2016 JEEP WRANGLER Service Brakes Problems

The ABS module failed 18 months ago. Jeep has been telling me that it's on back order this whole time with no ETA. In the meantime it will not pass inspection and I have no antilock brakes.

Abs system fails periodically causing the jeep to go into limp mode driving in traffic.

The ABS Module (Part 68259556AD) on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler began failing about two years ago. When the ABS warning light turns on, both the ABS and traction-control systems stop functioning, creating a serious safety hazard: greatly increased stopping distance, reduced steering control under braking, and higher risk of loss of control on wet or slippery roads. The warnings, once intermittent, are now continuously illuminated, meaning the vehicle has no working ABS or traction control at any time. Performance Jeep of Somerville (Somerville, NJ) inspected the vehicle around September 2023 and confirmed the ABS module had failed. They also confirmed the replacement part was unavailable, with no estimate from Jeep on when it would be supplied, and suggested a possible upcoming national recall—none has been issued. The ABS module has now been on national backorder for roughly two years. Jeep’s parts division states the part is still “supported” but on “heavy backorder.” Jeep/Stellantis corporate opened a case, promised to “fast track” it, and later reported supplier “tooling/manufacturing” issues, offering no timeline for availability despite repeated follow-ups. Please note that Performance Jeep has informed me that they have several aging orders in for the ABS Module (Part 68259556AD) that they're unable to fulfill, so it would appear that on a national basis, there must be many Jeep owners such as myself who are experiencing this problem with no remedy in sight. Because the part cannot be obtained, the vehicle cannot be safely driven or repaired. This is a safety-critical defect with long-term parts unavailability. I am requesting NHTSA review and intervention, as the manufacturer has been unable to supply a federally required safety component, leaving the vehicle in an unsafe condition with no remedy.

I have been waiting on a replacement ABS module for months , was told I could continue to drive the jeep by a jeep dealership, the part is on back order and no plans to put in productions; my shop can see that there is ove500 people waiting on this part that effects the operation of the Safety features designed on 11/29 my jeep would stopped abruptly in traffic and would not go forward or reverse just stuck - lucky i was not hit in the rear or causing a major accident, after turning on /off i was able to go 100 yards to get it out of traffic, and needed a tow . sitting at dealership - jeep payment , no jeep and no answers - along with many other people driving jeeps on the road today . -this may of caused other issues to my jeep as well.

ABS module faulty with none available to have fixed under warranty. I was told to drive it anyway.

My ABS Control module has failed. The Jeep has been in the shop now for 75 days with no MOPAR part delivery known as of 11/28/25. I have had 4 ABS wheel sensors go bad and not the module is bad. The vehicle surges, will not accelerate, etc.

ABS module started to fail about a year ago but was only recently identified (within the last two weeks). ABS module listed for back order with more than 500 orders ahead of mine within Jeep dealership system. Order placed outside of dealership via Mopar website but listed as shipping next month (16-28 December).

The ABS Module has failed causing the stabiltrak , brake light , and ABS lights to come on the dash. We took it to the dealer and evidently this is a common issue with the jeep wranglers and dodge rams.. So much that the part is back ordered and there is no eta. Some people have been waiting over a year. They say it’s under engineering review. Anyway My Wife was driving the other day and someone had pulled out in front of her and she hit the brakes real hard and it made a weird noise and the brakes locked up. Almost causing her to swerve and lose control. I have the service report that says ABS module and backed ordered with no eta.. I have heard other peoples jeeps just going over to broke mode and can only drive 30 mph. It’s crazy? What are we the consumer supposed to do. Can’t afford to trade it in for another vehicle. But need a vehicle for work or keep driving it and hope brakes or something else doesn’t fail when you need it… Thank You

My ABS module has been out/faulty for more than two years. I have been unable to get a repair/replacement part due to national back orders. Chrysler has been no help at all. I believe this is a safety issue that Chrysler isnt taking serious.

The abs module has gone bad at less then 70,000 miles the dealership confirmed this. There are lights advising of the abs and traction control light on and I no longer have anti lock breaks or traction control.

our Abs control module is firing out an internal error code. Mopar has the unit on back order. It has been on back order for more than a year. To get a used one costs 5 times more than a new one. This is a huge problem for people when it comes to safe driving.

My 2016 Jeep Wrangler is displaying warning lights (Brake, ABS, Traction Control) on the dashboard. I took it to my Jeep dealership where they diagnosed the issue as an inoperative ABS Module part number 68259556AD. They placed it on order but it was back ordered with no available delivery date. My Jeep is now not able to be driven.

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited ABS, Brake, & Traction Control warning lights all came on at once while driving. Once jeep stopped vehicle went into limp mode limiting power and MPH to less than 30 MPH. Which is a huge safety problem when all the roads to and from out house are 45 MPH. ABS Module is bad per the dealer. Vehicle is VOR in the system, and undriveable. No estimate when a new part will arrive.

The jeep has an ABS module that went bad. I have been waiting months- perhaps over a year, and there is still no estimate on the part coming in. It is an essential part, one with no generic replacement. It is illegal for jeep to just leave all of us hanging.

