40Fraudulent Safety Recall Completion Record — Recall V01 (NHTSA Campaign 19V-018) I am filing a complaint against Stellantis (FCA US LLC) and dealership Northwest Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram for fraudulent completion reporting of Safety Recall V01 (Takata Passenger Airbag Inflator Replacement) on a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. Key Facts: 1. Falsified Service Record: Dealer records state Recall V01 was completed on May 25, 2019, by Northwest Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram. The vehicle was NEVER serviced at this dealership, nor was this airbag inflator ever replaced. The defective Takata inflator remains installed in the vehicle. 2. Refusal to Audit: On Oct 5, 2026, Stellantis Case Manager (Case # 98255184) closed my case after simply verifying the fake dealer entry without requesting or verifying a signed Repair Order. 3. Lack of Authorization: Neither Stellantis nor the dealer can produce a Repair Order or Release Order bearing a physical signature for May 25, 2019. Requested Remedy: Investigate Northwest Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram for falsifying safety recall completion records and compel Stellantis to reopen Recall V01 for this vehicle to perform the physical replacement free of charge.
My 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has an intermittent ABS system failure. The ABS, red BRAKE, and traction-control warning lights illuminate while driving. A diagnostic scan returned active code C2200, indicating an internal anti-lock brake module fault. The original ABS module is Mopar part number P04779788AF. I inspected and cleaned the electrical connector and checked the wheel-speed readings, which appeared normal. The C2200 code returned active after these checks. When this fault occurs, the ABS and traction-control systems may be disabled, potentially reducing braking stability and vehicle control during emergency braking or slippery road conditions. I have also found reports from other Wrangler owners describing similar failures. Replacement modules are expensive and difficult to find. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether these ABS module failures represent a recurring safety defect.
2014 Jeep JK with 78,000 miles has a code C2200 abs module internal failure. The ABS module needs to be replaced. Part cannot be located as there is a national backorder
2014 Jeep JK with 53,000 miles has a code C2200 abs module internal failure. The ABS module needs to be replaced. Part cannot be located as there is a national backorder. This is a known safety issue with no resolution by Stellantis.
The ABS control module on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler JK failed approximately four years ago. Since that time, I have been unable to obtain a replacement module through Jeep/Mopar, leaving the vehicle without properly functioning ABS and related electronic stability/traction-control safety systems. I was initially told the replacement part was on backorder and waited for an extended period (August 2022). In January 2026, I contacted my Jeep dealer checking on the status of my quote q96683 from 12/3/25. I was required to prepay $1,342.54 for the replacement module, which I did. It is now September 2026, approximately eight months after I prepaid, and the part still has not been supplied. I have not been given a reliable delivery date and there is no ETA. My concern goes beyond an ordinary parts shortage. This is a failure of a safety-critical braking component, and Jeep owners appear to be experiencing extremely long waits because the manufacturer cannot provide replacement ABS modules. My vehicle has needed this repair for approximately four years. A manufacturer should have a reasonable means of repairing a failed ABS/stability-control system in a vehicle of this age. Owners should not have to operate vehicles indefinitely without these safety functions—or stop using otherwise serviceable vehicles—because the manufacturer cannot supply the necessary component. I am asking NHTSA to investigate failures of the ABS control module in 2014 Jeep Wranglers, the availability of replacement modules, and whether the number of failures and inability to obtain replacement parts represent an unreasonable safety risk. I also ask NHTSA to determine whether a recall or other manufacturer action is warranted. I have documentation of the dealer order and my approximately $1,342.54 prepayment for the replacement module and can provide it if requested.
Have had this issue since I believe 2020 or 2021. Either way a long time. This issue concerns the ABS control module failure. The warning lights (Brake, ABS and traction control) are lit showing unavailable / issue. The computer is throwing code C2200. The parts to repair are not available. Online forums show this is a big issue within the Jeep Wrangler community. It has been reported that Internally, Jeep has acknowledged the issue by placing new inventory on an "engineering review" hold after admitting that a massive batch of newly manufactured replacement parts had fatal software flaws.
The ABS module has failed and is apparently impossible to locate. I have been working with a mechanic for 8 months now, and both the dealership and MOPAR cannot provide a date for either a replacement solution or parts availability. This seems to be a widespread issue for the Wranglers from this period. Stellantis should at least provide an alternative. Thanks,
ABS module failure back order with no date of possible delivery
Recalled part not in stock, back-ordered, unavailable and no estimated time of availability; I did not receive a loaner vehicle/I need a loaner vehicle and would like an a “vehicle off road priority tag” placed on my VIN. Case filed with Jeep, case no.s 97461935 and 97468071.
