Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:ABS WARNING LIGHT filed June 14, 2024
NHTSA complaint #1999507 (ODI reference 11594361) concerns a 2016 JEEP WRANGLER and was filed on June 14, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 1, 2023. The vehicle had 120,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Indiana based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip:abs warning light, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP WRANGLER cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip:abs warning light failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2016 JEEP WRANGLER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the ABS was erroneously activated, causing the vehicle to abruptly decelerate, and the brake pads and brake rotors overheated. During the failure, the ABS and Traction Control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the ABS Control Module was faulty and needed to be replaced, but the part was on backorder and not available. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