In February of 2024, my ABS, traction control and brake warning lights came on. This disables the ABS, traction control and cruise control. After scanning the vehicle for codes, there is a C2200 internal fault for the ABS control module. Making sure it is not a sensor issue, I tested all four wheels and all check out fine. Looking up the C2200, I would need to replace the module. The problem is, the module has been on national backorder since December 2023 with no end in sight. My only option is to either send that module out to a company and pay $450 plus shipping to have it rebuilt or to pay upwards of $1400 for it on eBay. Even then, it may not be a genuine or new part. I have a vehicle with a safety feature that failed and another 2016 Jeep Wrangler that is starting to show similar symptoms. Stellantis / Mopar is of zero help and will not tell me when or if the part will be available.

The anti lock brake module is not signaling correctly, causing the car to lose power for a second every few minutes, braking is more difficult, and there is no traction on slippery surfaces. The cruise control also is not working, and the brake, ABS and traction warning lights flash every few minutes while operating. It was in the shop for a month waiting on the new module, and it is back ordered with no estimated date for shipping. My vehicle is under warranty and I’m not able to go outside the terms to get it fixed, and Mopar is not making any effort to provide a solution. The dealership even said they had another that had been sitting in their shop for over a year with the same problem. The car is drivable but only until the system goes completely, which will be when it goes into emergency limp mode at a random time while driving, so driving it means taking on that risk.

ABS control module cannot get the part so i would think this would be a safety issue because abs is not working. I know alot of other people who have a jeep have the same proplem my part has been on back order for 4 months now. So I'm concerned about not having ABS thank you

ABS control module malfunction. Replacement part not available from dealership or 3rd party supplier, with item on continuous backorder. ABS and Traction control lights permanently on whilst engine running. Potential safety concern across model nationwide?

The ABS module has quit working and Stellantis and our local Jeep Dealership keeps saying the part is back ordered or under Engineering review and this has been going on for 2 years. With the ABS module not working some of the vehicles systems do not work as designed. Obviously the ABS system is deactivated. The module also controls the cruise control, anti hill assist and there is noticeable difference of how the automatic transmission shifts and at what RPM it shifts. Since the module has been declared and not available and appears there is no replacement available from Stellantis and Jeep this leave me with a vehicle that parts have failed that are important and designed for the vehicle safe operation and not recourse available to me or other others of Jeep Wranglers with similar or worse problems. Stellantis and Jeep need to come up with an alternate ABS Module or a fix to the modules on my vehicle.

The ABS Control Module has failed (part number 68259556AD). I have discovered it has been unavailable from Chrysler/Jeep for over 2 years. I read where this is a dispute between Chrysler/Jeep and their supplier of the part. I feel it dangerous not to have my ABS system, and it seems the manufacturer is doing nothing to make the part available. This needs to change.

ABS control module failure. The part is discontinued and no longer available. This makes my vehicle unsafe to drive for myself and others on the road. Thus, being unsafe to drive makes he vehicle useless!

Brake failure referenced in case # 11667897. See attached photos for reference to affected areas.

Left front brake caliper not releasing. Replaced caliper and brake pads, problem still exist. After some research found that there has been an issue with brake line. Apparently the mounting bracket on the line has in some cases pinched the line restricting fluid flow causing brake to not release fully. Have seen multiple instances of this problem on line. Curious why Jeep has not addressed this issue? Am currently waiting for new brake line to replace existing one to attempt to correct the problem. For reference I am a certified mechanic and this is my personal vehicle which is why I am preforming the repair myself.

ABS module is failing (confirmed by repair shop) and needs replacement, and ABS light had illuminated. After finding out the Dodge/Jeep has discontinued manufacture of this part that is in every 2012-2020 Wrangler, this poses a very serious safety concern as no replacement part is available. Possibility of purchasing a used one that ultimately will have the same result as the original one that was in the vehicle. A recall needs to be made before this becomes a major issue.

For the last 1.5 years the ABS control module light, check engine light, and the traction control light is on. I have taken my jeep to multiple dealers and mechanic shops for this issue and I am repeatedly informed the ABS control module is not in production. It is the only vehicle I own and I fear for my safety. I need to replace this part but the manufacturer is not selling to the dealer or mechanic shops. Can you help me find this part?

December 2024 the abs module failed on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Dropped it off at the mechanic and it is now May 2025 with no help from the manufacturer. This is a severe safety issue with the brakes locking up and causing the jeep to not be functionable. I keep seeing recalls for other years makes and models. I need someone to help with a recall on my jeep's abs module and to get a solustion to get my jeep back functioning safely again. I can not drive it at this moment because of this issue.

Brakes are sticking causing extreme heat and damage to pads, rotors and calipers and I'm afraid there is a fire hazard as well. The brake also occasionally engage during acceleration at around 45 mph and cause a severe wobble that could also be a safety issue as the vehicle becomes hard to control. Dealership claimed the problem was a single brake line that was replaced, but the problem is still occurring and now they claim it is a second brake line but my mechanic assures me it is a faulty ABS module and the online reports indicate this is a real problem with jeep wranglers.

This vehicle along with many others jeep wranglers have an issue with the abs control module. It has a code for internal processor fault. Some days the vehicle is fine and others it acts up and it won’t shift gears or the abs system activates by itself or the speedometer doesn’t work. This has been going on for almost a year now because there is no parts aviable to fix it. The dealer keeps saying it’s in engineering review but they been saying that for almost a year now. That’s how long mine has been acting up. My wife won’t even drive it with the kids in the car because she doesn’t know when it is going to act up. Luckly I only work 5 miles from my house so I’ve been driving it. If they know there’s an issue with these modules they should be doing something faster to fix it or there should be a recall. Something needs to be done.

ABS module needs replacement. Impossible to find one in stock. Dealership claims it’s on back order for a year.