The plastic oil filter housing was leaking oil onto my exhaust I had to quit driving it because of fear of a FIRE, SO MY QUESTION IS : IF YOU HAVE OIL RUNNING DOWN AND DRIPPING OF YOUR EXHAUST AND YOU GUYS WONT RECALL IT BECAUSE YOU SAY ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? YOU GUYS ARE NUTS, THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE MADE TO MAN UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM INSTEAD OF LEAVING THE CONSUMER STUCK WITH A PROBLEM THAT THEY CREATED AND AN EMPTY WALLET AS WELL, SIMPLY NOT FAIR MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM THE ENGINEERS THAT CAUSED IT, MAN UP AND MAKE EM TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF NOT THEN WHY DOES THE NHTSA EVEN EXIST AT ALL
XXX lights on dash for abs, brakes, traction came on upon commuting home from [XXX] to [XXX]. I went to Honda Fredericksburg and diagnosis was C2200 failed and the part was on back order. Returned to SC and followed up with Jeep and local automotive services and part back order but able to drive without replacement and still awaiting product. XXX engine light on in addition to the continual abs, brake, traction lights as well as vehicle going into limp mode. Took it immediately to local automotive services shop and received ABS control Module failure is now sending error to other sensors to put Jeep in limp mode and inoperable. OEM Part still on back order and unable to obtain from Jeep. I contacted Mt. Pleasant Jeep dealership service department as well and unable to get the part. No part available and unknown timeframe which leaves me to garage the Jeep while waiting for a new part to become available. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The traction control, cruise control, and ABS features were inoperable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, and DTC: C2200 was retrieved. It was determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced; however, the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.
• ABS Control Module. • Intermittent braking & locked calipers while driving in normal conditions. Vehicle would became unstable at highway speeds at times. Sometimes resolves. Ruined calipers & almost started a fire due to friction heat from failed system. • Yes • No • Yes & No. The warnings & uncontrolled braking happens almost simultaneously & at times Intermittently. Warning lights are now on continuous. Unable to drive vehicle due to the dangers of uncontrollable braking by the module.
The ABS module on my vehicle has gone bad. I have no antilock brakes, no traction control and my cruise control no longer works. Jeep no longer produces the module needed to repair my vehicle. Their customer service department refuses to help because I have no proof that I’ve attempted to purchase the part that isn’t available for purchase. There are thousands of people with this same issue. I’m also unable to sell or trade this vehicle because this is a major safety issue and it has diminished the value significantly. Please help me.
I own a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sahara JKU with approximately 67,000 miles. The vehicle has experienced a failure involving the ABS control module and related braking/stability systems. Current symptoms include: * ABS warning light illuminated * Brake warning light illuminated * Traction control warning light illuminated * Intermittent speedometer malfunction * Brake pedal occasionally vibrates and becomes soft during operation * Vehicle hesitates for several seconds when accelerating from a stopped position while dashboard warning lights flash The vehicle has been diagnosed by two separate Jeep repair facilities as having a failed ABS control module. I have been informed that replacement ABS modules for this vehicle have been unavailable for approximately nine months and remain unavailable as of today. This appears to be a widespread issue affecting Jeep Wrangler JK vehicles, with many owners reportedly unable to obtain replacement safety-critical ABS modules through Mopar or dealership networks. Because the ABS and traction/stability systems are malfunctioning, the vehicle cannot pass inspection and is unsafe for my family of four, especially during rain or emergency braking situations. This issue affects federally mandated vehicle safety systems, including anti-lock braking and electronic stability control. Owners should not be left without access to replacement parts for critical safety equipment for extended periods of time.
ABS module has internal failure rendering the ABS inop. This is known issue across JK body style Jeep Wranglers.
ABS control module has failed causing the ABS system and the traction control to fail. I have no antilock brakes now. I have had issues with braking multiple times, especially in loose traction. Manufacture stated there’s no available replacement parts to fix my condition. Traction control, ABS, and Brake lights stay illuminated on my dash. This also creates a distraction while driving.
Jeep ABS system failed. Known widespread issue. Replacement module is on back order after multiple revisions. Failed module disables the traction control with a warning on dash. Warnings also include Brake light and ABS light. With traction control disabled I have had the vehicle spin out of control in wet situation. Once it has caused me to lose control and end up off the road. Vehicle was at dealer for other recall and the ABS module needs to be replaced but on back order.
