2013 Jeep Wrangler, which is currently subject to a manufacturer-issued “Do Not Drive” safety recall involving the driver’s airbag. Upon learning of the recall, I immediately acted responsibly by delivering my vehicle to Romano Chrysler Jeep in Fayetteville, New York, so the required safety repair could be completed. My Jeep has now been at the dealership for more than six weeks because the replacement airbag remains on backorder. During this time, I have repeatedly requested updates and asked whether a loaner or rental vehicle could be provided. Despite the fact that Stellantis has instructed owners not to drive affected vehicles, I have been informed that no transportation assistance will be provided. Compounding the problem, my New York State inspection expired while the Jeep has been sitting at the dealership. I attempted to have the vehicle inspected before bringing it in, but was advised that it could not legally be inspected until the safety recall had been completed. As a result, I have been left without a usable vehicle through no fault of my own. I fully understand that supply chain delays and backordered parts can occur. However, I do not believe it is reasonable or fair for a consumer to bear the financial and personal burden of a manufacturer-issued Do Not Drive recall while the required repair cannot be completed. As a long-time automotive owner, taxpayer, and consumer, I believe manufacturers should stand behind their products when a federally mandated safety recall removes a customer’s ability to safely operate their vehicle. I respectfully request the following: Immediate authorization for a loaner or rental vehicle at Stellantis’ expense until my Jeep is repaired. Expedited shipment of the required replacement airbag, if possible. Written confirmation of Stellantis’ position regarding transportation assistance during this prolonged recall delay.

Had this 2013 Jeep Wrangler since new and has ABS module internal failure code C2200. ABS, ANTI SKID, BRAKE lights are constantly lit on the dashboard. No ABS on this Jeep making it unsafe in an emergency braking situation which could cause a crash. Have tried for over a year and a half to have the ABS repaired or get a new ABS Module. As of today, June 29, 2026, Mopar Parts has again informed us that the ABS Module is unavailable. The Internet has been alive with many Jeep Wrangler owners driving around with no ABS braking. NTSA needs to take action to get this corrected.

The ABS module failed in summer 2025. We took the Jeep to the mechanic who was unable to source a new part. The part has been on backorder now for over a year. We cannot get the Jeep inspected because of the break safety issue. The Jeep has no ABS if emergency breaking. Several warning lights are constantly on when operating the Jeep.

2013 Jeep Wrangler. ABS module internal failure code C2200. 3 lights are constantly lit on the dashboard. No ABS on this Jeep, making it unsafe in the rain and snow. No way to have this part repaired anymore, nor does the dealership offer it. Shameful and shocking that MOPAR isn't dealing with this problem. Many, many Jeep owners are dealing with this problem. When will we see a recall??

I purchased a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara (VIN [XXX] ) from Soliman Motors Inc., [XXX] (phone [XXX] ) on April 11, 2026. The vehicle is subject to active NHTSA stop-drive recall #19V-018 for the Takata passenger airbag inflator, issued January 15, 2019. This recall was not disclosed to me at any point before, during, or after the purchase. I was never informed of this active federal stop-drive safety recall by the dealer. I discovered the recall independently after purchase through the Jeep manufacturer app. Upon discovery I immediately contacted an authorized Jeep dealership to schedule the recall repair. I was informed that recall parts are on nationwide backorder with no confirmed availability date. I am currently on a waiting list at an authorized Jeep dealership. This recall has been open and unrepaired for over seven years since its issuance on January 15, 2019. The dealer sold this vehicle to me without disclosing the existence of this active stop-drive safety recall. The recall involves a Takata passenger airbag inflator that can rupture upon deployment, sending metal shrapnel toward vehicle occupants — a known life-threatening defect responsible for deaths and serious injuries worldwide. I have been driving this vehicle without any knowledge of this life-threatening safety defect from the date of purchase until I independently discovered the recall. The dealer’s failure to disclose this recall at the point of sale put my life and the lives of my passengers at serious risk. Additionally, the financing for this transaction was cancelled by the lender, Thrift Investment Corporation, because the dealer sold this vehicle to a buyer without a valid driver’s license — confirming the dealer failed to conduct basic due diligence before completing this sale. I am requesting: 1.Investigation of Soliman Motors Inc. for failure to disclose active stop-drive recall #19V-018 at point of sale 2.Review of whether Solim INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The ABS module has failed. The jeep was not involved in an accident, it is at my house not driveable because Jeep does not have the ABS module. The part has been on factory back order with no date of availability. No aftermarket company produces the past. I now have a jeep that is useless. Jeep should be held accountable for availability of the part.