The ABS control module has malfunctioned which lead to the ABS, traction control, and parking brake light coming on while driving. This is a safety concern due to a malfunction with these systems. These systems are meant to help control the vehicle when either sliding or braking quickly. An OBD scan tool was used, which read the code C2200 to confirm the malfunction.

In December of 2024, my jeep felt like a ghost was pressing my brakes. It got worse over time despite any troubleshooting we did and replacing sensors did not work. It went inot limp mode and would not drive out of second gear. Took it to my mechanic to find there is a national issue and back order problem with all ABS modules for Mopar/Jeep. I have read many jeep forums online and this issue started in 2020. As of now since January there is no true ETA on the replacement part. My jeep sits while paying for it and unable to repair. We sought a company to try to rebuild the old one and they can't either since the replacement chips are back ordered as well. Luckily I noticed the issue while driving slow on a dirt road, however, this issue could have pulled the vehicle into oncoming traffic or off the side of the road. Jeep has not issued a recall or any help for the ones that are not inoperable. Someone needs to step up and take responsibility for this issue. There are thousands of people involved from what I have read. Please help!

ABS module defect. Unable to obtain part for almost a year. March 16, 2024 vehicle started shaking violently. All dashboard lights started blinking. Was driving approximately 50 mph at the time. Tried slowing down, no matter the speed, shook so hard could not keep vehicle in lane.

While driving the ABS would activate the left front wheel and pulls to left. Previous all of the wheel sensors had been replaced. Took to dealership first time and could not duplicate problem. Problem happened again and return vehicle to dealership. The ABS, traction and possible another light was on. Took back to dealership and they did flow chart and found the ABS control module was bad. The part was on national back order. Car was non drivable from March 25, 2024, till February 21, 2025, when part came in. This dealership is in a small town, and they had approx. 8-10 vehicles waiting for the same ABS problem (module). This to me is a very hazardous problem because this happen while on highway driving 55 mph with a single mom and her child, thank goodness there was not an accident. NOTE: Do have invoices to send not available at this time. Dealership York Automotive CDJRF, 1765 US 231 Crawfordsville, IN 47933

ABS module inoperative, needs replaced. Brake light,ABS light and downhill assist lights all illuminated as dash warning lights. Jeep has no replacment or repair option available. This is my second report for this problem.

ABS MODULE

ABS Contol Module Failed in December 2023. Jeep did not have the part at the time, I was told it was on engineering hold. Fast forward to March 2025 and the part is still not available from any dealer and they cant tell me when it will be available. I am forced to drive the vehicle with no antilock brake feature and Jeep will not repair, provide part, or provide a loaner vehicle after over a year of waiting. If something happens, I will definitely bring a lawsuit against them. I know that this is a very common problem and there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Jeep owners that are in the same boat as me. If we can't rely on ya'll to take some action, what else are we left to do???

My Jeep has a failed ABS module, which Mopar fully knows was a factory defect. They have stopped making the part and now we have dangerous, junk vehicles with no fix.

The ABS module is reporting a C2200 error indicating replacement of the module and it seems to be a systemic problem with this module. Chrysler has the part backordered and I understand people have been waiting over a year to get one. I hope you can put pressure on Jeep to get these parts out or issue a recall.

ABS Module failed and no longer operable. Part isn’t it available for repair for over a year.

Brake Line Brackets are rusting on interior on bracket at higher rate than rest of bracket. This design does not allow for clearance of the brake line and is a failure point. This is causing the brake lines to compress and brakes to fail. Vehicle has 65k miles and no other issues This is rejected by Chryslers warranty division.

Loss of ABS, Traction Control

ABS and traction control lights recently started coming on upon starting the vehicle. This morning, I took to repair shop and had brakes checked. I was told nothing was wrong, that brake pads look good, brake fluid level is good. When I returned home, I checked the NTHSA website to check for recalls on these modules. Saw another complaint regarding the exact same thing I am experiencing. That person stated that the dealership indicated that no fix is available as yet due to a supposed redesign of these components. So now what? I have no choice but to drive a vehicle that has ABS and traction control safety systems that are unavailable. While on the site, I also checked for recalls and found 5 recalls for which I was never notified, including air bag non-deployment. Great. I want to get rid of this vehicle, but alas, interest rates make it impossible.

ABS and traction control lights came on. Took to dealership in July and told the ABS control unit was faulty. Dealership ordered part with expected delivery on 8/12/2024. Went to dealership and was told part was in redesign with no real date for availability. Now I have a vehicle without ABS, traction control, four wheel drive, or cruise control with no date for a fix. The ABS and traction control are safety systems that are unavailable.

Everything looks good... There's no issues with the car..

On July 19, 2024, my ABS and TRAC Control light (Anti-Lock Brake Light) came on. I took my vehicle in to the Myrtle Beach Jeep Dealership in South Carolina and after a complete checkI was informed that C2200-ANS Module Internal will require replacement and the part was currently being re-engineered and was on backorder for at least thirty days. When even tried calling other dealerships and was told that they are having the same problem. On August 27, 2024 I called and spoke with my Jeep service advisor (Jennie Jo, 843-448-1191) and was told that the ABS module is still be re-engineered and will not be available for another thirty days or longer. I saw on-line that numerous Jeep owners are having this serious problem with no relief. There has been no-recall and we cannot drive our vehicle do to the safety risk. I do not know why Jeep is not providing some relief or alternative to customer. I have never experience this type of situation. The dealerships are waiting on Jeep to provide the part and the part is not cheap, over $800 dollars to replace. Jeep needs to inform customer that this is a major safety issue and conduct a mass recall of these other Jeeps. We need help.

