The ABS light on my instrument panel has been going off for Since April 2025. I have attempted to order a replacement ABS Control Module, but Stallantis keeps canceling the order with no reason provided. This appears to be a long ongoing problem, and others have reported waiting years for a replacement. I have also heard reports that Stallantis is no longer making the part. I understand that the federal safety agency has forced a recall on other Jeep/Ram ABS Control Modules, so I'm not sure why one has not been placed on the Jeep JK series.
2014 Jeep Wrangler electrical complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 82, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the ongoing issue with the ABS control module in my vehicle. For the past two years, this component has been faulty, leaving me without ABS functionality, traction control, and proper braking performance. As a result, I have experienced several dangerous situations in which my vehicle was nearly involved in accidents due to these safety deficiencies. Despite my efforts to resolve the matter, I have been unable to obtain the replacement part. I have contacted multiple dealerships, suppliers, and even Mopar directly, yet I have been given no estimated timeframe for delivery. I currently have the part on order, fully paid for, and after two years there is still no indication of when or if it will become available. This situation has created serious safety concerns for both myself and other motorists. Furthermore, I am unable to trade in or properly service my vehicle due to this unresolved issue. I find this unacceptable and believe it demonstrates a significant failure in both product support and customer service. I respectfully request immediate action to resolve this matter, whether through expedited access to the replacement part, an alternative solution, or other appropriate corrective measures. My priority is ensuring my vehicle is safe to operate, and I urge you to address this situation without further delay.
ABS module failure causing electrical issues and making car unsafe to drive. Spedometer works intermitently, jeep become unresponsive. Been on jeep forums and realized im not alone in having this issue or the long wait for the replacement module incidicating high depend for replacements
My 2014 jeep wrangler unlimited started throwing the motor in limp mode. Had it checked out and it's the TIPM and the wiring harness. As I dug into that some 2014 jeeps already have a recall on this. But I cannot find on my VIN. Could this be a needed recall that this jeep needs to be added too? Help please.almost caused an accident 3 different times throwing a brand new motor into limp mode
My ABS modular sensor is bad causing my cruise control not to engage, When traveling down the interstate while in cruise control it will just off the traction control light will come on and shut my cruise control off unexpectedly and rapidly slowing me down, unexpected. This is a safety issue
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.
- vehicle engine shut down & lost all power to engine at major intersection - in turning lane at rush hour could not move car- others slammed brakes -resulted in angry drivers & no ability to move car 3 lanes either direction. - problem reconfirmed by chrysler -jeep dealership - inspected by chrysler mechanics to confirm loose connection that caused fuse to blow & burnt (tipm) circuit board allowing no power to throttle. -no warnings at all at a center intersection when entire car shut down. 2nd occurrence after a fuse repair resulted in vehicle throttle shut down again no warning & this time on a 2 lane highway at 50+ mile speed which could have been on 6 lane hwy. At 70+ mile hours speeds which could have resulted in a deadly accident involving numerous drivers! This (tipm) part has a major recall for many chryslers models. It does not show for our VIN but we have experienced the exact issues as described for this specific recall. Costs include tow fees, repair quote at over $1700.00, time in shop without a car all significant. Concern: will it happen again ? Request recall reimbursement that should qualify for our vehicle as well !!
Tipm issues
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.
Driving sometimes with cruise on and sometimes not or going up a slight inclined the car will lose RPM goes down and then back up. I Was merging on to a highway went to give it gas and RPM goes down and I had 2 semis coming up on me so had to pull over to shoulder. It is very unsafe because you just dont know when it is going to do it. Have had it in to dealership computer and no code. But very very frustrating. They have put computer on and drove around and of course it wouldnt do it. We are at our end of the rope we don't know what to do. Service dept just said if it doesn't throw a code cant do anything. I guess when we get hit they wiil do something.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing electrical failures. The check engine warning light was illuminated intermittently, and the infotainment system failed to turn on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the oil sensor pressure circuit was replaced due to an internal short in the oil-sending unit. Additionally, the PCM software was updated, and the infotainment system was replaced. The contact also stated that the fuel gauge provided inaccurate readings and would not read that the fuel tank was full. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice for fuel gauge failure. The dealer performed a PCM software update for fuel sender recalibration and replaced the fuel pump module. The contact stated that the traction control warning light illuminated intermittently, and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced an unknown sensor. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing an electrical draw, and the battery was replaced four times. The vehicle was taken to the second dealer McCord's - Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (990 Tennant Way, Longview, WA 98632) where it was diagnosed that the electrical draw was due to a failure of the instrument cluster electrical wiring or a failure of the electrical wiring underneath the dashboard. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.
