Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the odometer and Carfax report listed the mileage at 119,293; however, the mileage on the title was 124,544. The police was contacted.
ABS module failed forcing jeep into limp mode. The jeep dealership said the part is on indefinite back order. C2200
I am filing this complaint regarding my 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Sahara and a failure of the vehicle’s ABS module. The ABS module has failed, leaving the vehicle with a malfunctioning anti-lock braking system and related safety features. My greater concern is that the replacement ABS module is reportedly no longer being manufactured or made readily available. This leaves owners with very limited options to repair a critical safety system, including relying on used or refurbished components of uncertain reliability. The ABS system is an important safety component of the vehicle, and the inability to obtain a new replacement module creates a significant safety and consumer issue for owners of these vehicles. A vehicle that is otherwise mechanically serviceable should not effectively become unrepairable because a manufacturer-discontinued electronic component for a critical braking system is no longer available. I am asking NHTSA to investigate whether the lack of availability of replacement ABS modules for the Jeep Wrangler JK presents a safety concern and whether the manufacturer should be required to provide an appropriate remedy or continued access to replacement parts.
In October 2025, the Anti-lock Breaking System (ABS) Brake, traction control, downhill control indicators all illuminated. This also impacts cruise control and acceleration from a stopped position. My repair technician placed an order for the necessary ABS control module with MOPAR. The expected delivery date was August 2026. In August 2026, MOPAR informed them the part was on a nationwide back order with no ETR for resolution. I placed an order for the ABS Module in August 2026, with a suggested date of delivery in two weeks. MOPAR has advised us today 18 August 26, there is no ETR for this critical component to be available. Anti-lock brakes are federally mandated in all vehicles 2012 and beyond. Not having this module disables multiple required safety components in the vehicle not just ABS and puts the consumer, other drivers at risk.
I am contacting you to report a serious safety and parts availability issue involving my 2015 Jeep Rubicon. Jeep is no longer making the ABS module for my vehicle available and I have been unable to obtain a replacement module anywhere else. This has been an ongoing issue for several years now. The ABS system is an important safety component, and without a functioning ABS module, the vehicle can not be driven safely. What is particularly concerning is that Jeep has effectively left owners with no reasonable way to repair this critical safety system. This is not a consmetic or convenience related part. The ABS system directly affects the vehicle's ability to brake safely, particularly during emergency braking or when traction is compromised. I would like NHTSA to investigate whether Jeep's failure to make replacement ABS modules available for these vehicles creates an unreasonable safety risk for owners. I also believe NHTSA should determine whether Jeep should be required to provide a remedy, replacement parts or other means of restoring the ABS system to safe operating conditions. Please let me know what additional information is needed to formally document this saftety complaint. Concerned for my safety and the safety of my family, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I was driving our 2015 Jeep Wrangler on the highway probably going around 60MPH and had a deer run in front of her and had to brake suddenly. The jeep skidded and fish taled slightly before coming to a complete stop and I avoided hitting the deer. The ABS system did not work. Ironically, the ABS and Traction Control lights had come on occasionally but would then go off. It's hit or miss whether these lights come on when you start the vehicle. We took the jeep to Barnes Automotive in Westminster Maryland and they diagnosed that the ABS module (Part 68259556AE) was bad and needed to be replaced. They said they tested it by clearing the error, but then after driving it around town, the error would appear again. They informed me that there is a national shortage of the part and they estimated there is a 90 day backorder. I can't wait 3 months to not drive the vehicle so they let me know just to be aware the vehicle will be ok to drive but to know that it doesn't have ABS if I need to make any sudden stops. Sounds like a very common issue with Jeep Wranglers.
I have a C2200 diagnostic code for an internal fault on my ABS module. This is on a national backorder, and the Jeep dealership told me there in no current ETA. Therefore, I have been driving around with no ABS. Sometimes the transmission will surge or bog down causing erratic behaviors on the road which nearly led to me rear ending someone. I worry what will happen if I am ever forced to slam on the brakes in an emergency, but unfortunately, I have no choice but to continue driving it.
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact was informed during a vehicle state inspection of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V018000 (Air Bags), associated with the VIN; however, the part to do the recall repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the recall but informed the contact that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue but informed the contact that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Abs, brake, and traction control lights on. A jeep dealership was able to discern that the abs module is the cause and that part is on back order for months. In the meantime my vehicle is unfixable even if I were to find a used part from a donor vehicle.
Incident: On the morning of July 14, 2026, (rush hour), I was driving my 2015 Jeep (VIN [XXX]; approximately 28,000 miles) southbound on Interstate 75 toward Miami International Airport. I was traveling at approximately 75 mph when several dashboard warning lights suddenly illuminated: •Brake warning •ABS •Sway bar •Stability control •Transmission The Jeep speed dropped dramatically while the engine rpm increased sharply. The sudden deceleration caused a near pileup among the vehicles behind me, but no collision occurred. Aftermath: After the abrupt slowdown, the speedometer displayed no reading. To protect the engine, I continued operating the Jeep at 3 to 3500 rpm max, and an estimated speed of 20–25 mph. I was able to exit Interstate 75 a few miles from the initial incident and eventually reached Park 'N Fly near MIA Airport. Dealer Findings: Upon trip return on XXX, I took the Jeep to Bomnin Chrysler-Jeep (invoice XXX). The dealer advised me that: •The Jeep's ABS had failed. •The reduced-speed condition was a built-in "protective" feature known as “limp mode.” •The failed ABS module, part number 68259556, is reportedly a common issue in Jeep JK models. •Stellantis no longer manufactures with part. As a result, the Jeep became inoperable for normal use and had to be transported approximately 150 miles from XXX to my residence. Safety Concern and Requested Action: I was fortunate that the road was dry and that no semi-truck was immediately behind me. The passenger vehicles following me were able to react safely, preventing a collision. It is unacceptable that a component directly related to braking and vehicle stability is reportedly prone to failure, discontinued, and that a reliable alternate part does not exist. Given the seriousness of the failure and the sudden loss of speed it caused, I believe ABS module 68259556 should be investigated for a a potential safety recall covering the affected vehicles.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate into a higher gear and went into LIMP Mode. The ABS warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel and was also illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was driven back to the residence. A few days later, the vehicle operated normally, but the failure recurred after being driven several times. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer, where a technician diagnosed the vehicle's ABS module failure. The contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired out of pocket. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
About a year ago my dashboard lit-up with a variety of ABS warning lights. My diagnostic module indicated a failure of the ABS module. I paid over $1400 for the part from Mopar and am still waiting with no guaranteed delivery date. Mopar calls the part a "special order," but should be part of the standard parts repair inventory. The braking has become unreliable (or "mushy") with extreme swerving on sudden breaking. Evidently, this is a wide-spread problem being experienced by many Jeep owners. I contend that there should be a safety recall before there is a serious accident or class-action.
A variety of warning light came on my display in September 2025 indicating a failure of the anti-lock braking module. I paid $1137.01 with Mopar Genuine Parts only to find that the part is on "universal back order." That was almost a year ago! It doesn't seem "usual and customary" to charge for a part before it is shipped. Also, driving the car in this condition poses a significant safety risk for which there appears to be no resolution. Aftermarket parts are not available or have poor customer reviews.

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.