The warning lights indicating a problem with ABS/Traction system. Vehicle taken to Wallace Jeep on [XXX] and diagnosed as "ABS Module Internal Failure". Service Manager advised the module was unavailable for several months with MOPAR indicating the "part was on hold until engineering review was complete" and had been that way for several months with numerous extensions and no definitive available date and they were unable to order one for my vehicle with 28 already on order. Living in South Florida where it rains almost daily, driving without operable ABS and Traction Assist for several months now with no idea when parts available is very hazardous.

"Jeep Death Wobble" - I was informed by my mechanic that the Automatic Braking System module will need to be replaced. This was after numerous attempts to fix what is being referred to online as the Jeep Death Wobble online - widespread complaints online and on Jeep forums. Previous attempts to resolve this issue included alignment, new pads, brake pads, new brake rotors, 4 new tires. Despite all of this expense ($2k +) the jeep continued to wobble erratically and unsafely at around 44 MPH because the brakes are engaging or partially engaging. The temperature of the brakes and rims exceeded the range of the brake temperature sensor my mechanic used so he cautioned the car could vehicle could catch on fire if driven more than a short distance. The ABS module is on back order for months so I am out of luck to fix the vehicle. Jeep claims this is only a supply chain issue but based on what I see as widespread problems, it seems to also be a demand issue - this is happening to many other drivers and should be a safety concern for instability (hence the name Death Wobble) if not also for fires.

2016 Jeep JK 3.6l v6 Symptoms brake warning light,abs warning light, traction control warning light on. Cruise control will not function with the above warning lights. Diagnosis: faulty abs module per obd2. Additional problem is the unavailability from Chrysler for the replacement part which affects many Jeep model years. This is a common complaint with Jeep owners. Chrysler contacted with no resolution. 05

My first issue is my windshield wiper fluid only works or comes out once every couple days. My 2nd issue is my TPM system has been blinking and does not show the pressure on very hot days. Both issues have been going on for over a year. 3rd issue is I can no longer use the AM/FM radio. 4th issue is my brakes went out due to a faulty rear passenger side brake hose in March. Over the past 2 weeks something has been wrong with using my brakes. Today I just found out both front brake hoses are defective. Due to these defective hoses, my rotors also need to be replaced. My automotive mechanic said this is very common. My car only has 54k miles on it. I feel like these issues should not be happening on a car that only has 54K miles on it. I feel like many children are in danger because of these hoses being defective. What if a parent has this happen and they are unable to stop on the interstate or anywhere really. I almost wrecked when my brakes went out in March, but luckily I was able to stop before hitting anything. The car behind me almost hit me as well. Can you please investigate these issues as soon as possible before anyone gets seriously hurt. Thank you.

The ABS warning lights come on and go off intermittently. Occasionally when I brake I can feel the brake pedal shudder. This problem has occurred at various speeds from 5mph to freeway driving at 65mph. This problem has been happening for several years but only occasionally. I would estimate it started at about 30,000 miles only occasionally and started more frequently about 50,000 miles. We love our Jeep and are diligent about maintenance. Now it is almost constant. I have taken it to a trusted independent mechanic who could not detect the problem over the past 2 years because it didn’t happen while in the shop. We have had a brake job done and that has not corrected the problem. We took it to get hoses replaced yesterday and got a call from our mechanic stating that the ABS warning system went on for them and they were able to detect a faulty sensor and will replace it. This most recent incident happened when moving vehicle to lift for repairs of heater hoses. The date is 5/24/2024. We have experienced similar and exact problems as other owners complained except have not taken our vehicle to the dealer. Seems it’s about time something be done by Jeep.

*The ABS alert is on and it is disabling the antilock breaking system. The dealership has inspected the vehicle. *The safety at hand is that my antilock breaking system is not working. I was told that there is a chance if I had to break suddenly, the vehicle ABS will not work and the breaks will lock up, causing me to skid. They cautioned me to pump the breaks in the event I need to suddenly stop. *The Dealer has confirmed that this module is broken. They have inspected the vehicle and they were the ones who provided me with this information. *I was told the ABS module is inoperable at this time and the part has been on back order since I reported it in December 2023. *The alert/notification warning lights go on each time the vehicle is started and stays on the entire time the vehicle is on. The lights first appeared in early October (intermittently). We took the vehicle to Jeep and they could not duplicate the lights coming on or the problem and sent us away. *The warning lights continued to come on intermittently and we took the Jeep back to Jeep/Chrysler in December and we were then told the ABS module was broken. They placed an order for the part at that time. *I have called the dealership multiple times to see when the part would arrive and the dealership informed me that the ABS module for my vehicle is back ordered due an engineering review in progress for that part. Each month I am told the same information. I called Chrysler customer service and have been assigned a Case Manager. Today, the Case Manager gave me the same information and told me that the issue is under review and I will receive an update every 5 days.

The ABS Traction Control Module in this year, and surrounding year, Jeep Wranglers continues to fail. Now Jeep has stated that the part is under engineering review and not available till June timeframe. Therefore, these vehicles no longer have anti lock brakes or traction control safety features. This is a widespread issue and should be a recall on these modules.

Park Brake was set and parked against the curb. Jeep started to move on its on with no one in the driver or passenger seat. It rolled over the curb and started over the hill pulling me along side it as I was reaching for an empty bottle in the floor board causing me injury.

