2014 Jeep Wrangler brakes complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 75, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Intermittent indicator lights for ABS, eBrake, and Traction control. Code is indicating an issue with the ABS Control Module. Dealer is saying that parts have been on back-order for years. This appears to be a very common issue with this Jeep style. I'm very surprised there has not been a recall on this yet!!
Our ABS Control module has failed. p/n 68145835AE. It's available at any time to inspect. The ABS system does not function. In a rain or snow situation this could cause severe harm to us and others on the road. Our local service center that works on a wide array of Jeep Wrangler products says they have other customers with the same problem on this specific model. It is also reported substantially on online Jeep enthusiast forums. The unit in our Jeep has been looked at by our service center. There are warning lights on the dash indicating the ABS is non-functional. This failed in May 2024. The ABS module also controls speed control and that also is no longer working. It has been this way for over a year. Other Jeep owners with this similar issue have reported the same issue. This appears to be a systemic issue that Jeep is very aware of but has taken no action to correct. The cost if I want to have this repaired is $1,200 plus labor.
The ABS system failed at about 50,000 miles while the vehicle was still under extended warranty. The system needs a new ABS module which Jeep says is under engineering review. I have been trying to get the part for almost 2 years with no success. I am left with an unsafe vehicle that I am unable to sell.
I took my Jeep in to be serviced by my mechanic due to the ABS, brake and traction control lights being on. The issue is the ABS module is faulty. I was told I could drive it but use caution in rain and ice. I was also told by my mechanic he had another customer with the same issue and it took the customer several months to find the part. Now, I need to begin the hunt for a dealership that has an ABS module and be charged about $2000 including labor costs. Why is this happening to the ABS modules? Is the ABS module faulty to begin with? My Jeep has about 62,300 miles on it. Why am I having to replace a part that should last the life of the vehicle? Yes, many years ago vehicles did not have ABS. Now, modern vehicles do. When the ABS module fails it can cause too many issues for the vehicle plus it’s not only putting the occupants of the vehicle in danger but also others on the road. So then why are so many Jeep owners having to replace the ABS module when it should be a long-lasting component?
ABS Module failure resulting in abs and traction control systems not functioning properly putting myself and others at risk for injury. There is no replacement part available and Mopar indicates there is no current production for a replacement part. This is a well known problem that the manufacturer has failed to provide a safe solution for.
Abs ,traction control, and brake lights stay on I took it to the dealer they told me it was internal failure on the abs module I can't afford 1200$ to fix it I'm in a jeep club this is a common problem it should be recalled and fixed for free it's a safety hazard. And you lose power you can't even pass another car when all the lights are illuminated.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the ABS, traction control, and brake warning lights all appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was initially taken to an independent mechanic where a code reader determined that there was a defect with the ABS module. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer for a diagnostic test where the brake calipers were replaced; however, the warning light remained illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer later confirmed that the ABS module was defective; however, the part for the repair was on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was referred to the federal safety agency Hotline to file a complaint. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
I have been unable to get an ABS Control Module for my jeep for over a year. This is affecting my vehicle breaking system putting my life in danger as well as others on the road. I have contacted Jeep directly and have only been told it is under review. I have taken it to the dealer and 2 different mechanics only to be told they cannot get that part. I have been told driving is relatively safe, I just won't be able to control a sudden breaking stop! I cannot belive this being allowed to happen. I am not only concerned for my own vehicle but how many others are on the road with the same issue. I am hoping to file a complaint with NTSA to force jeep to resolve this issue.
ABS Module defective and Jeep can not provide one because of being on backorder for more than a year.

Red brake light came on dash. Dealership investigated & found faulty ABS control Module. Dealership said it is a very common issue and poses a significant safety risk as the anti lock brakes are inoperable.
ABS anti lock break system , intermittent warning on the dashboard, brake and traction lights. Pep boys and auto zone both describe there is an internal malfunction with no specific codes , they can not prescribe a fix as the speed wheel sensors are working ok. Jeep forums say it may not be safe to drive as wheels may lock under hazardous driving conditions.
I have numerous warning lights all on at the same time and constantly chiming as I drive. These are the following lights that are all on: check engine, air bag, ABS, brake, and traction control. I have read past communication which addresses problems. I truly believe none of these issues were addressed prior to my purchase in 2020.
Abs control module.... brake light , abs, and traction lights on... they come on, they go off... Control module is defective. Continual problem... I know of at least 6 other jeeps.... JKUs with the same issues.... lets pray it works when I need it!!
The antilock brake module shorted out causing the line to melt and shut down my vehicle
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the braking system erroneously activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. During the failure traction control and ABS sensor warning lights illuminated and remained illuminated. Several minutes later the sensor light disappeared and the vehicle operated as designed.

Gas pedal got stuck full throttle, I was pulling out into traffic and had to accelerate so I pushed the pedal down and when I let off I still was accelerating and just ahead was stop traffic made a hard right into a parking lot and through the shifter into neutral. All the time my foot was heavy on the brake jet still launching forward ... What a hair raising experience and the worst thing my wife thought I was doing that on purpose:)*dt
On 3 of the 4 wheels, the oem caliber mountain bolts back out of the calibers. Subsequently causing the calibers to come off of the rotor and wedge inside of the wheels destroying the wheels and causing dangerous flat tires while driving
Parking brake failed causing vehicle to roll while someone was working under the vehicle. Dealer is unable to adjust parking brake to remove slack in parking cables and fca is unwilling to replace the defective parking brake lever that has a failed tensioning spring.
Vehicle failed to stop when brake was applied at intersection. Brake pedal was down at floor and it felt as though the ABS was kicking on, also the steering was affected. Note: brake inspection was done at bill marsh dealership in kalkaska,mi 10 days prior to incident and brakes supposedly were ok
Parked vehicle on a slope in the mountains with the parking brake engaged. The vehicle is an automatic transmission and was in park. Immediately following all passengers exiting the vehicle, it slowly started rolling away, backwards. It traveled down a 4wd road a small distance before turning off and tumbling down the mountain. Luckily everyone had exited the vehicle and there were no injuries. Though we were parked on a slope, probably around 15 degrees, there was complete failure of both the park gear and the parking brake allowing a rollaway. The parking surfaces was a combination solid rock and dirt.
Vehicle brakes automatically while driving , causing the ABS light to come on and the vehicle brakes while driving
When attempting to brake, the vehicle would not stop. The brake pedal started pumping like the ABS system kicked in. The brakes worked as expected minutes later (after rear ending the vehicle in front of me).
Brake issues the day I drove it off the lot on jan 6th 2017. I took it to tuttle click who I purchased it from and they didn't inspect the vehicle I took it back again and they inspected it and found the brake booster damaged which they advised they repaired. I am still having issues along with additional issues and am concerned. This is a vehicle I purchased for my 16 year old. Please help they are refusing to repair or service the vehicle.
I purchased a pre owned certified jeep wrangler from tuttle click in tustin ca and the same day I drove it off the lot it had brake issues. I had to come back twice to the dealership to have them to look at it and it turned out the brake booster was not functioning. I still hear noise from the brakes.
Parking brake fails to work even after adjustment

The car is being driven, usually going off on dry pavement. The jeep also had the computer system shut down the vehicle with a security alert that need a computer update a few months prior.
