“Yesterday my ABS and esb lights came on. I did notice a bit of grinding type noise approximately twice in a full day of driving. Today, same thing, but lights went off a couple of times right after start up. My brakes and tires were replaced in late august. The repair shop said my brakes were in good order but the right rear wheel speed sensor is bad. If this doesn't correct issue, a wheel alignment and reset the steering angle is recommended. …”
NHTSA complaint #11372276, filed 2020-10, 188,300 miles“While I was driving the ABS bas esp stopped working and the lights came on. We were living in ft wayne indians at the time and without those features this Jeep is flat out dangerous. I had the wheel speed sensor replaced twice but that wasn't it. One dealer rebuilt all four of my brakes and purged the system. That didn't work. I paid four different dealerships over 3800$ plus rent fees. It still is t fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #11052132, filed 2017-12, 200,300 miles“In response to all the complaints of ABS light and brakes feeling like they won't work. I had this problem and was at the dealership a lot over the last 2 years. It turned out to be a burnt wire! I have not had any problems in the last 3 months (which is a long time for this car)!. Please tell your mechanic to check the brake sensor (ABS sensor) wires!!”