Had right front brakes, caliper and rotor replaced two times in the past 6 months. Same problem. At times, brakes feel like they are stuck and will not release. Standard transmission and there is no roll back on inclined driveway. Drove it 5 miles home when it started messing up. The brake light and ABS light came on. Got home and the brakes were smoking. Didn't drive it for three days and the same thing started to happen. Having to do a hard break is dangerous-the brakes will not catch and it jerks to the left. Drove it back home. Went maybe 15 miles and this time when I stepped on the brakes, it went all the way to the floor. The brake pads are missing, Caliper is stuck. Rotors are half of being brand new. All three items-pads, caliper, and rotor were replaced 1 month ago. I have the receipts. This is the second time the brake pads fell out at $350 a pop. Mileage is approximately 55,500 for a 2016 Jeep Sahara.

My 2016 Jeep Wrangler that has 48K miles was running and in park. After about 20 minutes of being in the park position my ABS and Traction Control Light came on. I took my Jeep to my local Autozone to have the code read and it came back with C1032 and C102B. I had the sensor replaced and ensured that the connections were clean of any debris. Once sensor was changed it took about 20 minutes to clear the ABS and Traction Control light from the dash. I drove my Jeep later that night and all seemed fine until I attempted to stop at a speed of 5-10mph. At that time the ABS kicked in on my vehicle but no warning lights illuminated. I once again checked the newly changed sensor along with the wiring to ensure there was no breaks in the connections and I found none. Not sure why my ABS engages at at such a low speed after a new sensor was installed.

My wife was involved in an injury accident 12/02/2023 due to failure of the ABS Module not activating and the Air bag system not deploying. She was cut off by a hit and run driver. She slammed on the brakes went into an uncontrollable skid lost control on the Highway went off the road tumbled end over end 4 times no air bag deployment. No ABS or Air bag warning lights were on both systems failed.

This Jeep is a right hand drive wrangler. Airbag light, traction control light came on, and my horn quit working. Cruise control quit working, and then my antilock brake system was malfunctioning. I couldn't figure out why. So I went to both the Jeep dealership, and the local autozone where they scanned my Jeep for codes, and it's saying a bad clockspring. They said there is a known recall for 2016 models, but mine isn't included. They said to figure out why this Jeep is not included. . Why is my Jeep not included in the already known recall for the bad clock springs?

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY ABS MODULE ALREADY. THE JEEP ONLY HAS 41,700 MILES ON IT. I AM JUST REPORTING IN CASE THIS COMES UP DOWN THE ROAD

Front driver side brake calliper locked while driving causing the vehicle to stir hard to one side and the wheel to overheat. After replacement, a few weeks later, the back left did the same this time causing the vehicle to pull, drive hard and smoke to be emitted from the wheel. Now several months later the front passenger side needs to be replaced too.

This in regard to my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. For the second time in less than 37,000 miles I have had a wheel speed sensor go out. (The first time, as I reported on an earlier NTSB complaint form, was the left front speed sensor.) This time it was the right rear speed sensor. I was driving in traffic when the ABS and Traction Control lights came on, along with my Jeep Wrangler braking on it's own. The lights would clear, only for it to have it happen again a few miles down the road. I took it in to a repair shop and their computer scan reported the right rear wheel speed sensor failed. I had the right rear speed sensor replaced which cured that problem. I have had wheel speed sensors fail twice in less than 37,000 when I have never experienced it even once in any other vehicle. Having your vehicle brake unexpectedly on it's own in Florida traffic is scary!

2016 Jeep JKU 78,000 miles NOT driveable because front end wobbles and steering wheel vibrates. Increasing to 60 MPH stops the wobble. This happened to me twice and someone else driving my vehicle. Had new tires installed and front end aligned - thought it was fixed but then the problem became worse. I just got back home after a 20 mile drive and the shaking and wobbling was horrific. I did not feel safe in this vehicle. Upon returning home the right front wheel began smoking so I grabbed a fire extinguisher just in case. The right front wheel was extremely hot to the touch. After cooling off and no fire, I conducted a visual inspection of the right front brake caliper and noticed it had circular markings on caliper in 3 different areas. I am not going to drive this vehicle again until the dealership can fix it.

I am reporting a dangerous brake part on all of the later model wranglers. The front brake lines collapse because of a clamp holding the brake line. This happened to our 2016 Jeep Wrangler willys edition it is garaged and only has 25,342 miles. The dealer wanted 2700 to redo all of the front brakes. This is a cross section of both hoses below. I bought the replacement lines and they have the exact same defect. Poor engineering here. The metal should not clamp the hose but be rolled around it so the hose has some clearance. I do not know who to report this to but I paid the dealer $180 to lie to me about it needing calipers rotors and hoses. Took it home and I diagnosed the issue. Spent around $200 for new hoses and my labor to change them out and bleed the system. I have temporarily put on the oem lines but am looking for some better aftermarket alternatives as the replacement is crimped and will fail soon. The left front caliper seized up locally. Right one was bad also. So glad it seized near our neighborhood.

