NHTSA Complaint #11716454 — 2015 JEEP WRANGLER

I am one of thousands of Jeep Wrangler owners whose ABS modules have failed, not due to normal wear and tear, but because it is a defective part. The result for my car is that the ABS system indiscriminately applies braking to a wheel that is not necessary. This results in steering problems, overheated brake pads, and vibrations in all four wheels. The ABS module needs to be replaced, but there are none in the U.S. to buy. The part has been on back order for years! Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, has not done anything to resolve the supply chain issues with this part. I am aware of some Jeep owners who have left their Jeeps at a Jeep dealership for over a year, waiting for a replacement part! In some states, such as Hawaii, where my Jeep is located, an annual safety inspection must be passed to drive the car on Hawaii's roads. With ABS and traction control warning lights, my Jeep won't pass. At this point, I cannot drive my Jeep legally or safely. The NSHTA has been made aware of the safety issues of Jeep Wranglers driving with faulty ABS modules or, in some cases, disconnected ABS systems. A national recall should have been implemented years ago.
