2014 JEEP WRANGLER — Complaint #2178528
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES filed February 19, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2178528 (ODI reference 11719105) concerns a 2014 JEEP WRANGLER and was filed on February 19, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 3, 2025. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, 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 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 2014 JEEP WRANGLER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
My ABS module failed, which is a very well know issue with the 2014 to 2018 models. When the ABS module failed I was driving the vehicle and it went into fail safe mode while I was on the freeway service road. The speedometer stopped working and the vehicle would not go over about 20 mph. The vehicle was fine one minute and then I had no control of how fast I was going. I was with traffic that was going 60 mph and it could have been extremely dangerous for me or other drivers. The vehicle has been at the dealership since October 3rd, 2025 and has not been drivable due to this issue. It has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealership. There were warning lights but I was told that it was fine to drive until the part was available. It is currently on a national backorder for the last 18+ months without an estimated arrival date. The failure first appeared in June of 2024 and the part has been on backorder since then.