ON THURSDSY 5/13/2021 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:15-5:20PM, I WAS DROPPING MY DAUGHTER OFF TO WORK AND I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD THEN THROUGH THE U-TURN TO GET BACK ON THE OTHER SIDE. I PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE ROADWAY INITIALLY ABOUT 10MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE JEEP ACCELERATED TO ALMOST 80 MPH AND I SMASHED THE BRAKED AND IT WOULD NOT STOP AT ALL. THE RPM'S WERE STEADY GOING UP. I PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RIGHT BEFORE I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LIGHT GETTING READY 6O GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ON THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME. ONCE THE CAR FINALLY CAME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVED UP. I PUT IN PARK AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF WITH THE IGNITION. I THEN RESTARTED AND WAS SCARED THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THERE WAS NOTHING UNDER THE BRAKE. MY FLOOR MATS WERE FLUSH AND FLAT AND THE ACCELERATION WAS SO SCARY. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN THE NEXT MORNING, FRIDAY THE 14TH AT 10 AM BUT THAT THEU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT UNTIL 7-10 DAYS. I DID NOT BRING IT AS THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL CALL BACK AND SPEAK WITH SOMEONE ELSE FOR RESULTS. THE TECH EVEN TOLD ME THAT THIS HAPPENED TO HIS BROTHER THAT ALSO HAVE A JEEP. THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THIS THAT I'VE FOUND. SOMEONE WILL LOSE THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

BETWEEN 41,258 MILES AND LESS THAN 43,000 MILES, FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS LOCKED UP. HUSBAND THROWN FORWARD TOWARD WINDSHIELD -- WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES -- AT CITY DRIVING SPEED BUT WAS SAVED BY HIS SEATBELT FROM GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. IT ALSO FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE VERY GRABBY EARLIER ON THAT TRIP AND MORE ACCELERATION WAS NEEDED TO MAKE THE CAR TRAVEL FORWARD AS THE WHEELS SEEMED NOT TO MOVE FREELY, LIKE THEY WERE BEING HELD BACK. ROTORS SEVERELY SCORED, COULDN'T BE MACHINED. BOTH FRONT CALIPERS, ROTORS, HOSES, PADS, LINES, FLUIDS ALL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT ACCORDING TO KOONS TYSONS JEEP IN VIENNA, VA. IN A 2 SECOND GOGGLE SEARCH OF JEEP OWNER'S FORUM BRAKE COMPLAINTS, THERE ARE OVER 300 SIMILAR BRAKE CALIPER AND LOCKING UP COMPLAINTS FOR 3RD GENERATION WRANGLER VEHICLES BETWEEN 2007 AND 2017. THE DEALERSHIP SHARED WITH US THAT THE NEW PARTS THEY USED FOR OUR FRONT BRAKE REPAIR ARE THE RE-ENGINEERED OEM PARTS DESIGNED BY JEEP AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE ORIGINAL FRONT BRAKE PARTS THAT SHIPPED ON THESE VEHICLES FROM THE FACTORY (YET THERE IS NO RECALL TO DATE -- IF JEEP RE-DESIGNED THE ORIGINAL PARTS, THEY CLEARLY KNOW THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE, PLUS THEY SUPPLY THE JEEP OWNER'S FORUM??). WE WERE GIVEN AN INVOICE OF $1,500+ FOR THE FRONT BRAKE REPAIRS. WE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF THIS FRONT BRAKE SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO WORK WITH US TO DISCOUNT THE PRICE AS WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES, BUT JEEP DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR US DIRECTLY. JEEP DID ACKNOWLEDGE ON THE PHONE THAT THEY MAY NEED THEIR RECALL DIVISION TO LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WE ALSO HAPPENED TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE WITH OUR SON, WHO THEN TOLD US HE HAD THE SAME BRAKE ISSUES WITH HIS 2016 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WHICH HAD TO HAVE 3 BRAKE REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE HE GOT RID OF IT BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

I HAVE GONE THROUGH OVER 4 SETS OF MUD TERRAIN TIRES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT ARE UNEVENLY WORN AND NO ONE KNEW WHY. MOST RECENTLY, THE REAR RIGHT TIRE HAD A SIDEWALL GASH AND HAD A FLAT TIRE, WE BEGAN SMELLING SMOKE AND ENDED UP TAKING THE JEEP INTO BRAKEMASTERS AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS FAILING AND FALLING APART. WE HAD THE REAR DIFF REPLACED, BRAKES, ROTORS AND PAID $5000 OUT OF POCKET AND AS I WAS DRIVING FROM HOME TO TUCSON THE OTHER DAY TO MY MATERNITY APPOINTMENT, THE BACK RIGHT TIRE BEGAN SCREECHING WHILE NOT BRAKING AND BEGAN SIZZLING AND BURNING WITH OIL COMING OUT FROM THE TIRE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT THE NEAREST BRAKEMASTERS AND THEY SAID THAT AN ENTIRELY NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NEEDED. NOT ONLY COULD THE JEEP HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT I KEPT LOSING CONTROL OF THE STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY WITH A 2 YEAR OLD AND ONE ON THE WAY. I AM HOPING TO SEE SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION ON THIS AND TO BE COMMUNICATED WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

BRAKES SEIZED UP WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES. IT REQUIRED A FULL FRONTAL BRAKE REBUILD. THE MECHANICS SAID THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND YEAR. BECAUSE THEY WERE "SEIZED" UP, IT CAUSED EVERYTHING TO HEAT UP AND RUINED THE CALIPERS, PAD AND ROTARS. IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO THE MECHANIC.

