ABS control module failure on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. I can not find a new, use or rebuilt replacement. The earliest appointment that I can get at the local dealership is July 30, 2026. I went to a local independent repair shop. They verified the ABS control module failure but also can not find a new, use or rebuilt replacement. This happened to my daughter on her 2016 Jeep Wrangler about a year ago and my son on his 2016 Dodge Ram pickup. It took my son two years to find a replacement part. My daughter got tired of waiting and traded in her Jeep. Three failures in the same family can’t be a coincidence.

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited failed, resulting in a C2200 internal ABS module fault. The failure disables the ABS, electronic stability control, and traction control safety systems. The failed component is available for inspection upon request. The initial symptoms were ABS, traction control, and stability control warning lights appearing intermittently. The issue was later confirmed through diagnostic scanning to be an internal ABS control module failure. As the condition progressed, the vehicle lost the speedometer signal and began experiencing abnormal automatic transmission behavior, including delayed shifting, holding gears longer than normal, and higher than expected engine RPMs. This appears to be related to the vehicle losing accurate speed information from the failed ABS system. The vehicle was inspected and diagnosed with the C2200 ABS module fault. The required OEM replacement ABS module is reportedly unavailable through normal parts channels and has been on extended backorder, leaving owners with limited repair options and significant repair costs. This failure presents a safety concern because critical driver assistance systems, including ABS and electronic stability control, are disabled. In addition, the loss of vehicle speed information can affect transmission operation and normal vehicle drivability. The problem appears to be a known failure affecting other vehicles of this generation, and replacement parts are difficult or impossible to obtain through standard repair channels.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was illuminated. While driving, the vehicle experienced a loss of traction, a pulsating or pumping sensation in the brake pedal, and skidded easily upon heavy brake application. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V896000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, Jeep models were not included in the recall parameters. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with electronic control unit (ECU), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, and ABS failures. The vehicle was not repaired because the parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 128,000.

I recently had the C2200 Code for ABS module failure. The fact there are no current parts available and there has been a waiting list for years is extremely troubling. I'm not sure how having a faulty ABS system is not an issue that warrants an investigation. There are a lot of Chrysler/Jeep vehicles on the road that are having to be driven in an unsafeanner due to not being able to repair the damaged parts. This is unacceptable.

I have a Bad ABS control module error code. Code C2200. The Module is not available to purchase. I had it back ordered for a year already till the dealer cancelled the order and refunded me the money. I am forced to drive my jeep this way. This needs to be addressed by the Jeep. This is a known issue in the Jeep community.

am the original owner of this 2015 Jeep Wrangler, which I purchased new. The vehicle has been properly maintained according to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. I have records documenting routine maintenance, including regular oil changes. At approximately 75,000 miles, I began hearing a persistent ticking noise from the engine. Because I was concerned that the noise could indicate a mechanical problem, I scheduled an inspection with an authorized Jeep dealership. The dealership diagnosed the vehicle with a failed rocker arm that caused damage to the exhaust camshaft. The dealership advised that the intake camshaft remained in good condition, indicating that the failure was isolated to the exhaust valvetrain at the time of diagnosis. This type of internal engine failure at approximately 80,000 miles was unexpected for a properly maintained vehicle. My concern is that if this condition is not diagnosed promptly, continued operation could result in further engine damage, loss of engine performance, engine misfire, or potential engine failure while the vehicle is being driven, creating a potential safety hazard. While researching this issue after receiving the diagnosis, I found numerous reports from other owners of vehicles equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar engine describing similar rocker arm and camshaft failures across Jeep owner forums, Reddit, Facebook owner groups, and YouTube. Although I understand there has not been a recall for this condition on my vehicle, I believe the number of similar owner reports suggests the issue may warrant further review. I am submitting this complaint so that NHTSA is aware of the issue and can evaluate whether similar failures are occurring with sufficient frequency to justify additional investigation.

