2015 Jeeps have know issues with the TIPM and ABS module. There have been recalls for these on Dodges and other model jeeps. Something needs to be done to fix this. You can't even get a new ABS module for this jeep and haven't been able to for years. Please help us. This is a huge safety concern!!
ABS Module error: C2200 causes jeep to go into limp mode when accelerator is pushed hard. near miss on collision, lack of abs causes skidding and possible loss of control.
While driving on the highway, my Jeep completely shut off and I lost control of everything the staring and I have no clue why it just shut off. I’m worried if I drive it I could do this while I’m on the highway and the third lane and I may end up in a collision.
I purchased a used 2015 Jeep Wrangler from a dealership in New York. At the time of sale, the vehicle had an open urgent safety recall (19V-018) for a defective Takata passenger airbag inflator. This recall was never disclosed to me by the dealership prior to or at the time of purchase. The recall advisory was noted on the NYS inspection report conducted the same morning the vehicle was sold to me, but was not communicated to me in any way. I discovered the open recall after experiencing repeated mechanical failures following purchase. Four days after purchase the vehicle overheated and had to be towed — the coolant system was found to be completely empty. An independent licensed mechanic subsequently inspected the vehicle and stated on record that the mechanical defects appeared to be pre-existing conditions that existed prior to the sale. The vehicle currently has an unrepaired Takata airbag inflator which the manufacturer has identified as capable of exploding and sending metal fragments into the vehicle interior at high speed, risking serious injury or death to occupants. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The recall remains unrepaired. The dealership was contacted and a manager verbally acknowledged they did not disclose the known defect prior to sale.
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH, the clutch started slipping, causing the vehicle to accelerate independently. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was an oil leak from the oil filter housing, causing the clutch failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 83,000.
ABS system dash light. Mechanic referred me to dealership. Dealership revealed no modules available from manufacture. Resolution?
Horn no longer works and the seatbelt light is on. My mechanic said there’s a recall… The clock spring apparently is contaminated… Also, I see there’s a recall on the airbag.
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated while making turns, the air bag warning light illuminated, and the vehicle made a beeping sound. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with the steering wheel clockspring failure. The contact was informed that the clockspring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V018000 (Air Bags); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The ABS module needs to be replaced, but Jeep states that is un available and has been for over two years. Subsequently the vehicle has no ABS and is much harder to control in the rain.
Our 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited just caught on fire. I happened to be in my daughter’s bedroom, 20 feet away from where the Jeep was parked. I thought I was seeing flames reflecting from the TV, but I realized that they were real. My next thought was that my husband was building a firepit fire. I thought that was weird because he was doing it in the front yard, but I didn’t think any more about it because I was so focused on my work. I went back to work for a second, but something told me to look again. I did, and then realized that it was the Jeep that was on fire. I screamed for my husband, but couldn’t find him; I was scared that he was in the Jeep. Actually, he had been in the back yard and heard me screaming, so he ran up front to see what was happening. I called 911 while my husband tried to put the fire out with the water hose, which didn’t help- the flames kept getting higher. It took firefighters a while to extinguish the flames and to get it cooled off. The engine appears to be melted. It is in our yard and available for inspection. The fire fighters made a report that my husband has requested. We’re waiting on the insurance company to contact us. The fire smelled electrical. We smelled no gasoline. I was absolutely horrified thinking about what might have happened if it had ignited at night when no one was looking. My daughter, my pets, my husband, and I could have all been casualties of this spontaneous fire. The fact that it was day time, the unusual coincidence that I was where I was so that I saw the fire, and the fact that my husband parked on a different side of the yard than usual, all probably are the reasons we are alive today. Had any one of those events not been in play, it could have been a very different outcome. My husband had no indication that there was a problem with the Jeep. He’d just driven it. He reported no odors and no problems at all. He takes excellent care of it, so it was in great condition.
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the ABS, traction control, and parking brake warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated the brake pedal seized, and the transmission was shifting roughly. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with ABS module failure. The dealer was notified of the failure; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
The ABS Module needs to be replaced and the part isn't being made anymore.
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.
ABS module has stopped working. OEM parts are not available. Only used or repaired parts are available and they are 3 to 5 times what they should normally cost. This affects antilock brakes and traction control.