THE BRAKES KEEP GETTING LOCKED UP. I"VE HAD THE CAR SINCE MAY 2020 AND HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED TWICE AND THE FRONT AND BACK BRAKES DONE TWICE AS WELL. NOT TO MENTION, TODAY I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AGAIN AND STILL DONT KNOW WHAT THE "FIX" WILL COST

THE JEEP WRANGLER HAS 37K MILES AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BREAK CALIBER LOCKED UP. WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED/IDENTIFIED THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH. WHEN BREAKING THE JEEP MADE A STRONG PULL TO THE RIGHT ALMOST SENDING THE VEHICLE OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD..

Mileage: 37,000

WHEN I CRANK MY VEHICLE AND PLACE IT IN DRIVE THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND THE BREAKING SYSTEM BEGINS TO LOCK DOWN THE BRAKES AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK TO A STOP. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE I AM ON THE PUBLIC ROADWAY. THE DOWNHILL BREAKING ENGAGES WHEN ALL OF THIS IS GOING ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL CLEAR ITSELF OFF AND THE VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY TILL THE NEXT DAY.

WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR TWO ABS SENSORS, ONE IN THE FRONT AND ONE IN THE REAR. THIS LAST SENSOR BLOWOUT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPING AT A LIGHT. I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AND FELT THE VIBRATION IN THE BREAK PEDDLE AS I TRIED TO STOP. THE JEEP THEN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY AFTER I GOT IT STOPPED AS I TRIED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD A PROBLEM MOVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AS THE ABS KEPT KICKING IN AND GRINDING ME TO A STOP. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SENSOR WAS HAVING A ISSUE PICKING UP THE SPEED OF THE TIRES. MY JEEP WRANGLER SPORT IS A 2016 4 DOOR MODEL, IT SPENT 2017 IN A STORAGE AND I BOUGHT IT LATE 2016. IT CURRENTLY HAS 68795 MILES ON IT. IN THE 2 1/2 YEARS I HAVE HAD THIS ON THE ROAD I'VE REPLACED TWO ABS SENSORS, HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR MISFIRING AND MY AC UNITS BLOWER MOTOR SEEMS TO BE FAILING. AS A COMPARISON, I HAVE A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER THAT HAS BEEN IN FOR LESS REPAIRS.

THE FIRST INCIDENCE, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES SEIZED WHILE DRIVING ON A DRY EVENING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 25MPH CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO NEARLY COLLIDE AND FORCING US BOTH OFF THE ROAD. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BH A MECHANIC AND HE FOUND NOTHING SO SAID TO BRING IT BACK NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR A WEEK AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN FROM THE DRIVEWAY. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON THE ROAD NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND SEVERAL OTHER TIMES FORCING DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO PASS. I FIND IT HAPPENS IN THE FIRST MILE OR 2 AFTER STARTING A DRIVE AND THEN IS OK. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SUGGESTED REPLACE ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL MODULES ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKES AND REPLACE THE BRAKES AND PADS SINCE THE SEIZING OF THE ABS HAS CAUSED PREMATURE WEAR OF THE BRAKES. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS BUT CANNOT AFFORD $1300 REPAIR ESPECIALLY IF IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER SAFETY RECALL.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENTERING THE ROADWAY (RIGHT TURN) AND AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH THE BRAKES APPLIED WITHOUT WARNING OR HUMAN INTERVENTION. WHEN THIS SITUATION OCCURRED 2 DASH WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED, THE 'ESC ACTIVATED' AND THE 'ABS'LIGHT ACTIVATED. THIS CREATES AN UNEXPECTED SITUATION FOR THOSE VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND AND NOT EXPECTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THEM TO SUDDENLY BRAKE. JEEP HAS INDICATED THE FAILURE OF A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TO BE THE CAUSE OF THIS SUDDEN BRAKING.

Mileage: 21,000

THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE STARTED STICKING AND PULLING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE. IT ALSO CAUSED A SQUELLING SOUND AND EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE WHEEL. THIS WOULD RECTIFY ITSELF BUT THE BRAKES FELT WEAKER FOR STOPPING THIS HAPPENED OFF AND ON FOR A FEW DAYS . WE TOOK TO A LOCAL GARAGE BECAUSE IT WAS DANGEROUS PARTIALLY LOSING CONTROL. HE FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE A COLLAPSED BRAKE LINE. WE BOUGHT THE JEEP BRAND NEW AND IT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 39000 MILES. HE SAID THE BRAKE LINE WAS EITHER DEFECTIVE AND OR JUST A CHEAP PART. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION LOSING PARTIAL CONTROL. IT ALSO RUINED THE BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR DO TO GLAZING.

THE SPEED SENSOR FOR THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2016 JEEP WRANGLER FAILED AND LED TO COSTLY REPAIRS. THE BRAKES LOCKED UP SO BAD THEY STALLED THE JEEP WHEN I LET OUT THE CLUTCH. THE JEEP LITERALLY SLAMMED ON IT'S OWN BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT ME HAVING APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF COURSE DID NOT COME ON AND I NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE REPAIR COST $1200. THE JEEP DEALER TOLD ME "THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM".

