ABS Didn't Work

[silverooby]

I had to stop very quickly at highway speed in my 2022 JLUR. The wheel locked up and I began to slide sideways. I have to assume the ABS didn't kick in. Any experience with this?

Did the wheels continue to lock up, or did the ABS eventually kick in? It take a second or so for ABS to kick in after hard brake application.

I let off the brakes to stop the slide. I was beginning to go sideways.

Next time it rains find a recently resurfaced stretch of road or parking lot and do a test. Don't let off the brakes.

Thats odd. I've had to do a hard stop in my Sport and the ABS kicked in almost imeadately. Do you or did you have any dummy lights on at the time? Any driver assists turned off?

I second testing it in a safe environment. Like an empty paved parking lot or something.

No lights, everything else normal.

And you weren't pumping the brakes, right?

I'm not surprised... I had an incident where the ABS failed to function on a a snowy road, sent me into a slide, and spun me off the road. I took it in to the dealer afterwards and I got the standard "No DTC, could not replicate problem". Which is funny, because on a snowy road, I can make the ABS not work on demand.

The ABS system on these Wranglers is junk, and the dealer service network is just a denial mouthpiece for Stellantis.

Every dealer is a denial mouthpiece. Payouts on warranty repairs are bunk. If companies could, you wouldn't have a warranty. If they cared about the customers we'd have free access to repair info for the vehicles we buy.

I let off the brakes to stop the slide. I

If you didn’t get on the brakes hard enough to feel ABS pulsing and then let off like you said, you didn’t engage ABS.

 

[silverooby]

Jammed them on. Tires were skidding.

 

[jludave]

Jammed them on.

Was the pedal pulsating? If not, you never actually activated ABS.

 

[silverooby]

No it wasn’t which goes to my original point that abs didn’t come on. Just checking to see any of you have had similar experience.

 

[jludave]

Then exactly my point that you did not get on the pedal hard enough or long enough to activate ABS. I don’t believe you have any issue other than that.

Like I said before, I jammed the pedal hard. The Jeep was beginning to slide sideways.