ABS Module failure with no replacement available. Unit available for inspection. Vehicle can not be safely driven. Doesn't brake properly and not reliable on wet roads. Speed control non functional. Vehicle has been at dealer for months. Vehicle has been inspected by insurance and Jeep dealership. Multiple warning lamps are lit. First appeared after accident. ABS module replacements are not available per dealer.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to stop. The traction control and cruise control features were inoperable. The parking brake, traction control, and ABS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined the failure was caused by the ABS control module. An unknown local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 161,000.
Death wobble. Dealership that has it now (Campbell Chevorlet in Bowing green ky) knows and fails to fix or report it.
ABS Module component has failed which controls anti-lock brakes, cruise control and traction control. Jeep has no stock of ABS Modules, and no production dates for potential fix. Therefore these Jeeps have reverted a decade or two in safety losing their ABS, traction control and going into limp mode, which prevents you from driving (I have not experienced limp mode but neither do I wish for this to happen.)
2014 Jeep Wrangler ABS module failure, part number 68145835AE Dash light for ABS and Brake warning light are constant on the dash. This is the 2nd 2014 Jeep Wrangler I have owned that has this problem. It has been diagnosed by the Jeep dealer and another mechanic. The part is on National back order. I ordered the first one in 2024 and it has not been available. I have done a bunch of research and believe a CHIP in the module fails but is no longer available. My Jeep is available for inspection.
The vehicle has been virtually trouble-free for many years. Recently, it began to have some issues. The vehicle is covered under a lifetime warranty from Chrysler and has been serviced by the local Jeep dealer. We brought the vehicle in to service in November, 2025. One of the issues that had just occurred was that the brake warning lights came on. The dealer said they were not able to replace the AntiLock Brake module because they were backordered. They said the vehicle would be safe to drive. We waited a month and still no part. I reached out to the manufacturer, and they said the part was not in stock and I would be notified when they would be able to send it to the dealer. It is no about 5 months later and still no part. The part(s) show as available from the Manufacturer online, however they continue to say there are none available for our vehicle. The Dealer service department said this is not unique to us, that it is a constant problem for them to get this part from the manufacturer. We need the vehicle for transportation and are worried that the defective part may lead to brake failure and an accident.
FCA is not handling this recall professionally. Dealerships are stating they do not handle the towing, despite this being a DO NOT DRIVE recall that has resulted in deaths. FCA has used a call center that employs people who barely speak English. Lack of ability to communicate with the customer and dealership staff should disqualify someone from serving in this capacity. The service department at my local dealership seems to be suggesting I just drive the vehicle down, which contradicts the DO NOT DRIVE portion of this recall. I do not believe FCA is acting in good faith to perform these recalls in a safe manner for the customer.
ABS pump is faulty, part is unavailable to purchase for years not safe when roads are icy or wet
My ABS module failed, which is a very well know issue with the 2014 to 2018 models. When the ABS module failed I was driving the vehicle and it went into fail safe mode while I was on the freeway service road. The speedometer stopped working and the vehicle would not go over about 20 mph. The vehicle was fine one minute and then I had no control of how fast I was going. I was with traffic that was going 60 mph and it could have been extremely dangerous for me or other drivers. The vehicle has been at the dealership since October 3rd, 2025 and has not been drivable due to this issue. It has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealership. There were warning lights but I was told that it was fine to drive until the part was available. It is currently on a national backorder for the last 18+ months without an estimated arrival date. The failure first appeared in June of 2024 and the part has been on backorder since then.
ABS module failure. Can’t even buy parts as they are unavailable. Jeep should be liable for this. If ABS prevents dangerous situations and the module is failed, they should be liable.
OIL HOUSING FAILED , CAUSED OIL INTO ENGINE AND EXHAUST
The ABS Control module has been out on my vehicle since May 2025. Which is when the part was ordered by my dealership through MOPAR as the part is only sold through MOPAR directly. This part cannot be replaced through third party and requires a MOPAR agent to scan to the vehicle. This has been a systemic issue where it has been referred to as a “galactic back order” In the cars manual from Jeep when there are issues with the ABS control module it lists this as a critical safety issues and to take it directly to a dealership for service. When this issue is present it disables Electronic stability control (ESC), Anti locking braking system (ABS), Descent assist control, and cruise control. This increases safety issues especially when driving on slick winter or wet roadways. I wonder how many other people had an issue like this and contributed to an accident? When an inquiry is submitted to find out more about this issue from the order it’s going to be sent out on x date then x date comes and it gets pushed back now it’s y date then z. per stelantis this part is under their “engineer review” and now it’s unknown when they will release this part.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the seat belt, parking brake, and ABS warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the dealer, who determined that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.