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A T-INTERSECTION, FROM A FULL STOP, ACROSS ON-COMING TRAFFIC PASSING LEFT TO RIGHT ON A TWO-LANE ROAD, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. JEEP BEGAN ROLLING FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION WHEN ANTI-LOCK BRAKES INITIATED WITHOUT ANY DEPRESSION OF BRAKE PEDAL, SLOWING ACCELERATION TO AN IDLE COAST. I DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR TO FLOOR, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND AND CONTINUED TO COAST THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. WE COULD FEEL THE ABS WEAKLY GRABBING AND LETTING GO, AND THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. THE CAUTION TONE SOUNDED AND THE JEEP DISPLAYED AN ABS CAUTION LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL CAUTION LIGHT. WE COASTED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, VERY NARROWLY AVOIDING A SIDE-IMPACT COLLISION WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC FROM OUR LEFT AND A REAR-IMPACT COLLISION WITH TRAFFIC COMING FROM OUR REAR. OBDII SCANNER SHOWS REAR ABS SPEED SENSOR BAD. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MANY SAME OR SIMILAR INCIDENTS WITH JEEPS AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000-50,000 MILES. JEEP HAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RANCHO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (8010 BALBOA AVE, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111, (858) 560-7100) FOR AN OIL CHANGE, HE WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS NEEDED TO BE FILED DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE REPAIRED FOR THE SAME FAILURE A YEAR AGO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,626.

VEHICLE NOTIFIED IT HAD A FAULT IN THE ABS/ESC SYSTEM VIA THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH. OCCURRED AFTER STARTING THE CAR AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT. VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY AT FIRST AND ASSUMED THIS INDICATED THE SYSTEMS HAD A FAULT AND WERE THUS DISABLED. HOWEVER, VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER, STUMBLE, AND NOT ACCELERATE WHEN MOVING FROM DEAD STOP. INCLUDING STOP LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, CROSSING DIVIDED HIGHWAYS AND INTERSECTIONS--TURNING AND STRAIGHT TRAVEL. PAVEMENT CONDITIONS WERE DRY/LEVEL, NO WHEEL SPIN OCCURRED. 3 OCCASIONS OVER 2 DAYS RESULTED IN NEAR ACCIDENTS. ONCE AFTER TURNING RIGHT FROM A STOP SIGN, ACCELERATING THROUGH FIRST GEAR AND REAR BRAKES BEGIN TO CYCLE WHILE POWER IS CUT FROM ENGINE. CAR BEHIND HAD TO SWERVE AROUND SO AS NOT TO COLLIDE. NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. NEXT EVENT WAS CROSSING 2 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY FROM CENTER TURN LANE. AGAIN SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER AND BRAKING AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED TO REAR WHEELS. LESSER EVENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS WELL. VEHICLE THINKS IT NEEDS TO ENGAGE THE ESC SYSTEM. I ARGUE THAT THE ESC SYSTEM SHOULD GO INACTIVE WHEN A FAULT IS DETECTED, NOT CUT POWER AND AUTO APPLY BRAKES DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE UPDATED (QUALITY OF THE COMPONENTS NOT WITHSTANDING). THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AS THE CAR IS UN-DRIVEABLE, EVEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. MOREOVER, EVEN AFTER REPAIR THE FAULT STILL "LIVES" WITHIN THE CAR SHOULD IT HAVE A SIMILAR COMPONENT FAIL IN THE SYSTEM. CONTACTED DEALER TO ARRANGE REPAIR, VEHICLE HAS 40,600 MILES (NEVER OFF ROAD). DEALER STATED IT IS LIKELY A REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, COMMON FAILURE, NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS COMMON BEHAVIOR FOR THIS TYPE FAILURE. CONTACTED FCA ON ISSUE AND LOGGED CASE, CLAIM THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS, COULD NOT EXPLAIN.

WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CITY CONDITIONS THE "ESC" LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOLLOWED BY THE "ABS" WARNING AND THE "HILL DECENT CONTROL" FLASHING. I WAS NEARLY AT MY INTENDED DESTINATION SO I CONTINUED THEN PARKED AT MY DESTINATION. ONCE I FINISHED WITH MY BUSINESS, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTED THE "ESC" AND "ABS" LIGHTS ON STEADY, AS I TURNED RIGHT ONTO THE CITY ROADWAY THE "ESC" STARTED FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, RPM'S DECREASED, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT STALL. I EASED OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND IT SEEMED TO STABILIZE, THEN AS APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, SAME THING, VEHICLE HESITATED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TURNED RIGHT, OFF THE ROADWAY, ONTO A SIDE STREET AT WHICH TIME THE "ESC" AND "ABS" LIGHTS EXTINGUISHED AND THE NORMAL OPERATION RETURNED. THE ENTIRE SCENARIO OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES DURING THE NEXT 3 MILES OF CITY STOP AND GO DRIVING, AFTER WHICH THE "ESC" AND "ABS" LIGHTS REMAINED ON STEADY AND THE VEHICLE NO LONGER HAD ACCELERATION ISSUES. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME SAFELY WITH THE "ESC" AND "ABS" ILLUMINATED STEADILY. PLAN TO TAKE TO WARRANTY REPAIR FACILITY, SUSPECT FAULTY WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, BUT UNABLE TO KNOW WHICH WHEEL SENSOR HAS FAILED.

VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF RAPID ACCELERATION ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ENGINE CONTROLLER LIGHT WILL SUDDENLY COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL SEEM TO LOOSE POWER. APPLYING THE BREAK TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO HELP AS THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE BACK UP TO DRIVING SPEED ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED (ALMOST LIKE WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL RENEGADES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKE TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE'RE THEY RESET THE CODE SEVERAL TIMES AND RELEARNED THE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR WITH A FIRMWARE REBOOT. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE AND JEEP IS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS THE VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UP TO 30-35 MPH WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING LOTS OR AWAY FROM STOP SIGNS. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN IN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE.