Abs control module defective per dealer diagnostics (110 bucks) , abs light on, brake light on, traction control light on , little car on downhill slope, safety issues are driving without brake control and steering, parts on back order alot of people flooding internet with same issue, as well as oil cooler, who puts plastic in the middle of a hot motor and thinks that wont break, that should have been a recall that was 1000 replacement now 1400 part replacement because it has to be done at dealer
The ABS warning light, Traction Control warning light, and Emergency Brake light are all lite up on the dashboard of my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. ABS is not working on my Jeep. Mechanic shop checked for codes and said the ABS control module is bad and needs to be replaced. The shop qouted me $1,500.00 for parts and labor and that was if they could find a new ABS control module somewhere. If part isn't replaced, I'm told that brakes could fail or Jeep could seize up after being driven so many miles. Mechanic shop said ABS control module for Jeeps is on National backorder and they are hard to find, can find used ones at salvage yards but they are priced three and four times what they normally cost brand new and they may or may not be able to flash the module to match my VIN on a used one. In other words, can't get a new one because they are not being produced any longer, and there's no guarantee that a used one will work. Online forums have confirmed all of this information also, as there are thousands of people who are having this same issue over the past year or so. I have spoken with several online dealers who sell OEM Mopar parts and they have confirmed that this part isn't even being produced any longer and there is no replacement part for it. So all this to say, my Jeep is parked, undrivable because of a safety issue due to this part (ABS control module) not being produced by anyone any longer.
I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler that has the brake, ABS and traction control lights on. It is a FAILURE OF THE ABS MODULE. When these lights are on, these systems are disabled. Jeep has told me that this part is on back order, due to a high failure rate. It is a safety issue when these systems are down. I have been told that some customers have waited a year or longer for the part, with some selling the vehicles. I think this problem needs a recall.
2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, 3.6L, V6. Vehicle suddenly goes into “limp mode” while on highway due to bad ABS brake control module. Mopar replacement part number 68259556AD, but it is on back order nationally for over a year. Jeep dealer will not take to fix. Chrysler Dodge doing nothing about it, forcing owners to drive vehicles without ABS or traction control. This is not right with customers as we need car to work or it is a 2 ton paper weight. There appears to be no incentive to fix this back order issue. Please help!
It is all over the road going down hill when wet or icy. The 68259556AD abs module is not working , warningLights are on the vehicle and the part is no where to be found. Been on backorder for months.
ABS Module has gone bad. Replacements are not being made, and it is unable to be rebuilt. This forces me to drive with the anti-lock brake system not working. This is my only means of transportation and I have to drive it to work to pay the grocery bill. I feel unsafe driving it, but I have no other choice. Something needs to be done, and replacement parts need to be made available. 1
Airbag Clock spring has failed in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The airbag dash light is now on and the whole steering wheel system no longer functions properly. I see there was a documented recall for this year/model. It’s not showing on my VIN. The clock spring has failed in my vehicle.
The ABS module on my Jeep is failing with a C2200 code andthe ABS, Brake, and traction control lights illuminated on the dash. This is a very common problem with Jeep Wranglers as has been noted in several online communities. Some have been waiting literally years for a replacement part from their dealerships with none either being made or delivered and no solution for repair for thousands of people. This is clearly a major safety issue for thousands of people with Wrangler from the years 2008 - 2019. This needs to be a recall.

Jeep Wrangler JK ABS Module Issue: History, Stellantis Response, and Safety Concerns Background: The Discontinued ABS Module Problem Jeep Wrangler owners (particularly Wrangler JK models from 2011–2018) have been plagued by failures of the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module – a critical component that controls the vehicle’s anti-lock brakes and stability control. The problematic part is commonly referenced by Mopar part number 68259556 (with revisions AA, AB, AC, AD, AE for 2014–2018 Wranglers). In recent years, this ABS module was discontinued by the manufacturer and put on indefinite backorder, leaving owners unable to obtain a replacement when the unit fails. The issue isn’t isolated to just one part number or model – similar ABS module shortages and failures have been reported in other Stellantis vehicles (including later Wrangler JLs and even Ram trucks) as well. Stellantis (the parent company of Jeep, formerly FCA) has not provided new stock of the module for an extended period, creating a nationwide shortage that has frustrated many customers and raised serious safety concerns. Timeline of the Issue and Part History Owners and mechanics first began noticing ABS module availability problems around 2021–2022, coinciding with supply-chain disruptions and corporate changes. Mopar initially listed the Wrangler JK ABS module as on backorder, with projected availability dates that kept slipping (one OEM parts source in early 2022 noted the part was backordered with no firm ETA). By 2023, the situation worsened: dealerships reported that no new units were being produced at all, effectively discontinuing the part without warning. Supplier Fallout: According to insider reports on Jeep forums, the shortage stemmed from a supplier issue – the original ABS module supplier for Jeep/FCA stopped production (allegedly after Stellantis attempted to cut costs), and it took the company over half a year to find a new supplier. Some reports claim Stellantis “tried to
i have a 2015 jeep wrangler unlimited sport and the ABS controle module has failed rendering the jeep without traction control and without abs system i have contacted service centers and told that it has been a backorder part for several years and that mopar has been less then responsive to the issue and all the service centers has waiting list of customers with the same issue that it is a well documented failure i reached out to mopar twice directly and got no answers and was told to talk to my service center something needs to be did to atleast make this part available
- 2015 Jeep Wrangler with only 46K miles - Dealership has confirmed that the ABS Module is out on the break system. - When module suddenly went out, Jeep went into "limp" mode in heavy Houston traffic. - Warning lamps: ABS System, Sway Bar, Check Engine, and Traction Control all lit up suddenly. - Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep has a National Backlog of the ABS module that apparently has not delivered new products for months or years. - Vehicle hard breaks, will not go faster than about 15mph, and cannot be used in current state as it is unsafe to drive. - Vehicle is stranded 1 hr from my home, cannot be driven and will not be able to be driven for the foreseeable future. - Unconscionable that Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep is not making this part thereby rendering my vehicle absolutely useless.