CATASTROPHIC SAFETY COMPONENT FAILURE AND INCIDENT.The Antilock Brake System (ABS) Hydraulic / Electronic Control Module suffered an immediate, internal electronic failure, triggering active diagnostic trouble code C2200. This structural internal defect completely disabled the anti lock brakes, electronic stability control, and traction control systems simultaneously. This total system shutdown caused a severe, life threatening incident on a high speed highway in TEXAS. While driving with my children inside the vehicle, the brakes failed to respond normally during an essential braking event, resulting in a near-miss collision and nearly causing our JEEP to roll over due to the sudden loss of electronic stability and traction controls August 2024. The lack of basic safety infrastructure makes this vehicle completely unsafe to operate, posing an extreme risk to my family and other drivers on the road.The component failure and active code C2200 were officially inspected, reproduced, and confirmed by a factory authorized Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership workshop. However, the manufacturer (Chrysler/Mopar) has placed this critical safety component on an indefinite, long term engineering backlog. The dealership parts department formally verified a national backlog of over 436 unfilled consumer orders for this exact part, stating that many safety compromised owners have been left stranded without a repair for 1 to 2 years! Mind you I immediately called JEEP customer care August 2024 and I am still dealing with them till today! The manufacturer is failing to provide safety critical parts within a reasonable timeframe, forcing consumers like my partner and I to choose between operating a vehicle with a severely compromised braking system or losing our primary livelihood transportation. This massive supply chain breakdown constitutes an ongoing, severe public safety hazard that requires immediate federal investigation and a mandatory safety recall!! What are our rights?

I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious safety defect affecting my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. More than a year ago, the ABS module in my vehicle failed. Since that failure, the ABS warning light, brake warning light, and traction control warning light have remained illuminated. As a result, my vehicle no longer has functioning Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), traction control, electronic stability control functions, or cruise control. The loss of these safety systems significantly increases the risk of an accident, particularly during emergency braking situations, wet road conditions, loose gravel, or any circumstance where wheel lockup or loss of traction may occur. Without ABS, the wheels can lock during hard braking, increasing stopping distance and reducing steering control. Without traction control and stability control, the vehicle is more susceptible to skidding, fishtailing, and loss of control. I have contacted multiple Jeep dealerships seeking repairs. I have consistently been informed that the ABS module required to repair the vehicle is unavailable and has been on indefinite backorder. Dealership personnel have been unable to provide any estimated availability date or permanent repair solution. While researching this issue, I discovered that numerous Jeep Wrangler owners have reported the same ABS module failure. Online forums, dealership service departments, and consumer complaint websites indicate this is a widespread issue affecting many Jeep Wrangler vehicles. Owners have reported waiting several years for replacement modules, with some being told the part is discontinued or unavailable indefinitely. Dealership personnel have been unable to provide any estimated availability date or permanent repair solution. I believe NHTSA should investigate this issue as a potential safety defect affecting Jeep Wrangler models. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate the widespread ABS module failures, the ongoing lack of replacement parts.

I am writing to formally and collectively express my growing alarm and frustration regarding the widespread failure and unavailability of the ABS control module (commonly referenced as Mopar part number 68259556XX) used in 2011–2018 Wrangler JKs. This component is a critical element of my vehicles' anti-lock braking, traction control, and electronic stability control systems—features required for safe operation and federally mandated since 2012. For over two years now, owners have documented sudden ABS module failures that result in: Complete loss of ABS and ESC functionality “Limp mode” behavior, dramatically reducing drivability Illumination of multiple brake system warning lights Vehicles becoming inoperable or unsafe to drive Failure to pass state safety inspections (in states like NY and PA) This safety-critical component has been placed on indefinite backorder, and in many cases completely discontinued, leaving no viable path for repair or replacement. Some dealerships have confirmed that new replacement modules issued in 2023–2024 were defective or failed to program properly, and were later placed on engineering hold by Jeep corporate. In the meantime, affected owners have been forced to seek out unreliable salvaged units or third-party rebuilders at their own cost and risk. Despite the clear danger posed by these failures, Stellantis has not issued a formal recall, technical service bulletin, or warranty extension for Wrangler JK owners. This inaction stands in stark contrast to: The recall of over 200,000 Grand Cherokees and Durangos (Recall ID 94B) for ABS/ESC failures in 2024 The recall of over 300,000 Ram 2500/3500 trucks for similar brake module issues in 2025 The parallels are undeniable. Jeep Wrangler JK owners are experiencing the same dangerous loss of safety systems, yet have been left without acknowledgment, recourse, or remedy. This inconsistency is unacceptable. My family cannot afford to buy another car to replace this Jeep.

