Owners have filed 683 complaints
about the 2015 Jeep Wrangler with NHTSA between 2014 and 2026.
The largest single group is the engine & cooling.
Across this model's run it ranks 11 of 33 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 50
Against the median year of the Jeep Wrangler. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 67
13% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 81
48% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

NHTSA investigations into the 2015 Jeep Wrangler
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants.

Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 201901679,206 units in Canada
Airbag
Issue: On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety Risk: If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective Action: Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag inflator replaced. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

I purchased my 2015 Jeep Wrangler approximately a year and a half ago. At the time of purchase, the ABS, Traction Control, and Brake warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard. The dealership told me these lights were caused by a simple sensor issue that was on backorder and would be resolved later. About two weeks ago, while driving, my Jeep suddenly went into limp mode. I had two independent mechanics inspect the vehicle, and both confirmed that the diagnostic codes pointed to a failed ABS Module. I then contacted the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. They acknowledged that the ABS Module is still on backorder but claimed they did not believe the module was the issue, despite the diagnostic results from two separate mechanics. The ABS Module has now completely failed, and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. The ABS, Traction Control, and Brake systems are not functioning, and the Jeep cannot be operated normally. I am unable to drive my vehicle due to this safety‑critical failure. This appears to be a widespread issue with ABS Modules on this model year, and replacement parts are unavailable. I am submitting this report so NHTSA can investigate whether this ABS Module failure represents a broader safety defect that requires action.

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.

I am contacting you to report a serious safety and parts availability issue involving my 2015 Jeep Rubicon. Jeep is no longer making the ABS module for my vehicle available and I have been unable to obtain a replacement module anywhere else. This has been an ongoing issue for several years now. The ABS system is an important safety component, and without a functioning ABS module, the vehicle can not be driven safely. What is particularly concerning is that Jeep has effectively left owners with no reasonable way to repair this critical safety system. This is not a consmetic or convenience related part. The ABS system directly affects the vehicle's ability to brake safely, particularly during emergency braking or when traction is compromised. I would like NHTSA to investigate whether Jeep's failure to make replacement ABS modules available for these vehicles creates an unreasonable safety risk for owners. I also believe NHTSA should determine whether Jeep should be required to provide a remedy, replacement parts or other means of restoring the ABS system to safe operating conditions. Please let me know what additional information is needed to formally document this saftety complaint.

I was driving our 2015 Jeep Wrangler on the highway probably going around 60MPH and had a deer run in front of her and had to brake suddenly. The jeep skidded and fish taled slightly before coming to a complete stop and I avoided hitting the deer. The ABS system did not work. Ironically, the ABS and Traction Control lights had come on occasionally but would then go off. It's hit or miss whether these lights come on when you start the vehicle. We took the jeep to Barnes Automotive in Westminster Maryland and they diagnosed that the ABS module (Part 68259556AE) was bad and needed to be replaced. They said they tested it by clearing the error, but then after driving it around town, the error would appear again. They informed me that there is a national shortage of the part and they estimated there is a 90 day backorder. I can't wait 3 months to not drive the vehicle so they let me know just to be aware the vehicle will be ok to drive but to know that it doesn't have ABS if I need to make any sudden stops. Sounds like a very common issue with Jeep Wranglers.

Incident: On the morning of July 14, 2026, (rush hour), I was driving my 2015 Jeep (VIN [XXX]; approximately 28,000 miles) southbound on Interstate 75 toward Miami International Airport. I was traveling at approximately 75 mph when several dashboard warning lights suddenly illuminated: •Brake warning •ABS •Sway bar •Stability control •Transmission The Jeep speed dropped dramatically while the engine rpm increased sharply. The sudden deceleration caused a near pileup among the vehicles behind me, but no collision occurred. Aftermath: After the abrupt slowdown, the speedometer displayed no reading. To protect the engine, I continued operating the Jeep at 3 to 3500 rpm max, and an estimated speed of 20–25 mph. I was able to exit Interstate 75 a few miles from the initial incident and eventually reached Park 'N Fly near MIA Airport. Dealer Findings: Upon trip return on XXX, I took the Jeep to Bomnin Chrysler-Jeep (invoice XXX). The dealer advised me that: •The Jeep's ABS had failed. •The reduced-speed condition was a built-in "protective" feature known as “limp mode.” •The failed ABS module, part number 68259556, is reportedly a common issue in Jeep JK models. •Stellantis no longer manufactures with part. As a result, the Jeep became inoperable for normal use and had to be transported approximately 150 miles from XXX to my residence. Safety Concern and Requested Action: I was fortunate that the road was dry and that no semi-truck was immediately behind me. The passenger vehicles following me were able to react safely, preventing a collision. It is unacceptable that a component directly related to braking and vehicle stability is reportedly prone to failure, discontinued, and that a reliable alternate part does not exist. Given the seriousness of the failure and the sudden loss of speed it caused, I believe ABS module 68259556 should be investigated for a a potential safety recall covering the affected vehicles.