My 2013 RHD jeep wrangler is showing codes B1B02 and B1B06. I took it to jason lewis automotive in sparta tn yesterday. The airbag light is on and the horn does not work. These are the exact same failures identified in safety recall s40. The previous owner of my car got this done in 2021 but the remedy has failed and the safety risk is back. They confirmed that the clockspring is bad and needs replacing. The confirmed the codes and it matches the s40 recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler with 180,000 miles. I never off road the vehicle, but after driving on a dirt road, the stability control kicked in during a turn. At the start of the next drive after that, there were 3 lights on the dashboard: brake, ABS, stability control. Connecting the JScan app to the vehicle, the ABS module is completely unresponsive and the vehicle gives a C2200 error code. There were no symptoms of this issue before this event. This vehicle is available to be inspected any time. Lack of ABS is a very dangerous safety concern, as neither of my children have ever had to drive a vehicle without ABS. After some research, this seems to be a very common problem. After some age and heat cycles, the electronics in the module become weak, and my single use of the Stability control apparently is enough to push the weak electronics over the edge and destroy the module. This has been confirmed through several companies who repair these modules, such as [XXX] , who no longer repairs these modules, apparently because the computer chips are no longer made, and I have heard stories about the chip maker going out of business during covid. It was also confirmed by a local Jeep specialist, and the dealer parts department also tells the same story, people have been waiting on this module for over 2 years now. A manufacturer of this size with this many vehicles affected by such a safety issue should step up and commission another chip manufacturer to make these vehicles road worthy again.

The clockspring went bad, but the recall for that only applies to 2007-2010 Jeep Wranglers. The airbag light is on, my horn does not work, and the buttons on my steering wheel don't work.

I have $80,000 in my jeep parked in my garage because the ABS module failed. Error code C2200. I have taken it to three Mechanics; Kap Motor Sports in Palmetto Fl, AFNY, and 4 Wheel Parts in Bradenton Fl. All have run tests coming back with the same error. We have done two Abs bleeds to try and fix the problem. This part should have been recalled years ago. It has been on back order for years and when Firkins Jeep in Bradenton Fl tried to order the part the order was canceled by Jeep. Jeep hasn't recalled it and isn't making it available for their customers who have spent so much money on their jeeps. At this point a lawsuit needs to be filed and have started that process. This is my daily driver and if my Jeep kills or injures someone due to this ABS failure Jeep will be held responsible.

SERVICE BRAKES

The component that failed is the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Control Module in a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. Diagnostic code C2200 (“ABS Control Module Internal Failure”) was retrieved during a scan, indicating an internal electronic failure within the ABS module. The component remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. When the failure occurs, the vehicle’s ABS, traction control, and stability control systems become disabled. The dashboard displays warning lights for the ABS, traction control, and brake system. While the base braking system continues to function, the loss of these electronic safety systems could increase the risk of reduced vehicle control during emergency braking or low-traction conditions such as wet or slippery roads. The issue has been confirmed through diagnostic scanning by a service center, which produced code C2200 indicating an internal failure of the ABS control module. The condition is repeatable: the warning lights appear after approximately 10 minutes of driving, and if the vehicle is turned off and allowed to sit for a period of time (such as overnight), the lights reset but return again after driving. The replacement ABS control module is currently extremely difficult to obtain. According to a Jeep dealership parts department, the module is on significant backorder, with hundreds of outstanding orders that were expected to be filled earlier in 2026 but remain unfulfilled. The part is widely reported within the Jeep owner community to be a common failure for this vehicle generation, yet no recall or official remedy has been issued.

The ABS module that controls the antilock braking system is defective for mine and many other Jeeps from 2013-2017. Jeep is no longer manufacturing this part, and essentially this renders the vehicle undriveable. I have sought modules both locally and online, and the experts are telling me that Jeep has not made this part in years. When driving with the bad ABS module while trying to search for the new part, my Jeep shut down on the highway twice, and I was forced to pull over the side of the road. This was extremely dangerous. And Jeep is providing no solutions for owners.

ENGINE

The oil filter housing is known to leak, crack or break in standard weather conditions. This can be exacerbated by extreme climate or by simply storing the vehicle outside of a climate controlled area. The hazards posed start with the slow but continuous leak of engine oil from the housing down the transmission and driveline to the ground. This is an environmental hazard to ground water and plant life. The oil can also contaminate roadways leading to slick spots in the road coupled with icy conditions this could cause for large scale vehicular incidents. Lastly if this issue goes unchecked and the oil leaks out of the engine entirely or to a low enough level it could cause the engine to seize in some shape or fashion. This would cause the aforementioned hazards to occur all at once culminating a catastrophic hazard event.

ABS, dash lights have come on. BRAKE, ABS, Traction. When needing to do sudden braking on wet road tires lock up and Jeep slides. When asked a dealer I was told that the ABS had an internal fail and that replacements are Not aviable. After researching they can not be found or repaired and was told to buy a used replacement. When one was located they said it was no warranty and that it would most likley fail also because they "all fail". Doing an online search this is a wide spread problem and dealers have no fix.