I purchased my 2015 Jeep Wrangler approximately a year and a half ago. At the time of purchase, the ABS, Traction Control, and Brake warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard. The dealership told me these lights were caused by a simple sensor issue that was on backorder and would be resolved later. About two weeks ago, while driving, my Jeep suddenly went into limp mode. I had two independent mechanics inspect the vehicle, and both confirmed that the diagnostic codes pointed to a failed ABS Module. I then contacted the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. They acknowledged that the ABS Module is still on backorder but claimed they did not believe the module was the issue, despite the diagnostic results from two separate mechanics. The ABS Module has now completely failed, and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. The ABS, Traction Control, and Brake systems are not functioning, and the Jeep cannot be operated normally. I am unable to drive my vehicle due to this safety‑critical failure. This appears to be a widespread issue with ABS Modules on this model year, and replacement parts are unavailable. I am submitting this report so NHTSA can investigate whether this ABS Module failure represents a broader safety defect that requires action.

I parked my car fully functioning with no lights on the dash board, after getting back in the car i had the abs light, brake light and stability light on. I checked the codes and i had a C2200 code.The ABS module is bad and the part has been back ordered since 2021 from Jeep/Stelantis. Now the part is discontinued and there is no solution at this time. These cars are driving on the road with no ABS or stability control because the manufacturer has not released a replacement part in over 5 years. This is a major saftey concern and there have already been multiple accidents attributed to this defect. Were not even asking for a free fix we just want our vehicles able to drive safely and there is no option to fix it. This problem is only getting worse as time goes on. This is a widespread issue with 2014-2018 wranglers.

On 4/09/26 my trac control/ ABS and BRAKE light illuminated on the dash and the hill descent assist flashes . When diagnosed at shop code C2200 was found. ( module internal failure). This is a known problem to stallantis who has had problems for several years now with this module. They now have an engineering hold on it with no plans of fixing the situation. This is a mandatory safety equipment and a national recall should be made, and they should have to fix their equipment. How is it safe or even legal to let this type of thing happen?

My ABS module failed on my Jeep wrangler. I have talked to multiple dealerships and every single dealership has stated that this is a known issue on Jeeps and the manufacturers are well aware that there are issues with them. The dealerships have also stated there is no current fix for the ABS modules except sending them out to people who claim they can rebuild them. The majority of companies that claim they can rebuild these modules are fraudulent. This is a major liability, not having proper breaking systems, especially on a vehicle prone to being more unstable on the road due to the nature of its design. I have been dealing with this for at least 4 years with no resolve. Dealerships that claim they can fix them charge outrageous prices. The manufacturers should be held accountable for this inherit design flaw on these vehicle vehicles and issue a recall instead of allowing vehicles braking systems to fail and then making the customers pay to fix them

I purchased a used 2015 Jeep Wrangler from a dealership in New York. At the time of sale, the vehicle had an open urgent safety recall (19V-018) for a defective Takata passenger airbag inflator. This recall was never disclosed to me by the dealership prior to or at the time of purchase. The recall advisory was noted on the NYS inspection report conducted the same morning the vehicle was sold to me, but was not communicated to me in any way. I discovered the open recall after experiencing repeated mechanical failures following purchase. Four days after purchase the vehicle overheated and had to be towed — the coolant system was found to be completely empty. An independent licensed mechanic subsequently inspected the vehicle and stated on record that the mechanical defects appeared to be pre-existing conditions that existed prior to the sale. The vehicle currently has an unrepaired Takata airbag inflator which the manufacturer has identified as capable of exploding and sending metal fragments into the vehicle interior at high speed, risking serious injury or death to occupants. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The recall remains unrepaired. The dealership was contacted and a manager verbally acknowledged they did not disclose the known defect prior to sale.