Took to two shops for the air bag light on dashboard. They told me this is a known issue with the clockspring and I should check for recalls. My vin shows no open recalls, but because this is a known issue with a previous recalls, i believe recurring issues should be assessed and repaired under the ongoing recall.
The ABS and traction control warning lights came on. The dealership diagnosed the issue as a failed ABS control module, part number 68259556AD. The vehicle is now considered unsafe to drive, and I am on a waiting list for a replacement part with no estimated time of arrival, and several others have been on this waiting list for two years. Replacement part can not be found.
•The ABS system has failed in this vehicle. The cruise control has also failed. According to research, these are related. Diagnostics show a 2200 code “anti-lock brake module internal”. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Internet research reveals that this is a very common failure with this vehicle. The parts are unavailable from Jeep/Chrysler and other suppliers. Module rebuilding services such as Module Master cannot even refurbish these modules since the chips are no longer available. This leaves many Jeep/Chrysler vehicles either inoperable or on the road without ABS. •Without ABS, the safety of our family is at risk every time we drive since this important safety feature has failed and is irreparable. Anyone driving in the vicinity of any of these vehicles is also potentially at risk due to this system failure. •This problem is persistent and has been confirmed by advanced diagnostics (code 2200, see above). •The vehicle/ABS system has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others besides my neighbor, who assisted with diagnostics. •We were alerted to the failure by dash warning lights- the brake, ABS, and traction control lights are all illuminated. •In summary, this is a common failure for these Jeep/Chrysler vehicles which has been compounded by the manufacturer’s (and other’s) inability to provide repair parts to correct the failure. We respectfully request an investigation into this issue with a directive to the manufacturer to recall these vehicles.
Was on [XXX] traveling 40 mph. Traffic came to a sudden stop, when I hit brakes the ABS never kicked in and I slid into car in front of me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I am having my oil cooler housing replaced once again after having replaced only 4 years ago. I am on my 3rd radiatior and 3 thermostat. This jeep is not driven hard or offroad and has been maintained in excellent condition. This engine is junk and not safe. I have not had warning lights only oil drippings in the driveway yet the oil level doesnt seem to change. If not caught this will cause your engine to lock up.
ABS module is bad and has been on backorder for well over a year now.
The abs modular has went out in my 2015 jeep wrangler and [being that there is a nation wide backorder I am assuming this is a known problem by jeep.
Dear NHTSA Safety Team, I’m writing to formally report a serious and widespread safety issue affecting Jeep Wrangler vehicles. The problem centers on the failure of the ABS module, which triggers diagnostic code C2200. This defect disables critical safety systems including ABS and traction control, and causes the vehicle to shake violently—often mistaken for warped rotors. Jeep has discontinued production of the replacement ABS module, and the part has been on backorder for years. Today alone, my dealership received three separate calls from owners experiencing the same issue. This is clearly not an isolated incident. The consequences of this failure include: - Loss of ABS and traction control functionality - Unstable braking behavior - Increased risk of collision - No available replacement part from the manufacturer This poses a clear and present danger to drivers, passengers, and others on the road. I urge NHTSA to investigate this defect and compel Jeep to issue a recall or provide a viable solution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
ABS light, stability control light and brake light on instrument cluster is illuminated. Took vehicle to dealership. They stated that the ABS module is faulty and needs to be replaced. The person at the dealership said that he could not say whether or not the vehicle is safe to drive. Did a little research and found that this part has failed on many vehicles, and there are over 500 of this item backordered across the country. The dealership has no idea when to expect replacement part.
On July 27, 2025 the brake, ABS, and traction control lights lit up on my dash panel. The problem is a C2200 code which means the ABS module has gone bad. There has been a back-order of this part for several years now with no indication of when or if this module will ever be made available again.
Drivers side seat belt will not retract back into place it just stays completely out.
The ABS module has an internal failure. The part is in back order.
Airbag light is on and the code it says is for clock spring
The jeeps ABS module is having an error code C2200 that is present in many jeeps and the manufacturer is unable to repair or emit a recall for this issue. Jeep went into limp mode on the rode and cannot be driven.