About a year ago my dashboard lit-up with a variety of ABS warning lights. My diagnostic module indicated a failure of the ABS module. I paid over $1400 for the part from Mopar and am still waiting with no guaranteed delivery date. Mopar calls the part a "special order," but should be part of the standard parts repair inventory. The braking has become unreliable (or "mushy") with extreme swerving on sudden breaking. Evidently, this is a wide-spread problem being experienced by many Jeep owners. I contend that there should be a safety recall before there is a serious accident or class-action.

A variety of warning light came on my display in September 2025 indicating a failure of the anti-lock braking module. I paid $1137.01 with Mopar Genuine Parts only to find that the part is on "universal back order." That was almost a year ago! It doesn't seem "usual and customary" to charge for a part before it is shipped. Also, driving the car in this condition poses a significant safety risk for which there appears to be no resolution. Aftermarket parts are not available or have poor customer reviews.

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited failed, resulting in a C2200 internal ABS module fault. The failure disables the ABS, electronic stability control, and traction control safety systems. The failed component is available for inspection upon request. The initial symptoms were ABS, traction control, and stability control warning lights appearing intermittently. The issue was later confirmed through diagnostic scanning to be an internal ABS control module failure. As the condition progressed, the vehicle lost the speedometer signal and began experiencing abnormal automatic transmission behavior, including delayed shifting, holding gears longer than normal, and higher than expected engine RPMs. This appears to be related to the vehicle losing accurate speed information from the failed ABS system. The vehicle was inspected and diagnosed with the C2200 ABS module fault. The required OEM replacement ABS module is reportedly unavailable through normal parts channels and has been on extended backorder, leaving owners with limited repair options and significant repair costs. This failure presents a safety concern because critical driver assistance systems, including ABS and electronic stability control, are disabled. In addition, the loss of vehicle speed information can affect transmission operation and normal vehicle drivability. The problem appears to be a known failure affecting other vehicles of this generation, and replacement parts are difficult or impossible to obtain through standard repair channels.

The failure disables the ABS, electronic stability control, and traction control safety systems. The failed component is available for inspection upon request. The initial symptoms were ABS, traction control, and stability control warning lights appearing intermittently. The issue was later confirmed through diagnostic scanning to be an internal ABS control module failure. As the condition progressed, the vehicle lost the speedometer signal and began experiencing abnormal automatic transmission behavior, including delayed shifting, holding gears longer than normal, and higher than expected engine RPMs. This appears to be related to the vehicle losing accurate speed information from the failed ABS system. The vehicle was inspected and diagnosed with the C2200 ABS module fault. The required OEM replacement ABS module is reportedly unavailable through normal parts channels and has been on extended backorder, leaving owners with limited repair options and significant repair costs. This failure presents a safety concern because critical driver assistance systems, including ABS and electronic stability control, are disabled. In addition, the loss of vehicle speed information can affect transmission operation and normal vehicle drivability. The problem appears to be a known failure affecting other vehicles of this generation, and replacement parts are difficult or impossible to obtain through standard repair channels.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was illuminated. While driving, the vehicle experienced a loss of traction, a pulsating or pumping sensation in the brake pedal, and skidded easily upon heavy brake application. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V896000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, Jeep models were not included in the recall parameters. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with electronic control unit (ECU), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, and ABS failures. The vehicle was not repaired because the parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 128,000.

I recently had the C2200 Code for ABS module failure. The fact there are no current parts available and there has been a waiting list for years is extremely troubling. I'm not sure how having a faulty ABS system is not an issue that warrants an investigation. There are a lot of Chrysler/Jeep vehicles on the road that are having to be driven in an unsafeanner due to not being able to repair the damaged parts. This is unacceptable.

I have a Bad ABS control module error code. Code C2200. The Module is not available to purchase. I had it back ordered for a year already till the dealer cancelled the order and refunded me the money. I am forced to drive my jeep this way. This needs to be addressed by the Jeep. This is a known issue in the Jeep community.

POWER TRAIN
am the original owner of this 2015 Jeep Wrangler, which I purchased new. The vehicle has been properly maintained according to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. I have records documenting routine maintenance, including regular oil changes. At approximately 75,000 miles, I began hearing a persistent ticking noise from the engine. Because I was concerned that the noise could indicate a mechanical problem, I scheduled an inspection with an authorized Jeep dealership. The dealership diagnosed the vehicle with a failed rocker arm that caused damage to the exhaust camshaft. The dealership advised that the intake camshaft remained in good condition, indicating that the failure was isolated to the exhaust valvetrain at the time of diagnosis. This type of internal engine failure at approximately 80,000 miles was unexpected for a properly maintained vehicle. My concern is that if this condition is not diagnosed promptly, continued operation could result in further engine damage, loss of engine performance, engine misfire, or potential engine failure while the vehicle is being driven, creating a potential safety hazard. While researching this issue after receiving the diagnosis, I found numerous reports from other owners of vehicles equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar engine describing similar rocker arm and camshaft failures across Jeep owner forums, Reddit, Facebook owner groups, and YouTube. Although I understand there has not been a recall for this condition on my vehicle, I believe the number of similar owner reports suggests the issue may warrant further review. I am submitting this complaint so that NHTSA is aware of the issue and can evaluate whether similar failures are occurring with sufficient frequency to justify additional investigation.