Bad clock spring. Air bag light will not go off, even after passenger air bag was replaced for recall.. also no controls will work on the steering wheel.
Clock spring, which is located behind the steering wheel, has become bad and no longer works. This affects the horn’s ability to function.
I was driving the vehicle at 30 miles per hour and the engine accelerated to 60 miles per hour on it's own. before I could get it to stop. This occurred on 4 different occasions of the vehicle accelerating on it's own. The vehicle was only able to get under control by stepping on the brake hard placed the vehicle in neutral and shut off the Key. Some one could of been killed. No Dick Chrysler dodge stated they would have to drive it to see if there was an issue and charge an outrageous amount of money to determine if there was an issue. I know there is an issue. No one has inspected it as there was no accident There were no warning signs that came on. The first occurrence of the issue was on 8-
Fuse box on right hand side of engine compartment caught fire and was smoldering. Jeep at time was turned off and in a parked position when this occurred. Tail lights were flashing and windshield wiper were going without being turned on. Remote would not unlock Jeep and entire cabin was filled with smoke. If I had been driving vehicle, I would have been unable to stop. Auto Gear Shifter locked up and I would have been unable to see how to drive due to amount of smoke entering cabin and all power components failing.
Tipm malfunctioning. Jeep indicating door ajar/not in park. Vehicle has indicated other problem via dash while driving. Took to mechanic and was told needed new tipm.
The ignition appeared to go out on our 2014 jeep wrangler. When you turn the key in the ignition, there was no sound. It did not try to crank. All other electrical components like headlights, radio, etc still worked. I took it to auto nation jeep in roseville and they said the tipm needed to be replaced at $1400. The vehicle was stationary in the garage.
Vehicle showing cel (check engine light) with no performance issues noted. Code read and shows p0520 related to the oil pressure sensor switch. After reviewing forums, determined that a tsb exists but no recall although the design of the unit has been changed due to defect. Replacing this unit took a considerable amount of time and effort as a large amount of the top half of the motor has to be removed to reveal the sensor. Replaced and vehicle has been operating free of the cel since that time and accurate oil pressure readings are being received. Without the repair, the vehicle cannot pass a nys safety inspection and features of the vehicle are disabled.
I was driving down road and lost power like it dropped into neutral. Pull over to side of the road and by time I stopped had smoke coming into the cab. Got out and saw flames in engine compartment. Called police and fire but vehicle was total loss.*dt consumer stated there were no electrical issues and no engine light came on. Flames were coming from the bottom of the engine.
Clock spring is apparently damaged and not allowing the horn, airbag deployment or radio controls on the steering wheel to function properly.
Four months after purchasing a used wrangler unlimited I got a check engine light and codes p0205 and p0305. Upon reading up on these codes it is a very well known issue with the 3.6l pentastar engine. The injector coil had already been replaced in cylinder 5 so my guess is the previous owner had the same issue. It has slightly over 60,000 miles on it and is no longer covered under engine warranty. The first time it happened to me was after a 120 mile drive. I stopped for gas and when I turned the jeep back on the check engine light was on.
The jeep will not start-stationary. It cranks over but does not start. The jeep is equipped with a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module)
My steering wheel controls are no longer working. This includes the horn, channel and volume control. They will work when the steering wheel is turned 45deg from top dead center. My research shows that this issue is caused by the "clock" spring assembly behind the air bag. Jeep currently has a recall out for rhd wranglers and their clock spring assembly. I believe there are also issues with the lhd (left hand drive) models as well. I am taking this to the dealer in the morning. Note the problem occurs when the vehicle is in motion or not.
