclement conditions. Also the wipers won't turn off after car is turned off and key is removed. They operate on low or high no intermittent. The fluid works and the rear wipers and fluid works, but the wipers wont turn off unless I remove the fuse. And now the cruise control will not work. I was told the tipm is bad, but looking at reviews online. It seems like this is a safety concern for all these issues and should be cause for recall.