The ABS module was determined to be faulty via a code scan in July 2025 by the dealership. I took the vehicle to another mechanic for confirmation and this was determined to be accurate. A new module has been ordered but is on backorder and may not become available for months as many other owners are dealing with the same problem. I was told that it was still drivable and this is a daily driver vehicle. This now appears to be causing the vehicle to go into "limp" mode, not allowing the vehicle to accelerate at times when pulling into traffic.
ABS Module Failure. No fix or replacement part available. No recall, no Anti- lock brakes ,no traction control , disables cruise control , no solution available per Jeep ?
I own a 2014 Jeep Wrangler, Rubicon. I have not been able to drive my Jeep for 3 years because the ABS light is on and I am unable to get the part to replace it. I have heard from several other Jeep owners that they are experiencing the same ABS failure. The ABS light has been on since 2022 and there are no MOPAR ABS replacement parts. I would like to officially report this failure because I have not been able to resolve this issue. I have taken my Jeep to several mechanics and they cannot repair this issue because their are no parts available.
I was driving on I35 on 10/23/2025 when I saw a small spark then my vehicle caught fire and i exited the vehicle called 911 Lewisville Fire Department and was informed that they responded to vehicle fire on 10/23/2025 at 9:45 pm, their case number is 2025-0012175. The representative stated that the Lewisville Police Dept. also completed a report, case number 250068809.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked on a driveway on two occasions, the contact noticed that the vehicle was leaking oil onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to Seaside Park Service Center, where it was diagnosed with an oil filter housing failure. The contact was advised that it was a common failure. The mechanic recommended replacing the oil filter housing with another model. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The mechanic referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a safety complaint. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000. The VIN was unavailable.
ABS module failed and the Jeep began violently shaking on the freeway. There is a significant risk of the brakes locking up which put myself and the general public at risk. A dealer confirmed however there are no parts to buy from Stellantis/Mopar. They are on an "indefinite backorder". Even getting them rebuilt is impossible because they are unable to get the parts. ABS, brake, and traction control all came on when the module failed and the death rattle started. This has left me with a dangerous and almost completely useless vehicle for over a year with no resolution in sight. This is a public emergency with so many vehicles that this is happening to and we need a resolution.
I had Gresham 4 Wheel drive do several repairs on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler and the same day I drove it back home I experience death wobble which put me at risk by having me to stop at a highway to be able to control my vehicle which was extremely dangerous for me and other drivers. I have talked to the manager but he isn’t willing to have my vehicle towed to the shop and now I haven’t been able to drive my vehicle for a month now and have now lost hope of getting my vehicle fixed and safe to drive.
ABS MODULE FAILING IN 1000'S OF VECHILES AND JEEP HAS NO SOLUTION TO ANY CUSTOMERS. NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WORLD WIDE. LEAVING PEOPLE STRANDED IN REMOTE PLACES UNABLE TO USE A EXPENSIVE VECHILE. ABS MODULE FAILS AND THEN YOUR VECHIL IS STUCK IN GEAR WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION, SPEEDO FAILS AND VECHILE SITTING ON BICKS FOR YEARS UNTIL SOME TIME A PART BECOMES AVAILABLE IN A SCRAPYARD.
I had repairs done to my Jeep in April 2024. At that time, I was made aware that my ABS control module was faulty and no longer functioning. I have been periodically checking with my mechanic and online to check the status of this part, only to find that it has been an ongoing issue with some models having this part unavailable since 2019. At the end of October 2025, I began having a major safety issue in which my Jeep's engine will shut off without warning and the only reason I will be aware is because the wheel will no longer turn easily (trying to turn without power steering). In addition, there will at times be a fluctuation of power either having a an extreme spike or drop in RPMs causing the Jeep to lurch while driving. The cruise control cannot be used with this issue, and I have also experienced malfunctions in the traction control (i.e. hydroplaning in a very small puddle in the road that a normal car could handle, let alone a Jeep). I have been waiting patiently for a year and a half and there are no updates available for Jeep owners, and the issues caused by this lack of parts could cause fatalities on the road or leave individuals with a very expensive, undrivable vehicle followed by the additional cost of purchasing a new vehicle. This is unacceptable for an extremely large and popular vehicle manufacturer to be unable to come to an agreement with parts manufacturers to resume production of a crucial vehicle part.
