My steering wheel will lock up while driving, my windshield wipers start going off, spedometer goes to zero and won't work, the gas light goes to completely empty and won't move, when I push on the gas it won't go, my engine light goes off and starts saying service module and lists several different things. When I put it in park it won't shift into gear so I can drive it. I have to turn it off and back on several times until it will finally let it go into gear. I have tried to get it fixed and they said the ABC module needs to be replaced but it's been on National back order for over a year and can't find one available. I'm trying to find even a refurbished one and have not been able to.

Approximately 4to6 months after I bought my jeep following issues: electric bolt comes on. At a red light engine shuts off. Have to stop in middle of traffic to restart and pra it restarts. Sometimes this takes 3 or 4 tries. Sometimes many times when I try to start my car will not start. Many times I am unable to shift the jeep and takes 40 min to get the throttle into gear. Wheel locks. Windshield wipers come on at random times. This is a severe safety hazard. I did buy an extended warranty and they tell me it is not covered. I’ve followed up for any recalls and they tell me no recalls. I had some minor recall done a few months ago and now my jeep is worse than before. The stress of this is immense. Very very unsafe and I do not have the money to fix it. I love my jeep. I got one because my daughter knew how much I wanted a jeep so I purchased one a month after she died. This is a real safety concern and I have contacted dealership multiple times. Also informed the BBB. Please help me. Thank you. [XXX] .

ABS module has failed, according to dealership. The car has been in the service department at the dealership four times now in the past month. All of the warning lights go on, the car drives sluggishly, and I am told the car is undrivable due to the potential loss of brakes. Apparently there is a huge backorder of this part, but I purchased a max care extended service warranty and I feel that the dealership needs to make good on this. It's becoming a breech of contract.

We are having continual issues with the visors on our Jeep where both the driver and passenger visors fall out of their mounting brackets. Not only do they impair vision, but the drivers one has caught in the steering wheel and almost caused a crash. Please note this vehicle is used solely for highway use and has never been off road. I spoke with the dealer and they said this is a known issue and recommended I purchase 3rd party aftermarket clips on Amazon or alternatively they could replace the whole assembly for a significant fee.

Apr 14, 2025Brakes

The vehicle started to have braking issues where the brakes would sometimes apply both front brakes or one one front brake causing the vehicle to swerve erratically when braking. Sometimes the right front brake would also stay applied for extended periods of time causing the vehicle to pull hard and the braking system to overheat so hot that I burned my fingers on the tire rim after parking the vehicle and inspecting. The Jeep has been at the dealership for repairs for over 7 months under warranty and they don't know how to fix the vehicle and are not willing to replace it! This is a massive safety concern that should make everyone think twice before buying a Jeep when the brand wont even take care of there customers!

Vehicle is inoperable. Dealer says it is a bad ABS module. 80+ codes were thrown, dashboard lights flickering on and off. Right brakes locked up on mechanic test drive. All ABS functionality failed. The part is not being manufactured at this time. I have been told that there is no date when to expect the part's availability. This seems to be a common issue that should be recalled.

Driving on interstate 35 south in fifth gear. There was a loud BANG! and then we lost power. Barely made it off a tight overpass and we saw the smoke. The car was quickly on fires we got out as it started to engulf the jeep with flames. It was a total and complete loss - and very dangerous.

Sun visors on driver and passage side pop off while driving. They are not held in position due to faulty parts and cause a hazard while driving because they swing uncontrollably while in motion. Not safe. Dealership has not helped with this hazard. Ive researched and this is a wider issue with other jeep owners all experienced the same driving hazard.

Feb 23, 2025Steering

In two separate incidents (six months apart) and without warning, the Jeeps power steering suddenly failed. An indicator warning did come on but not prior to the failure in both instances. In both situations, I was attempting to exit very busy highways and little to no control over my vehicle. Some time after I had exited the highway, the Jeeps powering steering suddenly came back on. When I returned home, I had the vehicle inspected at the dealership both times and they were unable to determine any reason as to why the steering would have failed and without warning. Without an identifiable and fixable problem, I am very concerned about my personal safety and the safety of others on the roadway in the event that this should happen again without warning.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Jeep Wrangler 4-door 4xe verdict →