Early may 2019 my jeep's steering wheel controls started malfunctioning and now completely not working. The horn stopped working, radio and hands free controls on the steering wheel. I can not use my dash screen at all and it's just showing '- - '. I could not use my horn on may10th and was cut off and as a result was in an accident. The front end was significantly damaged and the airbags didn't deploy and I busted my face on the steering wheel and hit head on windshield. Diagnostic scan said there was 0 codes prior to accident and that triggered me to do research on the clock spring recall but my VIN is not under it???
Driving down the freeway all dash lights flash on including traction light and ABS and feels like my brakes are pumping even when I did not touch the brakes with dinging sound radio shuts off, horn does not work or the buttons on the steering wheel to work the radio. Very dangerous esp when driving down the freeway.
Left hand side toggle ( that switches turn signals on and off) causes lcd display to glitch out when the head light control is turned all the way up. Fried my lcd, replacement $6000, now I need to replace he toggle , $375. Only glitches on one particular setting.
Regarding complaint number: 11175198. The information provided to you in my complaint was sent to jeep us customer care, fiat chrysler automotive group (fca) first, and they fwd it to the jeep chrysler regional manager for approval to open a "star" case so engineering technicians at fca could look at the problem on the jeep as identified to you. The regional maintenance manager --refused to open the "star" case --fearing that the identified electrical & engine problem could cause a recall and safety recall. On 2-18-2019 I received a call from us customer care at fiat chrysler automotive, and told that because of the area management refusal to open a "star" my case with them has been closed.
I reported to my dealer approximately 6 months after purchase in 2014 that at random times while in motion all safety lights would illuminate, the radio would go off and there would be a ding noise when this happened. I even took it in on two different occasions and have called the dealership to inquire if there were any recalls associated with this since it happens while in motion. They have test drove it but never could get it to do what I described. The last time it happened was in december 2018. It just happens randomly, but is very scary and seems dangerous since all the safety lights illuminate, RPM gauge drops etc putting it in neutral and back to drive it seems to correct itself, but it is still very concerning
While driving moderate speed on a rural rd (est miles 115k), all red & yellow lights came on, "no bus" light came on which is not listed in the ops manual, windshield wipers came on, RPM gauge went to zero, fuel gauge went to empty, engine light flashing and engine running rough to possible stall. Within a period of time 10 min or so everything came back to normal and jeep ran ok. This has happen to my wife who is a rural mail carrier on many occasions. In fact in 1 week it happened every day and it has happened many times over a long period. Jeep service folks don't know what is causing the problem as the codes do not pin point the problem. They "think" possibility it could be pwr fuse box, main computer or fwd instrument panel ea at a cost of over $1000 to replace. Service folks want t jeep brought to them with lights on, gauges zero, engine light flashing but it's an intermittent problem and they are 30 miles or more away depending where the problem happens. Service folks have had the jeep for a total of 3 days in jan & feb and drove it over 150 mile and the problem never appeared. In feb 2015 while driving (24,171 miles) the engine light came "on" and jeep stalled in the middle of the road. It was restarted and driven so jeep was then taken to dealer and they found that a fault code said "wiring does not have enough slack between sensor & wiring causing poor connection". Replaced cam sensor & wiring. Fault cleared. Have photos of dash with "all lights and gauges showing zero and no bus light on and wipers going back and forth. I'll send if you need them but it all lights and gauges which are depicted in the ops manual. This possible engine stalling while driving and possible electrical fire is a safety issue. This problem has occurred over many months throughout 2018.
Check engine light. Mechanic told me it would cost about one thousand dollars for the repair of the oil sensor switch located inside the engine. The vehicle has about 31k miles and I'm the original owner. Please lmk if this is a common problem. [xxx]. My name is [xxx] vehicle is rarely used. At the time I noticed the engine light it had been sitting for about a week. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc
