ABS Module. The safety lights are on for the ABS Module. We verified the fuses were all good, and replaced them with new ones, just in case. I took the car to a mechanic who used a handheld computer to reset the warning. The warning lights came back on as soon as I started the engine. My mechanic attempted to order the module, but we are getting that it is on back order. We had been told it would be at the dealership in Oct 16th, but is still not available today Oct 31st. I understand that if for any reason I have to slam on the breaks, there is a chance that my brakes will fail. I entered our VIN but received the message that our Jeep is not listed as on recall. Other 2015 Jeeps are on the list, but ours has failed?? Doesn't seem right. I'm was not looking for free to begin with, but do need to correct this issue. Neither option is to available.

ABS, Traction Control, and Brake lights have been on for more than a year. I have taken it to Jeep Dealership here in Jacksonville, FL and they have continually tried to order the part from Jeep, but are told that the part is. not available at this time. I called Jeep directly and have been told "Part STOCK is under QUARANTINE pending quality / engineering review and inspection. Working to obtain timing on resolve to predict allocation and shipment to DLR to fulfill No firm ETA to provide at this time. Pending response from SPLR / PKG Working to improve." Which is not really an answer. My ABS does not work, and my car cannot be put into cruise control mode without this part being replaced.

WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I GENTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO GLAD THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED VIA THE ABS SYSTEM. THE CAR LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM . I THOUGHT MAYBE THE CAR HAD JUST BROKE TRACTION EVEN THOUGH I WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE THAT WAS PAVED AND DRY. HOWEVER, WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE END OF MY STREET THE SAME EVENT HAPPENED AND PUT ME IN A COMPROMISING POSITION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC THAT I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL ACROSS AND THERE WAS A CAR COMING. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAFFIC BEFORE I WAS T-BONED IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR.

LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON (12/13/19) I HAD A SIGNIFICANT BRAKE MALFUNCTION WHERE I BELIEVE THE ABS SYSTEM FALSELY THOUGHT A WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP AND RELEASED THE BRAKES OR MADE THEM MUCH LESS EFFECTIVE DURING A NORMAL STOP (MY INTERPRETATION OF WHAT HAPPENED ' ESPECIALLY AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH). I WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROX. 45 MPH AND THE LIGHT AHEAD TURNED YELLOW AND I PRESSED THE BRAKES TO STOP. THE BRAKES WERE INEFFECTIVE, AND I REALIZED I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. I DECIDED TO RUN THE LIGHT AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AGAIN IN A SLOW FASHION AND APPLY THE BRAKES. I HAD THE SAME INEFFECTIVE RESPONSE. I TRIED A THIRD TIME WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I BELIEVE THE ABS WAS BEING ENGAGED FALSELY. I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE AND NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM CERTAIN THAT IF I WAS ON A CROWDED MAJOR HIGHWAY AND I WAS HAD TO STOP I WOULD HAVE CRASHED ' UNNECESSARILY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THE ABS TO ENGAGE. THE ABOVE INCIDENT OCCURRED APPROX. 3 HOURS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE IN THE VICINITY OF DAVENPORT. I BROUGHT THE JEEP TO POSNER JEEP WHO CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND RE-INITIALIZED THE ABS AND SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THE JEEP IN 2015 FROM ARRIGO DODGE IN TAMARAC AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AND SENSORS. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THE ISSUE CAN HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATHS IF NOT DEALT WITH APPROPRIATELY.