ABS module quit working, ABS, BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS came on. I then had no speedometer and transmission would not shift. Attempting to order a replacement part and have been told by every part dealer including MOPAR themselves that the ABS module is unavailable with no estimated date for replenishment and has been for over a year.
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact later discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy based on the vehicle's Trip A and Trip B recorded mileage. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of the purchase, the vehicle mileage was 33,000. The contact later discovered that the vehicle Trip A mileage was approximately 98,000, while the vehicle trip B mileage was approximately 68,000.
On a trip on 7/3/2025 out of state the engine failed due to a blown head gasket , which is the third engine related problem I have experienced . Other issues include: Broken exhaust valve spring, cracked oil filter housing. With being the original owner and having only 84,000 miles I feel this has to be an issue Jeep is having with my engine 3.6 Liter V6. I am lodging a formal complaint to hopefully, have help with the $11,000 quoted price to replace my engine. Thank you
Have no ABS. The light for the ABS stays on. Unable to get a part because it is under an "engineer review". The failed part is the hydraulic control unit. My safety and the safety of others are at risk due to no having anti lock brakes in south Florida where the roads on constantly wet. This is clearly a known problem.
ABS MODULE IS FAULTY AND CANNOT BE REPLACED. VEHICLE BRAKES SPONGY AND UNRESPONSIVE. PLASTIC OIL MODULE PIECE HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT LESS IMPACTING THAN ABS MODULE.
ABS module is bad. I have been trying to get one for close to 2 years. Jeep tells me they are still on back order and not able to get one.
On June 22, 2025, I parked my Jeep in a parking space in a hotel parking lot. I opened the rear tailgate to retrieve items and when I closed the tailgate, the spare tire fell off as a result of the the spare tire carrier failing and ripping in half. Half of the carrier is still bolted to the Jeep and the other half to the spare tire. There was no warning of impending failure. If this had occurred 10 minutes earlier while I was on the freeway, it could have injured or killed someone. There is nothing in the Jeep owner's manual about maintenance or how to prevent this from happening. Jeep's response was that it is no longer under warranty, but I feel this is a product defect issue. (see photos)
Garavel Chrysler Jeep Dodge 300 Westport Ave Norwalk, CT 06851 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 2015 06/12/2025-06/13/2025 & 06/192025 - Chris Riordan (Service advisor) & Rich Morel (Service Manager) 203-845-8040 My daughter was driving the Jeep and noticed the brake pedal was intermittently sinking to the floor, she brought it to the dealership where Chris Riordan (Service advisor) immediately diagnosed the common problem with the 2015 jeep Wrangler of caliper freeze up and hose replacement. knowing this issue they still let her drive the vehicle home with a known hazardous defect, The vehicle was dropped off for repair on 06/12/2025. later in the day we were notified that the mechanic upon re-installing one of the caliper bolts broke off the head of one of the bolts and they had to order one and it would be installed 06/13/2025, My daughter was there in the morning to pick up the vehicle only to find out it was not ready and that it needed to be test driven not once but twice ?? My daughter then drove on the highway home to pick up two children she was babysitting ,while pulling up to a friend's house she was told there was a grinding and scraping noise coming from the front left rim, we then told her not to drive the vehicle. At that a friend's mechanic removed the wheel and found the bolt missing that was supposedly ordered and installed with two test drives, so the caliper was flopping around off the rotor putting my child's life in danger. Our mechanic renewed the bolt and properly bled the brakes that Garavel’s mechanic failed to do also, What he also found was a front axle seal leak and a defective tie rod. Garavels service department failed at every possible level
This is a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, it is need of a new ABS Modulator. This part has not been available for quite some time almost over a year. This is a critical safety feature that needs to be addressed. Jeep dealer told me and also a local mechanic not to drive in wet conditions. I have taken it to 3 different mechanics, dealer, and two outside the dealer, none can get the part. I have a ABS light on and traction control light on and a brake light on due to this part problem. Please help me in resolving this
I have been working with multiple mechanics to diagnose an intermittent and unpredictable stalling issue with my 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon Unlimited, VIN [XXX] . I have conducted the following repairs to attempt to fix the issue: 1. Rebuilt Transmission 2. Replaced throttle body 3. Replaced PCV 4. Replaced crankshaft sensor 5. Replaced camshaft sensor 6. Replaced Fuel Pump 7. Replaced fuel pump fuse 8. Replaced fuel pump relay fuse Mechanic and I have traced the problem to a likely fault in the TIPM. Due to unpredictability of stalling this has become a safety issue as the car will stall in traffic. Most often between 35-40 mph and below 2000 RPM...this is always while driving and is unsafe for both me and my fellow motorists. Most recent date is noted later in this form. If requested, I can provide receipts for professional repairs noted above, and receipts for parts I have purchased to replace myself.
